Restrictions for users with @outlook.com and @hotmail.com addresses - RESOLVED

by xantia_v6 » 30 May 2019, 16:07 » in Forum News, Announcements and Issues

First post

We cannot currently deliver notification or registration emails to users with @outlook.com an @hotmail.com email addresses.

There appears to be nothing that we can do...

Last post

Finally, after a month of sending repeated support requests to Microsoft, and spending quite a bit of time researching and rewriting some of the forum software to be more RFC compliant, we have been advised that Microsoft are no longer blocking our emails.

Note that in the meantime, to reduce the quantity of bounced emails, we have adjusted the...

Does anyone have the pics of the Xantia coupe concept?
I found it on a website some time ago but can't find the site now.

Cheers

I get the feeling that peugeot stopped the Xantia coupe & most probably the ZX Cabro too. Both are very pretty cars that would have sold well, maybe Pug we're worried they'd sell too well.

Idiot Drivers

First post

Had an interesting experience whilst driving this evening.

On my way to a diused factory to do a spot of shooting (archery, with a local club, before anyone gets worried.) was driving along at about 60 when I saw a cyclist or two going the other way being overtaken by two cars.

I slowed down a bit and then realised that car number two (driver...

I got his number plate, unfortunately missed the ******* on his phone's plate. Do I bother to do anything about this, i.e. report his driving to the police? If so whats the best way to go about this?

You could report it to the local station, what will happen after that depends on the force or even the officer (more likely a civvy) you deal...

Off subject - UK insurance

hi Guys.. can anyone clarify the rules concerning the UK insurance entitlement which allows me to drive another vehicle not owned by me?

I have a Motorbike, and I think its been sold to a guy in Wolverhampton. If he is the new owner, does this mean I am covered to deliver it to him?

By 'new owner' - can this be a paper document saying the bike...

Bizarre Insurance Loadings

by CitroJim » 19 Jul 2006, 16:07

First post

I have just had a very strange conversation with an insurance company..

My father, who is 82 and has been with this company for over 40 years totally accident free has just received his renewal invitation for the staggering sum of £318 to insure his Peugeot 205 D Junior. I am with the same company and have a virtually identical policy. I paid...

Last post

I crashed my Diesel Savanna last year and replaced it with a TD Xantia, which I thought was several groups higher. The combination of accident (the claim for which went 50/50) and a faster car seems to have knocked 30% off my premium with the same company.

Got a spare V8 lying about?

Not a car, I know, but watch this and admire the fun-loving insanity prevelant amongst backwoodsmen in the USA............ :shock:

Obviously too much time on their hands but isn't it great that there are still people around who would even consider doing this sort of thing?!!!

Watch and enjoy.......

Even they must now be taking their 5+ litre petrol V8's out of their pickups to swap for diesels... :lol:

XM diesel info

I wouldn't mind a diesel XM. Has anyone got any details? MPG etc.

Can't see much on the web these days.

Thanks.

Last post

I had a 2.5TD exclusive and it returned a regular 40+mpg on average. It had enough grunt to leave the beemers for dust and their owners looking shocked at the huge, dirty, thunderbird 2 styled monstrosity wafting past or away from them. Certainly the most comfy car I've had.

A lot of info here:
including a useful section on how to run your car...

Hi

While my 206 is having a new door fitted I have been given a 1.4 Golf mk 5 to drive around in.

This is the first car ive driven with ESP fitted & I must say im impressed so far with it.

The system worked lovely as I provoked it going round a roundabout, Light flashed, power cut, brakes applied & the car came back on line, all under in half a...

I read recently that there's a move to remove many of the speed humps in the UK as they are now becoming a hinderance to the emergency services. Obviously they will still be on private roads/land like car parks, but hopefully they won't be littering the roads for very much longer.

Yet another case in point, where rather than educate the driver as...

It Floats !

by ACTIVE8 » 02 May 2006, 17:58

First post

Well apparently this motorhome can go in the water, but if you have $850.000 dollars then you could have more fun with a proper boat, that you tow behind one of these huge RVs.

So, if they can make this float then, what will they think of next for the millionaire with more money than sense. :)

Oh, mum, said junior, I didn't like your 4 X 4, but now you have done something to it, for some reason, I have changed my opinion.

Tractors

I saw a John Deere tractor yesterday, it passed at speed and I didn't get a good look, so I had a look on the web for some pictures.

Have a look at the first picture, do these look familiar to anybody?
