Enhanced Games

We discussed this topic in relation to Lance Armstrong. Compete using as many performance enhancing drugs as you are happy to take.

Looks like someone has gone and done it.

Re: Motorway Mile Munchers

I had a passenger ride in a 3.0TD one of these with a taxi company last year and it was such a great place to be. Wonderful ride, really smooth gearbox and the dash at night was lovely. I don’t know when they were made till though. There is a burgundy one with cream leather I see regularly and it’s...

Question for Nurburgring experts

https://jacos-paddock.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/NurburgringGP.png When they run races using the full track - combining the new Nurburgring GP circuit & old Nordschleife - why do they bypass the Mercedes Arena and take the short cut between points 1 and 5 above? Combined circuit is obviousl...

Re: Which hoover?

Nice review Mik. What made you decide to pick this one out of the other brands out of interest? https://www.independent.co.uk/extras/indybest/house-garden/vacuum-cleaners/best-robot-vacuum-cleaners-b2349451.html We'd kinda narrowed it down to the Roomba J7+ or this one. The former seems to have str...

Re: The ebay thread

So you are actually banned? Temp or perm?

(I used the HSV section of PH when I had the VXR8, but never used much outside of there and haven’t been active on there for years).

Some decent machines in there :o
I nearly turned that off when they spoke about the 250 being put back into drums. I know fook hall about this specific model, but it smacks of reversing a genuine driving upgrade in the pursuit of originality for a garage queen. Meh. :evil:

Following the impressively middle-aged excitement expressed by a relative recently around the convenience offered by their new robot hoover, we picked up a TP-link (Tapo) RV30 Plus a week or so back. https://mybroadband.co.za/news/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/TP-Link-Headline-Image.jpeg We wanted one ...

Re: State of the Roads

Don’t know if it works in scotlandshire though. Good link Harry - I just checked and there are a few issues documented around my locale, and clicking on them reveals a comment that the correct council entity was noted 2mins later - so it does appear to work for us Jocklanders too. I've been using t...

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 suspec...

Re: It’s time for another forum cycle/vehicle disagreement

Given the massive rise in segregated cycle lanes that feature these kinds of priorities on side roads, there needs to be a lot more education for drivers about how to deal with these junctions and rights of ways, especially in cities. It's this for me. In both of those Greg_N twitter vids the junct...
