Guess you have already found out that generally these type of Chinesium 200a inverters are not bad for the money as long as you factor in that the display shows about twice the actual current. And of course the 200a rating is nearer 100a. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Mother In Law stayed with them for Ten years, and was paying £650 for a 1.4 seat, the yearly increments were excessive but affordable to her. Switched to RAC for £280 including breakdown cover and hasnt looked back. They all are, my dad was with the same company for decades , they were charging him over £600 , I got it for less than 50% of that Didn't go so well though , 18 months later he rang me up , who was that insurance with , I can't find the certificate and I need to tax my car That's when I found out it hadn't auto renewed and he'd been driving with no insurance for 6 months Oops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine worked in his dad's business selling industrial machines. Manufacturing by contractors in China, they would produce the first batch perfectly. Then gradually the spec began to drift. Titanium fixings became stainless, stainless fittings became mild. Non vital components start to disappear. Sizes begin to shrink. Metal got thinner and thinner. The company would have the machines shipped directly to the customer and only discover these cut corners when they went to maintain or repair them. A swift flight to China and a bollocking given, the spec returned to normal for a bit. myglaren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRi05 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Drove my mum and dad about on Christmas day so they could both have a gargle when out visiting, they normally laugh about how I always have a different car when I visit them, and this was the first time they'd seen the Saab. They were absolutely purring over it ? had a fair bit of country road driving so stuck the roof down for a laugh, they loved it. Think I'll just donate it to them when the time comes to buy my next piece of chod from here. privatewire, The Moog, Tickman and 12 others 13 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Yep, space probes were built to last in those days.

Bobthebeard Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Working on Christmas Day. My first Christmas as a private hire driver so decided to put my name down to work all day. Christmas tariff so 50% extra. Really enjoyed the day, everyone in a good mood, no traffic and plenty of 'tips'. Was about to sign off at 6pm but a job pinged up to collect a customer from a local club. Turned up, waited and waited. Just about to log the job as a No Show then a young lass dashed out in full going out gear. "Are you waiting for me? It's Katie" Agreed that I was so in she got. She needed to go and feed her four horses and return to the party, could I wait and bring her back etc? Did that. The grin is that she was delightful and her horses were in stables miles away. £30 fare and a £10 tip. A great end to work on Christmas Day. mrbenn, Jerzy Woking, somewhatfoolish and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boeing can't even get theirs to go into orbit at all, not the right one anyway, so experience isn't all it's cracked up to be. At the moment parachute science seems to be harder than rocket surgery, or something. myglaren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dozeydustman Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Spent the last 2 days at work driving this Anyone Who has ever driven a Merc Econic will know why I’ve been grinning since yesterday morning. Loaded it hits the limiter (56mph) in 50 seconds, which for 26 tonnes and a 280hp engine is pretty quick.... jumpingjehovahs, busmansholiday, Datsuncog and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
