The test ride was fun. I had zero damping in the forks! I’ve got an Abba Skylift coming today so getting up on that and forks and rear shock off is the first job, getting them rebuilt by Abel Suspension.

Just needs a good service and a new battery other than that.

Will is super stoked to be ...

Had a deal on this today for Will. KTM RC 125. It's a little bit of a project as it needs some work to make it reliably usable as a daily for him, but I think these are cool as fuck for a 17 year old to tool around on.

Collecting it Sunday all being well.

I use old toothbrushes to remove dust from Lego - dusting with a make-up brush would work if you do it very regularly but it tends to stick to the Lego and needs something a bit stiffer to get it out from the crevices.

Have you agreed a sale and purchase now, @GG. ? Built Lego does not move ...

Is anyone in physical gold as an ETC? I'm very tempted to stick 25k into £SGLN for a bit of diversification against my stocks and bonds. Seems to do well particularly when Trump starts fucking about with tariff/threats.

I would have to make Will redundant tho.

Audi RS3 - wider tyres on the front than the back?! Mentalism for the 'tism.

It's been the same since the first RS3 which came out, what 15 years ago? I remember posting about it being a shit solution and engaging in some sort of argument about it online. It's still shit now.


I didn't know ...

It was Holden Volvo. Anyway the deal is done now, they didn't push back really on removing the £500 delivery bullshit. Hopefully Friday is new car day for Vicky.

Went car shopping at the weekend as my girlfriend wants out of her 2 year old Cupra Leon for something more SUVish. We've narrowed it down to an XC40 and found a really nicely specced B3 mild hybrid at a local Volvo dealer. They were happy for us to take it away for 90 mins by ourselves so had a ...

I wonder how many of his close circle have been buying stock like mad in the last two days. Tomorrow will be a good day for them I expect.

The bellend who owns it is paying MA to do it tho, so it's zero risk to MA other than potential reputation. His video from last night is past 2.5m views already so he'll be quids in for sure.

I've never bothered. If it's a well run event and you can keep a level head the risk is minimal IMO

I think this co-lab will cost Matt a fair bit of his reputation. The owner is a massive cock.

Mate is the coolest car guy tho, no question.

Or just drive to the speed limit

I have a bunch of Refoss smart plugs that I bought for cheaps off Amazon 4 years ago. They work well, report on usage in real time and seem to be ok being a way from our router.

Tremendous Dan!

I saw 1.54 in Wymondham for Diesel this week. Still 1.37 in Woolpit tho, petrol in the 20s still.

They've made a U-turn

Jaguar XF S Portfolio 3.0D string-backed-driving-gloves edition

So 9,000 miles into XF ownership and I have the first real issue. Rear parking sensors/camera is now inop. You get the camera on ok, then after a few seconds the sensors emit a long beeep and the screen goes off with an error message ...

The LIDL ones are nice, and about sixpence and thereabouts.
