    Remapping worth it?

    I have to smile at "improves economy", like that's ever the reason people do it and in real terms do you really improve the mpg over the weekly drive, man maths at its best :) In real terms you are not going to get an improvement in mpg and you will shorten the life of the engine, but you will...

    The nervous wait to exchange....

    I'm looking move later in the year and PB are really the way I want to go, I don't see the value of an estate agent tbh, after the advert and pictures on RM then the only value is checking the buyer can buy and handling the offer, all this for 1.5% plus VAT is outrageous imho. Last purchase I...

    RC cars

    From what I am told they had gone that way but they wanted to bring it back to roots and took the step of rolling there cars back to basic changes only with rules coming to back this up. Seems good to me. I've not heard of a kit in a bag before! I can see me wanting something else later in the...

    RC cars

    I'm being guided in the changes that i'm making to the car, they try to keep the bones of the car fairly stock, battery, esc, motor and main parts but something are swapped out as the original are just not up to racing. Stock shocks never made it on, bearings obviously, tyres. I have the...

    RC cars

    I'm fighting the urge to buy another and build it to be honest. I built the first one quickly to race the coming week which I really enjoyed doing it but now I'm thinking i'd like to do another but take my time :D

    RC cars

    Second week just gone of racing in the TT-02 class. New tyres this week I think caused me all sorts of issues, ended up drifting more than driving it round corners. Then I was helped with the cars set-up, it was riding too high so got that a bit nearer and the cars behaviour changed again on...

    What film did you watch last night?

    Argylle, passable Sunday evening film. 5.5/10 Family enjoyed it but were all on their phones at various points of the film. Better than the junk that was on tv though!

    Spec me a dedicated E-reader please...

    I've had my Paperweight for nearly 9 years now. Don't read it everyday, weekends and holidays but still going strong and still holds enough charge for a few weeks away. Backlight is perfect when I start to read very early but its equally easy to read in the sun. Page turn works well. When I...

    Dune: Part 2 (2024)

    Watched this in Imax on Sunday and very much enjoyed the film. Totally worth seeing in Imax, the scenery and the sound were immense. Very tempted to go again if I have the time.

    What's the furthest you've been in an EV?

    Edinburgh and back from the south coast in a M3P. Went there (500 ish miles) and then drove about while up there and came back a couple of days later. Drive both ways was really nice to be honest, charged at (I think) Warwick and then Tebay which was really good. We picked up a fast charge in...

    RC cars

    I've ended up going to Eastbourne and chatting to a few people there, everyone was really helpful and the point about them is they race every Wednesday night which is perfect. Adur race Friday and Sunday so not ideal, not saying I can't ever but i'd rather have something that I can slot into my...

    RC cars

    Thank again. I'm going to go along to Adur and see what's going on, their schedule dates actually don't mesh well with my life and i'd rather leave my weekends for family but its so local its hard not think I can't fit it in, the one at eastborne does look good too and I could make that...

    RC cars

    Thanks again for this. Ok, your points onboard and that first motor choice looks good to me. Where do you race if you don't mind me asking? I've got quite basket gear running now, must hold back till I've been there...

    RC cars

    I do like a post with links to products! You're a star. I shall look at all of that! I do intend to go for middle to top end stuff, trying to balance with my ability (which is currently unknown!) with a good level of car that can carry forward as my skill hopefully improves. I couldn't get...

    RC cars

    Thanks for this, I'll look more at these makes. Adur is a couple of miles away, Eastbourne and Hastings are doable but not something i'd do every week so Adur both tracks is perfect but id guess once i'm running it seems that many of the Adur members seem to race in different clubs, I do like...

    RC cars

    I'm looking to get back into this hobby. Used to race with a club in the 80's. Grasshopper, Hornet, Hotshot were all cars I ran then which weirdly seem still to be current cars! Dropped out back then due to time and money, to contend you really needed to have a better car than I could fund...

    Frankly obscene Ring 42.8% subscription increase

    My subscription doesn't end till December so I will see what happens with this, I like the functionality with Ring and I do have a doorbell, internal ringer and a second camera. Will see how this all pans out and where people go with devices...

    Which Smart Thermostat?

    I'm in with a Tado system that i put in last month and I am more than pleased with it. Not paying monthly for any of the "smart" stuff, as it comes out the box is doing everything I need. I found it easy to fit myself and have been making changes to the schedule to fit our busy family...

    Premium Bonds - If you post to say how much you've won, please also say how much you have invested.

    Not interested in PB's but i thought i'd let you know what an utter pain they are should you die. My father in law had around 40k in them and died in December. They are the single worse company to deal with, they are insisting on probate when nobody else has and they estimate 4-6 months till...

    Car write off advice

    Just been through the process with my daughter who really mucked it up to be honest. Damage reported, took it for assessment, told it was a write off. Offered amount and paid, company come out and take old one away, if you ask they will give you a scrap value and you can buy it back from them...
