chaseracer Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 You can never win an argument on the internet. Back in 1869, John Stuart Mill explained why: "So long as an opinion is strongly rooted in the feelings, it gains rather than loses in stability by having a preponderating weight of argument against it. For if it were accepted as a result of argument, the refutation of the argument might shake the solidity the conviction; but when it rests solely on feeling, the worse it fares in argumentative contest, the more persuaded its adherents are that their feeling must have some deeper ground, which the arguments do not reach; and while the feeling remains, it is always throwing up fresh entrenchments of argument to repair any breach made in the old."

scaryoldcortina Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Yeah, but John Stuart Mill was the only philosopher who couldn't stomach a decent amount of drink so his opinion is therefore suspect. chaseracer, robinmasters, Cavcraft and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulgalour Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 There were some CDs in the local charity shop for 50p each. So I threw caution to the wind and splurged £1.50 on some 90s gems: Prince & The New Power Generation - Diamonds and Pearls. This is THE MOST NINETIES THING I own. It's more nineties than my R8 with three spoke alloys.Alisha's Attic - Alisha Rules the WorldBlack Box - Dreamland Happy Festive Period to me.

M'coli Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I saw a Maestro van with what looked like a fibreglass hi-top on the M74 this morning! No photos however (boo!), I was driving. Tamworthbay, NorfolkNWeigh and Lacquer Peel 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No photos however (boo!), I was driving.There was a camper conversion called the Tandy that had a high top. I think the white one is a Tandy, there are a couple of other pictures similar on Google, not sure about the green one , it seems to have a full length high roof.

sierraman Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 And we’re back on the road. Misfire on Mondeo traced to bad connector on coil. When I took the coil off the wires had fatigued. Let in another connector from the spare coil and it’s back to normal. I’d have soldered it but it’s pitch black, freezing and I’m hungry so crimping it will have to suffice. purplebargeken and oldcars 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsuncog Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Saw an actual Dodge Spacevan earlier, in 'well-used work hack' condition - and signwritten for a local business too. Terrible pic quickly taken backwards over my shoulder from about 75yds away in the dusk and cropped to buggery, but you get the idea and you can be sure I'll be popping in there shortly to have a quick chat with the proprietor... I'm sure the natural home for this is the Lazy Spotters thread, but I was grinning like a loon for a good hour after that, so I reckon it's not wasted here either.

GrumpiusMaximus Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 My old Fiesta passed its MOT today with no advisories. Win! It's done about 10K in the year. Backstory is that I sold it a few months after I got the Golf a couple of years ago. I loved that car but it needed a lot doing. New cambelt, etc. amounting to about a grand's worth. Sold it to a new driver and his Dad for less than I'd planned, who had some contacts to get the work done. It was a bloody good car to me and I had it about 6 years, so I'm very pleased that it's still on the road and going strong.

Tamworthbay Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Jewson’s Tamworth, their wagon is off the road so the very helpful guy there arranged for their Stechford branch to deliver (a round trip of about 40 miles). When the guy arrived there was only my stuff on the back which was a bit surprising as it was only 15 minutes into the delivery times for a Saturday. I asked if I was his last drop, he said that I was his only drop. So they have bothered to arrange a guy to come in specially on a Saturday for a couple of hours to do that trip on a £50 order of plasterboard. They havent made any money on It dont think but they have impressed me with their customer service and will be getting my custom. And the guy was a fan of my Capri and an ex Capri owner as well so we spent twenty minutes talking old cars.

DodgeRover Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 In fairness he would have been booked in to work anyway so they may as well do the delivery rather than hang about doing yard work.

DodgeRover Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Spent yesterday walking round Eastbourne with the dog whilst my OH went to a funeral and a wake. Got home had tea and was asleep in bed for just gone 9! The dog was just as shattered having spent a lot of time swimming in the sea. Left at 9 this morning to take my son to a guitar lesson and the dog popped out to the toilet then went back to bed.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remspoor Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 No, I don't. I didn't find it particularly amusing but there again, I'm pretty tolerant. Genuine racism, discrimination, poverty and homelessness are things that disturb me and are worthy of contempt. Thank God you're here to guide us, however. What about job discrimination?

I have spent quite a lot with them recently but even still they have gone above and beyond a couple of times now. They didn’t have any plasterboard screws in on a previous visit so one of the lads dropped them off on his way home the next day. Like any chain some will be better than others but I would recommend Tawmworth/ Stechford branches to anyone. People are quick to moan but not as quick to comment on good service so I will fire off an email to the boss to say thanks.

I don’t worry about best before dates as long as stuff isn’t obviously off. I wouldn’t normally go for it at 04/15 expiry but needs must.

Zelandeth Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Proving to myself that I was in fact not losing my marbles when I was bloody sure a few months ago that I'd bought a fuel filter for the Lada, which then promptly vanished without trace. Just found it. Yes, that little blue box hiding in the manual shelf on the bloody engine analyser. Well at least I can change the sod now! The fact I'd not been able to find that had been really bugging me. DeeJay, purplebargeken, myglaren and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
