wrong thread 🤣

wrong thread...

that Allroad you saw being dropped into the grass isnt surprising, old A4s and and passats dragging their sills around the road are common here too. i reckon the roaring exhaust noise is actually the car screaming from the pain of dragging their undertrays along the road, and the diesel soot is it metaphorically coughing up blood. jettas are also common place, i saw one the other day dropped so low and wheels so big the owner had cut notches out of the wheel arches to stop the tyres rubbing... i dont mind cars being modded, but christ do it tastefully and make it worthwhile. its almost a shame though that these cars are now within the budget of young lads with no taste and wanting to look cool with a filthy agri spec saloon...

thats because Russia lied about what it is - claiming hyper sonic cruise missile when its just ballistic thus easy to track and predict. like so much of Russias claims... SU57 is about as stealthy as a C130 (exaggeration for effect) but they bill it as more capable than an F22. and they only have like 10 of them so thell never see an actual mission. Lasers are have too many uncontrolable factors that reduce their effectiveness at the ranges air combat take place. But I agree drones and the AI wingman drones being developed alongside the NGAD programme are going to be massive capability shifts.

went up the woods this afternoon, boys in jumpers, missus mac with her lagging jacket coat, me in a t shirt.. but yesterday felt like minus 5 but allegedly 12deg... got hail on monday and Wednesday!

no, its the cover on the pdel can slide up and get stuck under the bottom of the footwell trim panel. it also cant drive on sand or gravel, or any offroad stuff, the locking diffs menu says "coming soon with software update" someone else washed down theirs after exposing it to sand as required to stop the unlacquered steel rusting and their entire dash display stopped working. the tail gate will happily cut your fingers off if in the opening when closing as it has no obstruction sensor. someone else's arrived with scratched body panels and with damage to the dash panel, so tesla took it in for a few days to replace it and fix the scratches. couldnt fix the scratches as the tesla equipment wasnt capable of sorting them out. the new dash is dented and rattles and theres new damage done to other parts from where they tried to replace said dash. that yoke is actually worse than a Delorian

well im gonna get myself checked in at the hotel (aka Hospital) and see what they have on draught (IV line)... do an over night and then cry for 2 hrs as i drive home without the use of my arms, legs or lungs

i think ive gone insane... and feel i gave in to some peer pressure that i created in my own head ... what is the hyrox you ask? just some self inflicted torture and suffering https://hyrox.com/the-fitness-race/

(its Wednesday....)

apparently Leslie Nielson had almost no sense of humour, which was why he was able to stay so straight and serious filming all of those types of pun and satire based films. he just didnt get the humour, but that makes them so much better as it makes everything seem almost normal

@cheezemonkhai i think this could do with a relocation to the Roadside hotel? feels like it would be better suited there. as to whats different? okay... Ukraine has been invaded by a nuclear power with a do trine thats states they may use nuclear force if attacked on home soil by any nation, but in particular NATO. thus, a proxy war is a safer - who knows what Putin could do if he really did feel threatened- and cheaper option for "The West" to break the Russian military strength. thus the UK/US et al wont take any direct actions against Russia. The UK/US effectively created the state of Israel and keep the region on a knife edge of instability because its good for business. therefore they will defend Israel to the end. especially against Iran because of the revolution there back in the 70s that kicked them out and removed the US influence on their policies. so, as a result strikes on Iranian targets are fine, because its only iran - nuclear ambitions but guaranteed the US/UK know exactly what they have and what they can do, so the risk is much lower. and when its in defence of Israel, of course they will take whatever action they need to in order to protect their special little project..

