cobblers Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Had a day off work, come out in the camper for a couple of nights and had a lovely big long walk up on kinder scout. Feel much better for it as my stress levels were about 9000% I took the most obscure routes around the quieter areas, and only came across two people all day. One of them was my favourite youtube personality (Pat Dickinson) and we had a really good chat. That's made my week really, what a sad bastard!

HillmanImp Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 That does answer the question about who the sponsors were for Renault. Only took 800 people losing their jobs to find out. My search algorithm must've been fucked up for some reason when I looked before. I should probably stop using Bing. cort1977, wuvvum, Shite Ron and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey spud Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I went to see a local band last night (the very excellent Marleybone jelly) at rough old pub in Gillingham and over the road was a secondhand shop with these beauties in the window I was instantly taken back to the 80's and my succession of MK1 Escorts and pioneer head units.😁 Dick Longbridge and dome 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meggersdog Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Yesterday my 11 am MoT turned up and parked infront of nextdoors closed shutter door. After a few minutes of her just sat there I went out to get the details of the car. She was on the phone ( to her dad probably, as he booked the time) . Her boyfriend was glued to his phone screen when she looked up " Oh you are here". Yeah I'm actually nextdoor. Looking over "Oh yeah". came the reply. She has been atleast three times before and all the other workshops are closed with just my door open. From where she was parked I counted six different MoT related signs clearly visable on the walls and doors plus the half a metre by three metre name of the business above the window. Made me smile due to the fact this airhead is actually a teacher. DSdriver, myglaren, HillmanImp and 6 others 2 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoverFolkUs Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 A review for a local car dealer of mine that I have happened across, and their subsequent reply! I have redacted their name as I don't think it's fair to publicly tarnish them without any direct experience of them myself, but the review is readily available online for any prospective purchasers wanting to buy from them. What I do know is when I wanted to buy a Focus off them a few years ago, I was greeted with the engine warmed up (I had to give 30 mins notice before arriving because the wife was using the car...!?) and the bonnet lock "deleted" (his words) and naturally not opening. I asked how am I supposed to buy a car without looking under the bonnet, he said "you can use a 12" long flat blade screwdriver but I don't have one unfortunately as I gave it away with the last one I sold with the same problem" Needless to say I didn't buy the car! I don't know what to think of that experience or the review above! On one hand it's quite funny but on the other hand the dealer's attitude is shocking 😂 Dick Longbridge and myglaren 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddyramrod Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Today has been my wedding anniversary, 24 years. Somehow I never expected to get here. I was 38 when I met MrsR and tbh had more or less given up on the idea of marriage. Next year will be our Silver.

None if this " I'm.sorry that your experience dropped below our usual high standards" bollocks. Maybe they are also running P&0 ferries PR ? Word gets around anyway, but if there are reviews and responses like that on line they should find business difficult.

Crackers Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 P6 insured for 2022: £507. Sounds a fair bit for a classic but I'm chuffed with that - last year it was just over a grand.

Spottedlaurel Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 A certain ex- @BorniteIdentity purple Avensis went in for its MoT today, I don't believe prep was any more involved than someone taking it for a drive around the block. The verdict: I got to see it again at the weekend, it's still going well. Dyslexic Viking, dome, Crackers and 15 others 17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyslexic Viking Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Got the Vivaro back from the garage and it has passed the inspection (MOT) and I let them fix some things on it, and it was much cheaper than I had thought.
