I always find it mightily amusing in forum threads when people state that they've said their piece and won't be contributing again yet within a short time can't resist piping up again and again. Steve.

Oh Languedoc, I feel your pain. An all too frequent occurrence in these parts as well. An blessing of this unseasonably bad weather we've been having is not too many have turned up yet. But their day will come, their day will come.... Monsieur Le Grenadier I've not been everywhere, but it's on my list..... 2011 Puma 110DC - Corris Grey |

Not so much a grumpy post as a 'stunned' observation post.
People who drive down tight lanes with their wing mirrors folded in. Ignoring the benefit of some low level warning that 'you are getting close to that car or wall' in favour of the short term gain of possibly saving damage to said wing mirror yet outweighed when it matters by the damage sustained to the flank of the car when the folded mirrors offer no notice of impending crunched bodywork at all. Much as I saw earlier this afternoon when a RAV4, wing mirrors neatly folded in, misjudged a tight bridge crossing and promptly had their rear wheel arch ripped of by a nice solid peace of granite masonry.

sorry the ones I deal with seem to expect me to do the job I pay them to do and the filthy state some people leave houses in disgusts me, I don't claim to be a clean freak but the bathroom that was supposedly cleaned for two hours and the filth on the grout and tiles that "just wouldn't move" I went round one tile with cleaning products for 60 seconds and to my amazement it was clean Ray My build thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic17615.html |

Illegal in the UK, of course, exterior mirror (on o/s at least) must be functional. |
