Finally can drive today after being banned for 30 days after my mini stroke.
How does all this work then. And what are these craters in the road???

I test drove one last year and it's forever in my brain. Nothing like it, like being on the back of my grandpas super bike when I was a teenager. (Cool grandpa)
But I think I'd want more room, not as hot legs, and a roof for my actual silly car.
Fixing old cars with no CPUs in them at all.
Carbs, oil and timing.

However it is a good excuse to share the best video on the internet.
Yeah it's been a while (at least 12 months) since I watched it.
Enjoyed the pod so far, I'd never thought about how much it is like a 1st person shooter game before!
Oh thatโs more interesting that my Australian guy. He is a member of vintage car and tractor clubs. I say hello to him every now and then via the club secretaries who send me the emails. โSay hello from Scottish John for meโ

So welcoming, the boy really enjoyed the free painting.
Weโll be back to learn how to play soon.
I fear this may end up being expensive.
My fav movie of all time.

Hit me up with recipe!
Use baking paper.
I tried once, they were nice, but I just threw them on my baking stone directly. Royal pain in the arse scraping that out.
Love the fact they used an air raid siren to clear the streets. Cause that would totally work in London ๐

What, he also does music and not welding on his old mini?? ๐
Love him so much and his music, this is going to be great.

14.02.2026 16:14 โ ๐ 8 ๐ 2 ๐ฌ 6 ๐ 0Code was perfect, following standards in the project.
github.com/simonw/rodney is an excellent addition to my workflow as well.
Yeah something big is happening.
I've started a new job, new massive codebase, got a design to refresh a listing page.
Gave to claude and said make this page look like this, use rodney to take screenshots of before and after, use the after to validate, create PR when done.
Done in < 10 minutes.
Yeah I'm very lucky to have the garage. Was a good excuse to actually clear the garage (and the car port in front of it) up!
Storing a car in a garage, what am I, American?
It's been a bit of an issue for them the garage requirement to get "young" folks. I sneaked in, and the kids helped.
I may have a budget spreadsheet in my google drive planning a restoration and Sprint (16v) conversion of one...
4 cylinder Webber 45 noises...
Original engine and sadly not "mine"
Got it for another month or so after nearly a year of borrowing it from borrowaclassic.co.uk
I've not managed to convince the budget holder that my man maths for getting my own is financially sound.
The budget holder says come back in a few years...
FINE
