Re: FTAO EV owners - possible action required before end of March-24

Took me a minute to get my head around all that, but yeah, that makes sense.

I've passed it on to my work Slack, as some of them have leccy cars.

I mean, they radio'd in a mayday saying they'd lost control of the vessel - you can have a dozen pilots, if you can't control it and you're at the whim of the currents, you're basically fucked regardless.

I'm a patron for someone who does daily content, and we have to tell him "no, don't pause your payments because you were in hospital for two weeks this month, that's not how this works, you're allowed to be ill". So, like, literally the opposite problem :lol: Throughout that he still manag...

The Graphtreon data (which just comes straight from the Patreon API) suggests plenty of people agreed. https://graphtreon.com/creator/badobsessionmotorsport They've lost nearly half their patrons since their peak in 2021 (4900, to 2900 and falling) - I think there are some categories of Patron who a...

Re: Baltimore Bridge Collision

Open data suggest it was dead in the water for just a few minutes, and in that time, drifted into the bridge. What caused this incident is still unclear, but BBC Verify has been looking at video of the collision and the Dali's travel history on ship tracking platform MarineTraffic. The container shi...

Re: EV Thread

The point of asking how many miles between rebuilds is that they're race applications, not road engines, and so are representative only of race engines, with almost no relation to actual production vehicles in any noticeable way. After all, we had >1000bhp, 50kg 1.5 litre engines in F1 in the 80s. W...

Deposit taken for E46, finally Guy is doing day work on building sites so should have the rest before the end of next week with any luck, then he can drive it away. He's asked if I can drive him to Preston so he can pick up an E36. Nah, you talk more than me, I think I'd go mad. It's weird seeing th...

Re: Selling Cars Privately

I had a guy offer me £3500 CASH for the BMW today, as it sits, shedlike. Same guy I mentioned before who was very very very very enthusiastic about buying it off me a couple of months ago. I told him I'd think about it then, and I've told him I'm keeping it now. Because frankly, he's a bit annoying...

Yeah, as the 'domestic appliance' car, it's reputedly very nicely put together, comfy, quiet - basically what you want out of a daily, and I quite like the slightly out there design, myself.
