Re: This time next year, President Trump moves back into the Whitehouse...


Can't it be both?

But yeah it looks well fake. Windows are all shut and IME the cabin crew make a point of opening them on the ground, no-one else reacts, there's nothing else in the overhead locker when it's opened, flight attendant is wearing flip flops...

Re: Would you have an electric car if you had the money for a new car and were in the market for one?



My parents have done >10k in their electric Mini now with just 3 pins. If you're not doing a 200 mile round trip commute every day it'll be fine.


Good to hear. Bearing in mind I only did just over 4k miles in my last car in 2.5 years, I cant see the charger cost being justified and if I did ...

Finally motivated to get it out of the van as I need to pick up some furniture for my daughter. Took it for a run up the road and I can't see that there's anything wrong with the gearbox. Rides like a bloody lump though, don't feel bad at all splitting it for parts.

Re: 2026 race van/camper/moho.... whatever..






You should have put it down for driving ;)

Was it a cheapo po-top or an expensive one ?

I'm expecting more noise anyway if i lose bulkhead than the current van. (Which isn't exactly silent)


IMO the kitted out T4 with pop top was significantly louder than my LWB HT sprinter with no ...

From the blurb..."Made from the clutch levers of Evel's last bike..."
Do Harleys have more than one?
I believe Evel used to have at least a couple of bikes at each event.... (For reliability reasons....)

Re: B&D Workmate - alternatives?

The new ones are pretty shoddily built though - I keep looking at them and they seem to be mostly plastic and where they "are" metal it's been thinned down to nigh on a foil.

Keep an eye on ebay for an original.

Dreams, the bed company.

We were up at Decathlon in Oxford yesterday so next door was Dreams. Popped in to get a pillow, mine is old and a little flatter than when it was new. It was expensive at about £75 at the time but i like it...

Ended up with a Seally for £55... Fair shout, not bad ...

Re: Motorbike "club" dilemma question?






What I have learned from a lot of "bikers" is that a lot of people are users.


It's not just bikers, lots of groups are like that. Usually there's a group of old mates who see fresh blood arriving and start pondering what jobs they can dump on you while you're still keen. :lol:
