Squire_Dawson Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I have smoked a pipe for over 12 years now, usually one a day. The only pipes worth smoking are Dunhill, if you go onto one of these from some other pipe it is a whole new experience. Anyway, any Brum shiters who could view and collect 5 tyres for me from Sheldon por favor? Jim Bell and clayts450 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New POD Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I succesfully gave up smoking 5 years ago using Ecigs, the only problem being I now can't give up the bloody Ecig!I was offered a contract to help a tobacco company design and develop an e-cig product about 7 years ago. I explained that there was only one industry I'd never work in on principle. I'd happily take money for making weapons, alcohol, drugs, adult sex toys, meat pies, GM foods, tracking, but never the fag industry.

richardmorris Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Some Netflix series Britannia is filming along my commute to work this week. Anyone know it? Saw them tonight trucking a load of lights and generators along the country lane. Apparently they’re taking over the car parks that Surrey just started charging for.

Ghosty Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I'm not sure what I'm looking at a picture of, but I've regularly had my track bike in my 416s (front wheel off and put in boot, rest of bike across back seat), and into my Civic, 216 and 740 wagon in one piece, so the answer is definitely yes. I've also had a mountain bike in the boot of a B5 A4 saloon with the wheels off, ask bub2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They_all_do_that_sir Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Well im happy to test drive and get a brochure. It sounded good, just looked awful ( IMO). My nearest dealer is panghourne so unless they want to offer me an extended daily test I won’t bother.It looks very Audi at the rear, and there's more than a hint of Porsche Cayenne at the front. From the side the design language is very close to what Honda have been punting out on a larger scale? I'm sure they'll sell loads though Sent from my TA-1012 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with modern seats and belts, it's amazing how much of the seat you can gather up mid corner if you hit a bump or carry a bit too much speed. I should imagine that interior will need a jet wash..... LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
