I've been contemplating this over the last year or so but i think its about time...after 15 years of ownership and it being my first car... I just don't have the mojo anymore to work on the Spitfire anymore, i keep it running but that's about it, its done around 500 miles in the last 10 years. But Is anyone gonna buy a classic car right now in the current climate? Whats the going rate for modified 1500s? i've seen anywhere from £3k to £15k!! (no one pays that) I assume its better if its fully running and on the road?

Haha, yeap, the SNP are a nightmare, they just keep coming up with damn good politicians, love the policies or hate them, pervy salmond and wee jimmie are both excellent narrators... And that is why i always make sure clients email problems, i like to have a trail and never delete an email so i can always come back to them and wave it in their face showing them i warned them of problems years in the past...

I'd definitely stay on the boat! last place i'd want to be at the moment is on a plane, but needs must i guess, be worth it when you get home. Just book a two week holiday in the lake district, head straight there?

I replaced my AVOs with Protech they are a very nice piece of kit and cheaper than the Konis that i really wanted. Plus point with protech is they will make them however you want if you want something a little different. The original AVOs were great, the second set i got were a disgrace after very little mileage and AVOs support was pish poor.

Not done this in a while, but if you go to settings > applications and then tap on each individual application most of them should have a button that says move to SD or something along those lines. Some applications can't be moved but some of the big memory hogs can i.e. the dreaded f-book.

Can you fit it in the dishwasher

I have an bottle of stuff called AluBright which i used in the past, it worked very well, although i think the only real way to get it looking spot on is to get it coated.

Oh totally, im engrossed to see how this is going...

The problem i have with the old leafs is because Nissan don't handle thermal management of the cells, the battery deterioration is 20% after 5 years, so in layman's terms of the 150kg of the batteries, you are lugging around 30kg of waste, not to mention the depleted range. I know a few people with the first gen leaf, and on a cold day, they get around 80 miles, because of the degradation and lack of thermal control. Im guessing steve doesn't have too much of a problem in the cold in Aus!

Love this, been looking at it lots, i just can't make the figures stack up, even with the price of leafs dropping. How much do the Chinese batteries weigh?

My Favourite one so far...

The pandemic gave the NHS a kick up the ass to join the modern world. Telemedicine and being able to video conference with a GP or Hospital consultant is long overdue! Thankfully they've done a really good job on it. Try not to get too concerned, a lot of things show up in CT scans, my brother in law still ridicules me for seeing my dangly bits in my CT scan!

If is frustrating, but on the flip side, better they found out now, than whilst doing the op. I had 7 operations cancelled, 2 whilst i was in scrubs minutes away from going, its gutting at the time but its always for the best reasons. I actually found it helped slightly, as i was less worked up the next time i went in bizarrely. Keep your chin up. Having just been through this all with the other half, its a really strange time in the hospitals, they have to be extra careful everywhere, i totally got that, just infuriating.

Is it for twisting wire together? put two thick wires in the holes and use a spanner to twist?

I learnt recently about this stuff you put on walls before plastering, its basically PVA with sand in it, revolutionised my plastering, not only better adhesion but your able to work the plaster harder in my view. Anyways, i was painting my back steps a few weeks back, thinking they would be too slippy in the wet, so i painted this stuff on first a) to firm up the loose paint and dust b) to provide a grippy surface. Im basically using it as a test for a garage floor, although i would need to patch the dunts and holes if i went the concrete and paint way. Benefit of paint would be i can do it bit at a time i guess, do the front half, move everything back, wait for a week and rotate. And JD, we had mega expensive windows fitted in our house, so i got a decorator in to paint the surrounds properly, 1 coat of primer, 4 coats of undercoat and 1 topcoat, sums it up really, prep prep prep.
