Re: The Motorbikerist Thread
Well quite, and I had a perfectly unmarked helmet before, and now i have one full of chips and a small crack on the chin bit. So, no thank you. The ballache is it's a Shoei Neotec 2, which is no longer made. So it will need replacing with a Neotec 3 I expect you've probably considered this, but (wh...

Re: Ebrahim Raisi
Reports are saying that the heli was an old Bell 212. 2-rotor, twin engine. I have no idea what kinda tech is on-board, but these first went on sale in the late 60's, with (had to go and check) final deliveries in the late 90's. So the Heli was at least 26yrs old - likely older. Obviously I have zer...

Re: Your fleet running reports
W8’s are undeniably fascinating, but they fall into the same category for me as the ZT260 in that you wonder what became of the other 80+ bhp the spec sheet suggests they should have.

Re: Addictive Word/Puzzle Games
Have added it to my daily "round". Not as fiendish as the TV version, but worth a minute or two. Ironically, I keep forgetting about it. :oops: Today's is a good example of when americanisms (or an american lens) thwart your efforts. I wasn't aware of most of their "classic party gam...

Re: Your fleet running reports
So new bolts, or existing with some extra washers? Just to prove the concept of course..... and you can then replace with new bolts just before you sell it.Sundayjumper wrote: ↑Fri May 17, 2024 9:48 amIf it turns out to be correct - absolutely !! I'll be putting the price up by £1k

Re: Today’s want
Still don't understand why manufacturers continue with "Gear Stick" in automatics. Merc's stalk is way better and leaves a much cleaner centre console That's one of the things I could not get used to in the EQA we had recently. I'd be fine if it was a separate stalk on the RHS, but making...

Re: Today’s want
I really like some of that Morgan - wheels and doors for example 8-) . Removal of the windscreen however is IMHO turtley stoopid. :evil: It really needs a gear knob like this one. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/proxy/9PhOf2j-lhEVpjG_3RdI_E_9sl21s7svil0YWoxEDjn82h3YXjOr4WE5fxtiiKeMoK0xHHR2VqwHoRE8...

Re: Randomness
The genius Bobby Fingers. I posted before about his dioramas of Mel Gibson getting arrested for drink driving and Michael Jackson's hair getting set on fire during a shoot for a Pepsi commercial , so this is the obvious follow up: the Jeff Bezos Rowing Boat. It's nearly half an hour but I promise y...

Re: The Wine Thread
I used to be fiend for buckfast tbh. I used to neck a bottle of it before I went out. I went to a wedding not so long back where groom #1’s family got on the bus and all started tanning Bucky - we rolled most of them off the bus for the evening service. I thought they were nuts until the mum of gro...

Re: Your fleet running reports
Is a biscuit tin more practical than a faraday cage bag thingydoodah? Do you want to keep your keys safe whilst enjoying a wee chocolate hob nob when you head out in the car? It was cheaper ! Would a bag be better ? Genuine question. If the bag’s advantage is portability, surely it’s only useful if...

Re: Uber Black: Ar$e reviews of back seats
Not Uber Black, but I was in the back of a new C-class taxi today for just over an hour. The seat base was so short and uncomfortable that I messaged ScottA to moan about it… and he’s not even partly responsible!

Re: Today’s want
Was away on business this week in Europeland. Was picked up from the hotel by a colleague I hadn’t met before in a 1989 Volvo 740 Estate. 215,000 km, scruffy outside, but not a squeak, rattle or clunk. Brakes were silent and pulled it up straight. My favourite part was a 4speed box with overdrive on...
