MorrisItalSLX Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I had a lovely time coming home this evening with this knob jockey sitting right up my arse through the residential speed zone and then repeatedly flashed his high beams and blew his horn because I had the audacity to indicate, slow down and turn into my driveway. I reviewed the situation, checked my indicator was working properly and concluded that he was simply a professional grade bell end. adw1977, myglaren, Talbot and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That happened alot at my mums old house, busy road and indeed it was easier to reverse in otherwise you couldn't see out. I fucking loved it when someone came haring around the corner then stops right behind me, until they get the hint and reverse with me. Judicious use of leaning on the horn usually made them get the hint, and the reversing lights and hazards... GrumpiusMaximus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New POD Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 10 hours ago, PhilA said: Supposed to be 7-14 days to collect. 21 days later and the trees have superbly killed the lawn. I guess we see how well that comes back (it should) We had a skip delivered arranged by our kitchen fitter. This being a 8 day job with a weekend in the middle. The skip hire company came after 7 days. Which included the weekend. So they had all the packaging for all the appliances still to dispose of. Fitter was not happy, as it was only half full. They took it away in thier van. I reckon it will go at the bottom of the skip for the next job on day 1. myglaren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cue >>> Stihlsaw armageddon (notching in) and a sandstorm in red dust!! All windows now pink tint, dglazing all pink, yard dusted like studio closeups for Lawrence of Arabia....

tooSavvy Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 On the subject of robbing fuel prices..

Comically bad clutch, huge gap between gear ratios on the base engine, badly screwed together and uncomfortable. The 3000rpm rev limit in 1st gear and binary (yet horrifically spongey) brakes are probably the things that are doing my head in the most. The fact the brake pedal is so high up you can't rest your foot on the floor and operate it (you just have to hover your foot on it like the clutch) makes is near impossible to stop smoothly. Oh, and the giant fscking touch screen that you can't properly turn off (it has an off button but wakes itself back up if you adjust the heater, someone walks in front of you at a pedestrian crossing, the stop/start activates and wants you to press the clutch so it can restart...you get the idea). Shocking visibility on the nearside front isn't earning any favour either. Crunchy sybcromesh on 3rd gear too...it has 4700 miles on!
