I guess now we’ve had a bunch of rain, Facebook reels is serving me up a load of car drives through ford clips. Some appear to make it, others not so much.
I don’t understand these drivers – this is going to be a loss of £000s or even £0000s and all the inconvenience.
What I particularly don’t understand is seeing that there is someone gleefully filming the ford waiting for some unfortunate soul and still thinking “yeah, I can probably make that”. Unless they’re all in it together and monetising the resulting (annoying compulsive) viewing.
”… also, you can fit a door or a three-foot length of pipe in it,”Ah yes, no option other than using a 2.5 tonne Land Rover to carry [checks notes] 90cm of pipe.
Edited – to be fair, the bloke actually said “a three-metre length of pipe”. But I’m keeping the pic.
Edited again – from the comments on the BBC story, it looks like maybe Chris correctly quoted the article as it stood this morning, in which the BBC had incorrectly quoted the guy as saying “three foot”! They’ve now changed it to metres. Still keeping the pic.

It’s not the size of the occupants that matters (three adults can squeeze in) but the size of the seat the child is legally required to have. Though why you would want three anyway I can’t fathom.

I’m not defending it. We can still ridicule it while quoting him accurately!

But why would the dog need to come along for her partial commute to the bus stop?

BBC have just decided to notice: the numbers show that cars are getting bigger.This caption pissed me off – not a question that (for obvious reasons) is addressed at all in the article.

It may not make the colour any more palatable to you or your mate (though I quite like it) but surely it’s “Savoy blue” or “Azzurri” blue (aka tautologous blue!)?

What does it anticipate them
What does it anticipate them being made of? Some of these have the appearance of a metal badge but a perhaps impractical amount of design detail / colour.
On a similar theme, I have occasionally daydreamed about the design of my personal team jersey, including sponsors. I concluded they’d mostly be purveyors of junk food – perhaps with a printed burrito emerging from the centre pocket.

Also, if you do this, you have to accept you’ll end up with three damper pedals.

This really doesn’t address the question; I don’t know how suitable this product actually is; and it may not be to your tastes anyway but, re: touching up a bike that has a lot of stories:
“Every scratch tells a story. Goldfinger, made in the UK, lets you embrace that history instead of hiding it. Inspired by the Japanese art of kintsugi, this metallic compound fills scrapes and scratches with a radiant gold or silver finish, turning ordinary wear into marks of character. Over time, your frame’s patina becomes a record of rides, adventures, and memories—made even more beautiful with a touch of shine.”
