Easy, its becasue you are a woman, you obviously do not know the science behind anything mechanical
I had a car many years ago that had a bent drive shaft or something after I hit a kerb (didnt tell the lease company that though) which meant the only way I could stop the steering juddering at any real speed was by getting the wheels balanced on the car rather than the normal machine. The lease company hated this becasue it cost them a lot more. 5656

General / Re: Insurance Renewal« on: 17 October 2011, 02:39:33 pm »
I have just had some fun with my car renewal. New car back in July and previously paid about £350 to insure the old one. Insurance renewal came through as £610 but the online comparison websitew with the same company was quoting £380 so I phoned them up.
Had to tell tehm about a claim teh Mrs had made first so they put their quote up to £750 I then asked about the online quote i had. Some bollocks response followed by a "yes we can match that". 50% off just for calling them. FFS. 5661

Helen, I took my test on an XS750. Most were the horrible custom types but the one I had was just a normal road bike. Not seen one like it for years.

Company registration is straight forward enough as is the website/printing, the thing to keep an eye on is the accounts. Others with much more experience than me will be along shortly though.

The thing to watch is when you find your car missing and the insurance company ask for both sets of keys before they will pay out!

Now, do I want France to win because they aren't Welsh, or do I want Wales to Win becasue they aren't French?
Difficult decision time! 5669

I came down the M11, round the M25 and onto the M23 yesterday and the number of tw@ts who hog the middle lane is unbelievable. Worst offenders believe it or not were BMW's.
On several occasions I overtook a BMW using lane 3 then moved over to lane 1 for the next couple of miles only to find the BMW had finally caught up with me just as I was about to overtake the next thing in lane2. Feccin BMW went past me then didnt go into lane 3, just stayed behind the next braindead feccer in lane 2 whilst I went past them both in lane 3. So what I can hear you saying. I had cruise control set to 70ish and was going a constant speed all that time where they were playing around with their speed and getting nowhere. 5673

Could just be a bad connection on teh dodgy itallian electrics or lack of water covering the sensor.

It's not the exhaust noise that is the problem, it is the wind noise from the wind going around your helmet.

If I am just going round town at 30ish, I tend to go without but ANY distance at speed above that is noticably noisy and I wear them. Just cheap ones from e-bay. Bough a box of about 200 pair a few years ago and still got loads left. Only cost about £10 then.
It was some like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20-EAR-PLUGS-HOWARD-LEIGHT-MAX-10-PAIRS-SNR-37dB-/160656336625?pt=UK_BOI_ProtectiveGear_RL&hash=item2567dd26f1 |
