Re: What headlight bulbs?

So I've noticed my headlight bulbs are not as good as they were before, so I'm now thinking about upgrading them to something a bit brighter, since they're so crap. Just wondering what you advanced folks use on your cars, and how much they are. Mine are the standard bulbs that came with the car alm...

Re: 'Advanced' - a solicitor writes

What doesn't make any sense? I'm usually very suspicious of people who use Latin. I was simply pointing out that even its direct translation is meaningless nonsense. Well, the direct translation is inaccurate so that probably doesn't help. Try reading up on "argument from authority" or &q...

Above edited to remove unnecessary pretentiousness. :D

P.S. It still doesn't make any sense.

Re: Flat bottomed steering wheels - why??

Interesting: i did consider going 'upmarket' by buying an S-line car this time round rather than the 'Sport' - until I did some research and found that the main difference (cosmetics aside) is a more uncomfortable ride! I'll stick with the Sport, I think! I made the same decision when I bought an A...

Re: Reg Local at Bristol IAM, 30 September 2017

I'm afraid my respect for Mr. Local has gone from somewhere approaching 100% to less than 10% because of this. Has your respect for Mr Local fallen because he just meekly and obediently fitted to his car, without protest, the plates presented to him by Mrs Local on his birthday? If I walk up the ro...

Huge difference between bikes with tiny plates which are unreadable from a distance (and from anpr cameras) vs a bit of creative spacing which is still perfectly readable from the same distance as a regulation plate too... I'm of the opinion that spending good money on something that has no effect ...
