The G Man

Sheer fantasy. DD

......the increase in rogue social media interference in lawful elections, hand in hand with incumbents full knowledge, unduly influencing results. Cnuts in charge on both sides of the Atlantic. Russia conquering the Middle East (lots of shots fired) and most of the west (without a shot fired) oh and “austerity” for the poor in the UK in particular

The plastic parts, front bumper especially, are hard to get right, even Nissan struggled from the factory on this. There are a few on here that had matching problems with this. One of the detailing geeks will be along soon with recommendations of polish, wax and cleaning regimes. Storm White (pearlescent white), is the most gorgeous white on any car out there. I’m such a fan that our 2019 Mazda 3 is pearlescent white, stunning when polished and waxed up, in all light.

This is a poignant movie, that reminds me so much of Trump/Johnson world, pay particular attention to the closing scenes....

Summed up this morning by one journalist when discussing the Corbyn election roadshow, his young enthusiastic supporters only engaged with themselves to the point where they monumentally talked themselves into thinking other people liked Corbyn and forget that there was an electorate to convince. If it wasn’t so serious that a compulsive liar is now running the show, it’d be a good laugh. Lib Dem’s shot themselves in the foot in 2010 and have never recovered, absolute dotards for dismissing the leave vote in England and coming out with ‘we’ll just rescind Brexit’.

Corbyn won it for him, Johnson is still a lying coward

...and apart from the SNP part, that culminated in 2015 but was happening since way before that...

Anyone who thinks being a member of the EU caused austerity is naive to think that’s why people voted to leave. Austerity policies by the conservative government caused austerity, which in turn left the weak, the poor, the vulnerable and those without hope of a better future, through no fault of their own, looking for an out. Farage and co, along with the hard right sold the idea that Europe was the enemy, used disinformation, lies, underhand targeting of social media, racism, fear of immigration etc, etc, etc. So the disaffected voted for what was sold as the solution, without a clue as to what might happen. No one, not one person can tell me, you or anyone else, in what way they will be better off leaving the EU, not a soul. Three years now, I’m still none the wiser what any benefit of leaving the EU holds. They've held up two boxes, one full of useful things like medicine, regulation, employment and human rights, free movement and trade with your neighbours and as a block to your advantage, £20 The other box was full of, well nothing substantial, nothing of use, nothing of fact, but they promise, once you look under all the trash, you’ll find a genie with three wishes and a bag of magic beans that will solve all. The price? We’ll tell you once you’ve committed to buy. you decide for yourself which box is leave and which is remain. Johnson is a tool, a liar, a philanderer, a racist, misogynistic, did I mention a liar? If that kind of leadership is inspiring to you enough to vote for it, God help us.

^^ your opinion, not a fact IMO Don’t take yer baw hame as a conclusion Anyhoo's, we’re getting a new gang of bandits tae rob the lucrative WCML, First/Avanti, to be known as Avanti, which the MD of First told us was Italian for ‘forward’, he’s such a good egg that one All the Brexit supporting parties and voters must be delighted at all this European ownership of rail franchises, Italian, French, Dutch and German and all mostly state run

What’s fictitious in that video?

I saw one today in a Mazda dealership ffs!

I used the railways in the 80’s, never let me down. I lived in Holland and Germany, I would still not consider bombing the f#ck out of infrastructure to enable a better service. i work in the railways now, Maggz is right, safety takes 3rd place, I could go way in depth on this, but, to the everyday user, they don’t really care. Network rail are a public body, that’s trying to be run on a private, profit making basis, not as a national, critical infrastructure basis. The water infrastructure in Scotland is still in public hands and is thriving, public owned infrastructure can and always has supported private investment, unless it’s the Blairite, PPF initiative, that left me, you and everyone else in debt, to the same extent as the global crash. Can I just implore, any right thinking citizen, not to vote for the profit without public accountability that the Tories and particularly Johnson and his cronies are promoting.

I’m starting to like the look of these the more I look into them, in a couple of years I’d consider this or similar as a second car. The video gives an insight to what is behind the idea, not a bad watch

Oh but you have, to declare absolutely no interest in an EV in an EV thread, is showing an interest in EV’s

If Boris Johnson can and is capable to do all of the things and more that coldel mentions (only a snippet of his capabilities) to the people you would think that he most cares about, just think and reflect on what he would do to anyone he doesn’t know, all of the rest of us. i set out in my other post on this thread, Corbyn, being unelectable, is the problem, foisted on those who would like an alternative to the hedge fund management that a future Tory government will bring. Letting Momentum take over the Labour Party, has I’m afraid, led us into a brand of socialism that looks likely, from the Tories, that in any other time, may have had the prefix National. Johnson is a scary wee man, with a nose longer than Pinocchio and having his strings pulled by landed, self proclaimed privileged gentry.

Little bit more in-depth look at this....

Hmm....interested enough to keep posting about it....let it go man

Bill from CJ’s take

Super A real game changer

This whole mess lies fairly and squarely at Labours’ door. An unelectable leader, half the shadow cabinet unelectable to boot. Sat on the fence for 4 years and still bumbling on, what a mess they’re in. Some form of Brexit is inevitable, however the type of Brexit led by Johnson that we are likely to get is unpalatable if it leads to a conservative majority railroading it through, which will be more damaging than what their near 10 years of ‘austerity’ has achieved, to get us to this point. Villains and braggarts on both sides of the argument, but with one glaring certainty, there is NO better deal than the one we already have. The one that is known, the one that can be more influenced on the inside than from the outside. So bad is our countries position, that this country will take decades to recover from the continuing gamble perpetuated by the hedge fund and ex hedge fund managers, now running or wanting to run this country. Despairing times, I feel, IMO Another caveat for this thread, no links allowed please

Had this fitted today, wow in so many ways

2016 Mazda 2.2 diesel, £0 tax, loads of poke, clean car, by the time the diesel twats catch up with you, you’ll be in an EV

Jay Leno hit the head on the nail when he talked about the relationship with man and the horse re the onset of the automobile, all types of woe were eulogised as to the end of the horse. what happened instead was the horse moved on to leisure activities and didn’t disappear. Instead it moved onto a thing that was used at the weekends. Same thing will happen with the onset of electric cars and the same consequence of the combustion engine, it’ll be used For leisure. We’ll all be in EV’s in 5-10 years

Not updated my wee Mustang thread for donkeys, so a wee update. Upgraded the headers to 1” 7/8 dia and had a new tune installed, gone is the canned Dream Science 439 tune with JLT intake (intake still there), in comes the X Force Headers and bespoke Lund tune (500 dyno’d). Today the X Force with Varex smart box arrived, getting installed tomorrow. Gone the Ford Racing by Borla (3” from cats to 2.5” and a bit of a compromise adaptation ( X pipe had to go), to full 3” engine back system. Unfortunately, no pics of the headers, but here’s the X Force Cat Back: Should auger well for Whipple install forgot to add new 18 model manifold as well

Very similar I’d say, supercharged S550 by recognised Ford partnership tuner, the Roush puts out 720bhp. Same supercharger, some different cosmetics, Roush suspension, not FP, Roush active exhaust, RHD, 10 speed auto or 6 speed manual. Pretty much the same, here it is in the same Twister Orange, except in Oz https://www.ford.com.au/performance/mustang-rspec/
