    They have picked probably the worst weekend to relaunch top gear. No body is going to be in watching TV with the weather like this on a bank holiday.

     

    Well I might be watching but not sure I will remember with the amount of cider I have sunk already lol

    I have used a similiar product to this

    You will need to dig out and level the ground, lay out sand and compact and then add a membrane ontop to stop weeds, and then fill with gravel. if you wanted to do a full job some hardcore at the bottom would guarantee no rutting.

     

    having a good base to start with makes all the difference.

     

    Have you used the roll of mesh or the grid type stuff?

    Reinforcing Grass driveway

    With my new car on its way I need to get my drive sorted. It's part Tarmac part grass. The Tarmac has the daily and my van on it so the grass area will be where the new car goes.

     

    Last year we just drove the car on the grass and now it's rutted and ruined.

    Been looking on how to reinforce it for the cheapest and easiest way possible (I know this may not produce the best results)

    Looked at the mesh that you lay on top of the grass. The grass grows through and around it and this should prevent rutting right?

    Anyone used anything similiar?

    The car that will be parked there will be used twice a week max

     

    Cheers

    I was listening to a podcast the other day about ASMR. Mouth noises creeped me out!

     

    Hope everything work out for you dude.

     

    I have been suffering in silence for the last few years and at the moment I want to keep it that way. I'm just not ready to face up to facts.

     

    You have made the biggest step by admitting to yourself there is something not quite right.

    Now this... this is cool...

    When this becomes real then I'm sold. Love the mix of AR and VR. I think HTC vibe will be the one who can get this the quickest as they have a front facing camera.

     

    I'm still pi**ed that I may need to buy a new PS4 to have VR now. I know it's gonna work on the PS4 but won't be as good.

    Cheap (read dodgy) fixes

    Not so much a fix but when me and my mates had our first cars, car audio was very expensive, the only thing we had was ghettoblasters with detachable speakers, so ghettoblaster in the boot (they were big), wires round the pillars and house speakers on the rear shelf :)

     

    Haha I'm my 03 Clio I wired house speakers into the rear speakers as I couldn't afford a sub and amp lol.

     

    I'm my 1st car F reg fiesta popular plus 1.0 the radio didn't work so I had a boom box in the passenger footwell. Had to keep a load of C size batteries in the boot for when it died.

     

    Also in my mk 4 escort the wipers kept blowing the fuse when it rained so I had to hang out the window and wipe it with one of those hand held wiper things with the sponge on it.

    Sold the car as it did my head in after a while and found out it was just a cable break haha. This was in my lazy days and just ignored any problems hoping they would go away
