that's time to change for me, uk legal limit is very low and tyres will stop preforming like they should in the wet when tread is getting close to 3mm

What's made you grumpy today?

Yeah, wait for a bit then plod will pull you, pretty sure metal sticking out of rubber is a bad thing
Continental tread wear markers are at 3 mm however they block the channels in the tyre...worst tyre is about 3.2mm best is about 3.4 if it was winter they'd be gone by now.

It looks like an office staple in one of the tyres, but it could be something more sinister, it's not losing air. I'm not talking like a bit of barbed wire or a blatant nail.
Edit: anyway moot point its booked in for 4 goodyear efficient grips tomorrow.

Went to do a simple job which was clean the bathroom and due to my own tiredness/clumsiness made a bigger mess, that took ages to sort out
Had the police at the door asking me if I'd been stealing petrol. Er no and if I had I would have put more than the quarter of a tank my car is showing in...if I'm gonna risk a criminal record and all the issues it would cause at work etc it wouldn't be for a tenners worth of supermarket unleaded.
Mustn't have a reg number only a vehicle description tho as they wandered off when I said it wasn't me lol.

Great crime solving there, as if anyone would just fess up just like that
Maybe I don't fit the description, probably just been told to door knock everyone who owns a red swift in a 3 mile radius.
I once annoyed a copper knocking (i say knocking, banging loudly with his foot or hitting stick) on my door-
Excuse me sir is that your car parked outside your house?
The one parked illegally officer?
Yes.
No that's yours.
Not the police car, the one in front of it.
Nope.
Well it's parked in front of your house...
So is your police car, but that's not mine either, unless that's what my tax bought.
Just tell me are you the owner of the blue Honda, it's registered to number 19.
You've knocked on number 9, and thanks for letting me know who's that car is, it steals my parking place.
It's illegal to park ther... Oh well we'll go and see number 19, bit of advice, there's no need to be flippant to policemen.
I was out till 5am, you just woke me up. I'm grumpy now.
The older policeman with him had a smile on him so I guessed it was a new recruit being chaperoned.
Turns out number 19 didn't like taxing their Honda, parking legally, slowing it down for speed cameras.

Reading that has made me smile! you should put that on the happy thread too.
Flaming ebay.
Sold a brand new pair of raybans, Immediately get a message "OOH, think i bought the wrong ones, what are they like, are they too tortoise shelly" FFS!
She sent me about 6 messages up until midnight last night asking all kinds of crap.
The bad thing is, I can send them to her, she decides nah, not for me, and you cannot do anything about it, Ebay ALWAYS side with the buyer, no matter how they've behaved.
I once sold a tent on there £300, the stupid cow buyer used it for a 10 day camping holiday then said "I want to send it back as you sent the wrong one and you've used a library picture in the advert."
My car was in the flaming photo next to the pitched tent!
Totally tucked up!
HATE ebay!!

that Stanford Hall - 20 Years Of The Punto thread, makes me feel very old

thats cause you are old
that Stanford Hall - 20 Years Of The Punto thread, makes me feel very old
I remember the first adverts for the Punto - thought it was a really cool looking car!! I even wanted one!
I was 5
Going round a roundabout...indicating left following a flatbed truck also indicating left for the same exit. Now I was a little to the right of where I'd normally be as I'd positioned myself off the tail board of the truck so as not to be somewhere where the truck was going to turn but I'm massively out of position and I'm indicating. Guy in a corsa going straight on decides he's going to go left of me, he's A lucky I checked my blindspot incase someone was that daft and B lucky he stopped when I sounded my horn as he'd set himself up for a date with an HGVs blind spot just as it turned left...nugget he wasn't even going left he was going straight on..
