It looks like you're getting pisstracted.

A lot of UK housing was built without cars in mind!

There's no reason why you couldn't have a separate (private) meter, just for your EV use. My employer was going to do that for me 25 years ago and I set up an old mechanical meter as a demo. When they saw how much I was using for my 10 mile commute, they decided it would cost more to bill me.

No, I have a surgical appliance to prevent that.

Evaporust, like WD40, is a triumph of brand awareness above performance. Its stupidly expensive in the UK. Bilt Hamber's Deox-C (which comes as dry crystals) is just as effective, if not better, and a lot cheaper. There are cheap home brew formulae that appear to out perform Evaporust.

I was talking to Martin at Rustival and had warned him that it was composed almost entirely of Steel-less stain.

Things have changed quite a bit since I built an Acorn Atom (with switchable 100% overclocking) into an ITT2020 (Apple II clone) case.

The only 'fancy' watch I have any interest in would be a Bulova Accutron Spaceview. The Accutron was the first electronic wrist watch and used a tiny mechanical tuning fork as the reference source. The Spaceview started out as a promotional model with transparent dial. Not silly expensive.

Really boring? But I thought you were going for totally boring!

You'll have to try harder.

The next SpaceX launch will have a piece of wood strapped to the side of the rocket.

The maximum CONTINUOUS draw from a UK 13A socket used to be 10A and that's as high as I'd be comfortable running any outlet/plug combination that wasn't brand new. Most 'high draw' appliances are now limited to 2.2kW for that reason. Kettles may still be rated at 3kW due to short run time.

This one was better

Nothing wrong with a slant Four. I quite like mine.

Too many Alfa males, i.e. not yet well developed, or stable enough, for a Beta release.

Not the same, but derived from it. The rack is usually used to limit lock to avoid rubbing, but it's clearance between the wheel and parts of the vehicle that limits usable lock.

In what way did they use Herald steering? There are no shared components (maybe a couple of bushes could be the same). Do you just meant the amount of lock available?

Little snippet of new for you concerning the new EV road rund license rates.

My GTM Rossa kitcar EV has come through at £220 and people on the G-Wiz group have reported the same. It seems the DVLA are dumping them into the PLG class.

Cars didn't often catch fire, or explode, on film or TV until colour film stock came in. Most actual explosives and propellants are smokeless, because it's a good idea to not give away your position on the battle field.

But the mind control rays are beamed up from underground

It's tinfoil socks that you need!

My 'controversial' opinion.

Milk chocolate isn't chocolate.

Nothing less than 70% is acceptable.

Or, someone who casts Dons.

Does the GOP not realise that Teslas have millions of Trans Sisters in them?

Shame the museum website is so flakey.

It was clunky last time (having to update basket after adding an item).

This time it still had that fault and also failed to process the payment twice and I've seen similar problems reported by others. Eventually got it to work on another PC (cookie issue?).

I can see through your motives

Just 20 years since the first EV build on Scrapheap.

I can probably steal some funds from one of my projects to help out again.

The operating system of the USA appears to have crashed.

Please power down.

...and then restart?

Lets not get ambitious.

I distinctly remember YT telling me, back when midrolls were first introduced, not to worry about placing them, because their algorithm would do a better job than I would.

Lies & insults.

I turned midrolls off in my defaults, or YT would have retrospectively added them to all previous videos.

The Nine Lives of the Lectric Leopard, the Original Electric Renault 5 - Hagerty Media Part cottage industry creation, part home-brew project, this Lectric Leopard is a Renault 5-based EV that's stood the test of time.

A friend only fairly recently sold his original R5 EV 'Lectric leopard'.
