Yeah SSDs have become a "this price is valid for 30 seconds item..." Also rather hoping nothing happens to my T7 4TB... They were £250 for a long time, now they're over £700
Glad I had the dashcam yesterday, but I'm still head scratching today, I think more research is required @joehallenbeck.bsky.social can a Volvo fly if you bolt the wings on?...
Ours isn’t impressed with not being allowed out today but couldn’t guarantee he’d be back before the later day heat. He’s now mainly ignoring the cooling mat
And her husband is called Richard… Some of the others have come through too, though nowhere near as funny
The anodised MacBooks are great and all that, but if you put stickers on them sometimes the sticker fades areas of the anodisation Fitting a replacement screen and removing the plethora of stickers the previous owner stuck on, of all the ones to fade the anodisation….
I run exactly the same guage in the E88, no not even a close match on display wise, but the Ultraguage is £100 and some nifty BMW look vent gauges are nearer £500, so I’ll live with it Update speeds prompt in BM so speed might be Suzuki. I run a single page of temp/speed and changed a few alarms
Erm..... #NotAI Think at the time (2007) I titled this one "International 3 point turn competition doesn't quite go to plan"
I mean even Porsche doesn't give you a huge option more. Eleven shades of grey, two almost identical reds, two fairly similar blues, a yellow, but at least that Oak Green is bloody glorious. Only have you even seen one specced it in?!
Yeah Graham (Eason (Great Escape Cars)) was good enough to lend us the keys to this for an hour or so back in 2019. It was lovely. Could have tootled about in it forever.
Post something from your camera roll that comes up when you search yellow car. And following up from earlier discussions of some quarters being dismissive of older cameras. Shot on the Canon D30 (yes D first) with its whopping 3mp, 3 focus points & 11 shot buffer (in jpeg)
Mind instantly goes "Mel Collins on the saxophone" to @tbyrd423.bsky.social suggestion. But I'll chuck this in the mix for the Drop a great live album
I've got a good excuse. This is me with my first car. For clarification, I'm the one with my head out the sunroof, so it's about 8 years before I could actually drive...
Yeah I’ve not done 200 miles in a single hit, but very much an advocate for roof down winter driving jonbradbury.com/2013/03/cabr...
Yeah thanks to a days NB MX5 rental, I’m a serial offender here Audi 80 vert v6 09-11 BMW e36 323i (may 6th FB just told me) 2011-2019 BMW e88 125i 2019-current
I got round this by owning both. If you just want to cruise about steadily the Audi is superior. I think it looks better, it's the more solidly built, great to sit in, just feels "so". But in v6 form it was nose heavy. The BMW was nowhere near as well built, but far far superior to 'drive'
Post your warning sign So, a customer phoned recently, how’s things? Oh ok but my house fell into the sea. Oh **** Further along, do you do websites? No not really. I just need a static site Oh I can do that, here I’ll show you one I’ve got Oh **** sorry just remembered the background image…
Post a random cool car photo you took on another year, with no explanation. Filling up last year
Yeah working not driving it today, but the sentiment stands. Our love for them stems from drives, adventures, friends, antics (legal or otherwise), bumps, not wrapped in a cloth and maybe driven a few miles at 2/10ths to a pub
Yeah pretty much I'd say we just need to stop using QR codes on any public printed material, because too much scope for people placing rogue stickers over the top. Don't issue them, don't scan them.
Isn't this just standard affair? It's quite usual to shift something with the BM 'vert and you get to either end and someone comments how the hell did all that get in there?? Bar big furniture we moved house with the Audi 80 vert & E36 vert
I get it every time "buy a Toyota lad", we have to go back to 2017 to even find an advisory on the mot history (though this in part why we (well I did) chose this one). He loves his Verso-S (and the Corolla Verso before that...) Of course I have different ideas of a Toyota... #mmmmV8
I always liked the hazard placement in the E36, could brake/gear down & flick the hazards on with your thumb for those 'moments' on the motorway. E88 puts it top & centre on the dash, which is clearer to see, but much further away from where your hands are...
Another garden project done. Our old fence was, well knackered to be fair, and this winter finally did for it. New wood ordered, new posts in (never doing that again), and new wood up. Just a shame in the main we can’t actually see it, this is neighbours side
Ah balls, I forgot the odo will tick over 95,000 today with a few miles, and now its in the hands of the mechanic, so no photo for that one. So now it's international crash the MoT history website & see how close to 95,000 its tested on... Hang on, WTF, a recall? Also it's tested already & YAY!!!
Anyway good to finally get out for a few hours. Didn't bag the 24-105F4L because 'weight', DID bag the 800F11 besides weight, and the 35F1.8, nothing in-between. Made for some interesting choice of compositions. These are both shot from exactly the same spot...
