My daughter wanted to replace the badly kerbed and scratched alloys on her Beetle Cabrio. Instead of spending £1200 on a new set of alloys I suggested that we could refurbish the existing wheels ourselves for a fraction of the price. So for the last two weekends we've been sanding and painting...

Daughter wanted to wash her car, so spent the day washing, then polishing the car, cleaned the interior as well. Plus tested the tonneau cover for the cabrio roof for the first time. She's not done a bad job IMO

So I made an unsupervised purchase for myself and bought a 3D scanner to scan objects to either reproduce on my 3D printer, or make accessories for them. This is the scanner I decided to see if I could put it to practical use, so went about designing a wall mounting bracket for my tyre...

I got this today as a Father's day gift from my eldest daughter, it's a Supagard sustainable air freshener. The disc flips open, and inside is a foam pad which you put drops of scented oil onto. The back of the disc has holes in, and it clips onto any air vent using a rubber coated clip. It's...

As I was dragged by the family to Cribbs Causeway today I decided to test out the Tesla Superchargers there as they are open to all EVs. I used the ones by John Lewis in car park A. If you're on travels along the M5, Cribbs Causeway is very close to junction 17 of the M5. There's plenty of...

Posting this in a new thread but mentioned this on the Tesla self driving thread. Anyone else getting T1000 Terminator vibes?

So today I thought I'd test out the new Tesla Superchargers that have been installed at Burger King, Eastville, Bristol. These chargers are open to all EVs, and as forum members have pointed out, are the cheapest way of rapid charging when out and about. There are 8 350kW chargers here. I...

As we all know, Sainburys are rolling out Kempower rapid chargers to most of their supermarkets. They are certainly not hanging about getting it done in Bristol. It wasn't long ago they installed 8 of them at Sainburys Emersons Green, Bristol. Today I popped into Sainsburys Stoke Gifford...

Got sent this earlier: Contractors working for Osprey have this week begun installation of 16 ultra-rapid electric vehicle (EV) chargers at the Willow Brook Centre, Bradley Stoke. Previous article on the Bradley Stoke Journal website: Willow Brook Centre electric vehicle chargers approved at...

Dropped into Sainsburys supermarket at Emersons Green in Bristol this afternoon. I was pleasantly surprised to see they've added 8 150kW rapid chargers. No app for them, work via contactless or chip and PIN only. Easy and fast to use. They look like Osprey ones, but not branded as such.

So an EV has just set the world record for longest distance driven underwater. See video below. Anyone up for attempting to break the record in an MG? ;)

On holiday in Devon and stopped at Buckfastleigh to top up at the Salmon's Leap Charging station. It's operated by Osprey and there are 16 rapid chargers, two of which are long bays for EV towing trailers. Reviews on ZapMap said it was effortless and the best charging station in UK. I have to...

So I'm new to EVs, but my daughter has been driving them all her life. Many years ago I built a Toylander 1 (based on Series I Land Rover) for her to drive. It's an electric vehicle, and it uses mobility scooter running gear underneath. She first drove it aged 3 (in the snow), and many years...
