We are on our uppers here and I do like value for money.
We've only ever purchased new for the wife or work vans.
I've never had a new motorcycle or car (excluding company cars).
Frugal, rather than parsimonious.... that's us.
You will insist on buying German shite - does this not make it clear to you
Italian for motorcycles and suits.You will insist on buying German shite - does this not make it clear to you
German for vans/cars..... and suits.
Good luck with that
I must be missing something here - why are electric cars like this,
when surely, they should look like this ?

Sooner than you think in London. A relative works within tfl and most shifts he uses a tfl white caddy van. He asked about the new van as some bits looked different on the front.
It turns out that all new work vans from 24 reg onwards, are now going to be fitted with combined speed/anpr cameras. So the driver inside will have nothing to do with it but all info taken by the vans will be fed back to ulez hq to ensure they capture speeders and those who haven't paid ulez/congestion charge.

I've given up the fight. I just take the train or bus (park & ride) to cities. If I go to Fowlups in Bristol with the car, then I just dip into the low emission bit of Bristol - which I never realised until recently. Luckily my car is OK. And I've been in both of the Bath and Bristol Low Emission Zones with my new KTM. I dunno if they bother with motorcycles anyway, but one day I will learn.
With all of the problems that Bristol City Council face, I am amazed that they give a toss about these things! Ah, but of course, where there is money involved . . . . .

In both Bath & Bristol (especially) dirty stinking, smoking diesel buses and trains are fine. A big double-decker bus carrying one person is good for the environment, I learn. There is so much to learn these days!
Aberdeen LEZ is being introduced on June fools day, part of it runs past the harbour which has loads of big fuck off boats running thier big fuck off engines for power on board
the only good thing is motorcycles are exempt in scotchland (so you'll be safe in Glasgow on the scotchland trip should you happen to go there) I'm looking for a 40 plus year old gas guzzler as they will be exempt too
Very tempting... and ULEZ compliant...

Sort of electric vehicle stuff....
We have the standard 6 ft. Fence in the backyard, and a few months Ago, I heard about burglaries increasing dramatically in the entire City. To make sure this never happened to me, I got an electric Fence and ran a single wire along the top of the fence.
Actually, I got the biggest cattle charger Tractor Supply had, made For 26 miles of fence. I then used an 8 ft. Long ground rod, and Drove it 7.5 feet into the ground. The ground rod is the key, with The more you have in the ground, the better the fence works.
One day I'm mowing the back yard with my cheapo Wal-Mart 6 hp big Wheel push mower. The hot wire is broken and laying out in the Yard. I knew for a fact that I unplugged the charger. I pushed the Mower around the wire and reached down to grab it, to throw it out of The way.
It seems as though I hadn't remembered to unplug it after all.
Now I'm standing there, I've got the running lawnmower in my right Hand and the 1.7 giga-volt fence wire in the other hand. Keep in Mind the charger is about the size of a marine battery and has a Picture of an upside down cow on fire on the cover.
Time stood still.
The first thing I notice is my pecker trying to climb up the front Side of my body. My ears curled downwards and I could feel the Lawnmower ignition firing in the backside of my brain. Every time That Briggs & Stratton rolled over, I could feel the spark in my Head. I was literally one with the engine.
It seems as though the fence charger and the piece of shit lawnmower Were fighting over who would control my electrical impulses.
Science says you cannot crap, pee, and vomit at the same time. I beg To differ. Not only did I do all three at once, but my bowels Emptied 3 different times in less than half of a second. It was a Matrix kind of bowel movement, where time is creeping along and You're all leaned back and BAM BAM BAM you just crap your pants 3 Times. It seemed like there were minutes in between but in reality It was so close together it was like exhaust pulses from a big block Chevy turning 8 grand.
At this point I'm about 30 minutes (maybe 2 seconds) into holding Onto the fence wire. My hand is wrapped around the wire palm down so I can't let go. I grew up on a farm so I know all about electric Fences ... But Dad always had those piece of shit chargers made by International or whoever that were like 9 volts and just kinda tickled.
This one I could not let go of. The 8 foot long ground rod is now Accepting signals from me through the permadamp Ark-La-Tex river Bottom soil. At this point I'm thinking I'm going to have to just Man up and take it, until the lawnmower runs out of gas.
'Damn!,' I think, as I remember I just filled the tank!
Now the lawnmower is starting to run rough. It has settled into a Loping run pattern as if it had some kind of big lawnmower race cam In it. Covered in poop, pee, and with my vomit on my chest I think 'Oh God please die ... Pleeeeaze die'. But nooooo, it settles into The rough lumpy cam idle nicely and remains there, like a big bore Roller cam EFI motor waiting for the go command from its owner's Right foot.
So here I am in the middle of July, 104 degrees, 80% humidity, Standing in my own backyard, begging God to kill me. God did not Take me that day ... He left me there covered in my own fluids to Writhe in the misery my own stupidity had created.
I honestly don't know how I got loose from the wire ...
I woke up laying on the ground hours later. The lawnmower was beside Me, out of gas. It was later on in the day and I was sunburned.
There were two large dead grass spots where I had been standing, and Then another long skinny dead spot where the wire had laid while I Was on the ground still holding on to it. I assume I finally had a Seizure and in the resulting thrashing had somehow let go of the wire.
Upon waking from my electrically induced sleep I realized a few things:
1 - Three of my teeth seem to have melted.
2 - I now have cramps in the bottoms of my feet and my right butt cheek (not the left, just the right).
3 - Poop, pee, and vomit when all mixed together, do not smell as bad as you might think.
4 - My left eye will not open.
5 - My right eye will not close.
6 - The lawnmower runs like a sumbitch now. Seriously! I think our little session cleared out some carbon fouling or something, because it was better than new after that.
7 - My nuts are still smaller than average yet they are almost a foot long.
8 - I can turn on the TV in the game room by farting while thinking of the number 4 (still don't understand this???).
That day changed my life. I now have a newfound respect for things.
I don't care what type of humor you like this is funny
I appreciate the little things more, and now I always triple check to make sure the fence is unplugged before I mow.
The good news, is that if a burglar does try to come over the fence, I can clearly visualize what my security system will do to him, and THAT gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling all over, which also reminds me to triple check before I mow.

Pulled up at the lights today and spoke to a food delivery rider on an electric scooter.... after some initial language difficulties we finally got "Shit bike, shit bike... three batteries a day and only do local", so he's not pleased.
I know someone who could do with a gyro fitting to his bike, he used to live in Perth but I think he's in Ireland now
