Bloody marvelous.

I also REALLY like that first one... The yellow Pegasus is an excellent touch.

It's not slow is it? :lol:


Do Toyota not do the thing where if it’s serviced with a main dealer they’ll keep the warranty rolling over there? Also if you’ve presented a fault before the warranty has expired then it’s covered even if the repair ...

Cancer can get to fuck. Watching both parents go through it, my mum when I was a kid, then Dad a few years ago was eye opening for me. The differences you pick up as an adult versus a child etc. Either way though, fucking hateful. I'm genuinely grateful NZ has an end-of-life provision such that if I ...

We have the Corolla in the shop at Toyota currently after a warning message popped up on the screen 'Caution brake power low, pull over' complete with an alarm. This had happened once before a while back and it went in and they reset the fault code. This time, I took it out in a quiet space and did ...

Chris, you need to join the Amplified Netherlands FB group - it's the only way I get to watch the race each year.

That's beautiful in its own right. Congrats.

I've found the temptation to own some old cameras quite significant, but I have enough photography shit as it is without adding more to it for the sake of being pretty. Let's say I'm a little envious.

Pics please!

Non educated gaming numpty here... If I have a PS5 am I going to have to buy an Xbox to play this?

And an aside, but one of my favourite song (drum) contrasts is Foo Fighters Walking After You .

The original album track is a great song.

But the
single version featured Hawkins on the drums with some sublime snare work. Absolutely love it. 8-)


(edit: I'm not suggesting that the only change ...

I think that goes in the 'just because you can doesn't mean you should' bucket.

I still refer to papadums as 'big crisps' in honour of Beany at one of these curry nights, and I never even went to one.

... I figured you lot would at least appreciate the theme track we managed to get for this one 8-)


I'm curious from a music nerd point of view - how do you get Seal's track and arrange it with all the other game elements/rearrange it for that trailer? Is it all done in-house with you guys, or ...

...but there wasn't enough of the induction noise you get in the F1, it just sounded like fucking loud exhaust all the time.


Sorry to go back to the T50 for a moment, but this. I don't think the T50 sounds that great from inside or outside, it's all just a bit 'shriek and scream' and no ...

[On that basis I'm looking at cable / streaming TV options from Sky and Virgin but they're all crap these days and don't offer any recording function so for things like F1 they seem hopeless and you're just reliant on the streams being available (which according to threads online, they often aren ...

5 or 8 for me

I love these kinds of videos comparing different drums. Unfortunately the Mrs has cottoned onto the fact I love them enough she's figured out how many snare drums I own and I'm getting the evils...

Yep, handle towards the street, placed parallel to where the neighbours opposite put their bin, for maximum efficiency.


I knew you and I got on for a reason, that's almost arousing.

In NZ, the bins have a set of 'this way you moron' instructions printed on the lids (as in moulded in, not a ...

We have a family friend who lives in Florida who has just been over to visit. According to them there is still a very large percentage of the population who think the orange idiot can do no wrong, bizarre.


Ironically enough, perhaps the strongest argument I've seen for rounding up a portion of ...

That feather duster for the taxi is so awesome

Kappabashi Street has probably 15 knife shops that size, just for your next visit

I'll be honest gents, I'm not a 'Japan car scene' fan either, I generally think they look awful and they're not my vibe. My buddy Ash is though, he has a wicked Mk4 Supra with the volume turned up, a 1-of-8 Lexus ISF special, two Civics and I think four MX5s currently. I was more of the mind that ...

How to spend three days in Japan with car nerds... Technically it was four, but by the time we got out of the airport, got the hire car and had dinner close to our Air BnB about an hour out of Tokyo in Chiba, it was gone 9pm and we crashed. So other than a nice cheesy beef donburi, day one had ...
