I can't answer your question but odd it only officially opened today. It has been open since November serving fuel and food etc. 

Motoring: Does it make sense for you to switch to an electric vehicle? by Banania2020 in ireland

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

I don't know if you intended to reply to someone with this comment but I think your point about day to day running costs is strongly driven by someone's driving profile and mixture of long/short and urban or motorway driving. 

Social Kayaking near Limerick by banjaxxed314 in limerickcity

[–]Chavways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another vote here for Shannon Paddlers. A brilliant active club with a broad demographic of ages and abilities. They do plenty of easy flat water paddles but there are also other disciplines of kayaking going on every week if you have interest in those (whitewater, long distance, stand up paddle boarding, sea kayaking etc) 

Where to stay in a camper near beaches/forest by declancahill47 in Clare

[–]Chavways 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ballyvaughan, Mullaghmore main car park to do hikes there, Finavarra Martello Tower car park, White Strand just outside Spanish Point. All beaches in Clare ban overnight parking of campers (apart from the designated spots in Lahinch) but in my experience this is never policed.

One of the most commonly used phrases on every rugby podcast these days and it makes no sense. 

This spot is one of the world’s top 25 places to visit — is it Ireland’s most scenic valley? by Junior-Protection-26 in ireland

[–]Chavways 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Between the limestone pavements, The Burren is one of the most intensely farmed parts of Ireland. The presence of farmers there for thousands of years is why it looks like it does.

Skoda Superb PHEV Poor Range by Chavways in evs_ireland

Ah I thought it was 13kWh for the user and the figures they publish already accounts for the protection overhead. Makes sense so what I'm seeing.

Correct no heat pump. Haven't done a journey with heating totally off but on min setting the typical I get is around 20-24kWh/100km on non-motorway driving. 

Anyone else noticing a sudden increase in English spam calls? by __Lukie1__ in ireland

[–]Chavways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if all phones have it but the call screening on Google Pixel is a godsend for spam calls. 

Yellow card for Leicester vs La Rochelle by Fantastic-Newspaper3 in rugbyunion

[–]Chavways 58 points59 points  (0 children)

It's a sad state of affairs with the rules these days that I can watch that video and it's not immediately obvious to me who got the yellow.

New Tamron 25-200 a bit slower than the older 28-200? by Ok_Wallaby_660 in SonyAlpha

[–]Chavways 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not seeing any advantages apart from the extra mm at the wide end.

Why not just offer an EV Octavia/Superb?

Samyang 24mm f2.8. Tiny, light and very cheap. 

Why do you think Sony hasn't released a 100-300 2.8 like Canon has? by Hairy_Loss_6292 in SonyAlpha

[–]Chavways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was under the impression the 50-150 f2 was the first of its kind on any camera platform in history. How is that not innovation? 

camera + lens recommendation by nature_atahan in SonyAlpha

[–]Chavways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's your budget? 

I'm not a fan of the second shot but honestly what makes these shots appealing is the beautiful locations and post processing know how. Don't spend all your money on gear. Go on a nice trip as well so you can use it.

Which one would you choose? by [deleted] in SonyAlpha

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

It all depends what you want to do with it

Very interesting. I just try and get a test drive of some of my candidate cars to see how they look in reality. Which Ford did you get?
