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..

"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  

Old fords.......lol

either prepare to spend decent money on a showroom condition example or buy one of the other 98% of fords and end up with a rot box.....

Plenty of road signs around lol. 

Been looking at Fords myself recently.. Something a bit newer though just for the reliability factor.

Mainly looking at Mondeos actually, so impressed with how reliable they are, my Dads work has about 15 of them, most of which have 250k+ miles on the clock and they are just abused for every mile of that by coach drivers racing to get home after a days work.

The one my Dads got sat outside has 370k on it and still pulls like a train.

Seems like just the ticket for me.

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? 

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 

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.  

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. 

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 

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

Our card payment services at work have been very slow all day,sometimes declining cards altogether,probably as a result of this as well.

Now. If you're o.k. with electronics, you could get a cheapish 100w+ size charger and a 150w+ xbox psu off ebay for about a tenner. Cut the xbox end off and fit 4mm bullets on the end and job done. AC chargers are stupid money imho for what they are. There is instructions on the xbox thing if interested.

Lol had a few beers last night. 

Not had a problem with hk either tho 

I've got a few 800W PC PSUs hanging around so I'm sure I'll be good on that front. 

How much could you get a decent enough DC charger for? Say 6S capable for future upgrades

Parcelforce have always been good for me, had one 'major' issue with them where a box got ripped and some items fell out, the sender had received a cheque for the full insurance amount within about 7 days of him making the claim, UK Mail are a similar story, but yeah, look on YouTube for Hermes, you'll see some 'interesting' parcel delivery systems

Poxy site still ain't working... 

To be fair I haven't used Parcelforce my self, just heard about all the stories. 

They're just going to end up all the same soon with more and more self employed drivers coming along :/ (Not having a dig at all of them) 

Indeed, I've had 3 damaged parcels arrive here from Parcelforce, but never had a damaged one at my old house, it's definitely more down to the drivers.

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

YAMA = You Are Mentally Afflicted 

AOWEi = Absolutely Offensive With Effluence Included 

Or words to that effect....

Don't buy Evssv's DBXL simply because he has clearly had temporary loss of all common sense and when he sits and thinks, will know the only right thing to do is keep and enjoy it. 

£399 rtr for a I'M Baja thing. 

How much you after for the Losi? Petrol or leccy?

KM is cheaper than that and will be better, absolutely no question at all.

Well I got one more manoeuvre to do (parallel park) after that i'm done. 8 lessons before the end of November left. I think the waiting list is a few weeks so not too bad I hope  

My instructor told me I'll be lucky to get a test this year. Big back log or something 6months wait mayb just my area. But the way he sounded it's normal lol. 

Nice one for passing it's a good feeling.  

Ahh. Good luck mate! 

I waited about 8weeks for my test. For my retake I paid to get a text when there was a cancellation. Got a retake within 2 weeks of my 1st test. Well worth the tenner or whatever it cost.

Hella ide say the lrp 28 spec 3 would be a much better engine for you and it's around £100 New from germany. Or the lrp .25 mayb. 

32 engines are best for heavy rcs and drink a ton more fuel plus don't rev as high so gearing gains the speed.  

Lrp 28 claims 4hp revs quite high, tons of users and info available and it's cheap.  

Hong nor .32 is that basically a force 32 engine like the savage xl uses? Cos people soon stick an lrp in the savage lol. 

4hp for £100? That's a lot better than my current engine o_o 

I'll take a look into it now, I guess eBay is the place to go?

Are they reliable and good parts support?

Or I found this for around the £95ish mark delivered 

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

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? 

FYI: From what I have heard, it's only the LVC that doesn't work with 5s.  The esc performs fine.  Again this is only what I have heard but it makes sense to me.

I've just had a re-read and it said "set LVC to disabled for 5s"

Errrr, NO. Don't think I will thank you.

just add a lipo alarm job done mate

TH BLS one has a great reputation and is used by many on the Xmaxx forum. That said, its a $100 all aluminium cased, titanium geared servo soooo?

just get either of these mate

Proven and bargains.

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

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 

I though about packing it up. Putting the money into something else until i went out with the cars and had a fairly trouble free day. Nothing quite beets it.

The most classic thing I could afford is a MK3 Escort haha. Either getting a Mk4 Escort 1600, or a Toyota Starlet. Which ever will be easier to get hold off. Then the £1800 for insurance  

Should all work out hopefully... 

Yeah insurance is a killer! Paid about 2000 for a 2010 astra estate 1.7cdti... Hopefully less when time to renew, as I'll have two cars by then :/

My insurance halved in price after the first year from £1400 to £700 and I found shopping around helped. My car is relatively new (64 plate) as i found new cars were much cheaper to insure and as I do a lot of driving it was worth it. I passed in around 20 hours and first time but I wasn't confident. My confidence was massively boosted once I started driving on my own after a few weeks. As they say you learn to drive once you've passed your test.

Good to hear Alex,  that's how I felt on my provisional I was certain ide fail it so didn't want to pay for it lol. So my step arranged it and said your goin and you will pass it watch.  All the way ther I was like errrr I'm gonna fail sorry for wasting your money and time lol. 

Got out with my sheet and saw pass first time I ever punched the air, but still lack of confidence made me think I literally just passed it on the marks. For twenty mins my dad was like a pass is a pass it doesn't matter. Then he said that's the needed score not yours lol. Then realised I didn't just pass I did very well. 

I was 10x more confident about the questions than the hazzard stuff but found the cgi stuff used at the centre is like a kids version compared to the home hazzard disks. 

I'm going for a lesson in 15mins I hope it goes well my nerves are kicking in now gopro on charge. The instructor wants me to film the lessons too saying it'll help me plus he wants to test the dash cam out he's thinking of installing one. 

But I think he said your not allowed sound on during a test only video. I think anyway it could be lessons too. 

It's a 1.6 citeron ds3 butt ugly car but very nice to drive. 

It was a good en, did lots of fast driving 74 was the fastest during overtaking on daul carriage way 4 lane. Uttoxeter to burton. Did my best bay parking too twice I just hit it straight in 90° I went to straighten up to hit the next bay and he said "don't you f..... dare touch that. So I kept in and it worked a charm. 

Gopro let me down tho wouldn't record for more than afew seconds hopefully it was just memory.  

Make sure your Dad buys the beers it's bloody expensive at the circuit!

We have taken the Triumph down to the south of france four times now 2,500 miles round trip each time, what a blast!! Booked to go to the Spa Classic next May another great place for classic racing

Enjoy.

Cheers

Mike.

Yeah we have beer rucksacks already sorted haha... Couple of crates should be enough

Fair enough mate got your self a golden motor there! 

Where is Spa? Belgium? I can't remember. 

Staying in the scumiest hotel for the night then driving the rest of the way tomorrow

Spa is Belgium

Few beers will make it go away 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
