OV9

It's interesting that the cars doing the flying about and acceleration runs are on big ugly aero wheel covers unlike the car on stage. I'm presuming some extreme weight saving shenanigans to make the stunts work.

The regular thruster-less one being RWD means I doubt the 0-60 will trouble a Model S ...

Titanium here. Was glad of it when I lost my first one swimming on honeymoon and it only cost £40 to replace :lol:

On tools I’d assumed the powered pruning shears were just for arthritic old duffers but I got a set of Worx ones and they’re brilliant. Anything you can fit in the jaws it just ...

The GOOLOO equivalent is just over £40, I've had it a couple of years and started several cars with it (usually my neighbours). https://amzn.eu/d/0eagbeHl

4 litres of Magnatec full synth for £30 will sort out the Stepwgn for another year.

Selling my GT Omega Titan - discount for anyone off here so I don’t have to deal with ebaytards. https://ebay.io/m/IeJYbZ

Maybe hell has frozen over.

I bought a Desktronic HomePro recently, very happy with it. Had an electric (but no memory) ikea one for 10 years that has gone to my son instead, this is way sturdier, quicker, quieter than that. Good range of colours/sizes/materials too.

Memory settings mean I actually stand more because it’s ...

Disappointing that you can only get the steelies on base spec, but I think a red Pop would be fine. Configurator implies you need to move up to get the CarPlay/AA screen but it’s standard on base.

A clean MOT pass for the nearly 20 year old Stepwagon. And the front suspension advisories from the last two have gone away with no action from me The best kind of MOT day.

And thought I may as well save myself a delivery fee on some solar panels:

Had a Synology, now Unraid but in both cases just carved a separate Time Machine share for each Mac to use for TM backup. You can reassure yourself a bit by picking some random files and restoring them. The underlying data is just a bunch of hard links for files that haven't changed, so you can ...

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.
