When a tyre wears down, does it have the same rolling radius as a new tyre, due to the tyre flexing like tank tracks?

What colour are moles?

There's sadly been a few high-profile cases recently of cyclists jumping red lights, colliding with a pedestrian and the pedestrian dying. Do that in a car and you can get 14 years for dangerous driving. The same law doesn't apply to cyclists and the archaic "wanton or furious" offence* t...

He wasn't just admitting to it, he was gloating about it. Nasty piece of work.

Sounds like a decent explanation...

(Alpine seem to have forgotten that they had to take up the option on Piastri by August the 1st, and Piastri will have signed for McLaren to replace Ricciardo.)

Given what happened in today's race, I can't help but feel you're right

That did confuse me for a moment, as it's so much more common for a pole sitter to have one or two purple sectors

A well deserved pole position

Also, fuck setting up new phones :x :evil: 4 different authenticators (!) to reconfigure, 5 different banking apps to sign back into, and numerous other apps to sign back into....at which point you've forgotten the login details and have to reset everything. with iPhones you just hold your new one ...

Yep

I'm expecting the first week or so of the swap to be a bit of a struggle

Let's see if I can get along with iOS this time round

I remember someone saying many, many pages ago that once Boris finally fucks off, he'll deem everything he did a success and pat himself on the back.

Given what he said crappy leaving speech today, whoever predicted that was very correct

BenB rented a (4wd I think) F-Type one time he came up with a small group - he’s not regularly on here now, but he is on Twitter (@BenB_7). @Marv hired a Caterham too, but that was picked up around Inverness from memory. Not too far from Elgin, Sir Mikalot of Scotlandishire. Just looking at the web...

Maybe they weren't ready for him to leave at that point!

The Metroid has gone :( :( Bought in 2001, the first car I took an engine to bits on, the first car I changed a gearbox on, the first car I engine swapped. The first car I took to a trackday, first car I took to an airfield day, first car I took round a sprint course, first car I took down a drag s...

Thought Harry might mention a certain forum when he mentioned the website, but alas no!

Years ago I insured my 968 with Hagarty, they were far, far cheaper than elsewhere. For my renewal they sent me a letter saying they're changing it so they weren't insuring modern classics in the age range of my 968 anymore, so there will be no renewal, thank you and goodbye. Haven't tried them sinc...

That's a real shame
