Honestly, it is a bit windy folks, not everything needs a "LIVE" page.

Very much code brown.
That mini okay??
04.08.2025 12:39 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Lots of cool waterfalls and walks.
Dolgoch Waterfall is excellent, lovely walk alongside the river.
The Torrent Walk is nice as well.
There are a few nice walks near the Precipice Walk area too (good parking and signs)
I've spent a long time in Dolgellau ๐
If you don't want to do uplift, you could just rent a MTB and do some easy trails. Coed y Brenin has some excellent free trails for all abilities. The green and blue routes are stunning.
04.08.2025 12:05 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Do you like mountain biking? Hiring a bike at an uplift centre and flinging yourself down a hill is a fun way to spend half a day (they have blue/red routes where you don't have to jump, just hold on). Antur Stiniog is excellent.
You are going to home of Ivor the engine, so get on a steam train too
Spoilers!
(I think it was because the proper name had a really bad reputation state side, so they gave it a different name to avoid that)
So fix it in post is fine if you can ship in less than 5 minutes to every customer 50 times a day. Say a non critical B2C web app.
(I say this as someone whoโs worked in that environment)
But for something that might kill someone, slow the fuck down.
Move fast and kill things isnโt a good look.
-/+ 3 on the year I think.
Which helps spread out the guesses, just trying to remember what years Iโve guessed.
I really think I should build my own version fixing all these issue ๐
LET'S DO IT ๐

Think he said itโs 80 or 90bhp, out of an Austin 7 engine. Which is originally what 15 bhp ๐๐ฒ
On the job training.
02.08.2025 14:35 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0So Boy2 has a new Saturday job helping fixing up Austin 7s from next week. Heโs a very lucky boy.
He got to play in a race car one today.
Nah. Itโs all just Honda.
02.08.2025 13:56 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Excellent mix of interesting cars this morning at the Banbury natter group. 45+ cars. Here are a few.
Loved the Group N Metro, multiple class winner with Tony Pond. #WeirdCarBS
Ah okay. I was very confused, but makes sense.
I wondered if you had an Acura type brand in the US that we just called something else.
Did they get you at the braking zone?
I believe in you Daniel, you can get them.
Mode 7, overtake available.
I knew it was that shape from 1st guess and couldn't remember the exact model, then started doubting myself. SO ANNOYED.

Today is going to be a fun day.
Taking the TR7 to a local classic "natter" group that I can't normally make because of kids sports on a Saturday morning.
Then in the afternoon, taking Boy2 to the local Austin 7 specialist to see if they'll take him on as a "Saturday Boy". ๐ค
Out of curiosity what is an LS badged with you?
02.08.2025 07:05 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0So many hours playing this when I should have been studying in my 1st year at uni.
I also shouldn't have spent any of my student loan on a Playstation...
Yeah nuance, but I can see why they've kicked it out.
I'm taking an amount of joy that the claims vultures might have wasted money getting setup.
But they knew the rate they were paying. Sales people are paid commission to sell the car as well.
They didnโt have to take that rate, itโs always cheaper elsewhere. Feels like rewarding people for laziness.
Pretty sure even Martin Lewis money saving expert guy thought this was a bad idea
