Like all other services they're run into the ground. That's no excuse, but a fact. The delays and frustration must be immense.

That made me look at engine configurations again and it quickly got silly. Straight-fourteen sir ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight-fourteen_engine The only straight-14 engine known to reach production is part of the Wärtsilä-Sulzer RTA96-C family of 6-cylinder to 14-cylinder two-stroke marin...

Mr Murray is at the taller end of the scale at 6'4" (193cm). He was keen to ensure taller drivers fitted.

Excellent! I'll drive it as per requirement.

That's a substantial house (and price).

F1. I suspect that I won't fit in any of them anyway, so I'll take the pretty one.

That's a stunning colour.

You were probably thinking of Kelis.

At least she could bring the boys to the yard, rather than deliver to their front door.

I'm not a natural Labour voter but objectively they are the right choice. I agree with Jobbo here As I've said previously, we need a majority Labour government and give them the full 5 year term. Personally, I won't accept any "It's not our fault, we inherited a basket case from the Tories&quo...

Not a moment too soon.

They're there for a reason. I wear it until the seatbelt sign is off and we're stationary on the ground.

My i3 is really sensitive to millisecond surge or power cuts and has occasionally stopped charging even though it's not affected anything else in the house other than the Virgin TV! Even the lights don't flicker but I know something has occured as the TV box has rebooted. Interesting. It charged wi...

Galaxy has a new water pump and a few bits of hose on the back of the engine. Hopefully that means we're done with coolant leaks. They had a good rummage underneath and while things are as you'd expect for 12 years/124k miles nothing is requiring replacement yet. It did just blow a brake bulb though...

A friend's 8yo (not very tall, very fast, runs the junior in about 9 mins) told his dad that if he didn't pick up his pace he didn't want to run with him anymore as he was too slow.

I've been a fan of The Onion for a very long time. Quality work.

Nice. I've started doing our local one again with my 8 year old boy. I last did it when I was pushing his older sister around in a running buggy. Yup, the middle one and me are frequent users of our junior park run. Got a fair few kids from our school going, so it works socially too. My daughter di...

@Beany - that's why I'd like to find someone to do it properly. Honestly, the m3 one is just so supportive for my back, even on a bad day like today.

So the obvious answer is to get a full pro SIM racing setup and use it for work!

10k RPM is nothing. Imagine how high it could go with an electric engine, they spin much faster!

Yeah it did seem a decent atmosphere. 600 people! Nice. I've started doing our local one again with my 8 year old boy. I last did it when I was pushing his older sister around in a running buggy.

Quite. Given how competitively he used to run, I guess he's got the fitness level to do silly things like that.

That would be a great concept - "Let's give Steve a box of wine, load up eBay and an PayPal account with £5k in it. Come back tomorrow morning to find out what he's bought" :lol: HOLD MY BEER https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/394077209447 And the W8 is one I need to cross off my list… Get it bou...
