Because getting in your car is so much higher risk than just walking around I guess we had our chance to be sensible and people blew it.

I'm not sure if it's worth selling it TBH. I paid 13k for mine on 30k miles, spent 5k or so on it with various bits - exhaust, headers, ICE, wheels, remap and BBK - all the weak points (torque dip, crap stereo, flat sound, nasty wheels) have now been addressed (without the next stage of going FI). It's probably worth about 11k as it sits, to someone who wants to avoid doing all those jobs I've sorted, maybe 13k if I wanted put it back to stock and sell the bits off. It's nicely fettled and, as you can tell from those expenses, no amount of man maths will get me the spent money back. My big plan was to use the Spa trackday that was scheduled for next week as a final decision point. If I loved it (which I have done on tuition days), then decide that the BRZ is becoming a long term track toy (in which case ~10k for coileys and supercharger too) then just running it like that until it dies and buying a second practical car (Alfa Guilia Veloce or similar) for the road. Alternatively, sell the BRZ, extend my budget a little and get an "all in one" car that can be lived with day to day but is up for it on track too - I got an itch for a Cayman 981S or maybe 996 C4 or perhaps one of the hyper hatches like a Type R or A35. Naturally this has all been scuppered by COVID ruining my Spa Day, so I'm just browsing auto trader - as usual!

Goddam sneaky commies, your average Rooskie don't take a dump without having a plan ;-)

Oooooooh that's interesting. Hope they keep it relatively low speed though, don't need yet another one of the 863 boosted 4 pot baby GTR wannabes, the fact you have to work it is the USP.

I am currently working for a large organisation with key worker status, current advice is that if we MUST go in the office, don't sit in your usual areas, dotted all over the place, we should sit together to make it easier for cleaners to clean. I can't begin to state how ridiculous this is, the solution is to give people some wipes when they go in and when they go out (I carry my own anyway) and sit as FAR AWAY from each other as is possible, not bunch up. We're our own worst enemy most of the time. I'll be sitting where I feel sufficiently distanced and I clean up before I sit down and after I finish.

Day 2 of beefing up at home with Arnold Schwarzenegger - no discernible improvements, some aching. Expecting big things on Day 3.

What's important is making sure I'm ok, my wellness, my physical health, my mental health, my image online, my image IRL, my mad stacks, my career, my overstocked freezer, my bog roll. my feelings, my opinions are as valid as your facts. If you don't have the things I do, you're stupid or a loser or lazy and you certainly don't deserve my help - my time and energy is too precious for that. In a way, we're victims of our own success. We've conquered so many obstacles, for so many of the developed countries, that we've forgotten what it took to get here; education, cooperation, empathy, relying on the person next to you and them relying on you. Everyone for themselves, until it goes wrong, then it's your fault, you didn't tell me that, your advice, your mistake. This might teach us some humility, but I doubt it.

I’m using this period to get ripped like Arnie. https://vm.tiktok.com/sysQtS/

Proper super car. Mint.

Don't know how true this is but apparently this says, Fiver for one, or 125 quid EACH if you buy more than one. Assuming there's even an element of truth in it, if your immediate response is, "Shameful profiteering bastards ripping off decent panic buyers" then you're a Daily Mail reader.

I just dropped a whole, fresh bog roll in the bog - IT'S LIKE SETTING FIRE TO £20

gorgeous z.

Weird, it’s been working of late. I got straight here. Can you clear your browser cache and try again?

People are generally reasonable, but the public are generally stupid. No doubt their excuse will be the press/media/Facebook/TikTok/not being breastfed/Daddie's online poker addiction/violent video games made me do it.

Which is precisely the advice given.

Just because there’s rubbish in the press, people don’t HAVE to do stupid things. The breakdown in personal responsibly is the heart of this (as with many other problems we see) because of excuse culture. There was people freaking out last week that there was no advice, entirely unable to function without someone giving them an instruction, when all you need to do was spend 10 minutes reading to get a very basic grip of how to behave. It’s not restricted to Corona, it’s not even down to the press or social media or Brexit or the Left or the Right. It’s something we’ve been working on for quite some time.

Talk us through the measured response then.

May as well not have any health care at all and just accept death is inevitable. No one is questioning the sensationalism but it can be sensational and a threat, they’re not mutually exclusive.

None of those things are contagious.

Big Don says, “We’re working hand in hand.” He is yet to grasp how social distancing works.
