OV9

The Capture on the beeb is quite good. All about CCTV and deep fakes, six episodes, one left to air. And Ron Perlman is in it.


Holy post resurrection batman, only recently discovered this on Netflix. You must have been commenting on season 1, but season 2 is even better. Really enjoyed both ...

Inside the Machine by David Twohig

This got mentioned on the Chris Harris podcast a while ago, so thought I'd give it a go. It's an autobiographical tale of David Twohig's career (I assume to date) in the automotive industry working his way up from being a graduate engineer starting at Nissan.

I ...

It is a different load path / profile isn't it? Any eccentricity on a centre lock is loading up the top and bottom of the thread more in opposite directions (moreso on cars with a bit of camber) eg. the rotation / torque applied to the eccentric wheel is therefore greater against the threads. With ...

One of those where you could easily see Oscar being in the same position, and the same result. Norris is certainly not the most aggressive driver out there. Expecting the team to swap them back was a bit ridiculous really.

Dull race on the whole though. I think McLaren's saving grace in terms of ...

@Marv when one puts it into context against what one has spent on the Elise, I'd say that the coffee adventure is quite a bit cheaper than the Lotus adventure! Value is purely about perception.

All reactions fair and justified. I justified it to myself (and the wife) because I got most of the cost covered on a long train delay recently.

I may have just gone and done something rather rash. :D


Thanks, now I want one.


HaHa, a friend introduced me to them ages ago. They used to be a lot cheaper and he'd bought one for his brother as a present. So I had a go at him yesterday for forcing me to get one by telling me about them ...

I have a mate that puts 2 tablespoons of ground coffee in a mug, pours boiling water on and drinks it. Sometimes stirs with aforementioned, tablespoon sometimes doesn't.


Like a fast Turkish/Greek coffee


Popular in Poland too I've found out (wife's family often do it like that), looks like ...

Might have missed it, but what's the consensus on a simple user friendly replacement for imgur?

I may have just gone and done something rather rash. :D

Promo image because imgur. :x

Insanely expensive, but I've already got it making superb espresso with bang average beans.

Rationale for purchase thus ...

Amazing Dan!

What did Chris say about the car? I want a full transcript of possible! ...but the highlights will do.

Sorry to hear about your mum

Imgur kicks me out occasionally and when I eventually get back in It takes me an age to find the right button to access my photos :D




Cheers guys - inevitable for all of us

The Imgur thing ( that seems to be intermittent ) is that it won’t give you the BB img ...

As an aside, I have been musing lately as to whether this is (on average) the best grid of drivers we've ever had? Most of the rookies are doing a job.

I haven't seen any benefits to the ground effect era cars in terms of the spectacle. The closeness is a function of the rules having not had significant changes for a while.


They do seem to be able to follow more closely, but it doesn’t really seem to help the overtakes, closeness of the ...

Saw someone doing the maths that said max no longer needs a McLaren dnf to theoretically win th driver’s championship
did he ever? there’s 7 races left, 175 points up for grabs and he’s only 69 points behind. He needs the others to fuck up, but it’s still all to play for.


Most people seem to ...

They're good, but I do like the green triangle.

We need answers. You must be wrong about this.

I got a Baratza Encore ESP last week, very happy with it.

Ah that's a shame, the whole point of them was that it's pretty close to zero risk.
