GMX Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I do like finding a horticultural trade supplier with no minimum order quantity/amount, who can do guaranteed next day delivery for a 25Kg bag of fish, blood and bone I also liked the orange Mk7 Fiesta ST that was in Tescos car park, a very fine example, obviously a fellow Ford enthusiast: it was immaculate. No FOC or owners club stickers on it though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I do like seeing an Australian Ute being used in a quiet, riverside village in Essex. Probably the only one I've seen in the flesh! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hywelkidd Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I've seen a Monaro round here a few times (although not for a little while now). Easily one of the loudest vehicles in the area, possibly only beaten by the Chevy truck who's owner seems to love rolling coal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisroberson99 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Well done, how was the hazard perception? I need to practice it for my test next month. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preecematt Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 @jmurray01 congratulations. How did you do on the Hazard Perception? I passed on the 5th time all because of the Hazard Perception Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the same as the practices you can do online, only it is more up to date and is simulated rather than real life footage. I am hopeless at them but evidently managed to do well enough to pass with a 46! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I'd fail on the theory but pass on the hazard other way around lol. I was absolutely gutted when I failed. I think driving is the only thing I've actually been that determined to do. As in I MUST pass my test etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in I MUST pass my test etc. It is annoying because the questions are mostly all common sense, but the hazard perception is clicking at the right time for the right hazard, which can be difficult even if you are a great driver. At least you passed in the end though, and hopefully I'll pass my practical test as well, then I can move on with my life. Right now, a driving licence (or lack thereof) is one of the major factors holding me back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tell you now, when you pass your test, it's like a massive weight has been lifted & it sounds soft but you feel free lol. Especially like you where you have your own transport ready, I drove to the test centre used the instructors car & mum & dad were waiting with my car & their car & when I said I'd passed boom off come the L plates & away I went. It was awesome 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was awesome I can imagine. Once I pass my test I'll be buying my insurance and those L-plates will go in the fire!! If you think I'm joking, I'm not. I plan to douse them with petrol and set them alight. I'll never understand people who go out of their way to buy P plates. If you make a mistake I will treat you the same, whether you have an L/P plate or not!! Makes no difference to me, you are still a human and when you are behind the wheel, a certain standard of driving is required - learning or not. Just like those "Baby On Board" signs. So what? Of course - I'd normally drive very dangerously, but just because you have an infant in the car I will be EXTRA careful... Yeah right!! I'll drive just like I normally do (which is carefully), regardless of whether you have a 1 year old or 100 year old in the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianb Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 What makes me mad is when you see some pleb in a chavved up corsa driving like a complete moron with a baby on board sign!!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, when you buy a Corsa you have to sit a special driving exam/test before you go on the road. Twisted baseball cap, trackies, subs, naff music, cherry bomb exhausts, faded trim, cracked wheel trims & wrong coloured body panels are a must & you must not be seen without a dr pepper smelling vape in hand, otherwise your stripped of your chav title & lose your corsa driving rights. Also you must be specially trained in the mindset of thinking you can beat every man & his dog in a race 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMX Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I do like that the planning committee have refused my neighbour's (chav type with Range Rover) massive building in his back garden for the second time unanimously. He had been refused two years ago for virtually the same building. He's obviously, judging by the size of thing, is trying to get a house on the site by a back door methods: massive building then change of use to habitable dwelling once up. A local developer tried and failed to get a house there, three times I do like Kings have added Alto to their beetroot range of seeds, which means I no longer have to go 15 miles out of my way for one packet of seeds 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
