  1. Just can't have anything nice anymore. Working long hours all week to be able to keep my car on the road. I come back today and about half hour later I come out to my car to find some scumbag has snapped off my wing mirror! 

     

    Now I need to get a new one tomorrow other wise that'll be a days pay gone, and the money for a new mirror. 

     

    Lucky I have a cheap Corsa!

      More of the issue of potentially crashing the car, have to do a fair stretch on the motor way and a few roundabouts and such. Plus the whole getting tugged thing... 

       

      I got my ghetto modding hat on and managed to nut and bolt the mount to the car and cable tie/gorilla tape the mirror back onto the mount. Got a new one ordered for £16. Just need to swap my blue coloured cover onto the new mint green one and we'll be okay. 

       

      Probably made it sound a lot worse than it actually was but I thought at the time it was buggered haha :)

  4. Richard Hammond crashes again!!! While filming a segment for the Grand Tour he ended up upside down in a field. Airlifted to hospital but not too badly hurt except for a broken leg apparenty.

      In Switzerland during a hill climb event in a electric race car built in Milan. Can't remember what it's called now. Apparently he was conscious and talking at the scene and I thought I read he only had a fractured knee, might be his leg. Every media says something different these days

  7. So I ordered 200mbps virgin fibre, I'm getting 125mbps, is that acceptable?

      @sean-vrs Yeah I've already been eyeing up a nice Linksys router. Just waiting for the funds to appear. 

       

      Only major problem I have is it's range. In a 1950/60s house so it's all thick solid walls. If your downstairs I just switch to 4G it's much faster.

      I might only be actually needing say 10Mbps for the tasks I do. If I am paying for 200Mbps and only getting 20 that's where the problem comes from. Comes to the old thing that's been with ISP for ages is you never get what you pay for. Unless you pay too much for too little...

      We were paying for 50, then when we moved I asked to see how much it would be to go for the 200 and it was £10 a month cheaper and no installation fee :D

      I have the same sealy one. Still going strong after a year. Never even had to change the tip. Just sand it back every now and then and always keep it tinned so it can't oxidise the copper

      All to do with peak times, depending on your area and who's on the internet in your town then that will dictate your peak time. I normally get about 150/130ish during these sorts of hours weekdays, weekends I fail to get below 220Mbps. Then Sunday night comes and it's pants get like 70. 


      You'll never ever see full speed all the time no matter who you're with or what package your on. 

       

      I don't see it as acceptable, but that's the way it is until these companies can come out and update the infrastructure they're using. It's outdated and massively undersized for the demand

      That's the thing, we don't even know who we are actually fighting. They say terrorists but who are they? We can can have a good guess and maybe get a few but until we can pin point what's gonna happen next we are defenceless

      Canister man and someone else has been shot by armed police in borough market. Not sure if the other man is to do with the van.

       

      Really do wonder where we will be as a country in 5, 10, 20 years time if we carry on like this. Probably no better than Syria, Afgan etc etc

      I think this is a bit more serious than a gang shooting. This is national security level of activity. So I can see why the media would report these events and not the others. Not that I'm saying it's right. It's quite disgusting infact.

      It's only getting worse. Problem is the people doing it are already in the country, whether it be immigration or not. So it's already to late to stop it.

       

      Only confirmed things at the moment are the van and stabbings. 

       

      PM said it's being treated as a potential terror attack. Only thing worrying me is they're all still out there possibly lining up their next attack or just got away with it

  14. Roughly how short can you go with the antenna wire on a Spektrum SR310? Mine's still looking like an old AM set XD

    1. HellaFlush

      HellaFlush

      Nope, they were only for a cheapo set anyway. I did have the ends exposed probably a good 20mm or so. I tried to solder up a new longer wire before on one but that didn't really do much either

      Ahh right, my bad. I thought it did have to be. When ever I've cut them down before the range went to like 20 metres tops haha. I'll just pull some back into the Rx box and cut the tube down like you say :doh:

      My antenna tube sticks out about a good 7in from the car so I was wondering if I could cut it down to hide it away basically

  17. Been a pretty good week so far. Heard back from Mercedes about my HGV apprenticeship and they want me to come down for a formal interview on Tuesday! 

     

    Also family friend who does a lot of work for my dad has said he needs some help down at his body shop. So starting there Monday. If that all goes well he could put me through an apprenticeship in car respraying/welding/crash repairs :D

      Thanks lads :)

       

      There's a reason why Ford's have a heated rear window. So your hands aren't cold when your pushing it home. 

       

      Either of yous gonna be a Classic Ford this weekend?

      I hope so, I do find it all very interesting. Plus I kind of half know what i'm doing on most things so that must help towards something... 

       

      Place is called BMC BodyShop, went down to visit for the 1st time today and basically just walked in and he went "Well just pop down Monday and do a weeks work, if you like it and want to carry on then great. If not then oh well" 

       

      Easiest 'job interview' i've ever had xD
