But I got to try out the new sandblaster and it came out very nice


I was genuinely suprised how cheap these things were - I was about to reply that surely it's cheaper to pay someone to do it for you....but £100?


Double that in my case, the £100 ones are tiny and I need to refurb a lot of ...

6 Series rear caliper seized on a few days ago
https://i.ibb.co/4nJHWrkd/IMG-2443.jpg
It was properly clamped on, had to hit it for 10 mins with a mallet for it to finally release.
Then had to use an air hammer to extract the piston. But I got to try out the new sandblaster and it came out very ...

One of the crew has spicy beans for their meal choice. Absolutely evil

Ukraine are massively reducing sending troops abroad for training for this reason. Apparently NATO training methods are too dated and don’t reflect current warfare. I guess it’s no real surprise though.

Looks like the NASA animations are also running on shuttle era computers

Hopefully it launches on time, I’m tired already

The sad thing is that must exist somewhere?

The circuit is just a stretch of motorway, an offramp that takes you back round and a series of chicanes and U turns
GT3 cars refuel at the motorway petrol station!

Too many on the whole this year, kinda been ruined by AI now that you can spend a second typing a prompt for it to generate anything.

Yep that’s a great colour

I’d still buy the £400 socket set. Brake even after the first time. See what I did there :lol:

I saw a short on this cowboy garage that charged $8000 for pads and discs on a Hellcat. Then they tried to justify the cost. Half of it was for the pretty ordinary steel discs and pads (don’t believe ...

30 mins run time - kids have it good these days. Remember when they lasted 5 mins and begging for AA batteries or waiting 8 hours for them to recharge.

Learned something new today. So when you take your car in for an MOT the tester inputs the VIN, not the reg. And so my dad learned that his Caterham doesn’t exist. It’s not on the system. The tester was concerned at first thinking the car has dodgy history, but was then told it was bought from new ...

Feels like people just aren’t driving very much. Roads in and around London feel far less busy now. I suppose between the much greater adoption of EVs and WFH it’s a much lesser issue these days than last time around.

Feels like a non issue and a way for Tesla to justify selling their annual brake lube check. In winter when there’s the greatest amount of corrosion you also have a cold battery pack with barely any regen so you’re mainly using the friction brakes which sorts that issue.
I guess there are people who ...

Sticks like Sh*t

I have an old King Dick spanner.

Ended up not watching this one, not even the highlights. Seeing the cars going slow at the Esses to recharge and then dying before hitting 130R during quali was enough for me. Then I saw a clip this morning of Hamilton’s engineer telling him to go slower in the corners to have more battery on the ...

Well got my fuel, and filled my car but it won’t be going anywhere soon. It was only 1.5 miles to the petrol station and I could smell brakes. Rear right seized

Buy stabila, and only stabila


The Wickes one was £25 and the Stabila was £80. I guess I know why now :lol:


If you buy cheap spirit levels check they’re still good by spinning 180deg and it should still read the same. I still check mine regularly even though they’re not cheap ones. If not ...
