Re: Jerry can recommendations

@V8Granite I've wanted a proper Jerry can for ages as I agree they are an awesome design. But I've never had a need for one.... 20l is really too much for mower+chainsaw+leaf hoover+strimmer. I'd forgotten you could get short 10l versions though - just ordered one. 8-)

Re: Gliptone (aka liquid leather)

This may be news to me only, but the Gliptone products are now sold via Staingard. I see the GT11 & GT12 cleaner & conditioner that I’ve used in the past, so hopefully the same formulations rather than just the purchase of the brand. 8-)

It is pretty good. I finished E5 last night (travellers). It is erring a little towards the silly side, but still entertaining.

Re: Jerry can recommendations

You need to speak to @scotta or @Nefarious . Those who race on a budget do a lot of fuel storing and pouring. And if they are based in Scotland, spillage is - of course - minimal.

You'll need a decent funnel.

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

No. But it does mean that the first time you will have to pay VED is 01-Mar- 2026 , which just delays the start of this cycle for you to as late a point as possible. Not 2025? No - because the new VED rates are applicable as of 01-Apr-2025. (See the RAC link in my original post). Doing what is sugg...

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

I can't say I've ever tried it, but can you really re-tax your car when the existing tax hasn't run out ? I'd always rather assumed it needs to be SORNed or already expired or else "computer says no" because it doesn't need taxing. Yes - I followed the above process this morning. Mrs mik'...

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

Good evening. EV owners currently pay £0 per month, £0 per 6months, or £0 per year for VED. Our UK Government has now decided this is a BAD IDEA , and from 01-Apr-2025, EV's will be eligible for VED. See HERE . I do not own an EV, but I opened this thread. Should I just move along, nothing to see he...

I'm confident @IanF could have averted this.

I read elsewhere that there would indeed have been a pilot on-board for this section.

Two consecutive power losses apparently. (note - don't get too deep into the comments as it's filling up with 'Mercun conspiracy theorists. "This looks deliberate". "They KILLED the bow lights to further mask the approach" etc etc :roll: ) https://twitter.com/truth68201238/status...

What's the weight of something like that Dave - 100k tonnes and more ? Wiki say “The general weight of an average-sized cargo ship is somewhere around 165,000 tons, while smaller vessels weigh about 50,000 tons and larger vessels approximately 220,000 tons.“ Sheesh - imagine how heavy the EV ones w...

I guess you just have to understand it’s a skill which takes practise That. I chatted to the bloke who did mine and he’d been doing it exclusively for years.

I'm pretty sure I could solve all his problems with my magic beans. They are worth £15k, but I will let him have them for only £13,500 'cos I feel sorry for him. :?
