Don't the lib dems have rejoining or closer ties as part of their manifesto ? or did I not recall properly...

"Auxiliary light on"

I guess they use that to trigger the drop.

My own first name Mark, Firstly it is supposed to be spelled Marc as according to my mother I was named after Marc Bolan but they wrote it with a K on the birth certificate. Secondly it just doesn't feel like it suits me, I have no idea what alternative I would pick though. Maybe I just don't feel comfortable being called by my name no matter what it is :)

Not really a truck guy but I quite like the look of that.

That's a great example, I was prompted by the Fluke Skywalker stuff going on, But there are plenty of times when people who are famous for something are found to fall short. Then you get this outpouring of grief and disappointment, It happens enough that people should know better really.

I hate that many people idolise other people.

It's possible to like some of the work of somebody without idolising them and blindly listening to or following absolutely everything they do.

I feel that speaks more to your state of mind than anything the headline writer did... ;)

I'm 47 and without kids, I was always indifferent to them and decided if I got with somebody who wanted one then it would happen, Once my sisters had kids I lost any remaining interest in the idea, I don't think I would be a good dad as a result of my indifference. My Mrs is very much not interested in them either, Not a good environment for a kid to grow up in I feel. Sometimes people think it's ok to ask why not, For me that question isn't a problem but I can understand how it might be a massive problem for those who wanted them and for whatever reason didn't get any.

I am slightly surprised by a quarter though, Had you asked me before I would have said a few percent tops...

Purcell Police Chief David Tompkins stated that Bolin's murder was the culmination of Underwood's fantasy to "kidnap a person, rape them, torture them, kill them, cut off their head, drain the body of blood, rape the corpse, eat the corpse then dispose of the organs and bones."

Blimey!

Just Ubuntu. I have tried plenty of others but Ubuntu just seems to tick most boxes for me.

EDIT: I am looking forward to the new Pop! when it comes out, I will surely give it a try, No idea if I will switch then though.

 
 
 

This was another bare shell restoration, I did this one during lockdown.

 

I stripped this to a bare shell and did a LOT of welding then painted it this fine Yellow, A colour I found very hard to paint.

 

I have done a lot to this car over the last year, It started with me removing the rear subframe and fuel tank to do some welding. I am now going through every detail so it all works as it should.

I put all new suspension on Tein Flex with adjustable damping and ride height, The paint is Firenza red, As you can see my garage is not big so it's hard to paint cars in there.

There was a post about a lack of posts here so I will post my other two projects as well.

 

After removing the rear subframe and fuel tank to weld up the jacking points/subframe mount points I have been working on making it look nice, This is a landrover metallic red. Still got the front end bolt-ons to spray like doors, wings, bonnet, bumper etc.

I posted here because I am looking for a project car community and wondered if anyone knows of one or will be starting one :) Thanks.

 

During the pandemic I stripped this to a bare shell, Welded it and replaced some panels, rebuilt the engine and painted it. Here is the result. I also have a yellow T2 that I did after...

Neither are complete yet but I keep working on them.
