Yeah she’s awesome. Doesn’t like roundabouts though 😂

A woman is cooking eggs in the kitchen. Suddenly the husband runs in and starts screaming, “Oh my god oh my god! Put some more butter in them!” Wife is startled by husbands reaction and runs to the fridge to get more butter. “Oh my god you’re cooking too many at once! Turn them now! QUICK QUICK TURN THEM!” Wife, concerned about her husbands mental state forgets the butter and starts to turn the eggs. “BUTTER! BUTTER! WE NEED BUTTER! THEY ARE GOING TO STICK TO THE PAN! QUICK!” Wife runs back to the fridge. “CAREFUL ABOUT THE EGGS! YOU NEVER LISTEN TO ME WHEN YOURE COOKING!!! TURN THEM QUICK! YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO COOK? ARE YOU CRAZY?” Wife starts crying. She is confused and has no idea what to do. “What is wrong with you? I know how to cook” Husband smiles and replies “I know, I just you you to see how it feels when I’m driving in the car with you” and walks calmly away.

If your child is being a dick, man up. You are the parent. Tell them if they don’t strap in, the car won’t move. I have an asshole brother before. He refused to put his seatbelt on because he’s too cool for school. One day I stamped on the brakes because a goat ran out in the road. My brother went through the windscreen and his face is scarred as fuck. He didn’t wear a seatbelt. There is nothing cool about acting the hardass. Protect yourself. Protect your children

I stopped eating pork around 2 years so I wouldn’t do an Irish fry up now. I did miss my irish breakfast breads though, particularly soda farl and potato bread. God bless Mrs B, she learned how to make them and every so often she will surprise me with some fresh irish bread. Ive never been to the Irish village but I hear they have a new place in studio city so I might go and check it out.

I do. I got them in the ladies section in max a few months ago. It’s not who the pants were made for, it’s how you wear them

Every day I drive I see children bouncing around in the back seat. Lets tell an honest story. If you get in an accident, the people who are strapped in might be safe. Anyone who isn’t strapped in will get flung around. Their dead body will bounce around inside the car and break everyone’s neck. If you see someone driving with unrestrained babies, call them out on it. If you care about your child you will keep them safe

How do you think transport will be in 200 years? Obviously we will all be dead and gone. The dinosaur juice will have run out long ago. The people have rebelled against electric cars 100 years ago because mining lithium is destroying the planet. What do you think the people in the future will do for transportation and how will they make it work? Will they ruin the planet to the point where everyone goes back to riding horses again?

I used to be scared of police before. In my country they will pull you out of the car and beat you up for fun. I can show you the broken fingers to testify. In UAE I have always found the police to be decent and helpful and willing to listen to both sides of the argument. If you’re not doing anything illegal there’s nothing to worry about.

I’m not a huge fan either but I have a few albums and I appreciate them. Plus not many big bands come here so when one does it’s an excuse to get out and show off your leather pants.

For me it has to be getting hit from behind. You get stuck in a phantom traffic jam, put your hazard lights on. When you look in the rear view mirror you see someone closing up fast behind and think shit shit shit I hope this guy is going to see me and stop in time. Getting hit from behind has to be one of the worst things ever. Your whole day gets ruined because someone else wasn’t paying attention to the road then you lose so much time trying to get your car repaired when it wasn’t even your fault.

Thinking about getting tickets for this. Anyone else?

Having sand in moving parts, ie suspension, drive shafts, brakes etc is never a good thing. It’s always better to wash it off when possible. There are some cool little 12v pressure washers available in dragon mart that hook up to the car battery. They are never going to put up as much pressure as a 240v machine but it’s better than a hose pipe and good enough to wash sand off things. They use surprisingly little water too. A 20 litre bucket is usually enough to wash a car.

