OV9

Am in discussion with Octopus and another installer myself, looking at PV and battery solution, their surveys seem confident my PV would be enough to fill the battery between May/Sept (all averages and guesstimates etc). Looking like I'll be able to fit a 4kw+ array too, and I'm looking at 9/10kwh ...

Barry, if the PV would be enough to fill the battery between May-Sept, what happens Oct-Apr? Does the battery top up from the grid? The PV will still contribute to the battery, but unlikely to fill it is all. I can decide whether to top up from grid or just use grid power on the other months, depen...

Most PV installs have an app to monitor yeah, did they get shown how to use that?

Been eyeing up a nice little Wera kit myself, lovely stuff.

I'm too critical of NCG mechanical sympathy to let just any one drive my cars, so it's emergencies only for me.

YK let me drive his GT3 on my 3rd party a couple of times, then added me as named driver (like the superstar he was).

WTF? https://twitter.com/simonharris_mbd/status/1732046824918450448 Looks a lovely starter. What’s for the main? I have issues with this. Surely you will end up with bean run away due to being at a lower level than other foods. During scoop it will end to under and cause unnecessary stress during c...

I've gone off the whole gorging myself thing tbh. The amount of waste at this time of year must be incredible. Waste? Noo, the turkey goes into boxing day buffet lunch, then soup. Veg and stuff is fried up for breakfast.. When my entire close family is in one place there's not much getting left ove...

Exactly. The aim is to be full on food sweats so you can relax and watch a crap film, until someone starts making supper and you all pile on again.

Starter is a legal requirement surely.

This should last most of the day though, to be clear..

Haven’t they already done McLaren?

Also, a Creator version, which is why I had McL in mind

There's looking likely to be another Technic F1 coming at least, McLaren. I'm bored with the Speed Champion stuff tbh. Haven’t they already done McLaren? Indeed, silly me was too busy thinking of that model when I was typing.. new one is a Merc https://youtu.be/ljr9iurvAhw?si=m5fotstqy3bERq-M

Ah man, horrible news.

Recently finished a jar of silverskin, bought another jar. I try to keep them in stock, nice on sarnies or sometimes to give a bland meal some zing.

Most modern bikes have quick shifters too, which might be what Alex heard? You kick the gears up without clutch and it cuts ignition briefly, then if you go down the box it auto-blips to help match speeds again.

Honda have DCT on a couple of their machines, have done for a few years. They've just brought out an e-clutch too, some kind of recluse type thing.

All three of my bikes currently on my fleet of MXS5s, Civic also on one today (monthly top up) and yet I still hanker after the 10a CTEK. The MXS5 is great for the bikes but it takes all day to run a full cycle on the Civic, so what I'm suggesting is you aim higher.. Amazon currently doing it on sal...

I hit diesel on my bike on early September, front washed out and I slammed my right leg down to catch it. It hurt but I stayed upright thankfully and continued to work. Sore back for a few weeks, rode to South of France and back with it, then a weekend up Kielder on the bike, then early Nov I start ...

Have you seen the new Kia SUV? EV9 or some such? Similar to that heffer but at least it might work.

It doesn't hang about for four tonne no..
