My old track day helmet was that old that the interior lining turned to dust

Nice new lid. I dug out my AGV helmet as I was intending to drive the Super 3 on my Morgan trip the other week - which didn't transpire, we got the much faster and safer Supersport instead, alongside the Plus Four.
I ...

Have an Aeropress and use it when we're camping without electricity but the Dolce Gusto machine wins for day to day convenience.

Bravo Prof Newt

Another mate of mine is there. He says it's awash with social media performers. Tripods and pieces to camera all over the place.

Yep.
RIP

Your first track day wasn't it? Congrats!

Still haven't watched a highlights show yet but need to watch the Stage 3 one as my parents used to live in that part of Catalunya

Didn't watch the 5 highlights show but enjoyed the Ned et al pod on YouTube this morning, ahead of today's stage,

Yeah it's in Welsh, and I thought they only had selected stages?


The article said something about iPlayer having selected stages, but I read it as S4C having the full Tour, albeit in Welsh.

Ned Boulting and David Millar have started a Youtube channel so I'll be getting my fix of their voices ...

I'd say so. The rear looks sharper than the Plus Four, with the longer tail.

It was supposed to be an hour but the four of us had 1h30 and we split it across driving/passengering in a Plus Four and a ...

>> 5m one

ahh, thanks. If we keep it I may well invest in one of those. UK uPVC casement windows are a pain though aren't they, for these. And that would stop me moving it from room to room if I had to set up another one of those flappy cover things to seal a different window. John's DIY option ...

We just bought one and have been poking it out of a window opened as little as possible, which is obviously less efficient but still does a decent job. Shame the hoses are quite short, < 2m, so it can only really cool the room it's in. Also the one we bought doesn't seem to want to turn off, as ...

yeah, that was a great watch, all the parts of it, the factory/team, the history, the track action, the further work they've been doing in the last year.

This is free to look at, might be a good place to start, in particular how best to write a prompt, which is basically saying, how best to get a good answer out of it: https://anthropic.skilljar.com/claude-101
I think lots of us are using it (AI tools in general, not necessarily Claude) to varying ...
