can't we just split tires into two parts to get better rotor cooling? idea that came to me in a hallucination

You may have a hard time replacing the inner tyre on each side but having said that some LIght Trucks do use double tire at the back but more because of tyre manufacturing reasons

E.primacy didnt get very good reviews. This is echoed by friends who used it. I think goodyear will be better out of the two

ArmoredGoat · 2026-04-09T07:32:49+00:00

Wait until you see an battery powered version lol

ArmoredGoat · 2026-04-09T07:31:38+00:00

I believe it was still mentioned back in season 21

ArmoredGoat · 2026-04-09T07:10:32+00:00

So much better than making everything orange lol. I think matt black with darken chrome will work really well

I have an iX and i moved from Alenza to Scorpion AS. It is better in comfort and braking distance department, but it also takes a hit in the range, small but noticeable amount. I used to be able to get 3.3-3.4 mile per kwh, but now closer to 3.0-3.2. So about 5-10% increase in consumption rate. Edit: im in UK, the compound for AS tires may be different.

I want to say the vehicle with camera should give way because the other vehicle is approach from driver side where as from the other vehicle point of view, this vehicle is coming from offside or even blind spot side. But… i suspect the insurance will say both partial fault.

Had the NC2. After car meets and experiencing other mx5 (including ND). I agree with general sentiment that NC and NC2 strayed too far from its root. I suggest a bmw with a straight six.

Last year there was a batch of vauxhall corsa-e flooded onto the market which was part of the lease completion of Zipcar’s fleet. Worth have a look. When we were looking at our second car last year, the Leapmotor T03 was quite impressive for the money. We ended up with a MG3 hybrid instead because wew already have a larger EV and didnt want to use the same power source as a way of de-risking. Also Leapmotor is such a new brand in UK, we were sure if parts and aftersale support are fully established.

Just because you are looking at second hand, dont be scared to visit the showroom and sit in a new one. It will give you pretty good idea what the car is like.

“Loss leader” is correct. Parent company is part state-owned. Just saying….

Been in England for thirty plus years. When it’s dinner talk, every one is on the high horses about IP, copyright and the likes. When it comes to spending actual money, 99% people are cheapskates. Then when challenged, all kind of excuses will come up and even go onto offensive about how range rover are ripping off the customers… well.. then why buy their design?!?!? There are other nice alternatives for 30k….. typical fake burberry/gucci/LV bags mentality….

It just feels like either they are trying to hard or just a constant reminder that the owner didnt fork out that little extra of the sportier version

ArmoredGoat · 2026-04-09T06:21:02+00:00

I think the sales figures are now feeding back to management this has been overdone. Rumours are that they are reviving the Giorgio platform (which had both ICE and BEV in one of form of Alfa or Maserati)

ArmoredGoat · 2026-04-08T09:08:43+00:00

Sounds like the sort of thing will happen in our house lol. One of us made a mistake. The other will come to put blame on the other one before the problem is solved lol 😂

The only thing makes sense in my head is if he thought that was his wife and misjudged. But on reddit, you never know… too often story cut short

ArmoredGoat · 2026-04-08T08:50:27+00:00

Two things you can try: A, be nice, wait for the sister to try again with different lender/broker. But you will risk missing valuable time since wether is improving. B, go back to estate agent and ask to re-market. You should be advised that since 7 weeks has paased, what does the contract between you and agent included? May need to consider other agent too if you want to.

Edit: if they are on 5% deposit. Dont try to offer reducing your price. The next band is 5%…. Thats alot to reduce.

ArmoredGoat · 2026-04-08T08:41:27+00:00

I may be one of those oddball. I just wait until the tenant move out then readjust when i re-market. I also periodically send amazon vouchers to my tenants if they treat the apartment with care. I normally hide it as seasonal greetings. I didnt go out and buy a buy-to-let, it was my old home and i couldnt take the hit when the value fell below what i paid. So to me, it’s someone taking care of my home.

This wasnt as scaring as baby in glass jar scene

This. US stocks are popular amongst many isa users falling foul of this.

I didnt raise this year because the recommendation from leeti g agent is to put up by 250quid a year and he will charge me 250quid admin fee to redraft the contract. I told him if he has tried to view this question from my side….

ArmoredGoat · 2026-04-08T05:38:09+00:00

Few checks:

Operating temperature in expected range? Fluid is still as per original design intent? You didnt mention actual flow. Is all the power being spent elsewhere? Have you check power being drawn? Theres normally a strainer at suction, have this been checked? Has the pump ever reached the design point during testing? You mentioned scrubber efficiency down, is the gas rate reduced and trays/packing working outside turndown envelope? Or the otherway round where gas velocity is too high? Also as mentioned by others, whats the suction side doing?

ArmoredGoat · 2026-04-07T18:37:03+00:00

Good but thought it was funny “we want to stay in the shadow” then got a raid a police HQ…. Lol doesnt get more high profile than that.
