Gear knob screws onto the shaft, but you then lock it with a grub screw to ensure it’s oriented correctly. You are describing the location of said grub screw.

Just piling it up and leaving it over winter makes pretty good fertiliser - mrs mik grew tatties & beets last year in pretty much this alone.

Yer link is Barried Mr Owner.

I saw a commercial airliner at low level yesterday in Johnyforeignland with a fighter jet sitting about 25m off it's wing tip as it was (presumably) coming in to land.

I wonder how much difference it would make. Docs today take a very conservative approach to protect their patients and themselves - I don't beleive there is really any downside to them signing someone off for stress/anxiety/whatever (?) so they tend to take a cautious decision. There isn't time duri...

Shame about the HRH536 - I assumed it would be all of the awesumes.

Very Hal-esque

Possibly useful vid (grit your teeth though - this dude is vying with Shmee for the highest rating on my unbearableometer).

Excellent news. Hope you manage to find one in your spec.

The drive felt very Evora-like to me, but the Emira is far prettier. Particularly side by side.

Hyundai Bayon 24V in Johnnyforeignland this week. Disappointingly that V stands for volts as opposed to valves. It's absolutely fine as a hire car that I'm not seeking tactile pleasure from - the most important elements being easy to figure out cruise control (check) and quick-connecting apple carpl...

Non-alcoholic beers don't appeal to me. I'd rather have a water or a "proper" soft drink.

Merc EQA supplied by Audi... right hand stalk is dedicated to drive selection, leaving the left stalk to do indicators, front & rear wipers, and presumably manual dim/dip of the lights too. This is possibly “standard merc” but it seems a bit stoopid initially. Mrs mik called me from her commute...

No. I thought you said you were all right mik.

Hey Mik, you going to get the papers, get the papers??

As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be an ov9 forum member.

OV9 airlines?

Had a truly superb visit to M-Sport (previously Malcolm Wilson Motorsport) yesterday, courtesy of the Borders Driving Club - mainly 'cos scotta wangled a place for himself and another for me. Cheers dude 8-) https://www.m-sport.co.uk/ What. A. Facility :shock: Scott got separated from the convoying ...

Merc EQA supplied by Audi to cover us until they have fixed Mrs mik’s etron. That’ll do nicely. Have only taken it up the road and back, but initial thoughts (which will make me look like an ungrateful moany git) : whilst the interior is far from unpleasant, the big vents in the centre are a bit chi...

JOB 50N spotted today in Carlisle.

Relative of Jobb?

@scotta - you need to update yours
