edit: I am not hugely convinced by more conventional hybrids or PHEV's that alternate between power sources. The idea of driving 10 miles on purely electric, and the car brain then kicking in the ICE from cold in order to accelerate down a motorway slip-road makes me wince. I'm not sure why... Whil...

https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6_dZAhOuaq/?igsh=Mnlram12NDVpbzB3 That's a full bottle of 'fuck yes!' 8-) Think how much cooler it would be without PDK though... It does also remind me of the trip I did to the 'ring before I left Europe in 2007 (with Nebpor, Balmer, Patrick, Andys 1 and 2 of this f...

We're nearing starting work on our place. Three bathrooms to be redone (including one new skylight), a laundry, a damaged extraction hood over the cooker (and its resultant damage to ceiling) and lining of a shed. This has been some time in coming, partially due to my partner's utter lack of decisio...

Mik's rules actually influence this, alongside Catchpole's video. If I've got to drive it regularly, and it monetarily has no value to me (I don't have kids so I don't care about leaving it to someone) then the answer is T50 for the driving thrills, but with the F1's induction sound please. All that...

A thousand times this.

But then when you compare the Bathurst 12hr to other 12 or 24hr endurance races, it doesn't have the gravity (yet) so maybe a Bathurst race isn't worth considering?

What I've always wondered is how do the captains know when to instruct you to put the seatbelt on? Can you see it approaching? Is it data driven, or do you get a heads up from Fred 100km in front of you that their crew just lost their lunch? In my head I like to imagine that you're reading it all ah...

I'm just stopping by to say this thread has made me properly chortle many times. Bravo.

I'm using it to mask the tears of dealing with my own woman issues...

Lando's win must be just about the most universally loved and approved race win I can remember. Literally everyone thought it was awesome. Good on him for having both the talent and being a nice enough guy no one can really dislike him if they tried.

I admit I laughed my head off quite a lot through that, but fuck you've got to be careful which mates you share it with

We use one of these. And then the older 2600ac and two MR2200ac units as the mesh system. Absolutely flawless.

Well that's lovely. Personally I would have preferred the Shuttle and it's rockets and tanks and launch pad gubbins, but still...

Before I left the museum I worked at, they were well on the way to implemented a wifi system which could locate a user accurately enough within the building to know what they were stood in front of and which way they were facing. The purpose of this, far from being sinister was to support guided tou...

I LOL'd

I'm going to take a photo of my cellar (actually a fridge not running really cold) which is full of either sours at 8% or stouts at 10% all aging nicely.

It's something I've started doing here more recently, I'd rather driver for 9-10hrs down the longer routes to get between Wellington and Auckland than fly and be door-to-door in 4. I'm especially enjoying it when I'm on my own too... Just the road and seeing things. Fucking great. Driving around the...

I like the idea of craft beer nerd thread... Except everything I can show you lot you won't be able to get (with perhaps the exception of Yeastie Boys) and most of the UK stuff we get here is fairly run of the mill. When I was back last Nov/Dec I have to say, I found it pretty difficult to get acces...

Not sure what code to use to embed this??

We have similar issues with rats being right by the water it's almost impossible to solve. Every house on the street has them running around somewhere. Currently using a series of ultrasonic devices round the place - noticeable decrease in signs of rats in the ceilings, though I did hear something a...

Would totally do this, if I had a 3D printer.

I'd totally have that but the 21" faux Fuchs are gopping. Shitty design trying to be relevant when they never can be without being numerous inches smaller.

I can't help but think that the vast majority of Tuthill's cars, especially something like the K have got it spot on. Early Singers have it for me too, they nailed the design in the same way we praise Jony Ive for reinventing carboard boxes for phones as an experience. They've become cliche as the d...