@Carnity why not organise a “diff” maybe once a month where people could come and blow off some steam. It is stupid, I won’t deny it. But it gives young folks somewhere safe to go and blow off some steam. Outside of the 4x4 world there is nowhere for petrol heads to have any fun. The autodrome and yas marina are prohibiivey expensive. And they wonder why kids street race and drift between villas? professional racing is one thing but the kids need something to aspire to

Any turbo will have lag but if you go for something small like a T25, it will spool up a lot faster and start making power at 2-2.5k. You won’t get as much power as say, a T4 or T5 but it will be a noticeable increase and lag will be reduced. There are options. You can run a twin turbo setup. Not the standard one on each side, a small turbo that feeds air to a bigger turbo. I did this on a Subaru I owned before and got an extra 150 bhp. Problem is this takes up a lot of space and you will need to get a lot of custom stuff made. But, the power is always there and the harder you rev, the more power you make. Superchargers are awesome for making power all the time but it will cost you more. If you want to go quick, cheap and nasty, fit a nitrous kit. They are cheap and easy to fit. You can fit the whole kit in a few hours. When you need an extra boost when climbing dunes etc, just hit the button and you can have 50-500 bhp depending on the kit.

I think I could get good MPG out of this. All my friends say I’m the biggest bullshitter they know

I remember a video going around, maybe last year, some local kids were doing donuts in a patrol on city walk. Sheik Mo put them to street cleaning duty as punishment. Good punishment. I love donuts but there’s a time and a place. In Ireland we have a thing called diff events. Every weekend there’s 10-20 going on around the country. Somebody rents a farmyard or a car park out of the way. Drivers usually get in for free and passengers and spectators pay a small fee to cover costs, £5 or £10 max. The drivers go in and do their thing, change their tyres and go home. It takes a lot of the idiots off the road and people can blow off some steam without getting in trouble. Something like that here could help a lot.

I never had anyone put petrol in my car until I came to uae. It’s just not a thing where I’m from. You fill your own car. I don’t understand the mentality of the petrol companies paying people to stand on the forecourts but I just roll with it. When in Rome.....

Can’t say much about the off road capability but throw some matt black on it and it would be a bad ass apocalypse car

https://gulfnews.com/uae/transport/video-man-in-al-ain-fined-dh40000-jail-for-car-donuts-1.1572420661014 Some things to take away from this article, Doing donuts is not hazardous to the driver. Irresponsible in a public place yes, but nobody has ever died doing a donut Donuts do not occur when a “strain is placed on the vehicles suspension” Finally, the guy wasn’t even doing donuts. From the road markings on the picture, he was fishtailing and doing burnouts I really hate lazy and uninformed reporting

What stopped them from grabbing a stone and breaking a window? Any car window will break if you hit it in the bottom corner

https://m.lingscars.com/ For context, Ling is a crazy Chinese lady who moved to the UK years ago with dreams of being a car dealer. She is constantly in court for fraud. I remember a few years ago she got arrested for selling “brand new deloreans” for £15,000. (75k dhs). Delorean stopped making cars in 1983.She never stops. but just check out that crazy website. It’s like something 15 year old me would have created in HTML and spent 3 days uploading it on my 56k connection which could barely reach 28k.

From 2013-2018 there have been 14 recorded instances of Tesla cars catching fire. Source : https://www.autoblog.com/2018/05/11/a-list-of-tesla-car-fires-since-2013/ this latest brings it up to 15. 15 cars in 6 years is an average of just over 2 cars per year. To put this into context, it is estimated that up to 180 people died in fires in the Ford Pinto between 1971-1975. Source : https://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/a6700/top-automotive-engineering-failures-ford-pinto-fuel-tanks/ When you read the original link I posted about Tesla fires, you will see that most of the cars that caught fire were involved in accidents. Any car can catch fire after an accident. Articles like this are nothing more than a ploy to get clicks and generate advertising revenue. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not an Elon Musk fanboi but 2 cars per year catching fire after an accident isn’t news. It’s normal, and it’s pretty impressive the figure is so low. Some people just like to hate on new technology and use small failures to line their own pockets. Do your own research, don’t believe everything the media feeds you. Bonus fact : electric cars are nothing new. The first driveable electric car was produced by William Morrison in 1890.
