A remnant of my BX days! Trying to be efficient* I actually ordered two boots from the Netherlands this morning, €80!! It could still be handy to have a spare though, feel free to drop me a PM and let me know how many beer tokens you’re after! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am actually amazed that the cable has stayed plugged in there. On my SurfacePro you just have to look at it and it falls out the socket. Either that or it thinks it's in tablet mode when the keyboard is still connected. I'm glad it isnt mine. alcyonecorporation and LightBulbFun 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unavoidable because the mains portion of the cable isn't long enough to have the brick on the table. The plug is held in with a relatively weak magnet so it's more likely to yeet itself out than knock anything over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reb Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 May* have crossthreaded the expansion tank cap on the 850 and didn't realise because I was rushing. It only became apparent when I decided to go for a blast around the lanes on my way home. It got a bit warm and went into limp mode. Lesson learned.

The fun part will be finding out what I get as a rental car, as I've booked 'wild card' essentially is getting a 'compact' for cheaper than if I just picked 'compact', but there's a very slim chance I could be thrown the keys to something else! I'll probably end up with a Sentra again, but I'll try my luck and maybe see about an upgrade pending cost and what else is in stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMotor Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Tried to swap the insurance from the 306 I had to the replacement Lex/ota Altezza. Current insurer doesn't cover RWD stuff. Oh fudge! Did get sorted as the car is still unregistered at the moment and need it insured for getting it taxed/rego'd. Reminds me, need to do another V55/5 because I R THICK and messed it up.

JJ0063 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Forgot to take a before pic but did the first bit of house moving prep today and took down the 2 trellis panels we put up a couple of years ago as Amber wants them at the new place. I had set the posts in postcrete but somehow they luckily just wiggled out of the ground leaving the concrete behind. The slab the oil tank sits on looked awful after, properly green and caked in moss so I gave that and the tank a good pressure wash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a heads up, unless you're close to another year of NCB, just cancel the policy. Earned NCB is valid and transferrable for 2 years from the policy expiry/cancellation. Put the saved insurance and tax money in a pot to fund the next car, and get the car fragged while scrap is still high. Should see an easy £300 from it, maybe more? loserone and HarmonicCheeseburger 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelandeth Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 So begins the long trek back to England. So far already been admonished by security for my choice of legware (apparently having large pockets is bad as the new X-ray machines identify them as a threat). If that's the worst of it I'll take that as a win for now. If it weren't for the challenges in particular with healthcare system over here in the US I could see us looking at moving over here. Michigan isn't a bad place to be. Sadly with the laundry list of medical issues we have as a family, the monthly health insurance bill would be more than we're paying on our mortgage currently. I'd forgotten how friendly folks over here were, it really is a very different culture to England, at least any areas I've known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fumbler Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 And done, just before sundown. It wasn't without some difficulty - the bumper isn't secured to the wing yet because I need it on ramps. I need to find a 10mm nut from somewhere for a piece just underneath the bonnet catch. Apart from that, all is good.
