Took the Yeti for new boots yesterday in readiness for its MOT this week. All good, but the chap who did the tyre swap commented that the locking wheel nut is starting to fail. Now, I can't remember the last time I saw someone steel the alloys from a 2013 Yeti, so do I really need to bother with get...

Ah. And as much as I hate Musk there's a difference between having the government as your customer for services and products, and actual corporate aid, tax breaks and public grants.

I was sitting in a client meeting a few years ago when another of his rockets exploded on the launchpad. Think it had a meta satellite on it that time?
