ScottA and I have discussed several times that one of these would make an interesting track toy.

You’re never going to be the fastest car on track, but 200bhp in a tweaked MX5 should be plenty quick enough to be entertaining, whilst being easy on all the consumables.

Like that. What a surprise - big expensive house, tastefully done, in presumably a rather nice area, with a glass wall to the garage*.

Sounds great, I'll add it to my shortlist of places to go for a nice meal (just over an hour away from home)

As the wife is still 100% carnivore going out to eat can be tricky as most BBQ places we see are smothered in sugary sauces.

Really really good. The kids had all they could eat for £15 and £10 as Connor is still under 10.

Adults one was £42.50p each and both ...

This looks quite tiring :lol:


I only watched the first 1m30 without sound. Initial thoughts
- I would have crashed in the first few bends many times over.
- At what point will the cod river have a chance to reach for that water bottle?
- How ...

Long term user of Michelin CrossClimates on the Yeti.
Swift has Contis but they are a weird size at 195/45R17. General consensus from the FB group seems to be Goodyear Eagle F1 Asy6, 205/45R17

I remember those days - I used to pay to have my cat refitted for every MOT and then removed again on my Sport160 :lol:


Reminds me of my Megane. I had high hopes on keeping the decat between MOTs but it was £300+ labour to remove it, let alone refit. Took it off for the first MOT I had to get ...

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 ...

I just wanted to post this further example of the fervour of the public about nothing in particular :D


"The thing is, I really love a right good jacket spud with all the filling in, so I thought, why not?"

iirc when I bought the Yeti the spec was important, plus price/mileage/condition/history
conversely, the Swift... beyond wanting 5dr vs 3dr, there's only one spec for the later model I was after at the time, so the only other spec element was the colour

Generally I'd narrow down to the spec I want.

This vid popped up on my YT recommendations.

How come I never noticed one of the Ferrari mechanics doing a running headbutt into the wall, shortly after he told Filipe Massa's family he hadn't won the championship :lol:

:lol: never noticed that either ...

Ahh, you can’t help read his quotes with his voice in your head. RIP Quentin.

Short doors make life so much easier in car parks though.

Autechre is one I've never got into though now and again feel I should given them a listen. See also Apex Twin, Cabaret Voltaire. Similarly, I heard Throbbing Gristle for the first time recently, which led me to Chris and Cosey aka Carter Tutti, which led me to Factory Floor, who I saw live the ...

i had a few hours of fettling today on the Lotus. I had a little list of stuff:

- reattach the battery where i’d disconnected it and fit a new cable for my ctek after the old one snapped.

- sort out the handbrake light. there’s a little lever which i presume had broken off that presses a button ...

Want one of those! iirc I saw one at the Farnborough EV motor show thing. Looked massive close up.

Swift in for its annual service.

Whilst drinking their coffee and using their wifi, I'm asked, 'your rear tyres have more tread than the fronts, do you want us to move those wheels to the front for you?'
Me: 'No thanks, the car pulled to the left a bit, before they were swapped around last time ...

There was a balloon badge on the back advertising their business.

Also Y3LOH on a very yellow GT-86

@Rich B

Damn. There's my playlist for tonight sorted.

RIP.

I appreciate seeing pretty much anything over 30years old that’s in good condition and still being used, even if I thought they were utter crap at the time and wouldn’t ever want to own one.

So yes, I probably would give a really clean tidy non rusty early Ford Ka a second glance, or a mk1 mondeo ...
