Re: Raleigh

Their modern stuff always seemed to be behind the curve and a lot more expensive than similar looking Chinese or own brand Halfords stuff so not really surprising :(

My dad still rates them just because his last road bike was a Raleigh Banana circa 1990 :lol:

Re: EV Thread

Mine isn't connected to my existing CU it's connected to the meter via a dedicated CU. I believe that is the norm as to not rely on someone else's work or CU capability.

Re: Your fleet running reports

SJ is a different breed.

I would take a chance at scrap money but £2k for a car with 204,000 miles lol

Re: New toy


Speaking of growing up, I just bought a Honda Dax 125 😂

That's fantastic. I grew up riding Honda MiniTrails and later a Yamaha Chappy 80. I would love a Dax or Z125 for nipping about 8-)

Re: FAO Coffee snobs

I'm surprised no votes for a cafetiere. I like a proper coffee a few times a year at home, it's cheap, easy, quick and tastes great.

I assume I'm breaking some coffee wankers rule book with that 😂

I've seen a couple of reviews of the C10 range extender. Near 100 mile electric with a petrol powered generator that can provide another 500 miles. They look fantastic.

Re: Dogecoin etc


Anyone in for the SpaceX IPO?


I had a tickle via Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust after it tanked during covid, it's about 20% of the Trusts holdings now and probably a big contributor to its 100% return over the last 3 years.
