@Highlander
Looking good.
I'm going to have to do Orla tomorrow, it's been two months and she's starting to look dirty.

@Svend
We only get diesel...apart from the new Raptor. Our fleet units are diesel...just the old 3.2 litre TDI versions rather than the newer 2.0 litre single or twin turbos.

Oh and no manual gearbox. Exclusively auto.

@facw
Interior? As I've recommended before to other OPPOs, Gtechniq I2ab Tri-clean.
All interior surface cleaner and anti bacterial.

@Jan__Bosik
Bottom section is radio controls.
Top section with mini stalk is front and rear wipers, speed, spray, etc...
The tip of the stalk is for the 'on-board' computer.
Radio from another Clio of the same age.

@Svend America needs more doner shops.

@Nicky-Chagrin-Janitor-of-SHIELD
Well I'm down a pint of Guinness and a large scotch so far.
Have an okay bottle of white wine chilling in the fridge which I may open next.

@Svend crispy edges on eggs are the best

@Svend said in Is this right, big beer, small pizza?:

.5litres of Old Speckled Hen

Don't you have to drive an MG to drink Old Speckled Hen?

@davesaddiction
Nice one. Winning or losing doesn't matter, it's the learning, having fun and so many other things like social skills, being part of a team, etc...
Keep up the good work mate.

@Svend Oh these are going to make an appearance at the dinner table tonight for sure. Good night!

@Svend

Dang. Now I'm starving.

@WBizarre
In some regions like Asia, saloon cars are a show of wealth.
We used to get some small saloons in Europe (not the UK), but they went to the wall, there are still a thing in South America and Asia.

Renault Clio saloon

The big saloon cars are still about, mostly with the more prestige marques.

Interesting fact on the BMW 5GT. For each car they make, they pay a licence fee to Skoda for that tailgate.

@SamV8
I seem to get that a lot with white cars any way.

@pyroholtz It's all over the place -- we went a solid 3 or 4 weeks without a drop until a few days ago. Humidity got down to the unheard-of 30% range 🙂

It was actually really nice, but I had to start using chapstick and hand lotion on non-winter days. Also unheard of!

@ToniCipriani
I asked Rob if there is any known issue with stocking of Gtechniq at eShine and whilst he doesn't know if it's in his control, he has followed it up with another stockist you may be interested in
https://carzilla.ca/pages/search-results-page?collection=brand-gtechniq
They also stock a very impressive range of other brands.

@Manwich
Cheers bud. Can't keep away from car cleaning. Doh.

@Someoneatacura eh, it's a good place. We'd like you around. Svend's back. Sovande might be back? A large handful of older members have recently found us in the past month. Etc.

@Bylan-Hoarder-of-LS400-s
Ye', it's the outside edges. A lot more depth further in but that's not the point.

@Dr-Zoidberg
The camera isn't picking it up, but it's a fine flake metallic silver.
If I recall the options were metallic dark grey/gunmetal, metallic silver and gloss black.

@atfsgeoff
No worries. Looking back, maybe quick folding the dirty shirt in the rear foot well and gluing the end of the tissue box back down was a tad OTT. Lol.

@svend said in Svended the cars today:

@Rusty-Vandura
Well it looks like I may not be washing anything for a while if the 'hosepipe ban' comes in. It's in effect way down south but it'll work it's way up the country.

I park mine on the front lawn if I'm using a hose to wash it, a lawn that is brown and dead.

@facw
If they aren't responding to other things then yes.
But that's the thing with criminals, they tend to neglect road tax (vehicle excise duty), MOT's and/or insurance, so police will pull the car and in many cases catch them for or doing something else such as transporting drugs, stolen cars, etc...

@BritsnSwedes-was-MINIGTI
I think Kaley's kids are one and a half and three years old. They don't let the kids eat or drink in the car unless they have too but ye', as the two lil'ones get older they will be doing more active and messy stuff.
The worst of the four Tiguans was the 2010 R-Line. The previous owner lived just out the city, never bought mats for the car (I did later on) and wasn't too filthy, just didn't really care about it.

The new owner loves her baby Tiggy.

Lol. It's not my first.

Ye', the 2 Series Gran Tourer is what I call a five plus two.

Thanks.
Honestly, there are a couple or so cars lately, even I'm not sure they are the same car.

@pyroholtz
Oh, it's terrible.
The females can be bad, but the males. Combine poor time keeping with impatience, it's infuriating. Lol.
Me, I was brought up that, 'if you're on time, you're already late', and actually physically feel sick at the thought of being late for something.
We probably make a bad mix.
Yet me and their family have been like family for a good 12+ years now.

