Re: Beer Fred
Now I live just outside Worcester I can more easily get the different offerings from the Wye Valley Brewery. My absolute favourite ales still, particularly HPA and Butty Bach.

Re: Trump guilty
Quite amusing really in a political world full of Nadhim zahawi's £3m tax evading and Michelle Mones £200m dodgy PPE contracts, that the worst they can find is a £3.5k tax mistake 10 years ago... I know the guy that exposed all three and feel that he was trying to show that he was not just anti-tor...

Re: FTAO of Jobbo
Probably worth a PM Ian - I’m not sure who you are applying to for access but if you’re talking about access having been gained by long use (which is over 20 years) then evidencing it is the big hurdle.

Re: Lotus Emira
Yes, he does keep many of them very long term. Do you not watch Harry’s Garage? Jag XJC, Elan, 500, Countach, Testarossa for starters off the top of my head. No chance he’ll ever sell the Fulvia Zagato either.

Re: Toyota GR Yaris
Not the £50k+ you’d expect of a rally homologation special though. More like the price of an Impreza, but rarer.

Re: Lotus Emira
That wouldn’t be a bad one if I were buying. Though I’m not sure I could live with the colour of the interior.
I think Harry probably doesn’t consider it a long term keeper compared to things like the Countach so it might not simply be a victim of one-in, one-out.

Re: Toyota GR Yaris
It's fun that every time a new £40k hot hatch comes out people act surprised at the price, like it's not been the going rate for about 5 years :lol: It's also, as I've been learning when comparing some classes of car to each other twenty years apart, not that far from inflation. IE a Sunny GTI-R, a...

Re: Your fleet running reports
My Fabia left hand indicator still isn't working. My local garage are 90% sure it's the bcm. The hazards work fine, as do the right hand indicators and the main beam controls on the stalk. Here are some videos from when I got back home from the garage and had a play around. The indicators started i...

Re: Do automatic ICE cars need tachometers/rev-counters?
GG mentioned the oil pressure gauge in his 911 so I wonder whether there may be other useful instruments which have disappeared and we don't miss? My mk1 MX5s had oil pressure gauges which made me happy that there was oil pressure I suppose, but I didn't keep an eye on. Oil temp and turbo boost are ...

Re: Do automatic ICE cars need tachometers/rev-counters?
Engine noise, speed, rate of acceleration, even time since last gear change… some or even all of these are used to know when to change up or down. You shouldn’t really need to look down at a rev counter I agree with this. If you're thrashing it to the point you're constantly near the redline you sh...

Despite convicted felons not being allowed to vote, or hold security clearance. The US is THAT weird.

Re: For Sells - Mac Mini M1
They’re great machines but I am sticking with my Intel one because I was able to upgrade it to 32GB of RAM and 1TB SSD. I’d love to replace it with a specced-up M1 but they just aren’t depreciating.

Re: Do automatic ICE cars need tachometers/rev-counters?
Only essential in an EV I think. But seriously, if I have an engine I want to know what it's doing. It's not just useful for getting into the power band, it's useful to know when the stop/start has turned it off completely or when you're in a lower gear than you expect to be at a cruise, indicating ...
