  1. A lot. A tub is never ending….
  2. I have a 2017 X trail AWD tekna 1.6 TD. In the first two years there was issues with the AC. But Nissan were really good. Before this car I changed it every 2-3 years. I’m running this one to the ground (90k so far) for a reason….. I don’t need adblue and it’s a manual. Best car I’ve owned.
  3. These are the leather lined model, full length zip and press stud flap. I’ve worn these once, for a walk one stand one day - nearly brand new. Decided to stick to boots and waxed leggings. I can send more photos on request. £60 collected (North East) £70 posted.

    Holidays 2025

    Skiing in Feb - France Easter - Amsterdam summer - Florida Orlando. last summer we travelled around Italy, places that were part of the grand tour by train (defno out of our comfort zone). Really enjoyed it, although it was far too hot in early August. Venice - Sorrento - Tuscany - Rome - Amalfi Coast.
  5. Really? So it’s not a .17 bullet, low weight (say 20grn) eg - a VMAX bullet, travelled faster than the HMR hence my comment “on acid” Of course what would I know being a user and reloaded of one. Ps - I don’t need a lecture on it being a centre fire, necked down .22 hornet, small primer case that I happen to reload using - Case length 1.340" 11.4 grains of H4198 Federal SR primers COL 1.710"
  6. Basically a 17HMR on acid. No louder than a HMR and little if any recoil. Cheap to run and next to nothing to reload in the dinky case.
  7. Family friend moved to Florida When retired 6 years ago. Think of retiring to Spain, but chose the US instead. loves it. But due to age is always on a long term holiday. Periodically flies out of the US to Canada or Mexico (occasionally the UK) to get a visa to stay. Won't come back permanently until she needs to.
  8. Good luck with the sale. Part of my favourite Facebook page.
  9. This stove has seen very little use as it was too hot in the room. Fully refurbished with - New baffle, firebrick, door rope and resprayed with factory paint, to take it back to as new. Located in NE61, Northumberland. Happy to put on a pallet and deliver at buyers expense. More photos on request. £1100 ono
  10. There was on doing the rounds from Northumberland a few weeks ago with 2 charging points with a generator behind. The generator was for four traffic lights out of the picture.
  11. Come on then. How do pot holes form? If remember correctly, that aren't a new phenomenon. Is a EV heavier? Yes. So...... Has heavy road traffic increased in recent years? EV and VANS? Don't you get home deliveries? How much does a VW golf GTI weigh now compared to a MK1? I know my beige Datsun Cherry was very light.
  12. 2 (well 3) points for you to ponder. I'm not wasting time analysing full stats or data. This is just a quick google. 1. The surface treatment company Asphalt Group has debunked the rumour that electric vehicles are causing an increase in the number of potholes on the road. (from me - potholes have always been formed due to the soft road surface in the uk combined with freeze thaw conditions) add onto that government / council reduced spending on roads) 2. A study by the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency found that EVs are 20 times less likely to catch fire than ICE cars.
  13. What an awesome contribution. Did Barry down the pub tell you this?
