No issue at all. Just pick a decent brand if possible (i.e. not Magnatec) and you'll be fine.

Well thanks for your input.

Politics are fine, I've had some great debates with friends where we're on totally different sides because at least that can be argued in fact. Religion though... nope, all sky fairies and nonsense.

Best boxer? Tyson in his prime, I think. Favourite? Foreman. A gent as well as an excellent fighter.

Pretty much, yeah. That's the trouble with it: by the time you realise you have a problem, you're usually too incapacitated to do anything about it.

He means there's been no thread on the London attack, and that he won't hate all Muslims because of a few nutters.

Is a gameboy capable of two way communication? No, so it fails that test. Same as an MP3 player. Same as a Walkman, or an 8-track, or any other piece of kit not used in the last 20 years.

They do give you points and a fine. MP3? If mounted, yes. Gameboy? Do you genuinely need someone to explain why a court would accept a frickin' Gameboy as an acceptable thing to be using whilst driving?! The type of mount would be down to you to argue with the court.

It's not rocket science, the law is very clear. You cannot use a two-way device capable of receiving and transmitting data UNLESS it is in a mount. Laying on the pax seat doesn't count, flapping in a cup holder doesn't count, it has to be mounted. Once it is, you can no longer be charged under this law. Instead they'll charge you under not being in proper control of a vehicle, which is a law that's been in place for years. Doesn't matter then if it's in a mount or if it's a factory dash install or you're reaching for a KitKat.

Following that, the worst night I've had so far. Freezing cold under a sheet, then roasting hot under a duvet, drenched in sweat since midnight so massively uncomfortable (so clammy my fingers are wrinkled this morning!), loads of wind but I can't trust a fart, and just a fair amount of stomach pain. Starting to wonder if it's morphine withdrawal? Will have to search that. I just want to go home now. Glad someone enjoyed the horror show of last night though

Check the S-class too, think that might be the same?

R8. Every new Audi from this point on, most likely.

If I had to guess, I'd say closer to the size of a pint pot. Horrendous.

Okay, so let's do this. Analysis first, then the winning info. Click at your own risk, but there's no pics. Time of birth was approx 2115 this evening. So who won? I've genuinely not checked! I'm absolutely exhausted though.

I don't think people realise how dangerous carbon monoxide is. At 35ppm, you'll get dizzy. At 100ppm, you'll have a banging headache. At 1600ppm, you'll be dead in 2 hours. At 12800ppm, you'll be dead in 3 mins. What's that in percentages? 1.28% for the last one. Absolutely nothing at all. It's absolutely lethal stuff.

I have. Although it feels like it done me. How much description are people comfortable with?

On the roads, you can drive a 200bhp car as quick as a 400bhp car. I proved with when I borrowed the old R56 Mini and went out for a drive with a 400bhp 350Z. Nothing in it. Imho, on regular roads unless you are prepared to seriously risk your licence by going over triple digits on NSL roads, then there's not a lot of point going past 200bhp/ton. That's a real sweet spot. If you're never going to regularly track your Zed, I'm not sure an FI conversion is worth it. If you track it then yes, on the power tracks that extra grunt is lovely

God.

My.

Oh.

Knew I'd forgotten something...

One thing an ICE car gives you is the ability to drive anywhere, anytime. If I wanted to drive from here to China tomorrow I could in an ICE. No chance in an EV.

I had more food for tea, haddock and veg with a sauce. A sauce! There are now rumblings. Genuine, bubbly rumblings. I don't want to get too excited as I've been here before, but...

Guru is what?

Jo had to leave early as apparently I've started self-fumigating the room
