Another vacuum collector found a Hoover Constellation on facebook near Coventry... He got it today

Half the collectors in the group are up in arms about how ruined it is, the other half (me included) think it's bloody cool! Was used in the staff offices or something he said

That's like the guy who saved a shagged-out pre-airflo, pre-suffix mk1 Cortina but stuck a Pinto in it and gave it the fast-road cam, wheels and suspension but was ostracised by the mk1 club for not returning it to standard...

It could be, but one scooter I looked at said it was legal in under 12mph setting. That may have mean exempt from license and insurance, I probably read it wrong.

 

DodgeRover: I wouldn't get too excited, a lot of cyclists will achieve 12mph (and much more) with ease.

 

Oh they do manage more, its more them riding 2 or 3 abreast down the footpath then trying to start a fight with a passerby who they have run into that annoys me, i've got no issue with little kids doing it, but stick them on electric peds and having them cruising the footpaths seems wrong...

Theres one guy on a pushbike goes from a standing start at the lights up a short hill and he's doing 25mph by the time he is at the top. I can't be bothered passing him to go another 5 mph faster to the next junction. He rides on the road though.

This is a massive step, he is as bright as a button, all my lads are but for this I am very proud of him

Are we talking scooters (like, electric motorbikes) or scooters (L-shaped things that you stand on and kick along)?

The kick-scooters are deffo illegal as they're self-propelled rather than having assistance. The bikes I thought were legal up to 15.5mph as long as it was assistance and not self-propelling (you have to pedal a bit), but under the same rules as pushbikes eg not ridden on the pavement?

 

It would be great if someone in charge of these rules could firstly have a look at what's available to buy now rather than 15 years ago, and secondly write them in a way that's understood.

 

There's a lad on Facebook selling a £4,500 electric mountain bike type thing that allegedly does 50mph.

last  weekend I managed a nice rear wheel drift around our local donut ....  it was a bit wet and on a bus route ...

 

and this week whilst sat in the not so local pub with my mates  ... woman comes in , dumps her shopping next to me , says look after it and goes and gets the drinks in ..

comes back and engages me and my mates until the rest of the gang arrive , then another woman across the way gets active and tells her hubby to

 

get the drinks in

 

2 hours later we are still going and having a good time ..

 

then I get the bus and sit down next to this w.......  etc etc

 

and tonight , the beer cask instructions have to be obeyed ,

 

consume within 3 days of opening .......

I no longer look at the for sale ads on here with longing and lust. I think I might have gotten through the worst now.

Still looking at the roffle ones?

Addenda the mobility scooter above. The lady has had her driving license revoked for medical reasons, hence buying the above. There is no license needed for a scooter so she wins on that too !!

[Cheggers]

Car insurance (eSure specifically) has made me grin. With 6 months of my policy left to run I had to make some changes:

 

Changing car from BMW 325i (value £4k) to Audi TT (value £15k) - £4.87

 

Adding the gf as a named driver - 70p (yes, 70 pence)

Always a concern when you have an unusual car visiting places of ill repute - oh I saw you parked outside ...etc.

The Mrs is slowly learning.

 

Me - I'm off for a bail out.

My brother pointed out an amusing* error in my Merc video..

 

I appear to have added 4 seats to the total passenger capacity!

 

 

Bonus points for the idea of Ducky seats too;)

Watching my wife playing with Google Assistant is about the funniest thing I've seen this year.

 

They fell out, had a row, then made up with a virtual hug.

 

Best bit was when she asked it to send me a text saying "I love you" and it sent me a text that said "labia" ("No! Stop it! Bad Google!")

 

Who says programmers don't have a sense of humour?

[Pillock]

Latest update can be made to enforce children saying "please" or Google refuses to do what they ask.

This makes me grin with amazement
