I’m going to their live recording on Weds night. Really looking forward to it.

Id say thats a 50/50. Driver should have looked and cyclist shouldn't have been on the wrong side of the road.

Seems like a bit of an exaggeration if im honest. That big gauge at the top looks very much like 49 degrees' not 50 :roll:

Re: Homeplugs (mostly for Beanz I suspect)

I've got TP Link powerline ethernet out to the cabin in the Garden. It works well enough to surf and stream music but it struggles a bit for teams. Best i get even on CAT 6 with them is around 30 meg (from a promised up to 500 meg) versus 550 in the house on CAT 6. I should really have a play with m...

Currently without the mini. It’s gone on loan to my niece as her ecoboost 1.0 fiesta is quite literally fucked. Engine completely toast. New (reconditioned) engine been ordered.

Find their F40 "Drag race " video. It's terrible. F40 guy is short shifting in every race just as it comes on boost.

Re: Harry’s Garage

Interesting vid. I think he mentioned a couple of week's ago that the CDE of the RR Sport made a big difference to the mpg figures compared with some of the other similar cars he'd been driving. Can't believe the monthlies are £500 or so cheaper for a Sport over a RR though. I don't mind that red/o...

Re: MX5 owners

That is quite similar to the one I test drove at my stepson's dealership though since that was the end of last summer, it was about £16k. Not a bad price. I really didn't like the colour though; that grey is insipid. Not sure what I'm going to get yet once we've moved house; the budget might be den...

Re: Tedious but traditional New Car thread

As far as I'm concerned, previous owner (Zonda) didn't map it, previous owner has no direct evidence of being mapped, so until I prove otherwise, it may well just be a particularly healthy example that's adapted the engine and gearbox to being driven hard on high octane fuel - which is something th...

Re: For the FAO of stereoists

Lots of great advice in this so far thank you. Unfortunately I can't give you any tech specs of any of it as it's either in the UK or may have possibly just left. So I guess I'll have to get it all here first and set it up and then go from there and maybe revisit advice here. I'm also not sure any ...
