Re: No F1 thread?

It might be nice if there was a fund that could be used to encourage smaller teams to take on less experienced drivers, or drivers without significant backing of their own

Kind of how in the NFL, the worst team gets the chance to pick first from each year's draft of new players

Re: The Movie Thread

American Fiction (Amazon Prime) Really enjoyed this Not sure how to describe it without giving too much away Basically about a black author in the US who's torn between "worthy" literature and pandering to a largely white readership by producing material that reinforces some racial stereo...

Re: Decent plain t-shirts

The best I've found, for the slimmer gent who wants something a bit fitted is the Teejay T520 (link below) I came across these because they're used for my company's branded t-shirt - and they pretty much fit me perfectly They're also really cheap c£13 and come in a load of colours They hold their sh...

Re: Jerry can recommendations

You can buy a spout for metal Jerry cans so you won’t have to call the environment agency each time you fill your mower. Halfords sell 20l Jerry cans and they’re fine despite being quite tinny. If you have a military show/event locally that’s where to find the best ex mod/nato jerry cans. They last...

I have a perception (based on not much at all) that the PVD coating could chip and damage (revealing the steel below) - is that a thing?

Doesn’t state where it will do 0-60 in 1 second. It may be being pushed off a cliff… The two seater dragster I went in at Santa Pod does 0-60 in about a second (and about 60 feet too) Maybe if the Tesla was fitted with super sticky drag tyres and was running on a prep'd dragstrip it's feasible?
