It’s been absolutely glorious in Glasgow-ish today. Clear and crisp. 16 DegC.

Poor Things Stupendous. 8-) Dafoe - chapeau sir. Ruffalo - annoyed me in the first few minutes with a rather questionable accent, but totally redeemed himself. Ms Stone. Wow :shock: , Bravo. Absolutely deserving of all accolades. :geek: Loved the way it was shot : flavours of Edward Scissorhands, T...

A Vanquish Zagati rumbled past whilst I was walking one of my dogs yesterday. I understand they are rare. Second Aston I have seen in a week that looked really good.

Picture from a library.

I know nothing about these, or that 1.2 engine. What do we reckon?

Unfortunately, +1

Concorde or the SR71 are always a good bet, but also Typhoon, Harrier, Tornado and even Spitfire, Hurricane etc.

Brilliant series looking at the life of a famous person through 10 pictures,

Will take a look.

Sounds like a dream for @kiwidave

@mik - where have you bought yours? Sorry. - your @ didn’t work properly. I was looking at a budget half-height one from Amazon, but the reviews weren’t glowing. I really fancied a Wavian, but it seemed a bit extravagant, so I plumped for an Invopac one off of the bay. It’s a scale down rather than...

Language NSFW (depending where you work of course)

Ew - that's not ideal Chris.

GWS(yc).

Jeez.

Hard to tell but I think that say LandSail on the sidewall?

@V8Granite I've wanted a proper Jerry can for ages as I agree they are an awesome design. But I've never had a need for one.... 20l is really too much for mower+chainsaw+leaf hoover+strimmer. I'd forgotten you could get short 10l versions though - just ordered one.

This may be news to me only, but the Gliptone products are now sold via Staingard. I see the GT11 & GT12 cleaner & conditioner that I’ve used in the past, so hopefully the same formulations rather than just the purchase of the brand.

Ferrari 250 GT and a DB5?

https://twitter.com/mikermedici/status/1772857816052805821?s=46&t=beBpWz-KHdXBPRz7S-WsdA $200m seems cheap for that, feels like it’ll cost over a billion here. I guess if you can afford that place, you can afford to have your private medical/fire response team on-hand for when you want to use i...

It is pretty good. I finished E5 last night (travellers). It is erring a little towards the silly side, but still entertaining.

You need to speak to @scotta or @Nefarious . Those who race on a budget do a lot of fuel storing and pouring. And if they are based in Scotland, spillage is - of course - minimal.

You'll need a decent funnel.

No. But it does mean that the first time you will have to pay VED is 01-Mar- 2026 , which just delays the start of this cycle for you to as late a point as possible. Not 2025? No - because the new VED rates are applicable as of 01-Apr-2025. (See the RAC link in my original post). Doing what is sugg...

I can't say I've ever tried it, but can you really re-tax your car when the existing tax hasn't run out ? I'd always rather assumed it needs to be SORNed or already expired or else "computer says no" because it doesn't need taxing. Yes - I followed the above process this morning. Mrs mik'...
