It’s a bit of a mute point.

Things I didn’t previously know existed #eleventy

Good to see they are as use-limitingly chunky as they are expensive.

Honestly I thought I'll just wrap my socket in duct tape. Then I saw a video showing it's at 170 volts

But that's what the people want. This is a natural progression of democracy, freedom, equal rights and inclusivity. You no longer have a country all filled with broadly similarly thinking people, and there is the luxury of decades of peacetime and relative prosperity which allow for this to happen ...

Might as well get it straight from the horse's mouth

Scroll down a bit but clicking 'explore' doesn't open anything new for me.
Looks reassuringly expensive, carbon fibre chassis/body, carbon brakes. That's £250k+

They’ve had too many stupid scandals again, and then not handled the aftermath well. Can’t blame the media when it’s their job to scrutinise these things.
Starmer did a piss poor job of running the ship and keeping his crew in line.

Only the rear image is accurate. The front is an Autocar render.

Well this is something of a damp squib after treating the Tesla to new brakes

Seems like the main fuse is on the way out. DIYable easily enough, just need some insulated sockets but I don’t like messing about with the main battery on this car from an error ...

Yep, our GDP figures are always just teetering into positive territory. It won’t take make to drawdown into a full blown recession.

Gilts going up not because Starmer is a dead man but because whoever replaces him will be worse. Another election cycle wasted…
King Charles might as well save his breath and not bother with his speech later.

The proper RC helicopters with the new GPS and gyro tech are cool as fook. Still too pricey to justify for a toy though.

How many miles has that Mini done?! I think I'd have set fire to it by now.

Just like a Ute, but shitter in every way.

Didn’t think they’re worth that much, there’s one parked at my flat and it’s always in an unloved state.

Today’s job

Did the Tesla rear brakes and lower control arms. Top bolts were a faff to remove, I thought there must be another way and looked online and the official way is to remove the subframe.
Luckily the whole thing is made of thin pressed metal so I ...

I’ve read about this before but buyer beware; don’t buy a used higher mileage VAG EV, their motors have a design flaw

Just got the premium edition on Loaded for £73. Please don’t be shit

Further and faster down the drain

Zach P and green have done a great job of coming across as normal, but i can’t help think they’ll never quite make it because of a few policies which will never be popular, and to be honest will completely preclude many from voting green.

legalising drugs & lowering speed limits ...

They’re very clever, they built up all their infrastructure over the past few decades and could see net zero coming to capitalise on it. World leader in solar, wind power, batteries, AI and sheer man power and cheap plentiful energy to support the industry.
