« on: Today at 13:44:09 »I should also add, make sure the wheels where the pickups are, are super clean and shiny, also consider adding a bit of weight over the pickup wheel sets to improve contact (a bit of roofing lead, freely available if you look around, works well)Local church roof?

Every EV should have the big Manchetts 'dunking tank',that i saw last week, following behind, just like the early days of motoring with the red flag man in front.

« on: 30 September 2025, 18:54:42 »Had to at the workshop this morning to take delivery of 3 sheets of steel, of course while I was waiting my pallet delivery turned up at home. I did ask him to drop it outside my garage but there was a car parked in the entrance so no chance of backing a lorry in. Now I have to wait another day for delivery, thing is there is no delivery time on tracking.Since when have sellers or deliverers given a shit about about the convenience of the customer?

« on: 29 September 2025, 20:53:32 »No that's Naarfolk. We're just turnips.Suffolk ? Never lived there in my life.Thats Suffolk. Webbed feet and so on.
Im a couple of miles inside Essex.
Its not often my Omega sees a major A road these days, so I get great pleasure from driving it on them when I do get the chance.

« on: 29 September 2025, 19:40:41 »We've got 3 lanes on the A14 going around Newmarket. I think some of it is in Suffolk. Will that do?Thats like a proper scary motorway to you Suffolk boys. I don't think you actually have a motorway in Suffolk?Havent done anything to it, but staying at Walton on the Naze at the moment and been driving it 40 miles each way to work the last couple of days.
Its still a superb motorway mile muncher even at 23 years old and 202000 miles.
You must have a long commute if you're hitting a motorway from Walton on the Naze.
Fair comment Kevin.
By Motorway, I actually meant A120 / A12 to Hatfield Peverel.

Driving home from Newmarket this afternoon and overtook a Manchetts recovery truck with what looked like a huge skip on the back. Seems it was a EV Cool Tub for dumping them in there to transport them safely and contain any thermal runaway whilst in transit. Googled it and some wag reckons that all EV's should end up in there.

« on: 25 September 2025, 18:23:28 »Was put on Simvastatin at first and was olk It was then deemed unsafe so was changed over to Atorvastatin and they really screwed me up. Now managing to keep the cholesterol in check, esp the "bad" LDL stuff, with a healthy diet. Managing to walk around 6 miles when i go for a walk, which is about 3 or 4 times a week.I don't know what the measurement is for cholesterol these days. Used to be under 7, then 5. Mines 3.5, and I eat whatever I like
I walk twice a day every day with the dog. I also have trouble sitting still, so I'm up and down the stairs all day. But, of course, I'm only a slip of a lad compared to you

I think that will be his poll tax. It will finish him.

« on: 24 September 2025, 20:46:07 »Until just under a year ago I had never been on regular Meds in my life.Finasteride? They seem to be working for me. Try and change ya diet and so avoid the statins. The buggers wiped me out.
Then I got put on two blood pressure tablets a day.
Then a third BP tablet was added.
A couple of weeks ago I was put on tablets to shrink the Prostate.
Today the GP called to say he wants me to go on Statins.
Five fickin tablets a day !
Im starting to wonder if its all really necessary.
