    Wind deflectors

    My Giulietta came with them on. I didn't really notice when I bought the car. The first thing I did was remove them. I'm not entirely sure what the purpose of them is. I do tend to see them on cars which look like they've crashed into Halfords.

    Parking Eye-A good news story.

    The same happened to me a couple of years ago. They initially sent a letter demanding payment and I simply sent them an email then with a copy of the parking ticket receipt. The receipt showed I had entered the registration number incorrectly (transposed the first two letters) and they waived...

    Chances of a big lotto win reduced further

    5 posts for the obligatory "stupid person tax" comment? GD, you're losing your edge.

    PlayStation History Infographic

    I remember seeing this before. Very interesting. I particularly liked the progression of the logo design. I always love looking at stuff like that.

    Farrow and Ball paint

    We have F&B in our kitchen and we really like it. It's hard wearing and the colour is great. I've used other paints (Volspar, Dulux etc) and it does seem much better in my experience. It took a couple of coats to give a good even finish. To be fair it's what, £75 for a 5L tin? It's not THAT...

    Buckled BMW wheels!

    I've never known anything like it with BMW. The MV1s on my E46 buckled. And the E9X wheels are no better. My current MV3s have a crack in one wheel. Style 225 and 313s are also renowned for cracking.

    radiator power flushing

    The ones at the front of the house are curved in order to follow the contour of the bay windows so they are quite expensive. You can't just pop down to screws fix and pick one up for £30 unfortunately.

    radiator power flushing

    Our radiators are the same. I'v taken to removing them one by one and flushing them out with a hosepipe in the garden. It's amazing how much black stuff comes out of them. It only takes about an hour for each one including draining. They seem to distribute heat more equally now.

    Dad's car stolen last night, venting - update - insurer paying out

    It's quite common for these to be stolen isn't it? Aren't they stripped for parts? My step dad had his old Defender stolen about ten years ago. It was never recovered unfortunately.

    Considering an LG g6 upgrade from p9

    I had the G6 from launch until I got the P20 Pro on release. The lack of updates for the G6 really put me off the phone in the end (it was still on Nougat when I sold it on). That coupled with the terrible battery life by the time the phone was a year old. I'd stay away from the G6. Personally...

    ** Acme [Akagi] bought a pink estate car - E30 325i project log! **

    Red E92 on anthracite Rotis. Next to an orange E46 M3 on the stand opposite. I'll say 'hello' next year if I see you about. :)

    ** Acme [Akagi] bought a pink estate car - E30 325i project log! **

    I saw you at Santa Pod this weekend. You were on the stand opposite. Nice skull and crossbones flag! I was going to come and say hello but it would probably have been a bit weird.

    Repair my old bike or buy a new one?

    Thanks for the reply :) Generally it's in good condition. I think it has a minor ding in it. I'd be surprised if it's been ridden for more than 100 miles over the last 16 years. It's been mostly kept indoors (I think maybe 6 months outside in my first year at uni). It's really not going to be...

    Repair my old bike or buy a new one?

    Like a lot of people, my employer do the Cycle2Work scheme and I've been thinking about getting a new bike for a while. When not used for getting to work it would be used for family bike rides really, nothing too serious. I've already got a bike in the garage which I haven't used for ages. It...

    What Retro Games Are You Currently Playing?

    It's definitely aged. Some of the camera work is a bit frustrating. As are some of the controls. And the bits where you just fall through the world for no real reason. Graphically though, I think it holds up and there are some interesting levels like the pinball levels. I also really like a lot...

    What Retro Games Are You Currently Playing?

    After listening to the latest Retronauts Podcast I got the itch to play Sonic Adventure again (I've not touched my Dreamcast for ages).

    Recommend a ip camera please. Baby monitor

    I bought one of these as well, although not as a baby monitor. I'm really impressed with it for the price. PTZ if you need it. It would work very well as a baby monitor. Be aware that when stood upright the camera won't tilt downwards past the horizontal. It looks as though it should ideally...

    Other half lost a fight with a bolllard, whats the damage?

    I had similar work done on my car a few weeks ago, although the rear bumper and sill were also scuffed. The cost was £720.
