Re: New Car
How does it compare insurance wise? The younger boy has his theory in about 3 weeks at that point I am on the hook for a car. I said not until you've passed theory as I don't want another car on the drive (we are already up to 4 and a dirty great caravan) and one that could sit around unused.

Re: Your fleet running reports
Yeah, I'm sure I can have a word with Mrs Mike to get her to up her game to reach that 100% mark. Data is anonymised which is good and from what I've read isn't sold or shared outwith BMW, but I'd be amazed if there's any way to opt out of this stuff these days given the software in cars and integr...

Re: Your fleet running reports
1 minor advisory, needs new rear disc's and pads as they are corroded. Now need to find out what they were upgraded to so I can source them. Cosworth parts so at least I can get them.

Re: Your fleet running reports
Not sure if it specifically helps with the TVR, but the place in Vulcan Way in Sandhurst gave my Smart a clean pass which was...... surprising. In a nice way. That place might prove useful, I've had good reports for it before too and the MOT centre in Yateley too. I still have 2 regular cars to MOT...

Re: Your fleet running reports
TVR MOT this evening. My usual guy has packed in automotive mechanics, sold his workshop and share in MOT centre to work on marine :o . Finding someone to MOT the TVR has been interesting, it should all be OK but I wanted someone who knew the foibles of a 90's handbuilt classic with mods (needing a ...

Re: Dangerous beers...
Pelforth was the beer on tap on site at our usual place in France I remember it was pretty pleasant. Going back this year for the first time since 2019 so will reacquaint myself with it then. Keep a couple of doombars around at most times but I go through phases, ciders (inches and bulmers red berry...

Re: Why are road trips so alluring?
Having watched Harry's recent trip to Spain I can see why you might do it but I personally want to do tours around Germany/Austria/Italy and Spain Portugal and I will take ferries for both (Dunkirk and Bilbao respectively), drive and take my time to enjoy it as that's part of the experience for me. ...

Re: Motorway Mile Munchers
Yes LS is on the list but all hybrids command quite a premium so they come across as very overpriced for a car which will also depreciate to shed money eventually and have much more to go wrong. Go wrong? It's a Lexus, FiL put about 500k on a LS400 and 430 and the only failure over 20 years was the...

Re: Motorway Mile Munchers
Surely a Lexus LS or GS should figure as a mile muncher, no oil burners but they do some Hybrids that makes them more attractive don't they?

Re: Mountain Biking general thread
As it is now lighter in the evenings I've started riding to work a couple of days a week again. I've hardly used a bike over winter so fitness is down and waistline is up :( I'm hoping to rectify both but advancing years certainly slow gains down. The worst thing after a layoff for me is always the...

Re: Desktop multimedia speakers
Would the KRK Rokit suit? They are possibly a little too big but they are loved by DJ's as a decent entry level monitor, there is also a matching sub if you want to extend them a little. I use some old Mordaunt-Short MS10 book shelfs, run off a Teac AV-H500 amp (I needed more inputs and wanted a ded...

Re: Ross Scott's stopkillinggames.com campaign
Have to admit I'd wondered what would happen to Amazon if I canceled my prime but I'd 'bought' a film or some other content. I would assume as long as the login/account still existed you should still have access. I've put a bit of money for battlepasses into star trek fleet command (only subscribe l...

Re: Spotted - Clio and Evo sticker
Well it started quite a conversation that, I thought merv had a trophy at some point but he's had that 330 forever now so obviously not his and a bit far away too. Was just passing on the way out with Claire driving (not allowed for another few days after last weekends appendicitis op) so couldn't h...

Spotted - Clio and Evo sticker
A Clio trophy (assuming real by the central twin pipes) in red/orange with an Evo sticker in the rear window and the plate T20 PHY. Anyone in here? Bit of a punt but not something you see everyday, especially round the corner from your house.

Re: Home CCTV
Are there any good solutions out there for motion-detected cams which can use battery and solar power only? Looking for something I could stick on a shipping container which would be in the middle of a field basically, for a bit of extra security... I have a few Eufy cameras (as I don't want the pe...

Re: The Movie Thread
After watching Dune again on Friday I was reminded about how awful the sound is. You can barely hear them or (because I’m poor and semi detached) wake the neighbours. I am looking forward to watching Dune 2 at the cinema but really get frustrated with movies you have to strain to listen to. I get m...
