Think Guy Martin and myth busters have done this.. Saw some footage of a bloke on a snowmobile racing a motorbike along some lake. But riding pipe on a motorbike is insane.. Yep, I prefer surface water sports but snorkelling/freediving is so accessible.. Something to be said for being able to...

Ford are plumping for LFP for many future vehicles. I believe Tesla are doing same. https://www.cummins.com/news/2022/09/30/5-fast-facts-know-about-lfp-batteries The numbers Ford are talking about for EVs are staggering. Seems they are wanting to be largest supplier. Blue Oval normally achieve...

Certainly unwise whilst in AF but if you stick to your limits its a very safe sport. Been involved with both diving and freediving, potential for fatal accidents I think is way higher in ordinary diving. Embolism and nitrogen bubbles developing in blood (bends) are impossible in freediving Folk...

I used to sink but afraid no longer. But since my last ablation getting back into freediving. (consultant insisted a definite no no whilst in AF) Taking it steady tho.. No really deep attempts. (stay above 30ft).

He is welcome to them. Considering the abuse they, ve had... They, ve done well. One careful owner?? Just to be pedantic, for a change...I don't think jogging causes the issues but if you have problems jogging won't help. (but many physios will tell you otherwise) We can only say it as we have...

https://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-news/tech/porsche-synthetic-fuels/ Only a drop in ocean at moment. (130k litres pa) but planning on 55 kk pa by 2025.?? No mention of price.

I had serious issues with both knees. Started with snapped cruciate 25 years ago,... various ops etc.. Cut a long story short, bad arthritis right knee, moderate on other. Seen loads of physios over years, initial NHS ones had me jogging on treadmill.. Terrible. Saw sports physio ( previously...

Yep, agreed, but problem is you can invariably make it when you don't need it, so you store it, but problem then is battery is full because you filled it on cheap rate during the night. It's certainly not as simple as folk assume. You need quite massive production facility coupled with massive...

Besides, vageries of inflation do not justify making poor investments. Forking out £12k for panels, batteries, system and instalation is either worthwhile or not.. IMHO it isn't in current climate (especially UK climate) even taking into account substantial rises in tariffs. If CEGB purchased...

That's rather like me saying your panels are bordering on worthless if you tried to sell them. Which to be fair they nearly are. The simple fact is even if my investments are devaluing they are still offsetting your very poor return (on Circa 12k investments). Work out the date when you will...

Working and financially viable are 2 different things. Obviously they work, would be rather odd if they didn't. I had a really close look into them quite recently. To my mind the outlay of £12k is not justified with savings I calculated. People forget that the £12k left alone even in current...

Try it in Rotherham.

A good mate of mine was a top salesman, one of those who could sell ice to Eskimos and Oil to Arabs on same deal. He used to often say anyone can sell stuff. Clever bit is making a profit. Reckon most sellers on ebay aren't showing profit.. EBay take that,and it's got much worse over years. (I...

It's not quite that simple Guerney. I sell quite a lot of windsurfing kit and reaching point where I will stop offering carriage. It's become prohibitive on boards basically on price but that's not only issue. I, ve had more misplaced, lost or damaged sails over last 18 months than previous 10...

Was written for me and flecc. No it wasn't..,...

You make some good and valid points but I do think you miss a really important issue. It's impossible to quantify but a massive part of our economic security is based on all our desires for individual transport. The building of roads and vehicles to fill them fostered a massive part of our...

Don't think an EV would compare well on any objective measure against my current 2 litre diesel. £30 a year road tax. Averages 55 mpg. My regular run to coast and back (150 miles) I average 60 mpg. Under £20 most trips, most its cost £23. (figures not from on board computer, but from old...

I agree with post in general but having had a paddle shift/auto for 5 years or so I have to say its now my preferred choice. I have system set so that I change gear with paddles but if I don't feel like it I can leave system to do it. I don't think we will ever reach a point where gearbox can...

In early days of motoring a couple of manufacturers had fake horses on bonnet.. To ease folk out of horse and carriages. They didn't sell well.
