  1. Not sure if this lockdown has made people crazy or something but the guy across the road has started to become increasingly annoying by copying what we do? I cut the lawn, then he will start his a couple of hours later / following day. I clean the car and he will begin to clean his,  Installed a new doorbell, so has he. Cleaned all the windows and the following morning his son starts theirs? It has been happening for a good while now. Oh and if you want to step outside there is a very high chance one of them is looking over! Definitely odd especially because we have known them for over 15 years...

      Same with one of my neighbours - if i'm working out the front of the house, he always has to come out to do some random task to "check" what I'm doing!

  2. Anyway of viewing this forum as a desktop site on a mobile (iPhone whatever the lastest one is?! Safari browser) Most sites have a switch to classic/desktop option but cant see it?

      View it as mobile site? Mine doesn't look too bad on mobile, it kind of switches mode. I can't find a specific mobile/desktop switch.

      @Nick might know?

  3. Lad was using his EMB yesterday and there was a "ripping" or "grinding" noise at times when accelerating. Is this likely to be the motor pinion on the spur. I think the spur is plastic?

      Just thought I'd ask before I start to strip down. 

       

      The front and rear diffs (4WD) looked ok last time I cleaned it all a few weeks back, but didn't check/remove the pinion or spur gear.

      UPS are useless. Asked to DM details but then just get a stock answer to keep an eye on tracking.

       

      I am doing that and it's clear that nothing is happening!

       

      Emailed Modelsport as well - not their fault. If I'd have known they'd use UPS I would have ordered elsewhere.

  7. Best online retailer for polycarbonate paint? 

     

    Are Tamiya the only brand to go for?

    1. Coops

      Coops

      Been round a few of the online suppliers suggested. Looks like Model Hobbies is the cheapest @ £6.18 per can (when ordering 3).

       

      Wireless £7.98

      Modelsport £7.94

      RCCarshop £7.58

       

      However, need PS5 Black and everywhere seems out of stock! 😐

      Just remember: While the minimum number of RCs you should own is three, the correct number is n+1, wherenis the number of RCs currently owned. This equation may also be re-written ass-1, wheresis the number of RCs owned that would result in separation from your partner/wife/OH/lass/Mrs/Her Indoors!

  15. Has anyone heard of this before... Just had my artwork collected by DHL, he claims you now have to leave parcels open for drivers to inspect when they are going out of the country?

    So what, we leave them open, they inspect them, then they're going to hang around for 10-15 minutes while we package the items back up.

     

    1. Coops

      Depending upon where it's going, it has to be pre-inspected but this is only reserved for shipment to "dodgy" places and then only when shipping commercial items, not personal.

  21. For your lunatic and dangerous driving down the M62 East tonight, Mr C 4 gas installation van driver, resulting in a near collision as you attempted to make a BMW sandwich, consider one phonecall placed to your employer, who has tracked you on the system so we confirmed it IS you, and will be relaying my comments to your manager. :cussing2:

  22. Theory test question. 

     

    If the central reservation is narrow you should treat is as a single carriage way. 

     

    Why when you don't drive on the central reservation? 

     

    Does it mean if your going to turn off and cross the on coming lane to exit the dual carriageway. But even so it says it in a few questions asking is your car wider than the central reservation. 

     

    I don't understand this cos we don't drive on it. 

    1. Coops

      Coops

      ...or your front end sitting out into outside lane of the opposing side of the dual carriageway. Presume it means that you should treat the dual carriageway as ONE road and only proceed when it is clear in both directions because you can't safely wait in the centre.

       

      As above, common sense applies but seems not many drivers (or non drivers) have much of that these days.

  23. As of 2019 there will only be one free to watch f1 race, the British GP. Sky have bought the rights until 2024 so the only way to watch it would be to pay them £25+ a month. And they wonder why views are going down? I bet the sponsors will be happy.

      Although a little more digging shows that this isn't the case. End of F1 then in the UK. As the GDPA statement today shows, F1 is currently going in the wrong direction.

      That's not right. The Concorde Agreement stipulates it must have a proportion of free to air screenings, it can't go majority subscription.
