Cavcraft Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 WTAF? Deleted it? Is this a joke? I have really enjoyed this place but if that is the level we have reached it's pathetic. It will do me good to have some time off I suppose, it certainly looks like I don't fit in here any more. No, the new thread (started today) with the SQA title was locked. The original question thread is still here and we're on it right now.

warren t claim Posted April 24, 2018 Author Posted April 24, 2018 It's a little known fact that when I started this thread I was going to call it Question Time to fit in with the News 24 thread title but I remember Barrett once posting that it might be a good idea if we had some sort of stupid question amnesty after the first page of the board was getting clogged up with similar questions. outlaw118 and M'coli 2

I realise I am in a minority, there's no i in team and it's not all about me etc so I will shut up and sod off now. tooSavvy, D Spares & Tyres and Scruffy Bodger 3

nomiST Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 Tell me - am I going to get utterly shafted, tax-wise, on a 2003 Subaru Forester 2.0 Turbo? Snip Also - if I were to view it, is there anything I really need to know about these? Mrs DC's horsey set loves them as being comfy and bombproof, that's why she suggested one. I know they're a bit thirsty, but I don't do many miles so that's not a massive concern. I don't often post here, you lot are so much more entertaining than I could ever be. Buuuut... I've been running a N/A version of this for four and a half years now, it's just gone through an MoT fault free apart from advisories on tyres and brake pedal rubber. And that's the fourth MoT in a row where it's only cost me the price of the test. I've never had a car go through one test fault free let alone four. Mine's mow on 85,000 miles, bought at 50,000 and apart from fuel (lots, <30mpg), tyres and oil changes I've spent almost FA. Drop links (£75) and a wheel bearing (£125) are the only other expenses so far. My maths figures that the tax at more than £300 and fuel at loads is balanced out by the other running costs. Probably. It's also a laugh to drive, I bet the XT is even more so. I really hope I haven't jinxed it! -Simon Dirk Diggler, mrbenn, Cavcraft and 3 others 6
M'coli Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 Why when you see a statue of the great Jim Clark is he always depicted as a racing driver? Why are there no statues of him,say, more than wrist-deep into a blackface ewe during a difficult twin-lamb lambing, for example? His farming background is still important. chodweaver, twosmoke300, Lacquer Peel and 4 others 7
The Moog Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 I appreciate the likes and messages I've received over the last couple of days over this but can we put this to bed now? Both myself and admin don't want any of us to have a meltdown over a title. How about a compromise where I'll name the thread Ask A Fellow Shiter A Question? Then everybody has won?Sounds like a plan warren t claim and puddlethumper 2
GrumpiusMaximus Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 We'll have no stupid questions here, thank you very much I only ask stupid questions. No genuinely, I'm new to this shiteing malarkey. All my questions are bound to be stupid and have been asked before. chaseracer, The Moog and tooSavvy 3
Ghosty Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 Cavcraft has been a moderator on here for as long as I've been here, with some breaks, and chaseracer also I think. When I joined, the only mods IIRC were Billy and Trigger (whose efforts have not been forgotten). As I remember Chaseracer has been a mod since Trigger stepped down as modding was stressing him out (this was around the time of regular server issues, and problems with Breadbanned72 and Daveb47).

Slartibartfast Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 So who's been moving the Kitchen utensils again?! thread title.png A compromise was reached with Mr Claim. Hopefully we can all move on now?

binhoker668 Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 Hmm. Interesting ole can of worms that one. As long as there's somewhere I can ask a question as a relative novice (and not get immediately flamed like fuck by the experienced spannerist mob - "just fucking fix it"), I'll be happy lurking away.That 323 of Mr Leyland's really was steal of century eh!

Microwave Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 Will my car pass an MOT with only the drivers seat in? I've taken the passenger and rear seat out for cleaning and I'm planning to MOT the thing in the next couple days.
davehedgehog31 Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 What's the consensus on the MG ZS and associated 45? Are the diesels any good? I'd like a V6, but it with the mileage it would cover, the fuel might cripple me. Just suddenly got the horn for one based on how much I like my elderly 216 auto, that and a manual ZS could a nice fleet make. I am however the least decisive individual on earth and this fleeting idea will soon be lost to the sands of time.

andy18s Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 Doesn't there have to be a seat if there is a seatbelt present?We used to get told to put all 7 seats upright in the D3 as the belts for the back 2 were "on display "
