Re: The Weather Thread.

That truck was huge, but I didn't see anything get the better of it all day, there were some big power cars there but nothing could get the power down until near the end of the run.

I'm surprised no one came off the bikes, they had some big wobbles!

Re: Where to get (decent quality) impact driver bits?

Teng stuff isn't great but also isn't terrible.

For home use they will be fine.

Re: The Weather Thread.

Glorious weather in Sheffield yesterday, 22 degrees and sunshine, finally. We were going to Bridlington for race the waves which is basically hot rods and customs drag racing along the beach. As we approached Bridlington the sun disappeared and the temperature dropped and then the fog :cry: Had a w...

Re: Your fleet running reports

I've been at 'Race The Waves' in Bridlington all weekend and stayed at my parents, we've been down to see the various hot rods, big American pick ups, what looked a lot like a Hudson Hornet, and god knows what else drag racing down the beach all weekend, well, mainly today, as yesterday was so foggy...

Re: 2023 Events - what's worthwhile?

Race The Waves in Bridlington this weekend, never been before but appears to be random old stuff and hot rods drag racing down the beach.

I'd say I'll update with pictures but there's no chance I can ever do that!

Re: Coffee beans

We have a local roaster in Baildon called Casa Espresso and their Volcano beans are absolutely amazing, in fact all their coffee is.

As proof I (we) really don’t understand women, this one has been messaging me more in the last few days than she did whilst dating, making it sound like this was a push for more commitment (??) and so we are meeting up for a chat later.. maybe she reads this forum!? 🤣 Tl;dr - woman be crazy!

Re: New TV Tiime

I think my current downstairs is the C version but a 55, I'm interested to see what the difference is between that and this g panel, apparently it has a special coating on the screen as well but I'll have a look once it's out the box, if the stand turns up today !

Re: New TV Tiime

Well it's turned up, it seemed too good to be true but :D

Just waiting for the stand to come now as the G3 is made for wall mounting, but the G panel is better than the C so it was worth getting this and buying a stand, seems odd but that's LG.

Re: New TV Tiime

I've got one in the living room already, I was hoping they'd give me a voucher as I don't really need a new TV, but this is a G3 and I think mine is a G2 so it's a bit of an upgrade I suppose. I have an amp that all the stuff goes through so we don't use the TV speakers much anyway, I've ordered a s...

Re: New TV Tiime

Our old Philips Ambilight TV upstairs has broken again, so they came and picked it up yesterday to try repair it, again (4th time). I got a text to say they can't repair it and to go on and choose a new TV, the "like for like" ones were all crap, but for 10 English pounds, I upgraded to th...

Re: BBQs

I've just bought a cheap 4 burner with a side burner from Sainsbury's, said missing 2 wheels on the box and bolts and was 120 quid down from 200. Thought I'll just pinch them off the old bbq. Opened it when I got home, the wheels and the bolts were in a black box inside the grill which was still se...

Re: Your fleet running reports

Sadly to even it out, my wife has been using the XF for her commute whilst I've been in LA and it's done 80 liters of diesel in three weeks. Big diesels are great for distance, but not for short journeys, also had a yellow DPF Full, drive car message, she did a 20 mile up and down the a road journey...

Re: Motorway Mile Munchers

8-) They're great cars, I'm sad that Jaguar shelved the replacement as it looked great, this will be the last proper Jaguar they ever made really, the new XF and XE were nowhere near sadly. Keep an eye on oil dilution (you can force an oil level reading by having the ignition on and opening the bonn...

Re: Your fleet running reports

is it a PHEV? Yep 2.5 PHEV. so it's not really 80mpg, you're putting in electricity too. My M2 does around 5000 miles per gallon (of oil - I'm ignoring the petrol for my calculation). I'm not paying for the electricity, and you don't measure consumption of electric in gallons, so I'm 100% sure it's...

Re: Your fleet running reports

It's a Ford though! I had the same thought when I got the focus. It doesn’t make any untoward noises at all and feels better put together than the fabia courtesy car I had recently. Pleasantly surprised, I expected at least one squeak or rattle from a 4 year old car Yeah i'd certainly get another F...

Re: Your fleet running reports

Just passed 10k in the Kuga, averaged 81.7 MPG overall since I've had it, no creaks, rattles or issues, it's been a superb car, I'd certainly recommend one as a family car. Massive boot, loads of space in the car, great seats, stereo, and it even manages to be quite fun to drive. If I ordered again...
