Re: Starlink

I thought about selling ours once we got fttp but it seems like a great thing to have in an emergency given the relatively small outlay for the kit.

Re: The House Projects Thread


@Ascender can you post the plans again? I can't find them easily in this thread. I don't think I'd realise quite how much you were taking out and keeping of the old building.


The old croft house is going to be untouched (we've replaced the roof and are going room by room inside). This was a ...

Re: Teh Spotted Thread

A Singer would still be the ultimate for me, I've only seen one in the flesh and the attention to detail and quality of components and workmanship is just off the scale.

Re: Ferrari Luce Reveal

Wow, red really isn't a good colour on it. The one Harry showed on-stage which was gunmetal grey seemed to be a bit more forgiving in not highlighting the styling or making it seem so jarring against the black panels.

Re: The House Projects Thread

And we're off... Feels like a long time coming but hopefully get concrete pouring by the end of the week so it's been a quick start after all that paperwork and hanging around.

Re: Decent Recent TV

Has anyone watched From ? I've heard people say it's kind of like Lost which is obviously not necessarily a slam-dunk depending on your view of that show.

Interview With The Vampire seems to have had some excellent reviews and is now on to S3.

Yip... and he's been more than willing to just buy a gearbox and other parts from Bugatti. I know the Furlonger guys have been manufacturing spare parts as well, but it all just seems a bit mental :D

I see Mark McCann and Matt Armstrong's challenges with Veyrons are continuing...

I don't know if I've forgotten due to old age or just don't know the answer, but why are Bugatti refusing to sell parts for the cars to individuals or the specialist indie Mark has been working with?

Re: Your fleet running reports


What's the carpet hair situation like ?

Our ML is bloody awful for holding onto dog hair so a boot liner is essential.

The TT used to be fine, it just hoovered up.

Important questions I think you'll agree.

Dog fit check complete, more than enough room for the four and also some bits and pieces.

Modern cameras annd cars are just too good. The top formula car just looks like it’s on a Sunday drive and the EV not much better.

I've lost track of how many videos relating to this incident have popped up in the last few weeks and the majority of them seem to be very long so I've instead not viewed any of them despite being interested to hear how this resolves.

Re: Ferrari Luce Reveal

I still really like the idea of the central screen you can pivot as one of the issues with screens above the centre console is that its not facing the driver at all, so adjusting on the move can be tricky.

I'm sure the quality of materials will be top notch and it looks good, but does jar with the ...

I haven't got the sound turned on but which one is the cnut there? The cyclist is going through a red light so it's irrelevant that the pedestrian steps out to stop him.
