I inherited mine from my stepdad, it reminds me of him, so no I don’t agree

PRINGLES

Why do they put them in a tube ?

A tube that you cant fit your hand in, so when you've scoffed the first 5 inches or so, you cant reach the rest.

OK you can tilt the tube and get the crisps to slide down the tube to the open end but then you get covered in crumbs.

There needs to be a redesign of this tube so the crisps are automatically delivered to the open end of the tube.

Not good enough..........thats all.

Now then

Empties make nice storage for nuts bolts washers….Win, Win.

The Pringles thing has been playing on my mind for years too

There's one by me about 20 who's got one. Goes back and forth multiple times a day on a primarily elderly persons' estate with a booming exhaust.

The monarch doesn't need to have a number plate so could say they have the most private plate of all but it's not likely they'll be doing handbrake turns on old people's estates lol. QE2 did have the private plate MYT1, ahh these ruffians with private plates.

Edit (because this would be funnier) - The queen had private plate MYT1 (mighty one) and the plate somehow seemed to posses her, it made her fit a boomy exhaust and do handbrake turns on old people's estates. She always drove sensibly before getting the private plate, did some driving for the forces too.

 

[Elgraman]

ahh these ruffians with private plates.

lol, I wouldn't say that. I was subject to being loon overtaken in the wet in a 30 zone in pretty dense traffic the other day (monday), by a 'Becky' by the gist of the plate
Still waiting for a Heidi or a Harriet or a Miles to do the same

Between us my wife and I have 3 cars all with personal plates which all mean something to us and have been on a number of our cars over quite a few years.

I enjoy modifying and personalizing my cars and I think that a personal plate is a great way to help in this.

Quite apart from anything else I find it quite handy as I know all the registrations by heart which would not be the case if each time we changed car I had to try to remember a new number

We have had these plates on some quite high value cars over the years including Porches, Mercs and BMW's.

None of the plates that we have now are specific car related although quite a few years back I did buy a couple that were and when I sold the cars done quite well out of selling the plates making a decent profit over what I had paid for them.




The SL55 AMG on the far right is mine KF53 FLY (picture taken at a AMG Private Lounge Club meeting)

This plate has been on several of my cars including a Porsche 911 and a Merc CLS AMG shooting brake.

It is relevant to me in that the KF are my initials and the 53 is the year I was born and the FLY is self explanatory as we have had for a number of years at least one fast car that this plate goes on.




The personal plate on my Elgrand.

I bought this plate when I bought my Elgrand in 2019 as I wanted a shorty plate to fit on the back so that I did not have to fit a square number plate.

The cost of this plate was actually less than what I sold the personal plate that had come on my AMG when I bought it which meant nothing to me.

The KRF are my full initials and the G for grand which is what we call our Elgrand

Our other personal plate is on my wife's BMW650I and is a combination of her day and date of birth plus initials

I do not think that these plates look at all chavy and in my opinion add a bit more personalization while still being pretty low key.

From your more recent posts it seems to me that you feel that anybody with a personal plate is a chav with a boomy exhaust who drives irresponsibility.

In my personal experience this is the complete opposite of the truth and that by far the majority of people who buy and fit personal plates do so on well looked and more high end cars and have nothing to prove.

In my opinion the chav is much more likely to be an owner of a slightly warmed up Ford, Audi or VW hatchback who think they have a fast car rather than someone with a personal plate and over the years I have had many of these reving there engines next to me at traffic lights but have never bothered to waste the fuel just to prove a point.

Nope, no I don't, and not for the first time you've made an assumption regarding me or my intentions which is false.

Back before I left the sinking ship, this was my fleet. Still have them all but there are no private plates in France as they believe being flash is a bit vulgar and cars/bikes aren't revered in the same way that they are in the rest of the world. I feel lucky that I have got away with having a Japanese sized numberplate for the Elgrand, as the legal size is way too big for the recess and would have to be mounted outside. Happily, bike plates are smaller.

Going back to the late 70's my wife had a 1971 mk3 Mini Cooper 1275S with the original reg of TAM 1J.

When I sold the car I phoned up a couple of registration sellers to see if they would be interested in it only to be told that it had no value so I sold it with the car.

I would have thought the car is long gone by now but I have just checked and the plate is now on a 2020 Ford Transit Custom.

Not so much worried about the plate but wish I still had the Mini.

Insert punchlines here:

 

[Gwilo365]

I'm pondering tyre pressures, not Elgrand specifically, but bear with me, as the same will hold true for any vehicle.
Manufacturers give tyre pressures for "half" and "full" loads of passengers and luggage.
Perceived wisdom is it's best to do when tyres are cold/before your journey.
Course, I've noticed through extensive testing these last two weeks, that working ten minutes of setting off, the TPMS is reporting pressures 3-4psi higher than the recommendation for a full load. This bothered me sufficiently that I pulled over and spent a miserable five minutes circling the car letting out air and waiting for the TPMS to catch up...several times to get to, or 1 psi under, the manufacturer figures, assuming that as was fully loaded and planning on doing the NSL for at least two hours, the tyres would get a bit warmer than still. (Which they did, ended up with 2 psi over on fronts, 1 psi over on rear) By journey end.

Was I being over cautious? Do manufacturers consider the heating and increased pressure when calculating these figures? I wonder this because 43psi feels stupidly high, when under load and speed it heading for 47/48....don't think standard mid range tyres are rated to take that for long (but could be wrong).

 

[Highway Dave]

Always set tyre pressure when cold before any journey
If you think, both car and tyre manufacturers give max pressure etc and will have researched vigorously the effects of heat build up and to the same extent the effects of cold
What you have to remember is that vehicle manufacturers will give settings keeping a certain tyre size in mind whereas tyre manufacturers give settings for that particular tyre (as in max pressure etc ) this gives quite a lot of wiggle room especially if using different wheel/tyre combo to specified .
TPMS “ which I dislike intensely “ makes things awkward as they expect the tyre to be of certain specifications and same with the wheels especially on newer cars where they can cause problems

I think to cut things short , what I mean is, yes , your being over cautious if it’s just a couple of psi and I’m guilty of rambling on a bit lol

When you take him out later take some white spirit with you, I don't think you will pick it up with a bag! If anybody steps in it they will won't slip they'll be stuck to the pavement.
