The Bounty Bar Kid

Haven't had a Christmas present in 5 years so an easy day at work would be nice🤞🏽.

First time I'll be working Christmas day. Decided to give my member of staff the day off. She's got 2 daughters and a grandchild. Doesn't make a difference to me.

I shouted out in happiness at that. I was hoping that both Mercedes had gone out tbh.

Just have a cold shower before you go, you'l be fine.

I'm not sending you photos of me in the shower again, first of all you ridiculed me and secondly you never fully paid for those extra special shots!

Having recently (last month) done Snowdon, kudos on doing that with all that weight. I don't exercise, at all, and 7kg of camera gear on my back was too much for me 🤣.

I went up the Pyg and done the Miners. Really wanted to try Crib Goch, but glad I didn't. If I went back, I'd do it without any extra gear and make sure I trained beforehand.

I'm sure Kaizer is also very close.

If ever there was a reason to get a switchable screamer pipe fitted...

Had that on the 350z but I'd never do that to Carla. I will be getting the cargraphics exhaust valve control unit.

Ohhh so he can have his fun but you cant. Its sounds personal lol....Motorbike....cant imagine its an electric one and quiet. The Ferrari might have triggered him. Some people are happy when they think theyre doing better than others. Then as you said their tone changes when they see you changed car or youre related to a guy that has a Supercar. Not saying its not noise related but it could partly be other things as well

 

Do you drive off immediately i did with the Z didn't stop someone calling parking enforcement though 

 

The new motorbike is quieter than his old one and smaller engines too. Same with the new car, is a VW up GTi. Ferrari came along after all this crap started.

When I was playing nice, I'd drive off straight away, but now I'm letting it settle after 30 seconds, and when it goes quiet I then drive off.

If he hits you he,ll never work outside a minimum wage job again. He needs to do what his fellow pilots did during covid. Get a job in retail or delivery that requires being up early. Idle hands brings out the devil in people. 

 

Im getting another car soon....Neighbours made noise for 7 months not caring and their enablers were all in. They even bought out the parking attendants for a few seconds parking so theres a lot of haters around. Theyre the biggest motivation going. 

 

How is he able to live there without working.... England seems to be one of the countries you can live in a nice place without a job......to the point ppl who work are wondering why they're killing themselves.....He needs to get a job, sign up to a course and mind his business. He should move out if he doesn't like the noise. If he's renting should be easy enough. 

 

On the flip side these cars werent made for terraced housing or the block. More detached house within its own land It is what it is. Neighbours make noise my snitch neighbour has a loud quad bike and im ready to report him if i get reported on. We can all report each other till the cabinet bursts

 

 

His last job was working as a pilot for Qatar airways. They paid for his accomodation in Qatar and money to cover home costs in the UK. Therefore he just had to pay very little for his home in the UK. He was overall making a decent profit excluding his actual wage. He's just been living off his savings, has been able to buy a brand new car and brand new motorbike.

Oh and he has a flat around the corner that he rents out.

Anyways I'm over trying to keep the peace and I have decided it's not my fault he likes to stay up late and wake up late playing computer games. Just shift your day a few hours earlier and you won't get annoyed.

So an update on what's been going on. In April I suddenly thought why am I tip toeing around him. He still isn't working so I'm going to start my car, let the revs go down after 30 seconds and then drive off. Then in May on a lovely Saturday morning, I was washing my car. I started the pressure washer at 8.36am (looked back at my CCTV). At about 9.30am he came outside and started saying to me that do I not think it's too early to wash my car and that every day I make noise. (I was leaving for work at 8.30am).

I said to him that I'd spoken to all the other neighbours and they were fine as they're all awake by that time. I then said to him that I'm tired of tip toeing around him and that's when he accused me of being selfish and narcissistic. He said next time he'll knock me out! 🤣

For the last few years, I've organised a street BBQ and this year he said he couldn't come. I noticed that he left his house about 10mins before it started, probably to go walk to his sister's house, and then returned about 20mins after the BBQ ended, obviously checking his CCTV 🤣. Just avoiding me at all costs.

Anyways it's now September and he's probably only worked about 4 weeks in total. I think the last time he did was in June. I'm not going to do anything different as it's just him that seems to be affected. All that chat about when I'll be flying late afternoon I have to regulate my sleep bull.

Really looking forward to next week where I'll be leaving home at 7am not 8.30am as I've got to travel for training. Let's see what happens after that. I'm expecting him to come out moaning again.

Snap 🥳

Just read this:

Looks like they might permanently cancel it, shame. I know it's not as good as it used to be but it was motoring news.

Just to give some context - on some pirelli tyres, I could go round a particular corner near me at 50mph. But with Goodyear eagle f1s I could do 70mph. Gave me so much more confidence, grip and twitched less. Felt planted. Tyre cost difference at the time was £20 a corner, so I'd say same price category.

Speaking personally I will confess my driving isn’t at a level where I could tell the subtle difference between mid range tyre brands regardless of the make. How many on here have the skills and abilities to be able to really tell the difference between tyres in the same price and performance bracket?. 

My opinion would be anyone who is confident in pushing their car to it's limits. I know I've tried different tyres before and the difference is night and day with some.

Gold standard is the Michelin pilot sport 5s. That's what you asked for. Money no object best you can get.

Then start reading about what others have suggested for value etc.

It was, but all others welcome as usual.

Oh, I could have come along then. Dang it. Had my dad's car today too.

Very nice!

Ignore this.

Today is Swedish cars

Ferrari Article

I'll definitely be in the cinema to watch that with my box of tissues 😍

London is a great place to live if you have 2 of the following 3: lots of money to be able to afford to live in zone 1/2, don't drive and don't have kids.

I've always lived on the outskirts or just outside London. Cleaner air, less crime and still easy to commute to anywhere. 5 mins drive to the train station and then it's a 20mins train to London Bridge or 25mins to London Victoria. I can also drive to the M25 in 5mins or Brighton in 35mins.

So I've just watched this. Enjoyed it. Not great though. Most interesting bit was learning about how they made the game. When it comes out on Sky Cinema, I won't rush to watch it again but I'll watch it again if I'm bored.

I once flashed a police car and got done for indecent exposure 🤷🏽‍♂️

Well if they're car guys hopefully they would check or maybe have read about it beforehand.

Is it because that prat mayor wants to charge everybody for entering London. 

He has scared everybody off 

Somehow I don't think that matters as all 350z and 370z cars are ulez compliant.