Hi, Im not even in the same country, but Im quite sure if you do a little search in here you dont need vagcom or vcds to programme a new key for the mk1, if you have 1 good key already. from memory, put the good key in and the ignition on, open the drivers window. put the new key in the outside of the drivers door and lock/ unlock the doors. i think you have to hold it in position for a length of of time that i cant remember, and might be another step, but its easy enough to do.

and a golden oldie

yup. if its intermittent though, get the wheels off and check the connectors of the wear sensors.

chicken goujons and various veg here tonight.

i made an entire post a couple of pages back comparing the good and bad of both Biden and Trump. the way you reply to peoples' posts always in the same way claiming they are "elusive" is fairly boring now to be honest as well as the use of "Orange man bad". your counter argument doesnt provide any reasoning beyond "Orange man not bad". on your other posts, I have always been on the side of science and real data. Im an engineer, i do it for a living. i may not always post the supporting evidence of my position, but its always based on verified facts. when does the science stop? it doesnt. new evidence is peer reviewed and verified. and then other research is carried out. if said research uncovers a flaw or previously unknown factor and that peer review verifies this, then that becomes part if the new knowledge base and mistakes are admitted. we know alot more now compared to 100yrs ago, and many previous beliefs and understandings have been over ruled in 100s of cases..

in the scientific method, when all evidence from several sources points in the same direction and conclusion that is accepted as being the correct answer - consensus. So, when there is literally boxes of evidence of wrongdoing by person A, accused of said wrong doing, it is somewhat consensual that wrongdoing occurred. when person B is accused of wrongdoing but no evidence can be provided to support the claim then there cant be consensus that person B did as accused. similarly, when the vast majority of people agree that an individual should be allowed to live their best life in whatever form makes them happy without fear of prejudice then that too is consensus, and those that try to force their own beliefs on others ( sometimes through physical force...) are, for want of better phraseology, wrong. Where this wonderful line of "tolerance" hits a brick wall is when it lands in the inevitable Catch-22 position where - if everyone is allowed to do as they please, then those who wish to be racist (as an example) should also be tolerated, but racism is intolerant therefore should not be allowed, but that becomes intolerant.... I'm not sure what wannabees youre talking about? wannabee whats? I am not preventing you from sharing an opinion, nor am I attempting character smears or ad hominum attacks on you. I simply highlight when i see content being posted which is clearly designed to try and either cause an argument or illicit a response which can be used as evidence to support the theory which you yourself have detailed previously in other threads and when the theory is put together in a way that makes any effort at disproving it appear to naturally prove the theory ,it makes it hard to navigate. Credit where its due, its quite a cleverly setup honeytrap, but it does make difficult to trust what you post here as being anything other than further attempts at disruption. Pointing out when someone is acting in a way that appears to be baiting others into starting an argument doesnt constitute a personal attack either. its simply raising awareness of a situation that is developing so the participants can chose a different route and avoid the inevitable battle, especially wgen that is what 1 party is looking for. what might a dog lay that may be somewhat egg shaped? Im quite happy with my posts, thanks, as they are my opinion based on the information I have read/watched from multiple reliable sources and pieced together into my views.

for lady E.... add it to the cruet collection..

age isnt much of an issue with the mogs. the ones our lads have are fairly old too, but a good overhaul and they'll put out savage torque and power

George, dont bother. He isnt a right leaning / trump believer. he simply goes around repeating the bs that gets put out by trump and his followers to stir the pot and be antagonistic just for the sake of it so he can try prove his own point anout how "the left" will close down any argument made from the other side. "Entryism" i believe he called it back when he was a new member, and had a big post about how it works. crock of dog eggs, but he's still at the same thing, trying to cause arguments where there is agreement.

2 of our plant hire contractors have them fitted for rail mounting and with one pulling and one pushing for brakes can haul over 500 Tonnes of ballast across 8 tipping rail trailers. unimogs are brilliant.

Any photos @skomaz? is it a fairly new one, or reckon its older stock? 110bhp from 1litre even with a turbo (our arona is 115 allegedly) just feels like its not enough displacement to not be running engine more strained than it needs to be. but thats just my opinion. at least the ibiza is lighter!

whatever about the discussion following the post with the video... that clown could see from plenty far away the engine indicating and turning the corner long before he was at the junction. he created that situation for online clout and point scoring. he, in this situation, is 100% the dingleberry. besides the point that im sure the "cyclists have priority" has a blue light services exception writen into the rule? "sorry your house burned down and your nan passed away, we got held up at a junction by a load of cyclist who had right of way over us" wouldnt really be acceptable to anyone would it?
