Loved it

Really frustrating that this isn't getting any international release even in places where the original TV show (and a spin off local version) are shown like Aus.

Wildwood went in blind but expecting a well animated kids movie. I got

Spoiler

Narnia dropped into LOTR with a side helping of Labyrinth

and it's amazing.

Go see it.
Just not with little kids.

Ironically the PSVR2 seems to be the best value headset for a PC too. With the new emulators coming online maybe PC can play GT7.

I mentioned that small fortune quote (a bit mangled admittedly 😄😶) to Jobbo at the curry and he'd never heard it! Always thought it was an Aston Martin quote but apparently it's Carroll Shelby 🤷‍♂️


Interesting, might date back to the 30s 'cording to the internetz https://quoteinvestigator.com ...

How to make a small fortune in sports cars...

I wish them luck, certainly room for a new Elise/Exige alike.

I'm struggling to think of anything quite as stupid as performative gear shifting.

I'm not sure why but the Zonda having a Mercedes V12 never bothered me (possible because it sounded incredible) but the AMG V8 being used in an 850k car I wouldn't be happy with at all, particularly as it sounds worse in flat plane guise than in normal cross-plane format.


Just more layers ...

I'm really cautious about dropping the money on one - I've only tried one VR headset and I got chronic motion sickness from it, as well as a headache from the pressure of it on my head.

I really, really wanna go that way though. My old plasma TV with screenburn of the rev counter is fine and all ...

Lotus promo vid for the Emira 420.

I like the visuals, but the 420 uses the AMG 4-pot. Whereas the soundtrack on this vid sound rather more like the Toyota V6 than the AMG unit..... :?

Am I losing my mind? (And my "Silver" achievement in the old Phillips Golden Ears challenge)? :?


Yup ...

I did like the diff check at the end.

Be fair, it took Harry many years to settle on Valkyrie rather than Vaulrickie.

Death of a Unicorn wasn't on my radar as reviews were very meh, Mrs wanted to see it though so sat down with her and really enjoyed it. Very very silly but knowingly so and although the CGI was ropey it's not that kind of film.

Outstayed it's welcome by only about ten minutes which is pretty good ...

It irks me that the price gap to the quest 3 is so big and I'm not sure if it makes me angrier at Meta for stealing at least that price difference in personal info or the AI slopboom that hurled my hopes of the Frame being reasonably priced into the distance.

I'm in the lottery for one but no idea ...

Although I'm debating disassembling and storing lots of my Lego and associated brick products to free up shelf space I love W&G and will probably get that.

Iain Tyrrell drives the XJ13, magnificent shot of the throttle linkages at work.

The end of Oak Street quite good fun, certainly superior to the last half dozen Jurassic Parks. Very B movie/VHS aesthetic, ending is a bit by commitee but Anne Hathaway gets all the passes from me.

Good luck, have fun, don't die Groundhog day meets the Matrix with a lot of weird. I liked it ...

And with a dab of oppo, he was gone.

Very cool , I was right into Hillclimbing my MR2 years ago and it was a lot of fun, but frustratingly little track time for an entire day. Similar to the UK, lots of Aus hillclimbs are still run on unsanitised old tracks that will bite very hard.

Looks generic,

At least 650 and 720 had distinctive styling.

Saw Odyssey at the IMAX in Birmingham (alas, not the proper IMAX). Despite it being *deafeningly* loud, thought it was otherwise great. Chugged along at a great pace despite the 3 hour runtime. Recommended.

Also saw Spiderman , which I thought was fantastic. Highly recommended.

Tom Holland ...
