Very much so yes, he was pandering to the voters and played with fire. Obviously his arrogance back fired.

EU: Leave or Remain
Being 30 chris I remember very well what was done at 22. We worked bloody hard in jobs that paid the minimum wage or there abouts unable to get skilled work that paid a living wage regardless of education. Just stuck. EU or no EU that won't change fast. It takes a long time for most to get a job that you can live off and make your way in the world.

EU: Leave or Remain
Sorry but that's not right. At 26 he would be lucky to have a proper job let alone a mortgage with the average age about of that step now 32. I can also relate to mondos reaction. This attitude that out overs are a bunch of uneducated racists is crap, they are in fact comprised of normal people and were the majority of the voting electorate, more so if you focus on England. Infact the only place it seems remain has much success in England was London which does not reflect average Britain very well at all.

Bye bye EU
Nothing to reflect on. The market has bulked at the decision but it's simply that a bulk, nothing has even been set in stone or even changed yet. I expect things to numb somewhat over the coming months. It's also worth pouring out the economical side of the decision was only one part of it. At the end of the day the 52% of the British public have decided it was the way forward.

That's democracy mate, the majority wins. You will be fine your young enough that it won't effect you much, by the time your in a position it will in about 10 years, everything will be settled.

EU: Leave or Remain
If this is the start of a domino effect as predicted there may not be an EU for Eire and Scotland to remain part of. Pressure is being put on particularly in the Netherlands and France for further referendums. Interesting times ahead and a lot of sweaty moments for the the political establishment.

Radiator cross member replacement, day one.
So let me get my head on straight. The tie rod mounts won't mount up to the frame with the currently alignment. I think you need to unbolt the tie rod.

Well I've cast my bet. I call it that because either way it's a shot in the dark.

Chin up. I'm sure it's one of those where you have to take a step back and suddenly the penny drops.

Remove front number plate petition
Generally that's true. However driving in places like Paris and Lyon is hell, it's like India. There are literally no rules, double, triple parking, nudging cars with yours to get In spaces the driving standard is beyond bad it's down right scarey. When they all go down south for their holidays that driving goes with them. Compare where my parents live in rural northern France to Lyon and it's like two different countries. I literally wouldn't dare take any car to Lyon as it would come back recked, they have zero respect for other people's cars or their own.

The most credible reason to retain said current limit is actually pollution. I'm a self confessed climate change skeptic. Going faster equals more pollution, both in terms of noise and emissions regardless on there short or long term effects.

It is, which is why I don't say "speeding should be legal" merely that the current logics and prosecution there after are unbalanced to the "offence".

Agreed steve. My driver awareness corse was the biggest misuse of statistics (a traffic officer agreed with me on that one). The highlight was when he exclaimed that the most dangerous roads in Dorset are 30mph limits, his reasoning, there's where most accidents happen. The safest roads where, motorways. I asked him where most people were seriously injured or killed, national speed limit A roads. "So to me that would suggest that 30mph zones skew the stats due to fender benders and minor accidents, surely where most people die is the most dangerous." I said. He didn't like that much. I then almost fell off my chair as the bloke a few to my side announced, "of corse Dorsets motorway are the safest roads, we ain't got one mate." :lol: oh pure comedy.

I think personally there's a lot of stats out there that "prove" that speed was the cause of the accident. This may have more to do with justification of current laws. The biggest cause of accidents is lack of concentration. Speed is merely a factor that worsens the out come, it's rarely if ever the root cause. If you try and go round a tight hair pin in the wet at 40 on a national speed limit road, the result is forgone, the cause of the crash was your inability to drive to the road condition in front of you. You can drive under the limit and still be driving dangerously, road conditions and layout can help to reduce the safe speed considerably. If you can't drive in a straight at 90mph on a dry Tarmac road arguably should you have a liecense? Also I didn't say accidents at 100mph were safe. Accidents at 30mph can be disastrous in some circumstances.

And? I know you have to set a limit but currently 100mph is a license loosing speed. With modern cars and motorways there's no reason why 100mph shouldn't be perfectly safe yet it's criminal. Personally if its dry I think they should leave you alone till about 90 and 100mph should be a fine. Too heavy handed are out motor way limits. Intact, sod it. I'd like to see the offence of excessive speed scrapped. With more focus on driving to the conditions. That dick that does 70 in the snow because "Range Rover" (probably on summer tyres) could then be addressed whilst retaining the ability to book bellends doing 60 past a school. Maybe retain 30mph limits for built up areas, villages etc.

Z fails MOT
Sorry to hear this Art, played a similar game myself this year. Funny what people get stuck in thier head. I remember being held at the side of the road in the rain because my 1982 car didn't have side indicators and plod was convinced it required them. I didn't even get an apology for that.

What did you do to your zed today?
I hear you. The corse cut at the beginning is scary as hell.
