Astounding numbers for what should be still a comparatively "cheap" car.

Haven't done one of these is a while and 2025 was strange/frustrating enough to put it down and rant into the netosphere.

2025 started with a lot of job uncertainty but I was wonderfully relaxed (strong positivity bias methinks) My previous job which I thought was permanent became victim to some ...

Speed reading.

I hate all of that. Mind you, in my time in product development I have witnessed management signing off designs that required front subframe removal to change the engine oil filter.

He literally died to own the libs.

I've often thought you should respect people who are sincere in their beliefs, and by his own actions he demonstrated that he clearly believed what he spouted.

I now know that you shouldn't respect people simply because they are sincere in their beliefs, so ...

Scott Adams, dies at 68 six months after a cancer diagnosis.

I wonder how long (if ever) it takes for the rose tinted glasses to come back for a deceased artist who was also a twat.

Man I miss snow. I'm at my mum's place a few hours from Melbourne helping for a few days and according to my Pixel phone thermometer the inside of the garage roller door was 60+ degrees... Absolutely miserable to try and do anything away from AC.

It's a very very very long story.

Yeah plenty of dust in our lounge room too

While they tied up the Henry/Mindflayer/11/Scooby gang storyline they did leave themselves the obvious prequel hook with that cursed stone the guy in the mine had.

I've not watched Adventure Time but I think I should.


"I remember you"

Just. Brilliant.


Fionna and Cake AT spinoff/multiverse/thing. Great stuff from the Adventure Time team, heavier going than the original with longer episodes and slower multi aspect story but two thirds of the way ...

Both drivers would go on to win Bathurst multiple times

Lots of drifty goodness there with what seems to be hilariously narrow tyres.

Stranger Things

Yeah we’ve waited far too long for this conclusion but just finished episode 4 and can say…

Brilliant… just fuckin’ brilliant

There may be a little too much comic relief in this series and it’s in danger of straying in into Harry Potter’s storyline but it doesn’t matter, it’s ...

They seem to have forgotten the art of the 5 day format

How little did we all know!

90s had an F1 winning lemans, a Viper winning N24 and an FD RX7 winning Bathurst 12 hour.

See above

Speaking of stupid Anaconda is incredibly dumb but for a very certain demographic with nostaglia for the "original", Guns n Roses and Sir Mixalot it's entertaining. I'm not sure how narrow that demographic is but myself and the mrs are in it.

The first two Avatar films are his highest grossing, and if I remember correctly the first one made the most money in the world, so in terms of its most important metric it’s his most successful film series.
I don’t think they’re made for adults though…


I watched True Lies for the umpteenth ...

Fancy giving yours a go mik?



Nupe :D

Although series1 bumpers are very hard to come by apparently, so a few folks who’ve had light front / rear Enders have had to fit later bumpers or aftermarket…..


That's really interesting, looks like a knock off of the narrow body Mansory kit which I ...

Quelle shock Avatar 3 is quite underwhelming. Lots of the usual Cameron spectacle and I would say the bits that were actually fiery and ashy were actually interesting but the mass rehashing of Avatar 2 was pointless and on reflection an annoying waste of time.

Zootopia 2 I am a complete sucker for ...

Disappointing developments at HG. Sells the interesting manual V12s, buys an abomination.
