Ken.K Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I seem to have acquired a 6th sense to anticipate bad drivers now looking to cutting in. I can actually know when a bmw, Range Rover, Audi or some kind of 1l car is looking to cut in with no indicating lights. The force getting strong to sense foolishness.

SeanW Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Just arrived at Welsh Harp near Brent Cross with my cadet OIC (we're doing our Powerboat Instructors course) I've also towed a trailer down to collect a dozen kayaks (big yay - they're free :D) Stewart nearly pooed himself because I have a "when in Rome" approach to driving! Some eejjit tried to stop me pulling out to avoid some parked/abandoned cars...soo I pulled out anyway...it's fine...he didn't hit me or the trailer - it was close lol (My choices were slam the brakes on and still plough into the cars because this guy dropped into lane 2 from 3 with no warning or indicators - or pull out and risk a bent lightboard strut. As it happened, he slowed down) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I love people whom purposely double park there brand new 171 registered vehicle outside shopping centres, so they can say to everyone around them "ow that's mine" when the customer service desk call it out over the intercom vehicle model and registration 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep registration over here goes 171 D 1234 171 = sold between january-June 2017 172 = sold between July-December 2017 D = County sold in for example D = Dublin 1234= it's the 1,234 vehicle registered in that year. it's all bragging rights in my opinion " ow I drive a 171" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmurray01 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I do like Marlboro's "Pro-Seal"... Accidentally left a pack in the 405's glove compartment for 10 days and they still taste as fresh as the day they were first opened. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken.K Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Not seen a 17 plate yet thought it was in April the change happens. Do like having a nice clean carSent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisroberson99 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 17 plate comes out on 1st March. My Focus was registered on the 25th Feb so was just a few days off the new plate! Dad's got one coming but it won't be here until April, so will be in the new tax bands! A V12 is hideously expensive to tax anyway so probably won't make much difference haha. I like cleaning a few cars too, namely the Range Rover and my godmother's elderly C-Class. I do love that carport! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
