Back then it was a fairly easy diy job or any garage could fit them. Most of the time it was a liberal spray of ‘back to black’, a buff with a cloth and job done - then down to Our Price to pick up...

Makes me long for the old black plastic bumpers that acted as protection for the car as opposed to a pristine painted surface ready to be damaged! - and if they did get damaged you just bought a new...
My wife’s friend had a similar scrape in her new car (well, looks similar in the photo) and whilst she was telling my wife how upset she was I popped out to have a look, literally 5 minutes later...
Does the ridge on the crown have a purpose or is is just a design detail? Something about is has always put me off buying one of these - just looks odd imho
I have a BB58 that I wore more or less daily for 18 months and the same thing happened. Sorted eventually in 2 visits to my AD - first time it came back with very rough hand winding, second time it...
If they’d put a decent seat in an MG4, and place it far enough back so it could support a 6 foot 2 17 stone TZ member it would be a good start! - I test drove an MG4 next to my current Cupra Born and...
It’s all a bit confusing imho. The list price of my ICE fiesta last year was £27k. Now Dacia are able to release the electric Spring for £15-16k. Surely an electric Fiesta would sell like...
Ford do seem to have an incredibly small range of cars at the moment and not a single EV I’d buy. The Mach e looks good but too expensive imho. It’s a shame as my Fiesta ST is just about a year old...
Tbh they never really had a particularly recognisable design language - I can spot an Oris or a Sinn, a Rolex, an Omega or a Tudor - a cushion cased Seiko Diver or a Doxa, a Hamilton Khaki etc -...
Anything ‘edc’ which is always a bit Walter Mitty imho. And whilst I find Adrian Barker on his Bark and Jack you tube channel mildly irritating, his wielding of a coffee cup in a faux casual ‘hey...
I remember these doing the rounds a couple of years ago. Totally fake I’m afraid.
Years ago at the height of the lord of the rings releases I sat down for a fried breakfast one morning in Marylebone - in a greasy cafe nothing posh - and sat opposite me was Bernard Hill just...
Rather than being the best of both worlds it strikes me that a hybrid may be the worst. All the complexities, frailties and service requirements of an ICE with the additional weight of a small...
I bought the plastic cased originals for £99 and the steel for £199. They were Seiko diver equivalent priced at the time and TAG was actually more of an aspirational brand then than now imho. ...
Those are drop dead 90’s - or was it 80’s? - classics. Probably a grand each now though?!?
Hasn’t stopped raining here in North Norfolk for months. Various phone apps say things like ‘rain not expected for 2 days’ then literally an hour later it’s raining! Signs afoot of change today...
Low temperatures make a huge difference. Even the change to more balmy weather in the last day has seen the miles/kw jump from 2.9 last week to 4.1 today. I’ve had the car since December so I’m...
Very nice - Diver, smart, chrono and each pretty but purposeful. Make a great trio, and each the best of its kind imho. I’d be inclined to add something else with a splash of colour - or something...
I was really struggling with new varifocal glasses, turns out they were made incorrectly with a much too narrow ‘long distance’ area at the top so I await a new pair.
In regard to contacts, I had...
I partially agree - but after all that’s the sort of journey an extremely large proportion of drivers undertake 99% of the time. And probably the most polluting type of ICE driving. It’s also nice...
I worked with a girl who had 3 different Rolex watches she wore in rotation. She moaned to me they kept stopping after a day or so - I suggested she hand wound them before putting them on. She had...
Broken the end off your champ - couldn’t help but smirk!
I agree £1000 is ridiculous (and there was no damage to the grille, just replacing and reprogramming the sensors) - but only last week a friend hit a small (muntjack) deer in his 2 year old Fiesta...
Well, a couple of months ago my wife hit a pheasant on a country road whilst driving our Cupra Born. Initially I didn’t spot any damage, but on closer inspection the lower grille had popped in...
That’s what I never understand about London, and one of the reasons I moved away. Every nice part of London rubs shoulders with the grubby bits, with huge divisions of wealth within very short...
