Usually ibuprofen helps but not scratching the surface today. Found some random painkillers in the bathroom that are Codeine/something else and fuck me they are fantastic, pain has gone completely and I’m mellow as fuck now too. Brilliant. Must buy more. co-codamol co-dydramol co-proxamol ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It went Red-Green-Red Can an Ambulance change the lights? @Spuriousmay know. No, except when adjacent to stations as already said. Suspect dud amber bulb(s), in this instance?

wuvvum Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Reversing cameras now working on both the Carina and the Maxus. I've had to put a temporary* switch in the van to get the stereo to go into camera mode as I haven't had the time or patience to try and dig out the reversing light wire yet. It was rather easier to track down in the Toyota. Dyslexic Viking, Split_Pin, Popsicle and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metal Guru Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 10 hours ago, SiC said: Not in the UK (at least afaik). Even if they could, it'd make the lights go all red and they'd cross over on an empty junction safer. You sat there, probably not on an induction loop, would make the traffic light controller think the queuing lanes are empty. I see people roll forward all the time and especially into sections for cyclists, which aren't covered by induction loops. But this makes the lights less likely to prioritise that traffic controlled section. Also flashing lights at traffic lights does not make them change quicker. The radars on top of the traffic lights have zero capability of detecting headlights. I know this for certainity because I was a designer at the company that designed and manufactured the vast majority of traffic light radars in use in the UK! Flashing lights to change traffic lights?Ha! That’s rubbish, who thinks that works? Everyone knows you shout at them!

brownnova Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Weather looked nice yesterday, so took the toddler and the MG for a nice run up the Evo triangle! Although it was a bit roof up roof down through as the rain kept interrupting things! I’m supposed to be selling this, but beyond half hearted attempts on here and car and classic I’ve made very little effort… LightBulbFun, Rust Collector, BeEP and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
