Excuse the ignorance and side tangent... I didn't realise you had a Caterham. Are you not quite tall? The only Caterham I've ever had the opportunity to sit in was Ben's (formerly of this shire)and my memory of it was that with the seat removed and me ...

Thanks for all the replies gents - sorry for the late response, snowed under with work.

Does anyone have take on when is too late in the year to try and do it? Like August/September?

Yes I saw that and it was pretty much my reaction. They really are nailing the 'pander to middle aged people with disposable cash' angle very well these days...

Team.

The Mrs and I are discussing doing a Euro road trip vaguely this time next year. (I'll come back to this bit later.) I also want to do the NC500, because when I lived in Scotland I never managed to get up above the Inverness -> Skye invisible line and because so far on my trips back something ...

Fun fact - I had a fantastic stout brewed with these coffee beans. Really, really great. Clicky

I've found this one has hit me off kilter. I'm a fan of many of his films (who isn't?) but it's who he was as a person that's always resonated. He seems to have summed up the quintessential decent Kiwi bloke - cared about things that matter and having little patience for the evils of the world. He's ...

Corolla update: We're into week six of "WTF is wrong with it?!"

Sorry to hear this Simon. Dogs really are the best of us, seeing them go is not cool at all.

Santori times?

Congrats!!!!

Is the TdF broadcast on YouTube or anything like that? You know, for those of us not in Europe.

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?
