I used to be with "it"

But apparently they've changed what "it" is. Reading social media these days and it's just gibberish half the time. "Based" - Based on what? "Unalived" - don't get it, longer and more difficult to say than "dead" "Sent me" - where? "Rest in Powe...

I think the take away from all of this is just to avoid London altogether.

You don't get these issues in a small village in the north of Scotland.

Re: Your fleet running reports

You know they do proper Smart cabriolets, right? No need to smash the roof to make one ;)

But yeah, seems to be a known but rare problem. Same thing happens with the big glass boot on the VW up - randomly likes to go pop. Pressure and temperature variations, I think?

Spaceman, so shit I gave up after 30 minutes and I'm a bit of a Sandler fanboy. Ferrari, 30 mins in and not great so far. The crash special effects are on par with the PS2 Burnout games :lol: Edit - also shit, given up and on YouTube now. I had to do it in 3 sittings. I love space films....but this...

Re: Lotus Emira

As is typical for Lotus, seems lots of the LE suffered from usual QA gremilins, typically software or electrical but nothing major. Suspect most should have been resolved by now.

Prices have flattened off too (as has the car market as a whole, though).

Re: Home CCTV

Thanks - Hikvision have a massive array of cameras with overlapping functions so trying to pick one out if a nightmare. AcuSense? Colourvu? I'll have a look at the ones you've purchased.

i4's have landed. Not sure I'd want to go near some of the early ones, given the stories that have been circiling about cooling issues.

Can't believe no ones mentioned getting rid of road tax and dropping it on fuel.

Re: Mesh wifi

Is cabling an option at all? Running some Cat5/6 through, especially now while I suspect you're renovating/decorating anyway pays off, especially as you can use it for so many things now (IoT, CCTV, video signals, etc)

Re: Mesh wifi

I mean, lets not get carried away though - WiFi 5 is more than enough for home use, WiFi 6, 6E, 7 and so on are just massive overkill unless you're planning to move multiple GB of data over the house. It'll be fine to view a 4K movie or browse a bit of FB ;) Obviously if you're buying new there's no...

Re: Mesh wifi

I’ll investigate that. I don’t want it to require an IT specialist to make it work though 😄 The range isn't really better with newer kit, just throughput...although you'll get better speeds along that same distance. It's more about the construction/antennas for range. Difficulty with WiFi is a lot ...

Indeed, that's a great car. Back in my day we had to have a Panda 750cc with a choke and 34bhp and be happy about it! ;)
