Where to get (decent quality) impact driver bits?

Have a cheap manual impact driver which works fine, but the bits appear to be made of cheese. Would like to buy some decent bits, but it’s hard to find them as some walloper also decided to also call a new and completely different tool an Impact Driver :evil: I want bits for an Impact Driver https:/...

Impressive indeed. I was delighted to see that the first thing he did was turn off that cringefestival "N-Shift" bullshit. :)

Re: Your fleet running reports

Eldest miklet had an advisory on his Civic at the last MOT (6 months ago :roll: ) for his rear discs & pads. I’ve learned that prodding him excessively to sort shizzle on his cars invariably leads to us falling out, so I watched him wait until they brakes started complaining. So he’s had to urge...

Re: Jack envy

Never tried one, but the 150mm low-height would put me off (and the 400mm fully-raised height isn’t that impressive either). I meant in addition to a regular jack, not instead of. Times where you need to jack something in the middle of the car and don't have room to crank a normal jack handle up &a...

My SGS jack is doing great. It’s performed duties on the Evora, my son’s Civic and Mrs mik’s weight-of-a-small-moon-eTron.

Re: Your fleet running reports

It's only just occurred to me - belm - is there a decent RR forum ? Classifieds there might be a good place to look. Never used it, but it’s a sister forum to the Disco3/4 which I did use and it was very good informative with people happy to take the time to explain shizzle. https://www.fullfatrr.c...

I thought he was going to go up the side road Hard to judge the speed with the slo-mo, but I think he was going too fast and/or off-balance to make it. Had just collided with the bike now behind him, who missed a gear and slowed suddenly. Higher-res version now on the tube. House residents seem obl...

Steve Albini

I'm not particularly aware of his work as an artist, but he produced / studio engineered some absolute belters.

RIP.

Beautiful colour
I'm not usually the greatest fan of red paint, but that looks great. Funky seats too. And great to see that it has a healthy 84k-odd miles on it too - so you can still drive it! 8-)
