I know the Throttle House chaps are decent, just hope Francis? works out well. I can't tell if he's genuine or a fake caricature.

Yes, a stone

In your plug you see the domes with the + shape. Get a flathead screwdriver and spread them out a tiny bit so they make better contact with the female end.

I have spotted some American muscle with a roof tent

Only thing I know about the Artura is that it has a stupid tyre. The tpms is integrated within the rubber of the Pirelli tyre. Because of this you can only buy McLaren’s special Pirelli tyre and there are no alternatives. These tyres are also stupid expensive.

McL soon to be spotted in a McD’s carpark.

That’s annoying, was going to order an old man emu steering damper. It’s just crap quality paint. How come the bits I sand and spray underneath hold up fine for many years but the professionally finished stuff falls apart as soon as it sees a flake of salt…

Had 15 litres of oil and an afternoon in a pit. I believe the youngsters call it a Diddy party but I was just servicing my Defender…

Need to order new steering bits as all the rubbers are cracking, brakes could do with changing too.
Bit disappointed with the ...

Thing is Gordon Murray never made particularly nice road cars. All his stuff has been on the low end of the scale for looks. Rocket looked like crap, then he made an SUV thing that looked like crap, then he made those modular i Stream cars that looked like crap.
Probably a blessing that he only did ...

Just shat myself, wasn't expecting that warning!

It's bad if you're not a Farage voter but his voters couldn't care less. As for potentially becoming a cry baby world leader who can't handle pressure. Well that seems par for the course too.

It's also been bad for most of North America and Europe too. Think our every shrinking supermarket packs of food will all become airline snack sized

Are they ploughing to prevent fires?


I think so, or possibly to act as a giant firebreak to protect their outbuildings if it ...

Even the army aren’t immune to it. During the heatwave a few years ago they held a training exercise and set fire to a field with their flares. My electrician nearly lost his home!

I’ve never got on with the Tom Holland Spider-Man *old man shouts at cloud*

The aerial shots make it look like the whole area has been napalmed

My telescope made a right hash of that, it struggled to track the sun - I presume the AI hasn’t had much training on solar eclipses. Then it kept losing focus and messing up the exposure.

Christ they like to bitch and moan about this on the news, I just looked at the sun and can see it fine, and can still see fine
