You might look out the window one morning and see that someone has taken the Mersey in the night, but they will have done it under cover of darkness and nobody will have been threatened.

I've actually been to Liverpool and it was quite pleasant.I did get accused of being an Evertonian by a bloke in a pub though.I was like no mate, my team are far shitter than them.Sent from my VFD 710 using Tapatalk Banger Kenny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was pretty shocking , but adrenaline , driver trying to run , I can see why she panicked though some of the cops are out of control I saw one where they approached a black guy double parked, asked him to take the key out , no no i'll just park over there , no turn it off, next second he's gone , nobody got run over but the cop fired 5-6 shots into a moving car with a lot of traffic about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyrew Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 My £6.27 nut arrived from the local mazda dealer. Bolt was a smidge cheaper from the dealer than a mx5 specialist which is the grin. But no one seems to sell the nut so the dealer came through with the nut and bolt next day. Excellent service LightBulbFun and adw1977 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leyland Worldmaster Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 I fucking love Suspension Bridges. My favourite is the original Severn Suspension Bridge as it was my first experience of one and the world's first Aerodynamic Box Girder Suspension Bridge too. This fucker: ...will be the longest span of any Suspension Bridge when completed. The suspended section is about twice the length of the Severn Bridge suspended span... 🤓 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remspoor Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Managed to burn a load of branches cut down last autumn. Nice big fire, I like that. I also found that the box hedging has been hit with Cydalima perspectalis (Boxtree Catapillar). Sold a spay treatment, but that did not work. So cut the plants back as mush as I dare and burn the cuttings. Fire number two , but a lot smaller this time.

Same when I get bits from Merc. I'm amazed that 20 years later I can order all manner of odds and sods by just giving them the chassis number. myglaren, richardmorris, Remspoor and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always politely ask if they'll still give me 10% off for older cars. They seem happy to oblige. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared to Citroen ( who have actively destroyed much of their old car spares) it’s a revelation and really does mean you can run one of their old cars as a daily. myglaren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past 3 weeks ive learnt these really are Fun to drive, good looking, and i really enjoy using it. But from a tinkering perspective these wee mazdas are a complete pile of wank to work on.
