I have Reef ones, cos they've got a bit of arch support, and a nice comfy lining on the strap.

Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
Oofos have the arch support thing too. They're a bit odd to wear at first 'cos they have quite a thick sole. Main thing is they're pretty grippy on slippy wet pool sides.Rockburner wrote: ↑Tue Oct 03, 2023 7:59 amI have Reef ones, cos they've got a bit of arch support, and a nice comfy lining on the strap.
We can do socks and T-shirts next.

Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
I had a pair of Oofos.
I liked them.
The dog liked them even more.
I then bought a pair of Birkenstocks. Mrs. Gremlin said if I ever wore them out she would disown me.

Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
One of these:
to house one of these (the workbench not the bloke):
to store my Ninja Woodfire, pizza oven and gas Weber grill and set it up as an outdoor kitchen, should be plenty of space for the gas bottle(s) and other garden clutter, but the key consideration is being able to cook within it / close by.

Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
Grown up toy if it's anything like the RC Toyota that popped up on Instagram yesterday. Dunno how many ££s it was but the mechanisms underneath (diffs, props etc etc) looked pretty impressive.

Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
My Tamiya Hornet had all that in the 80's, I keep meaning to buy another kit and build it just for nostalgia, but I think I'd put it away ten minutes after building it and then never get it out again.Count Steer wrote: ↑Tue Oct 10, 2023 10:42 amGrown up toy if it's anything like the RC Toyota that popped up on Instagram yesterday.

Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
Check out this badboy... might be the same underpinnings as what you saw as they do Toyotas too. Incredible attention to detail – it's not an awful lot simpler than a real one, and they thoughtfully provide various parts so you can configure it to match your real one.Count Steer wrote: ↑Tue Oct 10, 2023 10:42 amGrown up toy if it's anything like the RC Toyota that popped up on Instagram yesterday.

I want one real bad! Though they're the best part of 700 quid... and you need to add your own RC stuff, motor, batter, servo...

Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
That looks likely. It's not just detail for detail's sake on those transmissions, as you say, it all appears to work like the real thing.Slenver wrote: ↑Tue Oct 10, 2023 12:58 pmCheck out this badboy... might be the same underpinnings as what you saw as they do Toyotas too.
