ricof Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 Btw, I paid 600 plus vat for the OSF to NSF brake pipes to be replaced. They did also inspect all the other pipes and cleaned them up and re-waxed them. Back street garage in SW London but recommended by a specialist classic car dealer.

BBB Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 I got the “service due in 23 days” message and as I had already replaced the oil myself, I reset the oil reminder using an icarsoft POR 2.0. That was a nice feeling to be able to do it myself instead of having to pay someone else to do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One deep scratch and some scuffing. Will need painting and new indicator lense but no dent. On the plus side, at least they fessed up and left their details. They’ve agreed to pay to get it fixed if I get quotes. Merry Christmas! I once left my car at a railway station car park. Returned to find it dinged and a note stuffed into the car (convertible). The note said, " Sorry, I hit your car. " No details supplied. Thankfully, there was a second note also. It said, " I saw a van hit your car. The driver left a note but I decided to write down his details just in case. Reg No, make, colour and livery on the van." I will never forget the diligence & kindness of that witness and will pay it forward if I see an unattended prang in the future. The van driver was properly miffed when traced & made (by his company) to pay for the damage out of his own pocket. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long before dashcams I was following a car that tw*tted a wing mirror off a parked car and kept going. On the way home from work, the car was still sitting there and it was outside a coffee shop in Eaglesham. So I went in to see if they knew who's car it was. When I enquired the woman said "was it you?" And I said no, but I've got the deets of who did. Turns out the car was the coffee shops owners and she was so grateful that she gave me two huge wedges of cake. 🌝 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul P Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 I returned to my car in a car park to a note that said. “Sorry hit your car front bumper - mobile number xxxxxxxx” small dink on the front bumper. I got two quotes one for 750 one for a grand. Complete nonsense. Bodyshop markup. I contacted the person who left the note. They were happy to pay but at those numbers it was insurance - and that’s a world of hate for all of us. “You had a no fault claim last year. Our data shows you are more likely to have a fault claim next year that will be an extra 100 quid” I was not prepared to participate in the daylight robbery / closed shop that is car insurance and repair business. So I called the “perp”, said thanks for leaving the note, not playing the game, and have a nice life and put it down to one of those things. If karma exists then cool. I got some. If not then those thieving conniving b*st*rds didn’t win so still cool. motor insurance needs the same scrutiny the banks have had. They are thieves. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iborguk Posted January 1, 2023 Report Share Posted January 1, 2023 (edited) So image link embedding is a bit different with google drive images. Select the image, hit the 3 dots (top right), select embed item and copy the html code. On the BoXa post you're creating select Source and paste the code you were given at embed item. Then hit Source again to return to the regular view for the post and voila ! Rinse and repeat for each image. @BERGS2 Edited January 1, 2023 by iborguk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Select the Google drive image. Hit the 3 dots (top right) for "More actions" whilst viewing the image. Select the option Embed item.

BERGS2 Posted January 1, 2023 Report Share Posted January 1, 2023 Thanks - I must seem like a total retard on this stuff - so - am on a macbook, with all photos in Photos (the apple one) having to copy into google drive, and then 'share link' to get the code... for whatever reason i can see any 'source' button when posting or any 'embed item' option when looking at G-grive through the apple finder.... is that the 'code' <> button?... I'm sure all of this used to be a piece of pi$$..... 😂 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pbngcUzSdZ6BshsvkwCXw3FLY09yBPaB/view?usp=sharing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The three dots , embed item stuff can be seen when viewing the photos on google drive itself via the Google web links for each image (not Apple finder). So for example you'll see those options at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1n31677U4FsRsjdsPRMpKhdVKm9tW9mcV/view So when creating a post on BoXa you should see the Source option as per the screenshot (shown next to my Avatar pic in the screen shot below). Select the Source option Copy the code from the Embed item option Select the Source option again and you'll be given the regular post view and your photo should appear...

iborguk Posted January 1, 2023 Report Share Posted January 1, 2023 (edited) Maybe as a “site contributer” I see the Source button, try the <> option as you mentioned. I don’t know why you don’t see the three dots (more actions option) on your own Google image view. I’m also using a Mac and Safari to view the image links posted. Maybe give up on Google Drive and use Flickr/Imgur 🙃 Edited January 1, 2023 by iborguk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
temporarychicken Posted January 1, 2023 Report Share Posted January 1, 2023 Hope it gets sorted. Everyone loves pics. Why do the wheels on the black car keep changing colour as I scroll lol? I'm guessing summer/winter setups? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
