So why don't you? Here's my old Loop.. (997cc, 60+mpg) I used this for my 40min daily commute into the city when i lived out in sticksville.. i would drop the kid at nursery and the boot was plenty big enough for the Bugaboo pushchair, it's all you really need. ..and my 240 wagon (1986cc 20mpg if you're lucky) which i used at the weekend for camping trips, bikes, fishing tackle and such .. nowadays, i hardly drive at all.. probs, less than 1000 miles/yr

This^ is the most sensible thing i've read all day 😍

Having read all POVs.. i still can't understand why y'all can't simply choose a smaller car instead of your SUVs .. the car market is consumer driven so drive it with your consumerism.. i appreciate SUVs are safer but your need for safety is compromising the safety of other road users.. SUVs can drive on dirt roads apparantly?.. as someone who's blessed with zero sense of direction, we've negotiated treacherous mountain dirt tracks all over Europe and snow drifts across the Peak District with zero visibility in nothing more than a Fiat Panda or VW Lupo and i've lived to tell the tale.. it's just a case of forgoing a small percentage of ones own comfort and safety for the wellbeing of other road users, some folks are preparred to make these sacrifices and some folks are not.

^^Hey.. how did you know I was missing all those things?
-
Yep.. our entire infrastructure was built around the horse and cart which had a similar wheelbase to cars built up to the millennium.. I’m not making comparisons here folks, SUVs are fine for American roads but as previously mentioned, unless you change your buying habits, our small island with no motor industry if it’s own is destined for ever larger vehicles which are too wide for our roads.
-
Where will it all end? to be visible / safe amongst the 2 tonne vehicles, you buy a 3t vehicle.. when everyone drives a 3t vehicle you buy 4.. the larger the cars get, the more dangerous roads become for other road users.. and crazy as it sounds, i’d like to be safe and visible too
-
Y'all need to start driving tiny micro-cars or what us Europeans would refer to as 'cars' Our roads are just not suitable for these types of vehicles, but while you're driving the market forward it ain't going to change for the rest of us and i'll have to share the cycle lanes with these monstrosities.. i appreciate, they shouldn't be driving in the cycle lanes but our roads are way too narrow for two of these monster trucks to pass on either side of the road unless they do, so it comes down to.. are SUV drivers in the UK incredibly selfish?.. yes! indeed they are. Come on Americans.. it's up to you to save us all from this motoring hell! ..

Oh wow! congratulations.. that's great news I like a box on wheels too.. (i drove a 240 wagon around for years) but it's only the side view^^ which looks like a box on wheels, the front looks like something from the future.. the headlights remind me of a Dyson fan heater

Denim Blunders, Reflections and General Nonsense.

I’m surprised Levi’s are so placid in regards to the use of red tab.. It’s hazy but If I remember rightly.. part of the 2007 lawsuit was not only the placement or colour of tab but it regarded ‘any tab being attached between folded pieces of fabric’ (I can’t remember the exact wording) Levi’s seem much more aggressive in regards to protecting their arcs, flashers or two horse patch, than they do tab.. I mean, we still see tabs, rarely do we see arcs or a patch depicting ‘things’ pulling apart a a pair of jeans. -
Wow!.. @TripicalMidbooster what's the prospects for recovery, will it be full or partial? .. When i was a Niketalk member in a previous lifetime, i'd been gradually selling off my collection to a dude in Orange County, in the time i knew him, he'd left university, got a job, put a payment down on a house and started funding his younger brother through his education, any spare cash spent buying my old Nikes.. One day i got an email from his hospital bed saying he'd suffered a stroke and was recovering from his second surgery.. a stark reminder of how life can change in a heartbeat. ..anyway, welcome to the forum!

They don’t ‘own all arcs on back pockets’ the Levi’s arcs are a registered trademark and if your arcs look Levi-esque the lawyers will act for infringement / copyright protection. -

Levi’s should force FC to recall all the 30th ani pairs to be unpicked by means of poetic justice.. -

I know next to nothing about Wranglers but they look perfectly legit to me.. just look at the details, why would someone go to such lengths to fake a pair of $60 vintage Wranglers, it's not like there is a huge market for them. What makes you think they could be fake? -

No tales to tell i'm afraid.. he just used to chime in from time to time, he stopped posting here around 2011/12 and migrated over to DB for a short period. -
Are you keeping the Garrison trews Mike? They're a bit too slim for my current aethetic but dayum they're a beautiful pair of pants.

I know this comes from the man himself but i think he's having a senior moment I’ve grown quite attached to our Californian denim jeans leather patch through the years… Sometime in 2012, I thought of coming-up with an “original” MF® pair of basic 5-pocket jeans.. With the help of @SugarCaneDenim, we did it. Called them CALIFORNIANS, because of my commitment to always produce them in California, USA. That patch design dating back to 2012 is what you see on our Californians today, with all patches handmade from scratch at our Los Angeles HQ ..The jeans and patch both date from 2010 .. they're in the 2010 SC Catalogue, so possibly designed in 2009 rather than 2012
