Memories of playing Need for Speed Undercover on the Wii in about 2010

Knew that would hook you ;)

It was The Tempest actually

Listening to Pendulum when this post arrived in my feed was a very good choice

Still thinking about that Bellett GT-R, just needs the factory steelies

I believe I know this story, is it the chap who wanted one for his best mates funeral? Unfortunately ours is still not roadworthy otherwise would love to get involved

River Itchen sewage spills threatening salmon survival, says MP Winchester's MP highlights sewage spills potentially affecting the endangered Atlantic salmon.

We know that our chalk streams are facing a raft of existential threats at the moment. In the first seven weeks of 2026, sewage has been flowing into the Rivers Itchen, Hamble and Meon for nearly 2,000 hours combined.

This is unacceptable. We need tighter regulation on water companies now.

Nearly got taken out on two occasions by kamikaze Fiestas last night, including one that nearly had me in a head on had I not planned and executed a dodge into the verge. I thought all the chavs had migrated to M135is by now

I didn't actually know these were a thing. Not a Mercedes person by any means, but I quite like this, always thought the shape was very daring

Now this is my kind of supercar

I can't think of another confirmed time there were direct unguided bombing runs carried out by the UAF post 2022, do correct me if I am wrong tho

I still remember waking up 4 years ago to a world forever changed. Ukraine reminds me every day that we do still have a say even against the odds, but we must be prepared to back our voices with action, lest our agency be left in the past tense.

Hope you're doing ok m9, I am always surprised at how solvable many problems are, so whatever you are facing I am sure there is a solution hiding there somewhere

My beloved

As a keen history student I can understand the need to have professional reenactors of the Wehrmacht at historical events - that is history after all and it should serve as a warning.

But I've always found those who actively choose to role-play the SS to be very disconcerting. Choices say a lot...

This looks like so much fun, doubt there are any left tho :(

A classic from Forza Horizon 2 💓

Those are always the most interesting ones IMO. Exclusivity is not about having something everyone wants, it is about having something no one remembers. I concur prices should be lower as always

Yes, it leaks. Yes, I ruined the paint, and yes the radio/cassette now doesn't work. But driving this for the first time in months, now it is finally fixed, I suddenly know what it is to laugh behind the wheel and almost fall back in love with driving. It helps when you have the A4 to yourself...

Had to pull over to get a picture of this DS3R, worth it tho. Was this the last time Citroen lost the plot? The remains of my 11 year old self has always liked the colourscheme, but this is surely one for @rarebutnobodycares.bsky.social

Always thought this was a very smart design. Yes it is podgy, but it hides its bulk with nice proportions

Nimbus Coupe, they made about 25 of them in about 1984-85. A-Series mini running gear, but mid engined. The one in the picture is turbocharged as well.

Going directly for the Venturi and GTA it would seem. Handsome thing

Can I get a shoutout for the Nimbus Coupe? Andover's greatest contribution to the world of sports cars, aside from the RHD converted DeLoreans

That is gorgeous, I am presuming you're a fellow member of the Colt Car Club?

Yes, it is like nothing else ever attempted before or since but I agree the second half takes a bit of getting used to. Everything is better with Richard Burton in it tho

Does anyone else think that Microsoft Bookings is utterly hopeless, or am I just a terminally brain rotted GenZer?

I have seen the correct answer but am curious, what did you think of it?

Paper Hearts was a phenomenal X-Files episode
