Re: Your £140k track car

I'd want a proper GT3, I already have the trailer to transport it and this one is quite close

Re: Telephone Pole


It's not ambiguous - it is holding the phone in your hand which is an offence. Hands-free means it's in a mount, not that you're using Siri. Other resources are available to remove ambiguity: https://www.westyorkshire.police.uk/ask-the-police/question/Q955 for example.

Re: Your £140k track car

Is the wealthy benefactor paying for maintenance? I don't want to be forking out for a set of carbon ceramic brakes every few trackdays :shock:

Re: Telephone Pole

Yes, but where does it say you can interact with your hands-free device using your, er, hands?
I note that voice commands are specifically listed but nothing about physical prodding and poking.
It’s ambiguous on purpose.

Unless there’s an official line from the government or case law saying it’s permissible then I’m going to assume you can get done for it :lol:

Re: Telephone Pole



I think where the law falls flat is if you’ve got your phone mounted on the windscreen and you’re using Waze and you touch the screen it’s still illegal.

At the end of the day it’s all just a bonus. I used to wash my car with just a bucket of water and watering can and that did an adequate job :lol:


No sponge, or cloth :?:


You’ve made me check, I still have all my stuff in the cupboard from 10+ years ago!

Interesting article about cycling in the UK here too: https://www.theguardian.com/news/2025/dec/21/cycling-changing-at-speed-britain-keeping-pace

Re: No F1 thread?

Haven’t seen that video but only the technical stuff online. I was most surprised that increasing the compression however much (and it was quite a lot) supposedly only equated to a 15bhp increase.

Re: Your fleet running reports

I suppose it wouldn't be too difficult to fit a instant hot water heater. Not sure if they have enough flowrate to supply a pressure washer but the bigger issue is that it's another 32 amp draw and at this point UK Power Network are changing fuses here on a monthly basis.

Re: Mik Tyson vs Jake Paul

There’s a pretty horrific clip at the end of the fight, Jake opens his mouth and you can see his broken jaw and misaligned teeth. Also looked to me like AJ took it easy at first, then had enough with the silly games. It’s also financially prudent to draw out the fight for a few rounds as it gives ...

Re: Your fleet running reports




I assume it's a reasonable premium over it's non heated equivalent?

I don't mean "because it's a rip off" but because integrating a diesel heater into a pressure washer will have a cost, like.


Yes at £700 it’s much much more however it is still the cheapest hot water pressure washer on the ...

Re: Your fleet running reports

Got to use the new Hyundai hot water pressure washer which was nice when it was 5 degrees outside. It’s a hybrid so electric pump with a diesel heater the latter of which is pretty draconian. It smokes like a 90’s diesel van :lol:

Never realised that the M3 CSL generated enough downforce to drive upside down

Beat the McMurtry to it by a long margin for a road legal car ;)
