Re: Ebrahim Raisi

Signed thousands of death warrants for political prisoners according to the BBC feed. Hopefully it was a particularly drawn out death. Yeah, if you are at all of a human nature I suggest you don't read about the mass executions he signed off on, including of children. Hope Raisi barbecued well afte...

With the MG it was because they couldn't fit the 4 valve head under the bonnet so it couldn't breathe very well .

Re: Tesla Cyberpuke

The MAGA lot don't want electric cars, they want big v8 trucks etc.

So Musk is doing his best to piss off his core (liberal tech workers etc), whilst mainly appealing to the voter who wouldn't have an electric car if it was the last transport on earth.

Re: It’s time for another forum cycle/vehicle disagreement

/r/ukbike on Reddit is up in arms about this. So much 'whataboutism' about the deaths caused by motorists, and even a couple of comments that they need "more protection from pedestrians who step out into the road". LOL. Twats.

Yes - all their dealers are now 'agents' rather than actual sales peeps in their own right, or something like that. So no discounts.

Exactly, and as it already has an I6 elsewhere in the line-up it would be a bit weird to move to I4 for the hot version.

Re: Car Hire Lottery

Just like the E90 BMW 325i with the same 3.0 6-cyl engine as the 330i but artificially restricted in the ECU - some people seem to think it's just coded such that it only ever gives 70% throttle. E81 125i was a gem in that respect. Same as the R50 Mini One IIRC the rover 214i was the same. Pegged b...

Re: People (Office)

They closed our base office in Surrey back in late 2020 (not Covid related, but rather T+A studies over the years proving that we were using it less and less), so when they closed it they offered everyone either a WFH contract or a London office contract. I think 98% chose WFH as we were spread far ...

Re: It’s time for another forum cycle/vehicle disagreement

Agreed on all of that, but I'd also suggest that the cyclist has been cycling on the pavement, then on a pavement crossing over to the start of the cycling lane. Anyone know whereabouts this is?

Re: It’s time for another forum cycle/vehicle disagreement

If you look at the cycle lane coming the other way, it looks like it stops where it reaches this crossing - likely just a pedestrian crossing? And I think therefore the cyclist was riding on the pavement, then crossed the road, and the pedestrian didn't expect to get hit by a cyclist at the START of...

I used rated people last weekend to find an emergency plumber when Dad had a leak under the bath. Very good response on there.
