"More of the issue of potentially crashing the car"

Just put a wig on to look like a woman, then you don't need the wing mirrors anymore anyway....

Slap a BMW badge on there and take out my indicator bulbs whilst i'm at it too

Might need to get rid of the beard too, other wise i'd be a woman with a serious hygiene problem  

If your profile page DOB is correct, how can it be so bad ?, I have 30 years on your age and getting older is great, just make sure you live for the day and make every second count.  

Yeah it's correct 18 today Just sadden by the fact I'm entering the world of taxes and debt and adult stuff hahaha

Looking forward to the future tho! Hopefully it all goes as planned

Did get an epic cake though! 

Ahhh the smell of filler 'going off' ...That takes me back

I hate May. Hopeless as home sec, sacked a ton of police, security was a balls up and will screw the pensions next but.... If Corbyn gets in we will stay in Europe via back channels and nothing will change. If it weren't for Brexit I'd be UKIP all the way. Until Europe gets lost it's gonna get worse.

@dazp1976 please elaborate how this is Europes fault, and why you hate the EU so much?

They gave you paternity leave, paid holiday, helped establish humans rights for everyone living within the EU, workers rights, consumer rights, also helping tackle environmental issues, consumer safety and the list goes on and on and on...

So we leave, workers rights are put at risk, you could lose paid holiday, human rights etc.... how is that helpful? So we can "take back out country". That's and archaic way of thinking.

And also the part about borders, imagine this: you and your familes home is destroyed by a bomb, you live in fear everyday that you are going to be killed, you have no quality of life, living amongst rubble in a conflict zone where there is no government to protect you.

You travel days and weeks, paying large sums of money with no guarantee you will get anywhere, you arrive and upon arrival someone spits on you and deports you back to where you came from, you lose your wife, your son...

How would you feel?

Like an Englishman..

do you still have the ones you cut down  as they can be saved by removing the covering on the end.

Nope, they were only for a cheapo set anyway. I did have the ends exposed probably a good 20mm or so. I tried to solder up a new longer wire before on one but that didn't really do much either 

you have to uncover the end just the same as the original one

You're never bored with a ford

There be truth in the saying...

Thanks lads

There's a reason why Ford's have a heated rear window. So your hands aren't cold when your pushing it home. 

Either of yous gonna be a Classic Ford this weekend? 

No dude, I used to love car shows. I live in rural Devon so I only really have vintage car shows and wiscombe hill climb to attend

Horrible news

That's the problem no one drives like anyone else. So you get everyone trying to do the same thing their own different way which just ends up causing problems like this.

It was an Asian bloke coming home from work in a 06 plate Zafira that hit my poor Corsa

I clouted someone a few years back on a roundabout.  They we're in the left lane, clearly marked one of two lefts (1st one an entrance to a business park) or straight on only.  I was in the right lane, which was marked straight over or right.  My lane was moving very well, left lane was crawling.  I'm happily taking the exit straight over and saw the car in the left lane turn into me - glancing impact I was doing a fair chat (well within the limit) - he ended up upside down down the culvert off the roundabout, I ended up in the dead ground between the up / down straight on - wedged between two signs - all the maneuvering I could do not to hit them head on.

Plod came, guy said his sat Nav said take the 3rd exit and he never saw the first minor left exit so decided at the last minute to carry on round (no indication not that that would have mattered).  Was asked if I wanted to make a complaint, said no, other driver admitted full culpability to plod and was therefore given a caution only.  Biggest hassle from it was the hire company trying to fob me off with a petrol zafira for my 1 series diesel (got an upgrade to a new off forecourt 320D) and then bodywork place trying to fob me off for damage to drivers side - minor only and caused by the signage I got stuck between.  Other drivers insurance company we're excellent though - bunging me ££ left right and centre to settle with them and not involve the blame / claim parasites.

Had one today. just come out of the city main centre onto the outer ring road. was first at the left turn only at traffic lights , being on a scooter i took my position centre of the road in a defensive manner. all was good. lights change and i rode the corner onto a dual section of road, indicated with fair warning done my lifesave checks and mirror checks and made my way into that lane. all i saw was a silver Merc hauling speed ( limit is 30 i was at 30, he was doing atleast 45+) , he under took me very close so yes i gave him the two finger salute , he then could not decide what lane to take, left only or left - straight on. 

i went into the left straight on due to the road being dual and i needed to be in the right hand lane. made my move and got round the roundabout and corner. stopped at the pedestrian lights on red and it happened, felt this slight push forwards, the merc drive had came right up behind me and tailtapped my rear tyre. i pulled forwards and he intentionaly did the same again. so i sat middle the road for the next mile doing 20mph lol . he drew up beside me at roundabout and i let loose, called him a ****ing muppet how dare he tailtap me how dare he try bully a leaner rider. same time the van driver behind started shouting at him, he had followed the same dude watching him.

