I didn't have any issue with the dialogue of Dune 2 when we saw it at the local iMax. I saw Oppenheimer there too without any issues but then saw people complaining about that, so I do wonder if there's just very fine tolerances when it comes to movies like that where the soundtrack is using a massi...

We've used WBAC a few times as well, hassle free and twice we've had their offer increase after they saw the car.

That f*cked up door is something else

I can see what they're going for with the styling, but it looks like Musk did a doodle on a napkin in crayon and insisted that was the final design rather than it being a v1 sketch which gets evolved.

The whole USP of the 911 is having the engine in the wrong place. An EV could never replicate that driving experience. For that reason an EV "911" will never be a real 911. They should just kill it off. It will be interesting to see where they go with a 911 EV, a usable sports car like th...

.. and that's it sold. To a lovely local lady who has put a deposit down and will pick it up in a couple of weeks.

Wasn't that bad

:o Before Easter! Are you mad? :shock: It's pishing down here atm - I don't think that was forecast but a clear night at feels like 0° is so I expect there will be crashes later if not already. You sound like my father in law... It's not even Easter! We've not started lambing yet. Have you not hear...

Those sales figures are genuinely surprising re 911 to Boxster/Cayman ratio.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall at these car companies who over the last 5-10 years or so are having to do so much more in the way of software development, UI design and all the security considerations that come with it.

I've just put the summer wheels back on the dog wagon, so expect an impending snowpocalypse.

I kind of appreciate the honesty about a low-ball offer as at least it's probably genuine. And some of those people at least respond to texts and come back to ask if it's sold yet because they are genuinely interested. People making up stories or just not turning up are a PITA. So yeah, in my head, ...

That’s actually a fair question on this kind of vehicle that might not do a lot of miles. I can see the reason for asking, but at this price and end of the market, it would be way down my list of questions given everything else I've provided and the inevitable bargaining. If he comes along and says...

That's not a bad idea about the viewings...

I'm now being quizzed about the manufacturing dates of the tyres.

Yeah, I'm starting to regret my move already. By next week I'll be phoning the first guy back... "pikeys eh? so, that offer of you tea-bagging me and taking the van, is that still on the table?"

Holy thread bump Batman... Put the camper van/motorhome up for sale on Autotrader a few days ago. Immediate interest which was good and I guess makes sense as we're coming into Spring. Punter one... Very interested, sets a time to come the next day. Doesn't appear. I phone him and he says he's inter...

Under the new priority system pedestrians always have right of way. The red man signal for pedestrians merely alerts them to the fact they should be more cautious. Technically under the new system traffic lights for pedestrians and pedestrian crossings are almost irrelevant as a pedestrian stepping...

I did some work for a client recently who are committed to being compliant with cyberessentials and it turned out they'd had a massive security breach 6 months previously. "How did you recover from that?" I asked as I tried to get a lay of the land.... "We just turned lots of stuff of...

Actually, that's a good point @Carlos, now he has a works van I could probably remove "commuting" from the policy coverage although I do wonder if that means NO COMMUTING WHATSOEVER or if it just means the odd time would be ok.

They're remaking The Crow. My initial reaction is of course, huge skeptiscism, but that nice young lad Bill Skarsgard doesn't tend to suffer shitty screenplays, and it has been 30 years since the first film and things have moved on wildly since the original. And it's not like the original won't sti...

Exactly. On paper, it's obvious that they're at it, but how much work would they put into proving it in that sort of claim I wonder.

I keep waiting for there to be some sort of reaction against all this sort of crap, but it appears there's no end in sight and I just need to accept I'm getting old.
