Re: Seatbelts on planes

The rules are probably quite appropriate for the risk, from business insider: According to data from the Federal Aviation Administration, just 163 people were seriously injured by turbulence between 2009 and 2022 — an average of less than 12 people a year. The majority, 129, were crew members. In 20...

Was that the cause of death? I didn't know, when it fills my youtube news recommendations I usually ignore the story.

Re: Seatbelts on planes

Used to fly a lot for work and major turbulence was quite uncommon (if things are obviously bad it gets flown around unless there's no option) in several hundred flights I've only experienced it twice (once mid atlantic and once on a decent into Douglas on the IoM in heavy weather) the rest has been...

Re: Your fleet running reports

I have discovered that if you put the M135i in to 'TRACTION' mode (a single press of the TC button) it pops and crackles like an absolute motherfucker on the overrun - about as much, if not more than in sport+, but without the firm gearchanges, heavy steering etc. I am absolutely not being a child ...

Can I interest you in a very cheap petrol Cayenne ??? 3500kg towing capacity.
If the Cayenne engine was in a pickup body you could, the internal hauling capacity is must have.

Re: TVR Chimaera Thread

Time to update the thread. MOT passed last month with advise of corroded rear discs so a set of Delphi discs and pads were procured for £59 from GSF (got to love a light car with old ford parts on it). Fited and then it developed a squeak from the rear passenger side (like a buckle in the disc). Pul...

Re: Your fleet running reports

Never had an EGR/emissions issue and had nothing but Dervs since 2016. Have you ever opened one of them up for a look inside though ? Mine has full main agent service history and no warning lights. If I wasn't me I'd never have known. Took the manifold off the l200 2 years ago now (we were doing va...

Re: Rum Fred

I don't drink gin, the wife does. Occasionally have a white rum and coke in the sun and for that we have a 5 year old Havana club. It's a nice drink in the sun. I still mostly drink bourbon and coke if I'm drinking spirits with a mixer. Specifically bullett bourbon, jack Daniel's rye (not the crap n...

Re: For Sells Lotus Elise S1

118bhp??? No way with cam and throttle body upgrades or just PH defaults?

Fibreglass osmosis or microblistering of the paint? Osmosis might be a bit full on extreme if it's microblistered and can be sanded. dried and painted.

Even with that at 13k it seems good value.

Re: Your fleet running reports

My first i3 I bought during COVID as I needed a runaround and fancied a try in an EV. I really enjoyed it so ordered the s which upped the fun stakes. They were bought to try something new and really worked for me so no regrets. My wife's Sportage will likely be replaced with an EV in the next 12 m...
