      Nope, only do Briskoda ;)

  2. Insurance recommendations please... Now I'm 25 I'm looking for a policy that cover the classics in one hit. I know of Adrian Flux, who else is worth asking? Will any include my 97 Felicia as a classic?

      Footman James came back quite competitively. I then lost the will to live phoning round various other firms!

  3. Today I have been driving a Vauxhall Meriva. I'm a little ashamed to say I really quite liked it; particularly the electric handbrake!

      Issues with electric handbrake caused my neighbour's car to roll downhill into mine, causing

      Don't get me started on electronic handbrakes!

      Hate electric handbrakes. Even changing pads and disks is a nightmare with it. An extra complication and one you'd have to go to a dealer or a very good indy to sort

      Briskers welcomed; but a generic car meet is the nature.

      probably Aberystwyth Rhyss

  5. I'm polishing the Rapid and sadly the paint isn't what it used to be. Whats the best way of restoring the paint? Its got lots of little "bits" in it and doesn't have the smooth finish it once had...

      A clay bar will remove all those little bits and make the paint smooth ready for polishing. Should be able to get a decent kit from a reputable manufacturer like Maguires at Halfords or any decent car accessory shop.

      i purchased the maguires kit from amazon for a tenner,worth every penny

      I got a clay kit and it came up a treat. Only problem is it highlighted all the imperfections more!

  6. The thing I miss most about Christmas is definitely the Christmas songs!

      Yeah. Wish we could rewind back to beginning of Dec. Love xmas me.

      They said there'd be snow at Christmas. They said there'd be peace on earth. Instead it just kept on raining...

  7. Wine peeps, if a box of wine has been opened how long does it keep?

    1. Robjon

      Robjon

      At least 4 weeks, typically 6 to 8 weeks. My boxed wines only seem to last a few days....

    2. KenONeill

      KenONeill

      Wine boxes are borderline undrinkable whilst still in the shop, never mind after you open them!

    3. skodanorman

      skodanorman

      I got rid of them anyways.

  8. I checked again, smartphones really don't bounce!

    1. Coops

      Coops

      My old Blackberry used to bounce, not so my Lumia !!

    2. kilted

      kilted

      Nothing bounces quite as successfully as the old Nokia 3310! Amazing the abuse that took and worked on

    3. skodanorman

      skodanorman

      3310s were awesome. If only new phones could be so durable!

  9. Downside of living in West Wales: bought some pyjamas in ASDA today. Got them home only to discover I have bought XL. Now face a 140 mile round trip to return them. D'oh!

      Home delivery?

  10. It amazes me that you can call a business and they actively discourage you from making a purchase. In this case it was because they close early on a Friday...

    1. BossFox

      BossFox

      It never ceases to amaze me how unprofessional some companies are when answering the phone with just "hi" or some such... then when you ask if that's the right company you get a "yeah". WTF!

    2. grr666

      grr666

      Is Jorily back then??? LOL

  11. Really need to stop spraying in the garage with the door closed...

  13. Crossing Germany with blatant disregard for fuel economy

      Sounds like the best way. ;)

      @Lee

      that'll be me on saturday on the A7 :)

  14. So I have lost my phone. Which means I've lost all my contacts, all my notes, all my diary entries and all of the photos from our honeymoon. Not impressed.

    1. Titanium_Man

      Titanium_Man

      Oh that really sucks. No back-up?

    2. BossFox

      Sad times, hope you find it.

  15. This needs to happen! Get promoting it and bring the concert to Aber in 2016!

      Your status updates don't make it obvious to what you are referring... bugged me for a while :)

      DanHarper

      (Ok this one has slightly more information in that we know its a concert of some sort...)

  16. Slowly coming to terms with how amazing this weekend has been. It has been utterly perfect. Thank you to everyone who made it possible!!

    1. @Lee

      @Lee

      Many congratulations to you and Sophie, Rob :)

    2. @Lee

      @Lee

  19. Colin McRae, the legend.

    1. grr666

      grr666

      Wasn't much of a pilot though eh? His showing off killed 2 kids and his mate. What a legend!!

    2. skodanorman

      skodanorman

      If in doubt; flat out.

      He inspired a generation - myself included. They didn't have to get into the helicopter if they had doubts about his piloting abilities.

  20. The fact I'm out in the garage in the rain right now can mean only one thing... MOT day!

    1. @Lee

      @Lee

      are the results back in yet?

  21. Sump plugs; is there anything specific about them or can I use a normal bolt with the same dimensions?

    1. @Lee

      @Lee

      Norm, they're less than two quid, I know Skoda owners are tight but come on fella! :D