@farscythe
Who doesn't, it's great.
Lol.

@dogisbadob
Sadly these little tikes are gone.

@Nauraushaun
Ours are insulated so anything higher, the house becomes a sweat box upstairs.

@svend I've found the Turtlewax brand trim restorer is about 1,000,0000 times more effective than any other stuff commonly found in stores. I put some on a microfiber and usually carefully spread it around the window trim since that stuff takes such a heavy hit from the sun.

/screw the haters, Dave is awesome

@siennaman
Just just up equal amounts of swede and carrots into small cubes, boil until softened and mash a bit then stir through with some butter.
Swede and turnip get a bad rap for being animal feed in some countries, but it goes really well with a nice Sunday dinner.

@svend I think I'd be perfectly happy with one as a DD. Wouldn't be able to carry large things in it though, but I'd be fine with that tradeoff! 😛

@beefchips
There are that many different visas now, work, ancestry, education, graduate, etc..
See what fits.

@pip-bip 2WD always makes me wonder what's the point, but I guess most will never even see a gravel road anyway.

@415s30
Thanks.

@beefchips said in I'm off to bed, good night:

H3L4 that’s twelve freedom units

H3l4 is
Height 6.7metres, 22',
Length 2.78metres, 9.12'
Width 2.06metres without mirrors (2.47metres with mirrors)

@zipfuel
That's what I was going for. Lol.
I loved the two Ronnies, while much of their stuff is specific to that era, there is just as much that is timeless.

@beefchips
Ye', it depends what you're into or fancy.
Carbs are more readily available fast food, snack stuff.
But finding more balanced foods isn't hard.

@svend GIB!

@FourMalibus
We've four 'five' cars, Fiesta, Focus, Mondeo, Mustang and GT. It's hard knowing where to put the Ecosport, Mustang Mach-e, Puma and Kuga (Escape), for MPVs, we have the Galaxy, S-Max, Transit Connect Tourneo and Transit Custom Tourneo (not sure we still do the Transit Courier Tourneo (below a Transit Connect, above a Fiesta van)).
(Looks like we still have the Transit Courier, but as a Tourneo.

Ye', we simply don't tax 'winnings' or have vehicle registration tax.

@svend that blue chrome looks pretty close

@SamV8
Really? That's one of only a couple or so I know how to type on my phone.
I don't like the world, we evolved away from hieroglyphics to actual words, now we're going backwards. 😞

@svend

Very sorry to hear that… sad stuff.

@ike808
I'm saving my ice'd cocktails for tomorrow.
I've got one, Woowoo and two, On The Beach.
Stick them in the freezer over night, then you have ice cold alcoholic slushies. Yay.

Ye', it's the opposite here.
But then that's how the northern and southern hemispheres work. Lol.

@svend said in Roast chicken dinner. Om nom nom:

@Chariotoflove
I just wish we had taste-vision.

Risky clicks on reddit would get a lot more interesting with this!

@e90m3
It's a lovely colour when clean in the sun, otherwise, in low light and lightly dirty, it can look flat and miserable.

@svend
Yes, Monday. Pizza for breakfast is starting out the week right.

@facw
The only interior thing I did was the glass.
He was going to drop the car off at 4:30am before going away with his uncle but there was no parking. So was going to drop it off at 4:30-5pm when he got back but it was after 6:15pm when I got the car so the interior hadn't been messed up but rear interior glass had been leant up against.
Ye', I most often swap out the generic washer cap with the Skoda one.
I could of spent more time doing the engine bay to be honest. But he was happy how it turned out anyway.
Ye', I could of easily spent another few hours going over the interior seat stains again.
EDIT 2: they came back early to put a load of drinks in the boot, no, not alcohol. But three cases of orange Tango, then a case each of Berry Peach, Blackcurrant and an Apple Tango, one case of diet Coke and two of regular Coke and one of Redbull. Seems fizzy drinks are a bit more expensive in Germany, even with our 'sugar tax' of high sugar fizzy drinks.

@Albino-Kangaroo
It's the walmart way (though we are in limbo as the company has been bought from walmart), if there's an easy way and a hard way, they'll actively look for a much harder way.

@svend DS!

@Jb-boin
Ye', single DIN with Car Play, he's using an adaptor to convert the Car Play into an FM frequency but it sounds awful.
Thanks for the info.
It's all alien to me as I'd just go somewhere and say, 'I want such and such, what can you do!?'.
