Re: Selling Property




For what they do I think professional movers are incredibly good value. What is the alternative - hiring a van? How many trips would you need and how much time to shift the entire contents of a house?


I did that last time, because at the time I couldn't afford more than van hire - for two ...

Re: Daan Saaf OV9 Meet

I'll be at the back in another EV next to the GLC!
Unless I can convince a friend to loan me something... :twisted:

Should be able to get there for opening. I'll swing by the supercharger at Wyboston Lakes en route to make sure I have decent range...

Re: Dutton is back


No - nothing to do with Yellowstone.

The Dutton Kit car is back.

The bad news is that this isn't necessarily a good thing.

But hey - I ...

Re: M5 test drive report and new car thread

Passed an M5 in a lovely deep blue when I was headed through Collingham in Yorkshire (funnily enough just past the Porsche dealer there) and there is something about a deep colour that really picks out the shape of this car. Purple still the better shade though.

Re: EV Thread


Anyone charge from a 3-pin?

I'm still hovvering over a Honda E for the short hack around town, and was planning to 3-pin charge as it'll be more than enough overnight for a 20-mile round trip. That being said, someone on Reddit has his 3-pin plug burnout and lots of "electrical engineers" are ...

Re: Your High field MRI Scanner Fleet Running Reports

Good news! A replacement synthesizer has solved our noise problem and things are now back in spec.

We successfully ran a spectroscopy experiment on a member of staff as a trial. It seems to be producing a good signal for the phosphocreatine (chemical constituents) in the heart.

I thought the M5 was an X5, it looks like it's up to Harry's shoulder height?

Re: Daan Saaf OV9 Meet


I used to enjoy the area NW from St Albans - up north of Aylesbury, south of Milton Keynes, between the A5 and A41 - but that was 20 years ago and again I suspect is busier and the roads will have had speed limits reduced.

Northumberland's still quiet... :lol:


I think we're in a balance ...

Is it really 18 months since that meet?? : shock:

I’m game. No fuel issues for me! Unless we delay another 6 months until I buy Fun Car.

Dates?

Or we just all visit Jobbo’s house for a nice cuppa if there is no petrol left.
