  1. 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...
  2. Jo had to leave early as apparently I've started self-fumigating the room
  3. Loads do it: R8, Gallardo, California etc. Not actually a bad idea, as it means you can change to any aftermarket exhaust without worrying about it fitting your rear bumper, or if it's going to mark on the tip, or if you don't like the aftermarket tip design etc. But no, not for me thanks.
  4. It's only a radiator, fill it with what you want.
  5. Dont! Still, they are "different" i guess! You and me both. Suicide doors I can live with, but gullwing on a van? Not sure what they were thinking.
  6. Update! ...Still no poo. But wind! Lots of wind! AND I'VE BEEN ALLOWED PROPER FOOD! I suspect a poo can't be too far away.
  7. As in you like them, or you don't?
  8. More the merrier, no such thing as too much cooling,
  9. Full EV is clearly the future, but only because we do not have unlimited oil. In 1000 years time when we've run out of the stuff, of course we'll be in EVs. The problem I have is spending that much money on something that kids are inevitably going to wreck at some point. If I was buying a car purely as something to transport kids in (because no parent is going to rag a car when they've got their own offspring in, so performance is ultimately irrelevant) then I can't see a benefit of buying this or any new premium vehicle when a used Mondeo will do the job just as well, and you won't care when the kids chuck their Weetabix over the seats You'd save an absolute fortune.
  10. Exactly how I felt about the Macan, surprising how such a relatively big and high-up car can feel just brilliant when you tip the nose in early, get on the gas and just let the clever 4wd stuff pull you round, whilst allowing for a moderate amount of slip. You can quickly see why people just have a small SUV as their only car, when the performance and handling of modern chassis is so good. Just a shame Tesla can't do anything about the slab of white plastic where the rads would normally be: Even some fake black honeycomb would improve that, especially in white. Maybe a wrap of some kind?
  11. Yes. This is a really, really bad thing. Oh so easy to say now, but I'd have paid the £45 as it would be a lot cheaper than declaring the cancelled insurance. Check that Tesco specifically didn't ask you about cancelled policies before signing up, else you could be driving with no legal policy. This might be sorted with a letter from Hastings to confirm that, given the circumstances, they do not consider the policy as cancelled. Easier said than done to achieve though I suspect.
  12. Doesn't work for me You'll need excel or similar to edit it
  13. Someone's never had the munchies

    Would you rather own a 1955 Citroen, or a 1955 Mercedes?
  15. Crap, but this is why you should always check your nuts are tight (fnar) after 100 miles like GMB says. No comfort, but a timely reminder for us all. I'd expect either a very genuine apology, or a crap one and some kind of monetary gesture.
  16. First post updated with Poo Birth link for ease as well
  17. And it'll be a proper prize, not the poo itself!
  18. Can I play? I mean, at this point your guess is as good as mine! Go on then, I'll supply the prize. Closest wins, date and time to the nearest hour.
  19. There was no poo I thought we had a potential tortoise head (like a turtle head, but slower moving and larger) but no joy. It was just a little guff. Sorry folks. Always tomorrow though! In other news, I nearly had a stand up row with a nurse! Basically she f*cked up by shutting off my morphine machine, which then understandably had a fit. Two other nurses came to have a check but couldn't figure it out, then saw the mistake. It's on a six min timer so they left and I tested it, same problem, big red error code. Bad Nurse came back in, I pointed out it was still showing a red screen to which she then got incredibly aggressive and said no it was fine and clearly it's given me the right dose. My pain said otherwise, and the fact it gave the same error message when the thing was blocked off as when it's now supposedly fixed means it can't be right. And tbh, I didn't expect to be told to carry on using a piece of medical equipment with an error code in it! I asked her to put it in writing that it was safe to use, as I'd got the right hump by this point, she then told me I didn't know what I was talking about (because obviously I don't deal with pumps and fluids and controls every day) and I should just get on with it. She actually left the room as I was still talking to her. Erm, I don't think so love. Called for the manager, spoke to he senior sister who was lovely and completely agreed that even if I was 100% wrong about the machine, you still never talk to patients that way. Turns out the whole cannula was goosed, which the other nurse should've noticed too, so that was replaced and it's all working now. Just couldn't believe it. I wouldn't accept that from the NHS, damn as hell won't accept it from private! Nice letter of complaint going in when I'm out of here.

    I suppose all it needs is hydraulics on the adjustment points, a bit like the McLaren active suspension and the Porsche PDCC, but that seems a lot of effort. Also seems totally believable for the Veyron.

    I'm sorry I don't understand my own thread guys *goes back to running tongue over raspbery-flavoured glass*
  22. Unfortunately you won't have any passengers, as that's so bloody ugly no-one will get in it
