Re: Your fleet running reports
Spent a few hours this afternoon doing a "15-minute job" (my estimate) on eldest Miklet's Civic. The front offside drop link had broken at the lower balljoint, so was just flapping around. Of course the nuts were as rusty as a mofo, and attempting to remove them just caused the balljoints ...
Re: EV Thread
It does. You can set it to a 1-pedal type mode, have it so it automatically regens approaching roundabouts etc, or have it totally manual. In all modes you can use the steering wheel paddles to introduce or remove 2 stages of regen, and in all modes the initial brake pedal application initiates rege...
Re: EV Thread
Prompted by discussion with Jobbo on coasting in the Hire Car thread. Reasons I don’t like 1-pedal driving mode. 1. It’s almost impossible to coast without accidentally allowing the car to harvest and slow you slightly. Big heavy, slippery E-Tron coasts silently and holds onto its velocity very well...

Re: Test drive report
Gear knob screws onto the shaft, but you then lock it with a grub screw to ensure it’s oriented correctly. You are describing the location of said grub screw.

Just piling it up and leaving it over winter makes pretty good fertiliser - mrs mik grew tatties & beets last year in pretty much this alone.

Re: Flightradar24 fans
I saw a commercial airliner at low level yesterday in Johnyforeignland with a fighter jet sitting about 25m off it's wing tip as it was (presumably) coming in to land.

Re: Bye Bye Sunak..
I wonder how much difference it would make. Docs today take a very conservative approach to protect their patients and themselves - I don't beleive there is really any downside to them signing someone off for stress/anxiety/whatever (?) so they tend to take a cautious decision. There isn't time duri...

Shame about the HRH536 - I assumed it would be all of the awesumes.

Possibly useful vid (grit your teeth though - this dude is vying with Shmee for the highest rating on my unbearableometer).

Re: Test drive report
Excellent news. Hope you manage to find one in your spec.
The drive felt very Evora-like to me, but the Emira is far prettier. Particularly side by side.

Re: Car Hire Lottery
Hyundai Bayon 24V in Johnnyforeignland this week. Disappointingly that V stands for volts as opposed to valves. It's absolutely fine as a hire car that I'm not seeking tactile pleasure from - the most important elements being easy to figure out cruise control (check) and quick-connecting apple carpl...

Re: Dangerous beers...
Non-alcoholic beers don't appeal to me. I'd rather have a water or a "proper" soft drink.

Merc EQA supplied by Audi... right hand stalk is dedicated to drive selection, leaving the left stalk to do indicators, front & rear wipers, and presumably manual dim/dip of the lights too. This is possibly “standard merc” but it seems a bit stoopid initially. Mrs mik called me from her commute...

Visit/Tour of M-Sport (Cumbria)
Had a truly superb visit to M-Sport (previously Malcolm Wilson Motorsport) yesterday, courtesy of the Borders Driving Club - mainly 'cos scotta wangled a place for himself and another for me.
