That’s a blast from the past, anyone still in contact with him?

Yeah, he's still on Facebook, and prone to being annoyed by some of us

I think Andy is more of a Megane 225 slut rather than a Clio kid, but yes, he had a 5 GT Turbo that Munkey nearly grenaded (massive exaggeration) at one point.

The interior is best described as 'a bit ratty' - the area around the keyhole has more chunks missing than the remains of my psyche. Lots of lovely stonechips outside. They went to excruciating detail on the carpet strips, but didn't clean the finger grease off the steering wheel buttons. (on closer...

“The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a...

Hitting the Easter choccy a bit too hard?

Plain/plane.

Someone not had enough coffee today?

People don't just buy the cheapest t-shirts available and just replace them when they get fucked?

Blimey.

The number of countries in the world which have an unsanctioned uranium enrichment program and a fleet of Tomcats is ...1. The 5th gen fighters was just Hollywood dusting but maybe Iran will get some from Russia in exchange for those drones they're giving them? Jesus fucking christ, it's a Top Gun ...

Took me a minute to get my head around all that, but yeah, that makes sense.

I've passed it on to my work Slack, as some of them have leccy cars.

I mean, they radio'd in a mayday saying they'd lost control of the vessel - you can have a dozen pilots, if you can't control it and you're at the whim of the currents, you're basically fucked regardless.

Dave!

Could have been finished by now if they'd just wanged a stack gauge cluster in it.

I'm a patron for someone who does daily content, and we have to tell him "no, don't pause your payments because you were in hospital for two weeks this month, that's not how this works, you're allowed to be ill". So, like, literally the opposite problem :lol: Throughout that he still manag...

The Graphtreon data (which just comes straight from the Patreon API) suggests plenty of people agreed. https://graphtreon.com/creator/badobsessionmotorsport They've lost nearly half their patrons since their peak in 2021 (4900, to 2900 and falling) - I think there are some categories of Patron who a...

Open data suggest it was dead in the water for just a few minutes, and in that time, drifted into the bridge. What caused this incident is still unclear, but BBC Verify has been looking at video of the collision and the Dali's travel history on ship tracking platform MarineTraffic. The container shi...

I get the impression he might be - clinically - not right in the head.

How far is it to his local MOT station?

.....bastard!

TFSI (Turbo Fuel Stratified Injection)

Er, I think you'll find that's "Totally For Shopping, Innit", Top Gear.

The point of asking how many miles between rebuilds is that they're race applications, not road engines, and so are representative only of race engines, with almost no relation to actual production vehicles in any noticeable way. After all, we had >1000bhp, 50kg 1.5 litre engines in F1 in the 80s. W...

Hey, how many miles between rebuilds on either the Nissan or Lucid lumps?

They should just kill it off. Very true. But then they'll slap a "GT3" badge on it and everyone will instantly forget all those "real 911" objections and wank themselves stupid calling it the best car EVVVAAARRRRRRRRRR . I dunno why you're quoting yourself :lol: Anyway, EV 911 w...
