  1. Yes, for “damn it all I wish I’d been a train driver like mum said”
  2. Oops.....naughty Elon..... https://www.unilad.co.uk/technology/tesla-is-fined-16000-per-owner-by-norway-court-for-throttling-battery-capacity-and-charging-speed/?source=Facebook&fbclid=IwAR0ULi4SsKx-waV76CRpFHVKvXTr0cLJ0Q3u2sD0CWAMqmQ7A2OMBEcVj9Q
  3. That’s what I was told by my Son, they just wanted to “get a GEE up” I think he said
  4. You fool, fool I say.......well I hope the weather cheers up a bit for you, looks like it’s getting better next week, I absolutely loathe the A30.......then again the A38 on a Friday afternoon can be somewhat tiring* * f*****g awful
  5. If they had any sense at all (which they clearly don’t) they would see the foolishness in wanting to be in front of someone who might be on their first lesson!
  6. This is the company I had heard about down here https://www.mining.com/cornish-lithium-speeds-up-hard-rock-project-development/
  7. I do believe it’s a completely independent company, not sure it has much investment there, might be wrong but not seen any information on that.
  8. Problem is nowadays the miners get paid very well.....but it only takes half a dozen to do the mining! At least they are employing a lot more while they build the actual site.
  9. You’d better not, it’s a strict 30 mph “over” the Tamar, and then not much faster trying to fight your way through the tin shed haulers the rest of the way. And it’s the A38 over the Tamar, by the time it reaches the A30 it’s a bit of a pi55 puddle......
  10. BTW...it’s an Emmet, a Grockle visits Devon edit.....oops...I notice that Oldduds beat me to it.
  11. I’ll second that......we have to make our runs to the Pharmacy or Post Office before 09:30 now.....while the “visitors” are still recovering from the night before s indulgence, it’s been the past month that has been the busiest we have seen for years. Mind you at least the weathers been absolute 5h1te for them
  12. The best and easiest time to see Port Issac was on a Sunday evening on ITV Too right, it is a nightmare, we dread when we have friends/relatives who force themselves upon us and ask “ohh can we go to Port Wenn”.........”of course, here are your bags”
  13. The news (all press in fact) this morning has been not surprisingly reporting this misnomer, the official announcement has been it is advice for the local areas concerned to give people information to make their own decisions, it’s not a lockdown, local or otherwise. Its the usual “confusing” wingeing from those who wish to stir things up.
  14. Ours was for EMP issues with vehicle and communication systems.
  15. My point was that it’s a Dacia at £18K as soon as it rolls out of the showroom it’ll be within your price bracket And just in case there are owners of Dacia out there.....I WAS JOKING..........there are no “bad, nasty” cars any more (well not in this country) just levels of perceptual one up man ship.
  16. As I stated previously, major manufacturers use the cheapest/easiest/convenient supplier even if the fuel is destined for emissions and sign off testing, after all what’s the point of testing with some esoteric wonder fuel when your customer is going to run the bloody thing on pond water?
  17. They are getting there, if you must stick with a Dacia Sombrero....or Homberg......or whatever they are called this week https://www.electrifying.com/reviews/dacia/spring/review?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIwKTl-cTk8AIVA7vVCh3PAguTEAAYAyAAEgK1nvD_BwE
  18. In my old business it was the Electro Magnetic Field test laboratory.....which ironically was indeed in a field
  19. This, and only this is the reason to use a “special” fuel, but as you say even then it doesn’t necessarily limit you to the one fuel as long as you know what your doing.
  20. Looks like a Nissan Fairlady......or the 280/300ZX......we had one on loan once for competitor elevation (as we did hundreds of cars over the years), nice car but wasn’t really our segment it was loaned in on the flimsy excuse of a Capri comparator
  21. I wasn’t sure of just how small the original unit is, as you say there are smaller (physically) fuses available but most of the miniature fuses are glass bodied rather than ceramic, although it might still work with the appropriate wire wrapped around the body, as from your description it appears it is the wire in the fluid which works rather than the fluid “soaking into” the glass* woven tube. *or whatever it is
