Re: Clocks changing

I hadn't noticed that! It also logs cumulative time played and I was quite embarrassed to see I'd already clocked up 17 hours :? Oh, OT for this thread but anyone know how you invert the look up/down on the joystick in call of duty. Apparently old people like me press up to look down and down to lo...

Re: Clocks changing

My Merc is automatic - not sure how. Possibly it's 'online' all the time, as it does have that assistance dialer built in and the remote app that I can use to query the car. Yeti is a couple of buttons. I think most cars from the last decade or more change automatically based on the time signal tra...

Re: For the FTAO of JL

Yes the auctions look like the way to go don't they. There are a number of four digit plates that go for significantly less than the base price of £5k that deals seem to charge. I also agree that some 5 digit dateless plates are as good as a four digit. 17 RSR is in the next auction which would look...

:?: PSE 6 is for sale which would work on my car - PSE being Porsche Sports Exhaust on a 6 cylinder car. £8,995 though :? to me, that's about the dumbest reasoning ever. I know they are not your thing but the whole concept of private number plates is either the aesthetic of having fewer numbers or ...

Wow - I didn't realise that they had gone up so much in the last 15 years but I guess that's in line with everything!

Re: For the FTAO of JL

Maybe... number + XXX are all £5k+ so I would want it to have some meaning if I were to get one - even if tenuous.

Seems like XX GG or GG XX would be £25k. Unfortunately I think having the same initial twice probably makes it more expensive.

Chris Harris has 4 SXW on his yellow Touring. Any one have any guesses what that is supposed to represent?

@GG. ? https://dvlaauction.co.uk/auction/B262/A911GTS Ooh - I don't typically like those kinds of number plate but that one is very on point. £5k already though...

Oh no that's not good. Are you getting IV antibiotics. Can be hard to shift as Lyme Borrelia bacteria can go into hibernation (apparently).

Re: Your fleet running reports

What's the mileage limit on each SJ? :D :D Interesting thing though, putting the Porsche on with Admiral, their default mileage of 10k was actually cheaper than if I put it down to 2k. <shrug> This is an interesting comment. I'd never fiddled around with increasing the estimated mileage. I think bo...

Re: No F1 thread?

Good to see someone else winning today, am I the only one who felt like all media outlets (from Sky where I watched the race, to Gunther in the interviews, to the BBC race report) tried to really play down the reality that Max's car was fucked from the start and that was the only reason Carlos won ...

Re: EV Thread

I'd go so far as to say if you put me in any car blindfolded with earplugs in I'd be able to guess 9 times out of 10 which was an EV purely by its ride quality. Obviously ICE cars can have bad suspension design too but the nauseating lateral shimmy feeling is very much a BEV thing IME. Its made all ...

Re: EV Thread

Maybe best to comment in this thread rather than start a separate one, but from the experience I have had of EVs as a passenger, the biggest issue with them isn't charging infrastructure, battery longevity, etc. its that the ride in them is absolutely appalling. At least, for a good number of them a...

Full Fibre

Anyone upgraded to this & have any experiences to share? I'm out of contract now for Virgin and the price has shot up from originally £30pcm in mid 2022 to £57pcm (reversion to normal rolling monthly price and loss of £6pcm monthly discount). This is for 250mbps speeds, though speedtest.net is t...

Re: Harry’s Garage

- I wouldn't believe anyone who claims they can drift a Countach or apply a well-timed dab of oppo. (I've seen a couple of Youtube videos of people trying to do just that, and they aren't very convincing). I certainly would never have tried it myself. Towards the end of Mel Nichols' 1978 launch sto...

Re: Your fleet running reports

Perfectly period late 90s accessory to match the year correct alpine head unit I already use. Alpine gives strong nostalgia for me. We had a multichanger head unit in our 928 at some point in the early to mid 90s playing the just released Meat Loaf Back into Hell. :D It was a very cool thing, thoug...

So I was warned (via t'internet) to watch out for any electrical gremlins appearing after the security update had been done.
