I hate when you are in the middle of sorting out a deal with someone and they suddenly go quiet.

My wife's Mini One hatchback's front and rear brake pads need changing. Mini is now serviced by BMW so I called them up to get a quote for parts and labour and they said £680. Six hundred and eighty mother******* pounds. I managed to haggle them down to £580 but that's still more expensive than the complete set of Brembo pads on my 17 Mustang. I can't even find the complete set of genuine pads online for the mini and dont want to risk putting squeaky aftermarket brakes in. Suffice to say, this is the last time me or my wife will ever buy a German car and will likely sell the vehicle soon as a result of this. God only knows what they will charge for other parts or repairs the car may need in the future. Its not even like the mini needs any stopping power, its 1 litre. How can the pads cost the same as those on a 5 litre car? BMW are such a rip off. £580 main dealer for genuine parts brake pads is not bad at all. Probably 3 hours labour @ £100 per hour, leaves £280 for 4 pairs of BMW pads is pretty good seeing as budget pads are around £40 A pair

Probably 3 hours labour @ £100 per hour, leaves £280 for 4 pairs of BMW pads is pretty good seeing as budget pads are around £40 A pair Its a rip off. Big time. Its a Mini One. A very small car with a very small engine. Even if the pads are made by BMW they don't need the stopping power of a freight train lol. Their parts are eye-wateringly over-priced. And £100 per hour labour is a scam, its probably an apprentice changing the brakes, not an M Power master technician. Like I said, my Mustang's Brembo pads are nowhere near that price. I consider Brembo pads for a 5 litre Mustang to be better then whatever rubbish BMW are slapping on a 1 litre Mini. Ford charge £50 an hour labour where I am, less sometimes. My Focus ST used to cost £150 for front and rear pads and labour at main dealers. Its so strange because I can get genuine Mini pads front and back for under £100 total online but the particular car my wife has got is so hard to find brake pads for. How on earth do BMW think £680 is acceptable? Like I said, BMW are a rip off. They done this on purpose with this car. Pi**es me off so much.

Slow drivers that stay in the left lane... Left lane is for fast lane drivers, right lanes are for slow. Pretty easy ing concept.

This forum has thrived off of the report button for quite some time now. You can basically spew whatever BS you want if the mods and admins like you.
If not, prepare yourself to receive the “you’ve been banned from this forum” when trying to log in at some point.

Traffic today really got to me. Slow drivers in town, slow on the freeway, slow in the passing lane, slow to take off when the light was green. Man today was 1 of those days.

Watching tonight’s Supergirl episode for the third time tonight, because my dvd recorder is on its way out so the episode failed to save to the disc twice now.

The fact that the movie "Brain Donors" gets nowhere NEAR the recognition it deserves.

I think I pinched a nerve in my shoulder so that's been annoying. My mom got a pinched nerve in her back and she can't even get around. She's already had a surgery and shots and it hasn't helped .Ive never had one but they must be rough ive never heard her complain about any kind of pain but this is got her she can't even get out of bed some days . Hope yours gets better man . In all seriousness- try acupuncture. I had a slipped disc & a pinched nerve in my back. I couldn't walk straight or tie my own shoes. After the 4th treatment, the pain subsided and I was mobile again.

YouTube deleting my song for hate speech. Yes,it expressed my anti radleft opinion. But it didn't slur or even curse. It didn't attack anyone's faith or ethnicity or lifestyle,because despite 2018's definition,I am not prejudiced regarding any of those things. New lyrics, different title,basically the same subject matter. Hopefully this time it's sanitary enough to be posted. I worked too hard on it to scrap it.
