With the sunset of free fuel money from shell on the loyalty scheme, it’s only the smugness I derive from the V(I)Power that is attractive. If I were to start smashing loads of clubcard points on by switching to Momentum, I’d be much better off. And I’m only fuelling 4 cylinders. (Long term average is over 30mpg even with the occasional spirited sessions).

Everything, more or less, should be ok now (mark it read feature notwithstanding). However, do feel free to continue to report any unusual forum behaviour here.

The mark site as read issue seems to be a feature.

Please post up any issues/errors you are seeing, ideally with a link to the page. If you're having extensive issues, please navigate to the foot of your page, click the Theme dropdown and set it to default.

Hi Everybody We’re experiencing some minor technical difficulties due to some upgrades in progress. Please bear with us during this period and feel free to report any issues in this thread. Thanks for your patience.

These are soooo much nicer than the 350 OEM ones

Once you clean up that tan, it’ll look great in blue alcantara

With our setup, ultimately, there’s only two choices; choose to move capital from poor to rich, or, to move capital from rich to poor. The first one only leaves a voter with one voting choice, so it’s a simple ‘choice’. The second one has more options on the face of it, but in reality all there is to choose between is either the party whose policies you prefer, or a tactical vote. A tactical vote option will vary depending on the strength of the seat incumbent and the second place party in the constituency. Occasionally this voter’s preference will also be tactically powerful, and you’ll be in the luxurious position of voting for what you believe in and making a difference to the outcome, but this is only a tiny fraction of the electorate. If the last few years have shown us anything, the two party system can’t seem to get much done, unless the governing majority is of such a size that it can tolerate a few of its own MPs who will vote against party lines. People ridicule PR because it never leads to a clear majority, but it does have the advantage of different parties having to actually cooperate on things to get anything done. The horse trading that comes with that is abhorrent to some, but it does at least present the opportunity for collaboration, and it means everyone’s vote counts for something.

That last bit sums it up nicely Col, this is a group that have literally never done a thing to improve the existence of working class people and are now dressing themselves up nicely as the 'friend of the little man' because it suits a careerist agenda. The fact the Mong has shifted his income source out of harm's way and isn't even ashamed by it, tells you the utter contempt with which he holds these people. Big Nige's super march would be hilarious if it wasn't so tragic. People suckered in, then ditched as soon as the cameras go off, paying for the privilege of it all and then having to do all the work - remind you of anything?

You need the seats out for a proper interior hoover anyway. Congratz mate, gorgeous looking motor, great colour too.

Don’t forget to post up some pics!

I was on the point 2 tip for a while, but then I considered that the major demographic who want out at any cost (the perplexing “things were great in the olden days, but obviously not so great that they didn’t change” position) will either never work again, or are very close to retirement and, better yet, have already reaped all the economic benefit. The worst that’ll happen is that their pension pots might take a dent and some food and energy price rises. Fortunately for them, pensioners are the single biggest recipients of benefits, and they vote in large numbers, so any negatives they feel will be quickly pandered to. Regarding point 1, I too think the “rules” need to be respected, the only part of that I find there to any wiggle room in that argument, is that there was demonstrable lies told in the campaign, that were extremely popular. Once the rules were broken then, any subsequent position of trying to defend it as a process with integrity, is almost catastrophically demolished. Once you start using your hands to play football, there’s little point in getting upset about the offside laws.

In consultation with the whole Team, some posts have been hidden. Not because they breach the rules, but simply because some members were unhappy about them and we try accommodate various levels of sensitivity where we can, whilst still allowing for some warm discourse. Please don’t confuse a simple concession to anyone who is more easily upset, with a disciplinary measure against the poster(s). When there are breaches of the rules, they won’t be dealt with in the public space and the offending member will be aware of them because we’ll have a private dialogue. Then, once the team have had a chat, actions are taken and it’s usually resolved amicably. Many people have had warnings in the past and we’ve all gotten over it. P.S. I wouldn’t usually explain the views of the team in public, but given that this appears to be one of the more divisive topics and the clear and obvious attempts by the lizard people to subvert Brexit, The Team have views on Brexit on both sides of the divide, we’re not part of the secret cabal. In a wider point, many other web forums have explicit rules forbidding the discussion of politics or religion or contentious issues, personally I think this detracts somewhat from the community and having all manner of views (on things other than Brexit) actually makes this a more engaging place to be.

So far as I can recall, no one got particularly upset in the past when another member posted a car meme or a link to a YouTube drift video or an article about a car launch, with little or no additional content surrounding it. Objections to this style of posting (which I do personally find irritating) might have a touch more credibility now, if they had complained about them PRIOR to complaining about ones where they disagree with the content.

@ATTAK Z drew them up for me, only cost £5k and he said it’s some of his best work

At 100mph I hope it won’t be one of the concrete sectional ones where your teeth rattle every 100 yards

Fear not. I’ll do a build thread when it’s priced up and my internal house upgrades are done. As a teaser, here’s the detailed architect’s drawings.

I know you’ve all been desperate for closure on this, so here’s the latest. The rubbish up up against my house has been moved, in part, there’s still plenty there but there is at least now an air gap between it and the wall. Naturally I’m using UN Inspectors and Peacekeepers to monitor the situation. My garage planning permission has been granted, on the condition that I abandon my garage roof terrace dream. This is a victory of sorts and I’ll be pleased to have a larger workspace, albeit without the BBQ area of my dreams. I’ll be erecting the maximum legally permissible height boundaries (2m) in response to the unprovoked attack on my lifestyle by old people with nothing better to do. In the current climate of all or nothing, black or white, absolutism, it feels like a reasonable compromise and hopeful we can agree a meaningful de-escalation along the borders. A soft Garexit, if you will.

Approved, but you may wish to remove your email from the ad before the Russian bots grab it.

It’s all well and good not bothering to define things for the angry mob, their only due process is to find the furl for flaming torches and already supply of pitchforks. Once you start having legal ramifications, you can’t just screech and point. Once Brexit happens and all the ECJ is finished and we just go back having common sense laws, at least we’ll be able to deport her back to errr... ...the U.K?

I’m just soooooo tired of paying for the world’s biggest council house.
