    He thought an 80 mile detour was worth it, and got home ok.

    The trick is just not to do it. You’re better off shivering in your car than writing it off and the insurance company disowning you. Is it worth £30K+ to continue the journey? This is my little bro trying to get from Northumberland to Scotland just after Christmas. The abandoned white car is toast. 4df64f8c-12a1-4f7a-9c81-195e0f6bb088.mp4

    Good to know Mick. Next time I renew any insurance I will be sure to ask for a fully detailed breakdown of costs. Then give them the figure that I think I should be paying.

    I thought that Moose. As long as there’s enough amps how can it know the fuel type? Unless it’s got a government chip in it and it won’t start anything running on red….

    Agreed. You can’t work for idiots like that.

    I would certainly check mate!

    Apparently that’s not suitable for diesels Stubs.

    My Halfords own brand one cost £90 and will start up to 3l.

    Noco seem to be pretty highly thought of. This one starts diesels up to 4 litre. It seems the more you pay, the bigger sized engine it will start. NOCO Boost X GBX45 1250A 12V UltraSafe Portable Lithium Jump Starter | Halfords UK WWW.HALFORDS.COM Shop the latest at Halfords UK

    This could apply to all of us for pretty much every situation.

    Possibly. I can’t remember his name, but he was a specialist. This was in St. Albans. I went back to work in the afternoon with stitches in my gums and basically drooling blood. Bad idea.

    Alex that is frighteningly similar to my own experience, including the bear-like saffa! The next couple of days were bad. Really bad. Like Mick, 30 years ago, and still an ugly memory.

    So if I need to haul logs and chip to use onsite I’m golden? The rules are basically ridiculous, and they can fuck off.

    Is there still an exemption for under 50km from base?

    If I get stopped and asked where my tachograph is I just say the gypsies stole it, then no further action is ever taken.

    Please tell me you’ve got a blower ticket, at least?

    Strange fact about that tune Eggs. I bought it on cassette single when it came out, and the lyrics went - ‘There’s a funeral in the town, Some guy from the top estate. Seems they found him under a train, And yet he had it all on a plate.’ It was quickly withdrawn, and the lyrics changed to - ‘Black car drives through the town, Some guy from the top estate. Left a note for a local girl, And yet he had it all on a plate.’ The release coincided with the tragic murder of Jamie Bulger, so the lyrics were quickly changed out of respect to his family.

    So this is how it feels to be lonely?

    I was just going to plug mine in. Do they come with a plug or croc clips? If it’s clips what would be a good battery choice?

    This all day long. You could even go genuine Honda, a GX390 is about £700.
  22. Mark Bolam
    Spam lasagna Pete? Interested.
  23. Mark Bolam
    Well I thought it was too good to be true. Just had all my properties repossessed, been declared bankrupt, but my wife and kids have actually taken everything. Bastard Community Chest.
  24. Mark Bolam
    That can’t apply to humans, surely!

    It’s 2023.
