High Jetter Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 It's summer, tourists are allowed to visit unfamiliar areas, which many of them didn't do last year. Therefore, out of practise. Those of you who live in or near any kind of tourist attraction will know how bad these distracted learner drivers are, and it's doubly worse this year.

wuvvum Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I was watching a load of clips from that Milwaukee roundabout last night. American drivers don't seem to get the concept of roundabouts very well. myglaren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrumpiusMaximus Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Anybody got a catalytic convertor for a 2004 Fiesta kicking around at all? Just had an MOT failure on my FiL's car. Proper arseache. 1.25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Must be plenty in car parks, can’t be more than a three minute job with a trolley jack and an angle grinder?

GrumpiusMaximus Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 It's bloody annoying. It's an absolutely cracking car, bought from this very parish back in about February that in all other ways is bob-on. I really, really like it but the cat is a tricky one...

Can’t off hand remember what/where the Cat is on one of those. Once you start fucking about with old exhausts though you’ll probably find the full system is fucked. Fitted one of those full kits from Poland a while back on a Corsa and it was a surprisingly good system, better than the Klarius shit from ECP. Ive no doubt you could fit a OE cat but it’s probably not worthwhile as even the cheap one will probably outlast the car. twosmoke300 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reb Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Got an envelope in the post today addressed to "REB Esq." Inside a note: No key though. Don't know if it's fallen out in the post or he forgot to put it in. Awaiting a response to my text. Hopefully he's forgotten to put it in and I can go and pick it up like I should have done to begin with. If not it means I won't be able to get to the unit this weekend.

omegod Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Not grumpy but there isn't really a thread to suit, just sitting here after my wife has been carted off in an ambulance after her heart rate went fucking mental, like 190 bpm mental along with some worrying arm pain and vomiting, Paramedic ECG didn't show any horror signs but they've taken her in for further testing. Pre covid I'd have been with her but I now have to wait at home for updates which feels all kinds of wrong. I'm reasonably confident she's ok but quite worried all the same ..... strange times indeed mitsisigma01, nomiST, Sir Chocolate Teapot and 20 others 2 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
