Re: Full Fibre
Had by fibre to the property for years, don’t think I’ve ever known it to slow down or drop out. Only went for it because adsl was dog turd, and would usually sit around 5mb. We ‘only’ get 150mb, but it’s always more than enough for anything we use so seems pointless paying for more for the couple o...

Re: Your fleet running reports
One of my favourite thing about cars is ones which are very much of their time. I think your compact is absolutely nailing it. Like Imolas on a 2wd Saphire Cosworth or a Peco BB4 on a Saxo, it just works. Dave! Cheers, it’s supposed to be just a bit of cheap fun, it’s a fine line between enough and...

Re: Domestic Plumbing Total Lack of Pressure
My grandads old house used to gradually lose pressure, upstairs presumably an air lock. By trial and error I found putting a thumb firmly over the outlet of the sink mixer tap and turning both hot and cold on full would cause it to shift and be fine for a long while. Pretty sure it was the cold that...

Re: Your fleet running reports
Couple of minor compact updates. Before Christmas I managed to find a very rare compact armrest / centre console setup. I’d been looking for a couple of years, even considered buying a car with one in just to take it out and sell the car on 😂 The leather cover was trashed, so I pulled it to bits and...

Re: Your fleet running reports
I've always jump started directly battery-to-battery, because that's the equivalent to having a charged battery ? I’ve always done this too. The argument I have seen a few times is this pretty much what is stated below During jump-starting, we connect the boosting battery to ground rather than to t...

Re: Your fleet running reports
Same. Everything I’ve read forever tells you not to go battery to battery, but I always have where possible because it’s usually nice and clean and a grippy shape. And I can’t see what difference it would make to anything having it earthed to another lump of metal connected directly to the battery. ...

Re: Your fleet running reports
Got a call earlier asking if I could pop past the sister in laws after work as her car wouldn’t start. They ( her, my mrs and nephew ) had jump leads but couldn’t work out where to connect them as the battery is in the boot. Popped bonnet, found a red plastic cap with a + on it, connected jump leads...

Just wondered whether it could possibly be an actual failure somewhere or just some attention seeking weirdo / user error like a lot of these things turn out to be.

Re: No F1 thread?
Lando was lucky with the start. It was a very obvious jump which left him out of position. He did come to a complete stop, and made a poor actual start, and no other drivers reacted to his jump. It seems the stewards actually used some common sense there despite it being an east penalty to prove.

Re: Euromillions immediate purchase
I’d buy an f40 and delta integrale immediately, would have to find storage for the f40 but would happily start using the lancia straight away. Would be perfectly happy with a decently sized secluded property in Norfolk/Suffolk with a large barn / workshop. I’d keep several of the cars I already have...

New old fiat 500 (no, not the rwd version)
Have fiat just admitted in the most obvious way possible that their new 500 looks worse than the model it replaced?
Is the ‘new’ fiat 500 already old enough that a current version styled to look like it is retro?
