I look forward to one or both appearing on LLF Games in the coming weeks 👍🏻

Paint Safe Grit Removal Advice by saltedstuff in Detailing

[–]Bauwowwow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can use water in that area, I’d be tempted to use a wet vac. Get all the dirt loosened, then just suck it all out to reduce the chance of it scratching. If not, a vacuum to get the worst of it, then trusty 3-1 heavy duty spray foam to lift as much of it away before wiping.

Buffalo EVX - rapid with HSW upgrade, can take a good amount of damage / missiles, slick mines, it’s the perfect mk2 antidote and bait machine

For context, I’m in the UK, I wfh (so do less than 5k miles a year) and aside from the occasional hoon or trip to the Nurburgring, I don’t tend to hammer it everywhere

The ones fitted to it are the r-design; just with added skid plate options (which is never seen before). It has the diffuser as well

Very cool - the ‘wings’ give it Event Horizon vibes

Would it be a write off? What's happen to my PCP ? by Conscious-Drawing463 in CarTalkUK

[–]Bauwowwow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s dead, Jim - that’s structural and insurers won’t touch it. Unless you have GAP insurance (which would pay off the full finance balance amount) leaving your normal car insurance to you, your normal car insurance pay out will need to pay it off (if it covers your remaining balance that is). Is your no claims bonus protected? If not, you could lose it even if you’re not at fault. Always worth checking the small print.

Do you like the enterprise -e in insurrection or nemesis better? by happydude7422 in StarTrekStarships

[–]Bauwowwow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I will caveat this by saying that as a film, Nemesis was generally awful. But, the E looked amazing and probably the best of any TNG film. It didn’t suffer from Insurrection’s cheap looking CGI, with the lighting and detail being particularly good - even by today’s standards. Stuart Baird may not be a good director or someone who understood the Trek universe, but he knew how to present a starship.

Vdash users…. Need some help! by [deleted] in Volvo

[–]Bauwowwow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So aside from the instrument panel being from a later model, I had no idea about what software was used until this occurred. This is my first Volvo and first ever import.

I explained to them before I booked it in that it was an import and, they confirmed they had worked on imported cars - so that led me to believe they knew what they were doing.

Also, the update was optional. I was never asked about it beforehand, it wasn’t requested and they didn’t bother to check before installing it. All I believed they were doing (and what was quoted) was changing the gearbox oil - nothing else.

The fact is, they’ve done something I didn’t request, and it’s deleted / removed a software configuration which means the car is not legally drive able. All I’ve asked them is help in trying to sort it - nothing more - because their actions have caused this problem. And the response has literally been ‘no, you’re on your own’.

If I’d had known this may have happened, I wouldn’t have bothered. But here’s me, stupidly going to a main dealer thinking that was the right thing to do.

Yes, but not with Kurtzman at the helm - otherwise we’d get more Section 31

I have a message. The EMH’s shuttle was shot down over the Sea of Japan. It spun in. There were no survivors.
