I only met YK the once and he was having a tough day at Snetterton.
But even though he'd dinged the pride and joy he was still happy to chat to a fellow car guy and radiated positivity.
A fine gentleman.

Re: The Movie Thread
David Leitch double bill this weekend. Finally got around to catching up with Bullet Train Friday which was enjoyably mental action and then suitable enthused went to The Fall Guy today which was more mental, even more fun and suitable enough for the Yoblettes to come along. Great soundtrack too.

Re: The Movie Thread
I initially thought that's baffling how it happens but then remembered that Peter Jackson /& Co made The Hobbits trilogy that sucked beyond reason too.
Rebel Moon Pt1 was so bad, I'm almost tempted to watch pt2 to see if it supplants Screamers as worst Sci Fi movie I've ever seen.

Enjoying the Lotus article. That ammount of ownership shenanigans is not unexpected but I don't know who's having a worse cultural influence on who, Geely or Lotus? New site formatting on a 32" monitor of the text down to a relatively narrow column looks a little odd but works ok. Hyperlinks ki...

Re: No F1 thread?
So if the engines are going to be working flat out as generators thereby using more fuel, does that not make the use of a hybrid powertrain pointless? Potentially "flat out" at peak efficiency revs not peak rpm. The instantaneous fuel consumption limit kinda cripples the current engines a...

Yeah, I thought him going from Witcher to WH40k is basically a rod for his back. You literally have the star power mate, just ask them to delay production for a couple of years, they'll do it . All he's done now is infuriate one fan base, and taint another - good job . Didn't Caville bail on The Wi...

Re: Decent Recent TV
Yeah, don’t send an SF team that are deployed for this sort of thing all the time and would probably not kill every man, woman and child on board.. just slice up an entire ship and then miraculously find the (undamaged) item in the 1000 tons of twisted, burning metal. Oh and then it’s unbreakable e...

Re: Dangerous beers...
8% Ginger beers over summer are a recipe for extreme naptime.
Ginger Kid my favourite although tbh I think 4% leads to a longer more enjoyable session in the sun.

The whole notion that slicing the ship to pieces was the best way to recover that information was ludicrous, probably one of the absolute weakest parts of the whole show. That was my favourite b...

They don't understand falsehoods because they're nearly a hive mind, individual thoughts are "broadcast". Afaik they do have imagination. Why they didn't use their tech to stabilise their solar system isn't explained but I guess shifting several suns away from one another is beyond even d...

My first autumnal cycle to work this morning and I berated three other riders for running stupid bright front lights pointed up at eye level.
