Had the case bulged at all? i.e. does it sit flat or have a wobble. Someone on here (if it was you, lol) pointed me to an extended warranty so I managed to get my battery (and keyboard) replaced for free. That was a MacBook Pro 2012 iirc. Whether you have that issue, and the same is available for yo...

I love your Bentley wheels ad

Currently looking at an all American Diner on Christmas Day this year. Normally no starter then the biggest plate of roast ever. Room for Xmas Pud but not cake. Chocs/crisps/peanut and booze are enough of a starter.

(remembering I used to read that cartoon every day, on the back page of the Daily Express iirc)

Reads like they were unlucky to be picked in a sting operation. Probably a Google search of local tuners, surely there are loads that offer such mods.
I wonder if it was the decat pipe (emissions failure) or noise levels from the exhaust, or both, that they got them on.

We've got some old mahogany chairs and tables in the garage. Tried a few local antique places years ago, they didn't offer much at all. Should probably revisit that as they are just taking up space.

I have a jump starter and it has proven itself very useful indeed, on my cars and on neighbours' cars. Great bits of kit. Would get one of those and just keep the current trickle charger.

edit: late to the party on that reply

Result, @Sundayjumper !

Back OT, got myself a Garmin health tracker/fitness/smart watch but still wanted to wear my other watches, so most days during the week I'm wearing two (Garmin always on my right wrist, the 'wrong' one). At the weekends or on hols I'll just wear the smartwatch (on my left wrist). I find the notifica...

Yeah, I've always enjoyed that subtle hint of cognac. For the first half can at least.

I get the feeling you're enjoying working on the Smart more that anything else you have or have had?

With Vettel gone we really needed someone to speak the truth (aside from Lewis). Fortunately it seems that Max has enough success now that he’s safe to say anything he wants, which in this case is a good thing: F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix: Red Bull's Max Verstappen says weekend is '99% show, 1% sportin...

I’ve stuck some araldite on there and put it in the oven’s warming drawer to cure :D IMG_2729.jpeg New (pattern) pads are < £50 for a full two axle set so I’ll get some ordered. The araldite will tide me over for moving it around. I rarely actually use the trailer. Follow by a photo the next day of...

And that's just reminded me I test drove a Kia Niro EV and an Ora Funky Cat at the Farnborough Motor Show earlier this year. The Kia was a much nicer place to be. The Funky Cat had indicators that didn't cancel properly. I recall a Jonny Smith video where he mentioned the same.

Austin 7?
Or another S2000
Or another Elise

Through a random conversation I have now heard Sleaford Mods for the first time (punk, shouty, sweary commentary with a modern-day Bez pressing go on his laptop dance track then variously dancing around or just supping a beer - genius! How did I not know they existed?). https://youtu.be/dEYYI1ii0AU?...

I used to have room for two cars in the garage. Now I have kids, and a trailer, and a CostCo buy stuff in bulk habit.

The Panda 4x4 was the first one that caught my eye scrolling down the page.

Similarly, a mate saw this in Italy (he's on a tour of sports car factories it seems)

Yep, it's awesome. He also has a GR86 now.
