He probably wants to keep the rest of his face, on his face

I now sleep through the night and don’t need the toilet first thing either. Basically back to normal then. CBDFTW.

Car / plane seats are great because they’re designed to be sat in in a fixed position for 3+ hours at a time. You can’t really adjust your position much while driving. Absolutely agree for car seats. Plane seats* often have short seat bases, so airlines can have a smaller pitch between the seat row...

Not F1, but some carnage from the WEC at Imola last month on the start-line and then into Tamburello

Don’t know anything about either driver, and their racing format like looks yawnsome….

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...

This is the worst of it:

That's rather annoying. And a real over the helmet. It's probably absolutely fine internally, but I guess you'd always be paranoid it might not be.....

That's numberwang

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...

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.

This thread feels very cliquey - since only pirates can participate.

Nope

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...

If it turns out to be correct - absolutely !! I'll be putting the price up by £1k

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.

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...

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...
