Having a dedicated circuit ending in a commando socket with a commando plug increases the surface area of the contact points and reduces the heat build up of the smaller contact points of a standard plug/socket arrangement. These could be considered illegal because the commando socket is not...

You have only been driving 37% of the years I have so you have got plenty of time to catch up. At your age I could not believe that all the old age gits wearing glasses should be allowed to share the roads with me ! I guess that early appeal of Logan's Run has faded now muscles are aching and...

I did the same this morning , again pulling into a parking spot with right lock on, slightly distracted by another car leaving about 4 spots down . I went for the foot brake to scrub off the last bit of movement and hit the accelerator instead with quite a bit of force because I was expecting...

My first car ( Morris Marina ) had an analogue clock which never worked. It did however have an aerial in the roof above the windscreen which could be used as a sundial. That was always a bugger to change twice a year!!!! 🤪

Completely agree with that sentiment , the OP did mention about concerns about low mileage cars and presumably a connection as to why there are quite a few available. Many reasons why of course , too many to list, but the obvious first thought is " don't like it, dump it" to which the OP...

I think if you were to pick on any car that's been around since 2022 and scan its 2nd hand adverts there will be a close match in low/high mileage models available. In France there are lots of 2nd hand MG4s available , but we at the time got generous grants for electric cars but we had to keep...

From my metallurgy classes back in the 70s a lecturer informed us that BL cars rusted quickly because they wanted steel with a 4% addition of aluminium. This was more ductile and easier to form and so the pressing moulds lasted longer . This aluminium lay at the grain boundaries of the steel and...

Balls........ black gold ..... Buckminsterfullerene that is, Jed . 😬

Because the rear compartment is quite dark its handy to know what the dogs are up to when you take them out dogging. ( I might need to re-read that through , and thanks to Peter Kay. )

That's one hell of a pile up you've got there! all caused by a tiny full stop. No excuse for the four professional drivers at the rear of the queue. Or is it an advertisement by NCAP for the successful use of AEB? :p

Cinderella's in trouble , she will need the RAC , Royal Agricultural College. :D

Terry !!!! you'll be back on the naughty step pretty soon . Look what happened last time :p :p

I needed that prompt other wise , zilch !

Did you never have the bits of stiff cardboard (plastic from a washing up bottle ) sellotaped to the forks and click/clacking on the spokes ? as well as a dinger dong , mainly for " look at me " rather than pedestrian warning. Nice touch with the gloves though! On my first motorbike ( 2 stroke...

All my previous motorbikes had folding footrests with hero blobs , but none of my pushbikes ever did. What sort of lean angles are you achieving in Scotland on your push irons ? mountain road hairpin bends ? Possible fortune to be made in Youtube revenues for video evidence of sparking pedals on...

I don't think Don H wants to share his medical state of health on an EV forum, Oh , I see what.....

They could have bunged on an extra grand and said it had auto massage seats for some lucky lottery chosen customers. Oversight from the marketing/spin dept. 🫤

Dads insurance????? :sneaky: Just kidding. With my first car , I was driving along when a car in the opposite direction lost their circular hinged fuel cap cover. This bounced along the road towards me and appeared to be heading straight for the windscreen. Don't know how , but the last...

No matter what you get, your first car will always stick in your memory , for a multitude of reasons. Just to add, isn't it cheating starting with a MG4 , you have not done your apprenticeship starting with an old banger and tweaking it , getting your hands oily , finding bits in scrapyards with...

Its a differentialized twin cog reduced speed but talk multiplier with a smooth grin factor. Spot the deliberate but relevant mistake. :D
