Offer them £1.9 milly due to the upcoming mansion tax.
Think of the headache you’ll save over renovating your current place

I found out something silly about electronic handbrakes recently. They’re designed so as to not be accidentally activated, so if the car is moving you need to hold them for 3-5 seconds depending on manufacturer for it to activate. 3-5 seconds is a long time if you have an actual brake line let go or ...

Needs aggressive advertising. No NCGs know about Pistonheads. But when we had all those rubbish online car supermarkets pop up everyone knew about them in a short space of time.

I can’t remember the specifics but speaking with the farmer a grass field should only be mowed for 3 seasons and then should be ploughed and reseeded. Grass density decreases season over season and allows weeds to grow in the gaps. But it’s too expensive to do that now. He also doesn’t fertilise as ...

Seems a good opportunity for a bunch of the larger car dealers to get together and make their own system. They’ve got the money and contacts to make it happen.

My phone popped up with one of those memories photos. 6 years ago that they were dropped off here. Here is a more recent photo from a few weeks ago

It’s been good fun and I’ve learned a lot of new skills because of them.

You must have been about 70 years too young for a Mercedes in 2001

Next years cars are conventional, albeit active aero aren’t they? So maybe Lewis will bounce back but you tend to end up with one driver who masters every era of car. I don’t have faith in the current Ferrari team producing a decent car though.

I know there's a lot of what if's but the biggest thing for me is Max being an idiot in Barcelona and getting docked 9 points.

Well done Lando

50 grand is the cost of a replacement carbon McLaren splitter!

Should be an easy drive home for Norris to finish on the podium but Mclaren seem to do things in the hardest way possible. Don't think Max will try anything stupid, he has to win the race.

Am I completely imagining things or did the Abu Dhabi doo qualifying always start before sunset, with Q3 being in total darkness? And Q2 mostly being shots of the massive sun setting.

I feel like this about most restomods. Just do the mechanical stuff. New but discreet infotainment would be nice. LED bulbs inside the headlights and don’t fecking touch it any more. If you really need to improve high speed performance then flat floor. At least you don’t see it.

Because I didn't know cold water kitchen taps exist :oops:
Thought it was a bathroom thing only. Well that solves 1 problem.


I put a sink in the space above our garage - which only had a cold water (mains) feed.

Installed one of these with a normal mixer tap - you’d have to have a really ...

I’d like to install a sink in an outbuilding. I’ve seen these 12v pumps online but have some plumbing questions https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/306608290133?_trkparms=itmf%3D1%26aid%3D1110006%26rkt%3D12%26mech%3D1%26algv%3DMercuryVectorPrimeBig8Reco%26pmt%3D1%26amclksrc%3DITM%26sd%3D306558520624%26sid ...

I live in the bottom right, it’s in a blank white shade as it’s all private land with its own weird laws. But H&F put their resident only enforcement camera on the main road ...