Poxy merc drivers if i see that retard again im going to rub my nice dirty toe guard along is nice shiney piece of scrap of a car, teach him a lesson. got home to a bust L-plate 

Nice 

jee whizz, that god for that, i was thinking i may have to drop you some crisps and water off, in case you starved, spent so long thinking about it. can we please have updates on delivery times, food quality, temperture on arival etc.

• Delivery Times: Ordered at 1920. Arrived at 1942. Very impressed
• Food Quality: Among the best I have ever had. Chicken balls were melt in the mouth, duck was cooked to perfection, crispy spring rolls were crispy!
• Temperture On Arrival: Fresh out of the wok! Almost burnt my self on the sweet and sour sauce.

Any more information wanted Sergeant?

Proven and bargains.

Went for the waterproof one. Still £20 free delivery so eh can't complain really

You want your ones from the HN back? I never use them.

If you don't mind that would be great yeah please 

I use the app to upload then go main site to get the links. But last time i used the app the thing downloaded all of my pic's from my phone inc naughty ones. not nude lol im not that dumb. But it annoyed me took ages to delete them. 

I can sign in the web site but still not on the app 

Still stuck in a loop of signing in then I press upload and it directs me to sign in again and again and you guessed it again...

Any other way to get pictures on here? 

Definitely... I also suspect Spektrum over Flysky are better at managing the power?

My DX4C has been at 5.1v for about the last 30 hours it's been turned on.

My Spektrum 2ch stick radio seems to go on forever with alkinlines. My fav crawler radio.  Pity they discontinued it but was too expensive really.

I use Ni-zn battery in my radio gear, they have a stupid amount of capacity, but run at a slightly higher voltage 

Surprisingly I havent actually 

Well, when you do, you'll change your mind about which is worse  

Hmmm, something good about to happen v' owww that prop just took half my finger off.

Nope, I think the latter is worse!! 

Come on,  don't use the censored emoji like that. Remember this is a family forum! 

you should try ads care care, as you own a ford im sure you have heard off the company 

in the am?!

Yeah mate

Can't grumble. Especially if you finish early. I work shifts 4 on 4 off 6am-6pm now that's a ****ter if its busy!!

What was youre schedule once a week at 2hrs or?

My instructor is now and then its been 5wks now but i cancelled once. Hes a good teacher tho but focuses on the intensive students 8hrs a day. After 2hrs im ready lol. 

i just signed to passion fords. some nice builds on ther and some wacky. like 500bhp plus mk3 festa lol. 

Cheers pal, defo would reccomend black box if you have no ncb and are just starting out. Went from £4400 down to £1800 and that wasn't even the cheapest. Much better, plus like I say will only have the box in there for 3 months ish then I also get a rebate depending on how well I do.

Are you feeling confident on the road? 

Passion Fords is that even still going? Yonks old.  

Yeah forgot about that! You have to make it known that you're looking at the mirrors otherwise they think you've forgot about them 

Keep calm and relaxed. Passed car, bike, bus and 2 HGV licenses first time that way. As has been said try to keep the minor mistakes down and drive as you have been taught. If all else fails wear a short skirt and some heels 

Yeah I've been told about always looking at your mirrors 100s of times haha, have noticed my self starting to do it naturally which is good. Although I've also noticed i'm thinking for my self too much in terms of the test, not driving as I was taught which is bad for the test but good for actual driving 

See the problem with silicon based products is they have terrible heat and pressure tolerances. So it just turns into a watery consistency and gets squished out between the gear mesh causing metal on metal.

Something like Red 'n' Tacky is not very thick but quite sticky and it's lithium based. Meaning it will cling to the metal surfaces a lot more providing better lubrication.

That's what I understand of it any way?  

Moly grease 

This is the Moly one I use.

Sounds good mate it is a 1.4 I was/am hoping to get then planned to get the zetecS body parts fitted. They look sweet. the top lip spoiler adds character too it's a bit of a cliff at the back so the lip wing improves it i think. 

