Re: Smartwatches

I do the same, I just chuck my Apple Watch on the charging stand at night. The Ultra version has a much better battery life and easily do a couple of days, but like the normal one, you can easily hammer the battery depending on how you use it. I switched to a Garmin for my running - its incredible t...

Re: Your fleet running reports

This has just landed in my BMW app. With figures like those I can only imagine there's a big prize of some sort on its way to me. http://nullcopy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/IMG_4242.jpeg http://nullcopy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/IMG_4243.jpeg http://nullcopy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/I...

Re: Alfa Milano Jr.

It just looks another utterly generic jacked-up mini suv (or whatever we're calling them these days) that every manufacturer is making.

And those wheels?!

Re: Test drive report

Turbo cars are notorious for needing new turbos aren't they. Trying to remember whether that was 993 or 996 but probably both - issuing being that they're low to the ground and get immersed in water and other shit which weld the wastegates shut IIRC. Just before I bought the M2 I came close to buyi...

Re: Decent Recent TV

Re: Teh Spotted Thread

No HUD option on a Tesla.. elec Mini has a hud and shares platform (or something) with the Ora funky cat, so not really surprising the Chinese style interior. I’m interested to see how AR overtakes HUD with BMW (and Merc?) offering it on their newest cars Yes, am interested to see what the next-gen...

Re: Mountain Biking general thread

Just get yourself an e-bike, sorted!

I've been running in the borders much more this year and have been surprised by just how many e-mtbs I've seen on the more "casual" trails and areas. I wonder what percentage of all sold are now e-bikes.

Re: Teh Spotted Thread

I'm so used to having the HUD on the touring that even in cars with a traditional dash, it seems weird to have to move my head a few mm to check the speedo.

Do Teslas not have a HUD? That makes me today number of years old etc when I learned that. I just assumed they did given the layout.

Re: Teh Spotted Thread

What have Mini done? That circular screen makes me think of Gamesmaster and Patrick Moore for some reason. Like it will just be filled with an image of his head and he'll read out what speed you're doing and directions. I've never really understood any cars which don't at least have the speedo and r...

Re: Mountain Biking general thread

I was planning to switch to flats this year as I've always ridden clipped-in with Crank Bros pedals of some sort. Which are great until they're not - you're lying upside down in the grass with a bike attached to you like a turtle stuck on its back. I'll try to get somewhere I can try shoes on althou...

Re: State of the Roads

Yes, I always thought you couldn’t claim unless the pothole was known about, they can’t reasonably be expected to inspect every single road on a daily basis. But once reported should be repaired in a reasonable time. Www.fixmystreet.com Put a point on the map and report the problem. They automatica...

Re: State of the Roads

I'm considering reporting all of the pot holes and damaged speed bumps on my normal daily routes as I'm just waiting to damage a wheel and/or tyre at some point and to have any hope of getting some money back from the council they need to have been told about them (I think). Although I still suspect...

Was behind a Honda HR-V for a while today and as far as tiny, indistinguishable indicators go, I think they're the worst yet.

I did the same recently mainly for Spiderman but found myself finally playing Shadow to the Colossus which is a game I somehow managed to miss when it first came out.
