there's a few ways ranging from black boxes, to cameras but they all need extra infrastructure, which means cost and thus more to claw back from us punters. We already have the MOT system (for cars older than 3 years) - so (to me) it's the simplest option without adding extra cost. as for...

Moving from emissions-based tax to mileage system makes a lot of sense, especially with the push towards electric cars. Electric vehicles roll and damage the same roads as the petrol cars next to them - ironically probably more, as they're typically heavier. So why should they be exempt from...

there's pros and cons to both m8. lessons for 1/2 a day in a row has a good chance of having the same people each day - so adds some social elements. And gives you people to ski/board with during the rest of the week. also, while I understand your concerns about ski-legs on the 1st day -...

It kinda depends what level insurance you're after. If it's just theft then see if it can be covered by your house policy. It's not in a shed and with an approved lock, so I think a lot of house insurance can provide some cover. Years ago I used to do this, but after a claim they then refused...

we've found you can bypass the login queue by just joining from Steam friends list. Even if they're in a full squad it worked and loaded me into my ship.

I used to cycle commute and had this fun. I found a backpack just made me sweaty and even after a shower I could feel my back clammy. My cyclocross bike didn't have pannier options so I went for an underseat clip-on bag, which I found amazing...

I've not driven the S2000 car but I do know the engine quite well. I've used one (with the s200 gbox) in a Westfield kit car. The engines aren't as bulletproof as the "not a single warranty claim" reputation that I've heard from dealers a few times. Whether it's age, or lack of maintenance...

It's good to hear there's been a suitable resolution, but I'm still confused about this all. As I understand the card was in warranty, so why wasn't it sent back to MSI for their help? I appreciate the warranty is with the retailer, but if they're unable to repair or replace then shouldn't MSI...

I think the reality is, emtb are ace, but the weak link is the motor and they all seem to have bad reputations on different forums. It's much like any forum - people complain when they have a problem and don't post "another day, no problems" - so forums/groups are always swayed towards issues...

There's so many emtb options that it kinda depends what you want to do, what riding you do and whether you're wanting to ride with mates... After a bit of research I went for an Orbea Rise H15 just over a year ago. I wanted a "light weight" option as I regularly need to lift the bike over...

Anything is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Unless we're a car dealer we all probably think our cars are worth more than the market rate. But, at the end of the day, to convert that object into $$ requires someone to open a wallet and hand it over. If the highest offer is...

Are the Passmark benchmarks so different to everyone elses? I've tended to use their site as a quick ref, but their score for the 4070TIS is well above 4080 and nearing 4090, with a ~20% uplift from the 4070TI. https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html 4090 - 38845 4070TIS - 37867...

I'm torn. The 1st being isometric always made aiming a smidge of guess-work, which resulted in (many) TKs. I also seem to remember that all characters needed to stay on the same screen (not sure tho), which means coordination. This being a third person shooter it looks almost more like Gears...

I was the 1st to quote you and I'm sorry if your post was genuine. I'm sorry for my less than welcoming post - just we, like every forum, occasionally get the odd new members with an oxymoronic/asinine post to get a rise out of others, and being blunt, someone with a group 50 insurance car...

Can't work out if this is a humble-brag, troll or genuine. Tesla 3 performance is group 50 insurance, out of 50. it's the highest group. It sounds like you claimed insurance on a couple scratches, which would have been obvious to impact insurance down the line (likely WAY more than just...

I've not seen anyone mention the Spinnaker 50 Phantoms on here - they did a v limited release last week of a ghost-themed 50 fathoms homage. photos: https://www.ablogtowatch.com/hands-on-debut-the-spooktacular-spinnaker-fleuss-seconde-seconde-fifty-phantoms/ Personally, I thought it looked...

I stumbled upon the ONS earnings report for UK PAYE stats, and it's quite humble reading... https://www.ons.gov.uk/employmentandlabourmarket/peopleinwork/earningsandworkinghours/bulletins/earningsandemploymentfrompayasyouearnrealtimeinformationuk/september2023 My understanding of this (and...

i think that's summed these up - she was having a go at me for even mentioning it, as "at my age, there's more things to worry about than cars" - but 1) I'm not your age 2) whether it's through repair or loss of sales price, they've caused me a financial hit. TBH, the male driver was ok about...

Hi, just after some advice the best way to proceed from the knowledgeable people here. An elderly couple door-dinged me over Xmas, they were getting out of their car as we were returning to ours. I noticed a dent/chip on my car and asked them if they hit it and they admitted "I think I might...

I've been keeping my eyes open for some CODE RSC brakes and I've just spotted CRC and Wiggle have the front set for £125, cheapest I think I've seen - if anyone is interested. Annoyingly the rear set isn't anywhere near as discounted, so needing to look elsewhere for that.
