Glad of the 5 year JL warranty on our LG OLED - we're 4 years and 5 months in and started getting power issues. They sub it out to local repairers, guy came out today, confirmed it in 2 mins and will be back with a new power board. Fingers crossed for another 4+ years out of this one.

I have an aeropress but I use a V60 dripper most days. Minimal faff/cleanup and doesn't matter if I pour then forget about it. Rave Coffee do a V60, filters and a bag of coffee for less than 20 quid.

Apparently it was this house, which he was regularly using for photos about ten years ago.


Was also his address at Companies House for personal things and UKIP until he started using Nick Candy's office and then Reform's one. It's hardly secret info.

The whole speech was 15 minutes of whinging ...

Yeah, it's a very different prospect since it's been surfaced. It's a shame we don't get bikes racing on it any more.

Haven't regretted a penny I've spent on unifi wifi gear. U7 Pro mounted on the hallway ceiling gives decent coverage everywhere and if you're anywhere near it you can get the full 900mb down. Be a room or two away and it's still 400+.

Almost all internet gripes I hear are people using the rubbish ...

2026 Pikes Peak

Robin Shute in the fastest ICE (2nd overall) - brain-meltingly fast but you can see there's plenty of room to go faster.



Romaine Dumas in the bonkers Ford Mach E, fastest overall:

128 miles combined WLTP. They're being sneaky and throwing the "city" WLTP about which you don't have a hope of getting close to.

Bunch of Honda Super-N reviews today.

Price confirmed at £18995, just one (pretty good) spec - heated seats/wheel, adaptive cruise, Bose sound, etc. Orders from Monday.

Delighted to come across this and find out what used to be called EuroBOSS (wealthy fuckers racing 90s onwards single seaters) is still a thing. Sadly no UK rounds though.

ex-Torro Rosso V10:

At least the grilles are smaller again.

Back is gopping, this XM design direction is awful.

Assuming you charge cheaply at home then it's only the long trips and usually you're just doing a bit of a top up rather than filling from empty.

Although France isn't bad at all - we did just under 900 miles in a week around Caen a couple of weeks ago, across the charges on my Electroverse card it ...

Ex Lando Norris McLaren Senna. Rumour has it he asked mik to borrow a paint pen.

+1 for Reolink on a budget. The AI detection (people, cars, animals) works pretty well in the newer ones, that plus exclusion zones means I can get alerts when someone is on our drive but not on the pavement 8m away. Doorbell works fine although I went for a POE one like the other cameras.

Don't ...

Enjoying so far, surprised how well it runs on my A770.

Annoying though that I let my son play the first half hour or so and found no easy way to reset it. Had to create him his own Windows profile, sign into the store as me and it lets him play on his own xbox account separately now, but for mine ...

It's pretty much what I use my Honda Stepwgn for. Petrol imports just need to be first registered in 2007 onwards for Euro 4 equivalence and thus ULEZ compliance. 1.7m wide, 4.7m long and auto so easy to drive and park. £365 pa tax, mine costs me £400 to insure. Absurdly reliable K20, no diesel Euro ...

CATL supply loads of western brands for EV batteries, unlike BYD they’re not in the business of making their own cars.

Besides there’s enough western brands building entire EVs in China. Originally to flog them there avoiding import issues but many (new Cupra Tavascan as an example) just get made ...

That’s the nice thing about software though, they can find ways to use that extra space.

i3 went to new owner yesterday, I’m regretting it a bit already. Hoping they won’t hit “modern classic” status too soon so I can have another in future.

I’d have no worries on modern wiring (RBCO consumer unit etc) and plugging straight in - no extension leads. The charger should have a temp sensor on the 3 pin plug and cut if it did get too hot.

The problems come with dodgy old wiring, there’s still wire fuse boards out there and decades of DIY ...

Definitely some of that DNA in the I Vision Circular concept they did a few years ago. https://www.press.bmwgroup.com/global/a ... anguage=en

Or come and buy the best looking BMW EV ever made. Olwd out yerrand, etc etc

+1 for FTX Tracer, think my son was about 6 when we got it, haven’t smashed too many bits. Small and light enough that it doesn’t have too much energy in a crash but big enough to work ok on cut grass.

Don’t bother with the brushless version, brushed is plenty.
