Crashed...

by Charl 029, 21-04-2019, 09:43 AM

Very sad day for me on Friday on my way home for the weekend on the M25 when I wrote my car offf... Not been on the forum for much longer than a fortnight but still feel ashamed.



Between junction 29-30 Clockwise on the M25 I went into the back of a new BMW X5 (Owner worked for Lexus) as he stopped. I wasn't concentrating, totally my fault.ad: The X5 wasn't too badly damaged as it had a tow bar on the back. I had to climb out of the window to get out as the door was a little twisted, and took ages to pull it out of gear as well.

The recovery agency kicked off big time because my insurers had not told them that my car was lowered, and they scraped the hell out of the underside getting it onto the front lifter.

Had a long weekend of sorting out a new car from what little money I have in my savings. Bad times all round. Just thought I should post it up so that you dont think I've grown tired of the forums.

Is there anything off-the-shelf like this....

Basically I'm looking for a little box with screw terminals that I can feed Live/IGN/GND in on one side and have the box split it out to two or 3 sets of the same on the other side.

The image below is a quick sketchup of what I mean.

I'm just trying to make it easier for myself to add/remove devices from the car as I'm constantly swapping stuff out and it'd be much more beneficial if I could avoid re-soldering/crimping every single time.

Skinny white guy.....

Skinny white guy walks into a lift & looks up at a HUGE black guy !

Before he can blink, the black guy says

"before you ask, 7 foot tall, 350lbs, 20" **** and my balls wiegh 3lbs each, Turner Browns the name"

At which point, the white guy faints....

When he is resusitated, he asks the black to say that again...

The black guy repeats his stats and finishes saying my name is "Turner Brown"


"Thank **** for that" says the white guy....


I thought you said "TURN AROUND" !

Bonet (or hood) Ornaments.

Greeting peoples.

I'm slightly worried that one day, through no fault of my own, I may have to enter what is known as the golf club carpark. Now in such a place you see many cars with the following bonet badges.



I didn't want to use this one anyway for my car has been mistaken too many times for one of these.



I'm not a pornographer or footballer so this wouldn't work.



I do pay my taxes so that rules this one out.

As you can see they are all quite blingey and posh looking which made me feel like the bonet of my car is very much lacking in jewely which would abviously make me a laughing stock and people would be flailing their golf bats round in celebration of my bonets nudeness so I have come up with a few ides.



This one represents power but not speed.



This one represents friendship but not quite power or speed.



This one represents technilogical advancement but again no power or speed and once you switch it on it would probably fall off.



Now this one represents a can't be botherd attitude.

Just thought I'd put a few ideas out there to see what everyone thinks.
