Anyone looking to buy a set of Knipex pliers, I recommend going to Amazon's German site. Just got some for thirty quid less than the UK price.

I agree with Henry, rusty P38s are a rarity. Nothing else on the list seems insurmountable.

Completely self taught here. Mainly lack of money led to buying cheap cars and learning to fix them. Have to say, Youtube has been the most amazing resource for amateur mechanics in my lifetime.

64% off my track rods from ECP in their Black Friday sale. I iz happy.

It's not just LR. My insurance on the Jag doubled. I shopped around and got cover elsewhere.

I treated myself to some decent ratchets. I have the ones that came in the Halfords Advanced kit, which are pretty good, but I wanted a flex head. Much Googling later, best bang for the buck seemed to be Gearwrench. So I splashed out and got a 1/2, 3/8, 1/4 and 3/8 stubby for 130 squid.

17 on mine.

I finally caved and bought a compresssor.

Direct Line won't even quote me on the Jag. Not sure if that's just because it's Northern Ireland though.

I've decided a change of job would be good so started applying for some. Of course they want to see my license and I couldn't find my paper counterpart bit anywhere. Sneaking suspiscion I never got it back from my current employer. So I went to NI.gov and ordered a duplicate. Two days later it...

I'm at a complete loss to understand the LZ similar threads algorythm. This is at the bottom of the BBC Pervert thread:

Coppers over here don't stop people for no MOT any more because the waiting list for tests usually means you're driving around for six months without a valid cert until you can get an appointment.

There's a bloke about two miles from me selling a 42u server cabinet. But it's HUGE. If I bought it I'd have to build an extension on the house. Tempted.

Very much so.

Yep, it's back.

I've noticed it doesn't show the number of posts someone has like it used to. Not a big deal, just an observation.

Is that Electroboom? His channel is hilarious.

My missis thinks it's weird that I got excited about my new trolley jack arriving. But you lot know it isn't.

Today I watched my first ever episode of Downton Abbey. Really not my sort of thing so I've never bothered. Have to say, it's really bloody good. And Maggie Smith walks off with the entire thing whenever she's on the screen.
