Made this pretty little order with Autobeam today. Hopefully the sequential indicators will be back in stock soon for me to purchase as well!

    I do like getting the all clear from the doctor further to a cancer scare.  Still got lots of problems in my life but at least now I've (hopefully) got a lot of time to deal with them.

  • I do like finally finishing a model kit I first started 5 and a half years ago.  It's a very special model that i was supposed to finish by the time the aircraft took her final flights across the UK

So just was looking at insurance for my car as its 2 months away from renewal. So hopefully I might be able to keep the fez hopefully. If so I was looking at getting some wheels and headlights for it. So insurance for last year was £550 with legal cover and no claims protected. Now I've gotten cheapest is £494 with Hastings. For £10 more I can go with Hastings essentials which adds on breakdown cover which is £35 if I added it on the cheaper quote. 

Now this made me happy. I added two mods on the comparison site which are alloy wheels and light accessories (headlights) and the quotes did not change 😁. So can get insurance which is cheaper than last year whilst declaring the wheels and headlights and added breakdown cover 😊. Now pray I can keep my car and insure it. If ulez comes in I'll likely drive my sister's car to my hospital every weekend for volunteering as its just in the ULEZ border though I'll see if they'll set up cameras approaching the hospital.

That's a good price Zain, I think for the Passat I was about £900 this year but it is an estate with a 140BHP engine.

Could be due to the car. I tried looking at dad's insurance on his volvo if he puts me as a second driver. Went up by £1200. It's weird how it works.

Those still would be good. I had the performance ones before they were in the performance range and then got the new ones as the old ones went wrong.

@Zico Paul chaudry finally made a new zayn malik skits 😂🤣

 

I have also bought a SYNC3 upgrade kit for the Focus, from someone that had done the same to their prefacelift MK3. Question with the asbuilt data for the reprogramming, how come the data for the MK3.5 Tit X I've used has a lot more fields than the one I checked for my car? Is this alright?

Nice to have some good news for once [emoji1]

I don't like having to work 6 hours today!! 

Ok, only joking. Like working 6 hours. Last week I did 3 days of 5 hours each

I'm managing the 2 metre distancing ok at work. 

@TomsFocus 3 more posts until you hit another milestone 😄

Well I've learnt something there, never realised likes were counted!!  🤦‍♂️  Slightly awkward that I have more than you! :unsure:

Quantity over quality I guess! :laugh:

 

We all know you would sulk if we didn't. Ha ha. 

Actually we are very close if you divide posts against likes. it takes you 1.72 posts to get a like. Takes me 1.723 posts.

Well if we're going by that metric :tongue:

Do like making a late night 'breakfast' to keep myself a little full for fasting till sunset. Got boiled egg mayonnaise, mixed with dijon mustard and black pepper. Placed in two pieces of toast 😋. Personally taste better making the egg mayonnaise from scratch

I've been working 48 hours per week across six days since January 2012 and still today 🤷‍♂️

I'm guessing alot of people will be getting used to the increased social time especially those with young families at home. 

Others will be scrambling to get back to work with increased motivation and eager to try out there new found mental perspective's 

I managed to bring my car insurance renewal down from the auto renewal quote of £484 to £483 (see here). 
The new lower price includes lower mileage (upto 5k), all the optional extras (courtesy car, breakdown etc) and protected NCD (4 years).
