    Official 2024 Bahrain Grand Prix Thread - International Circuit, Sakhir - Round 1

    Had a really eloquent arguement explaining how I love watching all the effort each team puts in and the dynamics at play, which are most chaotic and unpredictable at the begining of each season. But got to move with the times... Suuuuuuppppppeeeerrrr MAXXXX!

    Cyptolambo 2 is dead.... kindai goes car shawping

    It's painful how expensive cars in Spain are, even the most worn looking automatic original r8s with 150k kilometres in silver are 60k+ :(

    The RX 7900 GRE - A strangely flawed product?

    I might be out of touch, but if the power delivery is the limiting factor could under volting not potentially be more beneficial?

    Relocation to Spain Experience

    Good news you have it covered. In your previous posts you refer to having a builder manage the site for you, is that you giving us the cut down version? In Spain (maybe the UK as well, I don't have experience) standard process is to hire an architect independently. They handle the endless...

    Relocation to Spain Experience

    Yeah confused the hell out of me at first, I checked the first couple were right then just went with it. IIRC it's like national insurance and then the tax gets split between different national and local authorities/departments. They also show the tax implications of benefits as well.

    Window replacement options

    Appears they have damaged the window trim as well, looks like a hole punched through it, my Spanish isnt perfect but I think he said they used a screw driver placed against the trim then hit with something, looks like an insurance claim :(

    Window replacement options

    So some oiks derived pleasure from smashing my rear drivers side passenger window. The didn't take anything.. I've not had to get side glass replaced before, my insurance says its covered, but doesn't mention anything about paying the excess? Does that mean they completely cover it, or is it...

    Learning to drive a (manual) car in 2024 as a 25 year old guy?

    Practice makes perfect, when you are doing it daily instead of in a car with an instructor an hour a week you rapidly learn the skills. If you want to have an easier time learning to use a manual, get a diesel, imo their powerband is far more forgiving for new drivers.

    Official 2023 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Thread - Yas Marina Circuit - Round 23

    Think the RBs will walk this home. Would be great if Max didn't finish on the podium in the final race of the season for the explosive petulance that would occur :D

    Hiring EV in Barcelona

    I would make sure you have somewhere to charge it where you are staying or speak fluent Spanish as finding an unoccupied charger is the beginning of the fun.

    Accidentally shifted to 2nd on the motorway

    Ironically that's not what matters, it's small things like rev matching, managing the power band and engine braking that just make driving more immersive, even at slower speeds.

    Accidentally shifted to 2nd on the motorway

    Gone from a higher power auto for 6 years back to a low power manual, in stop start traffic it's a minor inconvenience, but I never realised how much I was missing the engagement it gives you.

    So where is Speakers Corner?

    Its not worth the hassle, you think it's cliquey here, it's so so much worse there, almost cult like.

    Official 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix Thread - The Strip, Las Vegas - Round 22

    Concerned that some of you may have watched a different race? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9qSwDxF6YI Verstappen was miles further off the track than another other car going into the first corner except those that had to take evasive action, and all of those took it having already turned in.

    Official 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix Thread - The Strip, Las Vegas - Round 22

    Can't wait for Max's radio when they tell him of the penalty, he will need a tear off on the inside his helmet for all the spittle he's going to eject :D