I like the corsa C too but never liked the driving position of vauxhalls feels too low but maybe the newer ones have lift seats. I'm only 5.5 

I tried to drive a calibra once lol could barely see the window wipers lol. 

I'm booked for weds now I messaged him. I must have told him I'll wait afew weeks to move and settle before another lesson. So good job I did text rather than wait.

He's an intensive instructor too so sometimes it's hard to fit me in he's very very good so always booked up lol.  

I've only had two instructors the first was the worst Staffordshire had to offer I think.  She ended up bankrupt and owing me money I had to wait 6months for. Till I gave up waiting and text her saying times up I'm going other routes. Then she came with cash.  

She said bill plant driving school ruined her with the brand new audi a3 1.9tdi couldn't afford the payments and ended up in a big mess. 

I noticed bill plant are pushing Mercedes-Benz now I'll never use them again sounds like they just rob instructors making them take cheap rates whilst having to pay high fees to them. My lessons ended 15min early on average too which was annoying me more and more. Plus we just drove from my town to a village and back lots of parked talking. 

This guy usually waits till my time is up then says ok drive home. We drive to Stafford usually bcos that's where I'll be doing the test. He mock exams me too independent driving I did ok last run. 

Apart from an old lady who couldn't decide to cross or not being approached by a learner who couldn't decide whether to stop or go around lol.  Ended with her starting to run and me panic stopping. jhon said well atleast you checked behind you first lol. 

He says my car control is very good. But my observation stuff is very bad. routines ect. 

Like mirror signal monuver. I'll signal turn and mayb check the mirror last. So he's trying to drill that in now. 

One of my biggest problems is I always end up with 5 cars right behind me. even tho I'm doing the limit now jhon says it's cos I'm the only one doing the limit. 

But once I've got cars behind me I start getting hot it's like the cuckeoos are trying to force me forward. They'll swing out on my back corner then swing back in on my front corner. Like they are trying to fool me into something.  

Even jhon agreed with me on a lorry he skit it and went for the wheel but didn't take it just a whew wtf was he doing.  I was stopped on A road junction that crosses the oncoming Lane.  So the lorry had no business in that Lane.  

Mayb he wasn't paying attention and thought he was following me. Then realised at the last second ide stopped. 

Or he and many others think it's funny to mess with learners. 

I only found out two lessons ago the test is only 45min and independent is like 20min or something that cheered me up. 

I was preparing for a 2hr test lol. 

I jus miss me anorak channel as she called em...discovery/history all the channel up there....

They have put my price up 3 times this year so far, I would cancel but we move soon so may as well wait till then and go with sky or just get bt phone and broadband then use netflix and something like that amazon thingy

The boxes are crap and slow, Much worse than sky boxes and the service is not as good. But there internet and phone are spot on. 200mbs cannot be argued with tbh

Most likely won't watch anymore episodes.

Thought it was pretty poor :/ trying far too hard for forced canned laughter.

Thought the cars (and the whole segment they were in) were awesome, the rest was dreadful! Too much forced humour with the 'celebrities', the audience 'fight', the grumpy NASCAR driver etc. 

It was both the best bits of old Top Gear, and also the worst rolled into one. 

They need to stop trying to be funny. The best humour from those three just seems to come when they are just getting on with the task at hand. By all means give them silly tasks to do, but cut the scripted 'comedy' and stick to what flows naturally. 

I thought it was good for a first episode, some bits were a little fake but overall it wasn't too bad. The need to have prime could be annoying but as a student I get money off for the next few years so isn't a problem for me. I think it's worth £80 a year as the same day delivery and the good range of films and TV shows are a bonus. I wish they did rc stuff like the US one does. 

What one human can brainwash a whole host of others to do....

Each of the 13 million or so that died at the hands of the Nazis deserves to be remembered. No one will ever know the true toll however. Pity that here in western Europe we tend to forget about all those that were murdered in eastern Europe.

Stalin probably killed more Russians, Ukrainians, Latvians etc. than Hitler, and with just as much brutality. Read 'Stalin - the court of the red tsar' .... great book about a disturbing subject. The only thing Hitler got right was to recognise the threat Stalin was to the world.

Mind you...Shirers 'rise and fall of the third reich' is a fascinating book that tells how all this came to be from somebody who was there when it started. The Germans made sure the death camps were not on German soil.....but they knew all about the other concentration camps.

The important thing is not that people remember....but that we do not let it happen again. Our governments regularly break international laws today in the name of 'peace' and 'security' ....
