Re: Restomod Esprit


I’d rather have this.

if i want a fully modern drivable car id get a GT3 to sit next to it!


I was wondering how feasible giving an actual S1 to someone like Retropower for a k swap and other choice mods would be. Seems more desirable than the V8 based ...

6x4 F350 based camper. Do a cummins or powerstroke conversion and it’d be a beast.

Re: Bye Bye Rachel Reeves


I think that's a massive generalisation and impossible to make that statement across a broad spectrum of different issues. The debate has moved left on some points and right on others.

The interesting thing is really that given the polarisation of society, the very idea of an overton window has ...

Re: Bye Bye Rachel Reeves

The overton window has moved so far this last couple of years that what we consider the centre now would’ve been deep into tory territory 20 years ago.

Maybe if we want Unions to be less aggressive, employers can try being less exploitative.

Re: Bye Bye Rachel Reeves

There’s some fundamental misunderstanding l of what disability benefits are for. They’re not just to keep people from falling into abject poverty but to mitigate the extra costs that come with travelling, working etc with a disability.

It’s that equity thing again. The benefits help level the ...

Re: Bye Bye Rachel Reeves

The “buying british” thing was an after the fact justification because people were asking why they were taking policy cues from the telegraph.

Re: Bye Bye Rachel Reeves

Aye, it’s largely been pushed by the telegraph as far as I can see. Mad that those benefit moochers can get a new Benz.

You’re absolutely right that the cost to the government was the same regardless of vehicle choice, the claimant makes up the extra.

Re: Bye Bye Rachel Reeves

I think it would’ve been good to bring the percentage of taxable income at minimum wage back to where it was in 2020ish. Considering inflation is still not great and the actual wage has gone up by quite a lot since then.

The motability changes seem like a bit of a fuck you to people who can’t ...

It would be great if more people were like Michael Sheen sure, but even talking about issues is better than nothing.

It’s hardly surprising that people don’t want to stick their heads over the parapet.

Re: Randomness

I’m the other way tbh, it’s why I think stuff like “champagne socialist” is daft.

People with the money and visibility to stand up for issues with less fear of backlash should. Otherwise it’s just the poor people who have to choose between principles and eating that will.

Same principle that would ...

Yeah Jaguar IRS was a fairly common swap in UK hot rods but it takes up a lot more space than a straight axle and leaf springs. Should drive pretty well though.

+1 I used to be lax about wearing my helmet around town but a bad crash last year would’ve meant at least brain damage if I hadn’t been wearing it.

I’ve always worn one off road.

There’s no good reason not to wear one.

Yeah that Hipster concept is cool. Dacia is doing quite interesting things with cheap EVs imo. I’ve seen more of those little Spring things than I might’ve expected considering the range.
