Just superglue it, that’s all they’d do innA& E. just get the bits out of it first.

No experience with Hyundai I’m afraid. My Karcher was not pressuring a while back, the motor was running but whereas if you don’t pull the trigger it should turn off once it gets up to pressure the motor just kept running. There was a defect in the cylinder head which let water leak out of the high pressure side. The new cylinder head was about £40. Pretty easy to change too. the original CH was shit plastic, the new one is aluminium.

What make is it Clive? Does it run ok, switch off/on duty just shit pressure?

I read in the news that 21 million people watched the second part in the first few days it was out. One of them was me, what a bloody waste of 2 hrs of my life. It was shit.

I feel your pain there. In a fit of enthusiasm 12 years or so ago I built a deck, couldn't afford hardwood for the under the deck bit, now I have to pull a third of it up every 2-3 years to replace the bits that have gone rotten. Pain in the arse.

It is a lovely colour. Was out on mine today and came the closest ive ever been to coming off it. I ended up on a minor road which has so much crap on it that it was just two narrow ribbons of tarmac with gravel either side and down the middle, caught the gravel and almost came off. Was only doing 10-15mph.

No, a kit car built by a GP in his garage. I had to resolve a load of idiosyncrasies on it when I bought it from him 12 years ago. Still not fixed, I looked at it, got head down in the footwell to work out how to get the dash off, decided my back hurt then went out on my Indian instead. Maybe next w/end …

Had that before. My mums car was in the garage for years as she hunt been able to drive for a long time. We decided to try to get it going and on pulling things apart found the air filter compartment full of something a squirrel or mice had spent ages stashing there.

I have had an electrical fault on my car for months, actually it’s probably a couple of years now, the rev counter only works intermittently. To get it to work correctly I need to turn some lights on, any lights, doesn’t matter which, switch them on and it starts working. It even goes on/off in time with the indicators. I keep meaning to get to it to trace the issue but can’t be arsed to pull the dash off. Today might be the day

Ohh, a crossbow, that looks fun

I got finished with work and it was sunny outside so thought id go out for a random ride. When I went outside it was freezing so changed my mind. Within 20 mins it was pissing down ...

Mine is more moss than grass. I raked it all out a couple of years ago, then bribed my son to do it again last year and it’s back to how it started again so I can’t be arsed any more. Someone suggested getting a lawn aerator but a) they are expensive as I’d need a motorised one which requires minimum effort, b) I don’t care enough.

Im no fan of Biden either, but at least he is mostly harmless, unlike Trump. US politics is a shit show, there is too much money in it and too many folks trying to get as much as possible of that cash into their own pockets. Im the only one in my household who cannot vote in US elections. Adolf was a brilliant orator, and a total megalomaniac.
-
Have you ever listened to Trump giving a speech? His mouth might be moving but it’s still 2 hrs of random drivel which bears no resemblance to truth or reality. A monkey with a typewriter could literally make more sense…but what the monkey would produce would be like rocket science for those make up his supporter base.

VW used to do the same, they still do except you need to refinance your first born to pay for it now.

It is rather like skiing. It does take a bit of time to learn, a bit like learning to ride a push bike all over again, but well worth once you have the hang of it. I used to put mine under the seat on the train ad get around London with it but like everything, as people want these things cheaper and cheaper and buy anything (electric scooters, skateboards etc) with shit no name chink batteries, then the my e-bike caught fire, these things are dangerous headlines started. So TFL don't allow this kind of thing on the train any more.

EUC race in Spain. These things will do 50+ mph (depending on the type ) and are great fun, tho as with anything that's fun except sex in the UK, they are not legal. I got my first EUC in 2015. Back then you could ride about without the danger of being stopped by the rozzers. Sadly not the case now tho I do use mine around the village where I live as the local boys in blue don't seem to care here thankfully. Also good fun off road. My first one was a 500w motor but the current models have 3-4kw, the more power in the motor the less likely you are to over stretch the laws of physics and come off. Lean forward to go and lean back to stop. Racing like this is ideally suited to those who weigh 50lbs wet through, my 100kg would put me at rather a disadvantage.

Good point, if it got rodgered by a Great Dane that might have rang a few alarm bells.
-
A litter of frenchie's could be worth 10k, why would they want to abort it? Then again if you are asking for vet advice on FB maybe the owner needs medical help.
-
At least when your kids have ridden a bike or even just done the CBT, if they then move to a car they will be a better and more considerate driver for having done so. I think everyone should do a few hours, something like the CBT, as part of car driver training. We’ d all be better for it.

Venison - haunch, fillet, sausages, loin - can’t beat it. Fallow from the eco place next door, shot when there are no eco hippies there and roe from our farm. Yummy.

We all have the same passport at present, if Scotland left the uk I can only imagine that those that lived there would get a new Scots passport. it’s unlikely to happen in my lifetime sadly. Before Brexit my intention was to retire to Finland but can’t do that now. But at least I can buy wine by the pint, so it must have all been worth it.
-
If there was a realistic prospect of Scotland going its own way and rejoining the EU I’d bloody move there tomorrow.

700 miles across Europe with no cones, temp speed limits, roadworks, litter, average speed cameras or middle lane morons. Not even 10 miles from the uk side of the tunnel, miles of contraflow, cones and average speed cameras. And we’ve just passed a fridge dumped by the side of the road. I so missed the UK.

How do you fill in all the gouges in the edge of the rim? I’d love to do mine but it would end up looking like a dogs breakfast knowing my luck…
