OV9

Have they actually made it into orbit yet?! No but the performance of the booster and starship seems to be more than enough to do that when they want to. The Starship was several hundred kilometres altitude a the peak of it's suborbital flight yesterday. Haven't looked into their long term test pla...

The booster landed on the launch pad, caught by the chopsticks. Just watching on tv, but the landing doesn’t look real! Quite incredible and barely believable I agree. Starship itself got a bit melted again on re-entry but still seemed to make a gentle splashdown impressively close to the camera dr...

I'm not sure I see the point of letting off fireworks in your back garden anyway, they're bound to be quite shit compared to a proper display. And pretty expensive - a mate and I agreed to get some a few years back. we both dropped £50 and had about 6 or 7 fireworks TOTAL I really don't know why an...

Announcement of Emira SE with 400bhp for "2025" seems to have been low key? You were ahead of the UK press. https://www.pistonheads.com/news/ph-britishcars/lotus-launches-400hp-emira-turbo-se/49069 Yeah it is odd, it even appeared in Aus press three days before I noticed the news article ...

Senna meets Nevera with a side order of meh in the styling dept.

Nearly 1:1 hp\kg is potentially exciting.

They should nick Lamborghini's high revving V8 though.

I.. I... Whut?! That is weird for so many reasons, what did the pilot think he was firing at? Russia is not a super power. It's an oil well with delusions of grandeur. Perun's video "How corruption destroys armies" is fantastic (as are all his videos) although now two years old. Last week...

I suppose that heavy drone and F16 are both single engined unlike most other planes in the air war there.

Not so "smart" but I recently bought a Solar filter for my little reflector. Daytime observations have been good fun, the spots change every day and maybe some day I'll see a mass ejection.

His mention of "AI" looking at those lovely suspension parts did irritate me though, structural optimiser programs have produced shapes like those for a long time. They're just expensive to make fully optimised for mass, nothing AI about it AFAIK. Its actually 3D printing that has unlocke...

Timcalculator and a call to Ocean Finance may be required, but… https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202406170830673 https://m.atcdn.co.uk/a/media/w600/430bc68598594425aab936d2cbf81338.jpg S3 Roadster is one of my favourites, not that you can't "convert" the hardtop with a small amoun...

Enjoyed Harry's look at the Bugatti and the good Autobahn run in the Countach. His mention of "AI" looking at those lovely suspension parts did irritate me though, structural optimiser programs have produced shapes like those for a long time. They're just expensive to make fully optimised ...

Well Lotus could help GMA with their logo and GMA could help Lotus rediscover its soul, sort production out, school them on how to get along with suppliers and tutor on how to design a modern car under a tonne.

Ferrari's parts service sounds craptacular in his latest video too.

Imagine paying the labour to have clutch seals replaced three times because "new" parts are stuffed out of the box.

Ugliness of the Purple GT3 was nothing in comparison to the new Toyota Crown EV blobmobile... I had the misfortune to see a pic of a new Land Cruiser the other day. WTF has gone wrong at Toyota ?? I assume the excuse is "the Chinese market demands it". https://ns0.qmotor.com/File/Images/c...

Photos? ;) Too lazy to download and to old to work out wtf is going on with Imgur these days. I've now stuck them up on the Facebooks' Not the Evo forum. Edit. Maybe, perhaps I can no longer work Facebook and should shun technology completely. editit. yes I fail at Facebook too. Just seen you've pu...

Melbourne cars and coffee this today had some ace stuff. Purple GT3RS wasn't one of them. All that aero shite may be "effective" but it's it's a bit too bloated pretend racecar for me. 996 GT3 parked nearby was so much neater. Highlight wasn't the blisteringly red Diablo but a Mazda AZ1 lo...

Looks legendary, and deservedly so.

There are a couple of official sets that come with multiples of troopers I think, folk tend to buy a couple of them to farm the minifigs. Or AliExpress. You can get knockoff mini figures on Ali Express?? 🤯 I guess that makes sense though! I keep an eye on the Lepin Reddit and there's plenty of alte...
