That would work and keep the HGV firms happy too.

If there are a line of Truckers to contend with, motorists might think twice before some of the awful antics that regularly happen entering or exiting motorways.

Although I could see there would be some mega angry Truck drivers with this too a I am sure it would not stop everyone from cutting them up.

Remember too - Black Friday is next Friday.

For those that don't know this is a cheap shopping day which crowds queue up from silly hours in the morning - in the States.

In much larger towns and stores and bigger Internet Sites (Amazon is one) - it is now very popular here in the UK too.

Good way to purchase Christmas shopping much cheaper.

If all HGV's were stopped from driving during Rush Hour times, surely this would help the flow of traffic hugely ?

I know 2 HGV drivers, who both think this and believe it would make sense.

Of course logistically for the HGV firms it might prove a nightmare. But surely something could be worked.

What a nice little find, some stunning motors in there !!!!!!!!!!

Petrolhead Heaven !!

Me too - please x 1

Just a big Lottery win but failing that I will settle for a Cayman for now !!

 

...And some people think women are hard to please?!

 

Watch it - you might just like what I would be spending my Lottery Monies on as there are plenty of cars, tracks etc planned......... plus loads more !!!

And invites to join in the fun - to a chosen few ..........nice people !!!!! ...................

Just a big Lottery win but failing that I will settle for a Cayman for now !!

What kind of price are these calendars likley to be when they go on sale ?

Anythink, Nothink, everythink - drives me mad.

When did the G get replaced for a K ?

So, I believe generally replaced Anyway - mainly used in not knowing how to start the next topic of converstion piece - I reckon ? !

I have quite a few friends from the North - it's quite amusing the differing ways in which we speak and words we use.

The banter between us can certainly become quite heated and very amusing at times !!

There are also the times, when I have no idea what they are trying to say, using words just made up so Southerners do not have a clue what is going on !!!!

I only offered my view, based on the question being asked and my experience.

I am presuming you are new to being Self Employed and Charging out your rates etc.

Therefore I would suggest you decided what rate you wish to charge for all your work irrelevant of who they are or what they are currently being charged.

Business People talk, so it is not a good idea to charge different rates unless you have a good reason for doing so.

Just my opinion..

I love fireworks, bonfires and the winter BBQ too .

I do not own dogs but actually find this irrelevant, (not being rude to the dog owners) as I do not actually see why we need fireworks more than on the 5th November or a few days either side.

I am sure years back this was how it was and pet owners prepared in whatever way they could - knowing it was for a very limited time.

If we try an accomodate everybody on everything, we would have fireworks any day or night throughout the year - which is what happens in many of the Southern European and Latin American Countries...........Maybe we should think ourselves lucky.

Serioulsy - What about Hypnosis for Dogs for Fireworks ? There must be something to help calm dear Pooch.

I have done this too - most embarrassingly.

Usual sort of thing for the foolish things too - midnight - on a tiny country lane that I had to turn around on. Pitch black as you would expect at this time ! and I reversed back just a few inches too far, dropping onto the wet grass verge. I stopped got out and checked and really thought I had been lucky and would get out of this if I was careful. No, I was shocked, as I so carefully did not put on masses of power, but seriously no grip. At this time I really did not know where the Traction Control switch was and no looking for it in the heat of the moment located it either. The male friend who I was with - gingerly asked if he might try - knowing I would not take kindly to this, nor would I even be impressed if he got it out. I know, I know !!! So a very mixed up emotion when he did not succeed either. One I was still in this dilemma, Two - Yes !!! He did not manage it either. Fortunately I did have some of the canvass style shopping bags in the boot, (knowing I had to get some grip from something - ( due to a similar experience in the Bordeaux Forest - which is very sandy in a 36ft, 6 Ton double axle American Motorhome some 20 years earlier - another story) so we dug these under the rear wheels as much as was possible - and I eventually got some grip and naturally a muddy, grass covered car and amusing tale to tell

Despite now being very late when I got home, I immediately read up on the location of the Traction Control.

It certainly makes you feel better to know others have had sinilar antics in their cars too - and also manage to resolve the issues without too much pain !!

Good to know you lot are really supportive to a friend in need !!!

I am sure you can obtain these easily now too.

Is all the camping booked ( for anyone interested)?

 

Looks like I will have to start renting out the spare beds living within 14 miles........and with secure parking!

And - me thinks you are a brave man announcing that on here - bound to be taken up on this !! :-)

I have been loads of times, my favorite show..... although I did the Revival for the first time this year - Wow !!

I like to have 2 days then you don't feel like you are missing loads of it, besides the show is huge now and cannot be done in a day.

I think some of the Static stuff is Interesting - especially if you have never been before.

I would aim for Friday and Saturday but not Sunday.

I then have always stayed locally Thursday night, and aim to be at the Gates for 8am, no queues at this time, but still many people around and a steady flow of traffic.

Annoyingly I only looked for Hotels about a week back and like you have not had to be too choosy, I was after 4 rooms mind and not actually sure if i will be attending, but also can cancel these.

Just incase anyone is looking for Hotels for the Revival in 2015, I could not find multiple rooms in any Hotel within 30 miles of Goodwood.

Welcome.

Now that looks like a good trip - across the Alps and everything ? !!!!

Snow Drifting, Ice Driving - if only !!

My username is my name - Wow - revalation there !!!.

Personally I find it a pain - you get to know someone's username - then rarely their real name, or if you do you don't connect the two.

Or is that just me ? Anyway I find one name hard enough to remember so I just like to keep it simple.

I have masses of different passwords - if that makes up for it !! None of which I remember though !!! :-)

I am glad you and everyone is OK and nothing apart from your back door was broken or stolen.

An amusing tale - to lighten things up..............

I was broken into - I was about 19 at the time, living in a flat in a Victorian House of 5 flats.

They stole goods from all the other flats - and nothing from mine !!

Even the Coppers laughed - I was so broke - I really had nothing worth stealing.

It was a wonder they did not leave me something !!! :-)

Never lived it down to this day..... :lol:

Seriously - The majority of the time when I leave either of my cars, I have a crook lock on them- which also rather helps when not at home.

I know they can also get through these easily - its just that extra 30 seconds though - that do act to deter them.

Then I also live next door to an Ex Copper - who is out the door at a mumour of anything.

One time I came home after a holiday - (unknown to him - I was back), he was out his door into my drive in a flash as I started the car up.

Congratulations.

I am more than aware how big a job/task this is.

I am sure your work will be much appreciated and supported.

Everyman Racing do loads of this, at a variety of circuits and a good range of vehicles.

Price varys on how many laps you want and which cars.

Done quite a few with them and would happily recommend them

I kerbed my offside front the other day, just trying to avoid this landrover taking a corner too wide and forcing me too far over to the left.

Its when you hear the scrapping sound that makes you gringe to the bottom of your stomach.

I know in the scheme of things it really is relatively minor and of small cost - but it really does not help at the time.

I too have had to learn I really cannot let these things upset me so much that I beat myself up about them for weeks.

I actually thinks it certainly helps mind with a bit of more spare income and second car though.

Good Luck in getting this repair done quickly and cheapily.

None the less something else to sort out !!!

Hardly a wonder life whizzes by so fast.............

Much rather Nico in pole than Hamilton.

At least Nico has a personality and does not whinge, moan and blame everything but himself all the time.

Not a Hamilton fan - think it might show !!!!

It won't be there in 3 weeks.

The dismantling starts on the 11th November, Remembrance Sunday - although amny people are hoping it stays longer.

Roll Call is daily at 16.55pm
