Parked with a nice rounded odometer reading. Wish I could do that at the pumps, always rounds up by 1p!

Depends on the size of the lounge, I have an 83" Sony wall mounted, still looks small from 23ft away on the 30ft wall. Home cinemas tend to have screens over 100". Large screens require 4 or 8k resolution to not look grainy..

You are far away, I see loads of people with massive TV's sitting really close to them, was speaking to a Friend who is the Sales Manager for B&O and they really measure the room before suggesting TV sizes, I have a 55" LG G1 but only sit 2.5m away which is the perfect size, it also depends on the screen resolution

My 4K 65" Panasonic looks huge on my media wall. I sit around 4 metres away.

Nice media wall, waiting for ours, I wanted plain plaster finish like yours as it blends but wife wants illuminated glass shelves and a bit fancy, we can't agree currently. Did you use a local chippy to build it?

I used a local handyman. I wanted particle board rather than the plaster sheets that he suggested as the TV is a top of the range with Dolby Atmos so is heavier than a normal 65". It is actually fixed to the wall rather than the 2" x 4" frame.
I like the minimalist look and the "feng Shui" of it all

I was going to borrow this type of design but didn't have enough room for the doors to open

Bought this yesterday. Complete with the private reg., the Bluetooth module which is about £200 I believe, and a full car cover worth around £200 or £300.
Drives lovely , just got a couple of mechanical/ electrical issues which I need to sort and also some cosmetic ones, not least the horrendous cheap plastic "chrome" headlight, rear light, rear brake light and boot trims some lunatic has put on the car.
Got them off in about 10 minutes but I think its going to take 3 daps to remove the silicone sealant used to fix them to the lights!

Welcome to the club, hope you have good nerves

Failed at using the old Golf front wipers for the rear of my S211 bidet, wrong type of blade. Spare car blade no better despite having a star on it next to the Bosch. New one reassuringly expensive at £6 something in Halfords. The Bosch aero Turbo nutter b'stard upgrade for my car was the only one not in stock!

Insured my car today ... it's gone up 27% to £376.37

Cheap. My son's went up from £357 to £1050, he'll be shopping around......

I think the biggest scammers are the insurer's

Erm, meaning? *shuffles feet nervously*

when I swopped the insurance from our A160CDI to my SL350 it went up by £4.71
There are (very) occasional benefits to being an auld arse

No, the VED is the biggest scam

He means welcome but the R230 SL with abc and sbc can be expensive to run if they develop suspension or brake issues (have a little search on here under R230)...

Hopefully yours has had all the known issues recently sorted.

The 350 doesn’t have the air suspension. Thanks for the search tip

 

[sl500amgsport]

The 350 is usually OK provided boot seals are all good, just lift the carpet and check...

I can go much much faster than that in my 799cc 54 bhp of raw diesel power smart car…
Did you spend the day driving around central London?

I did!

Miserable. And I stopped by the workshop on the way back to handover some cars.

Money light is on, is it upset at going so slow?
