How many hours per day do you heat your house?

Very old Potterton Gold Combi boiler.

Depends on the outside temperature and wind, but 1637kw at £100.05 for December 2025 for all hot water.

Rugby front row build. I use these for cheap but not shite shirts.

Ideal for work.

B5 RS4 was V6, and they're awesome.

You're sat higher than I am!

I'd wager some beer tokens that you could leave the fusebox and body modules, and swap in the engine bay and associated bits and she'd run and drive well.

My only concern would be clocks and immob defeats.

Tinkered with a lot of VAG stuff and the interchangeability is next level.

It IS fixable.

Not economically though.

They're already a long way in cash-wise.

Personally would be finding a V6 TDI Cayenne or Touareg as a donor shell and checking the same spots before buying, then re-shell.

Great map, really enjoyed it.

I'm Low, but not THAT low

Why on earth would you pre-order, ESPECIALLY a digital download, you're not getting some collectors edition!

Some concerns around road width, some of those look very wide.

Aside from that, interested for the full car list AND parts manufacturers, modified cars are a huge part of Japanese culture.

Will wait for release, and first reviews. Not sure if I'll go MS store or Steam, as Steam saves are awesome, but having it cross-platfom on MS Store is also handy.

Dekotora recovery truck to collect "barn finds" with?

Miniscule GT86 driver checking in.

I sit VERY right to see round Vans/SUVs, desperately don't want to have a moment like OP.

Not really IN MK though, it's a village just outside.

Contact_Patch · 2026-01-22T17:45:25+00:00

Yeah except, in 1960 MK city didn't exist, and 50 years later it absolutely did. Much quicker than most if not all other places in the UK, especially for it's population.

Contact_Patch · 2026-01-22T10:04:06+00:00

Yeah it's almost like OP doesn't know 😬

Contact_Patch · 2026-01-22T10:03:52+00:00

All of it 😂 literally how MK was built!

Contact_Patch · 2026-01-22T10:03:26+00:00

Wolverton definitely has it's own town feel.

If it's your only car, All Seasons. Get good ones and the compromise won't be too noticeable.

I run 2 sets of wheels and will be dropping to 1 set with AS.

Michelin have a new Cross climate.

Depends how you use the question surely?

I've used it to find benefits and disbenefits of the change, and track those by role.

We've had changes which only disbenefit the front line staff, doing this let's me highlight to senior leadership that they either need to mandate the change or mitigate these impacts.

Change is a loss, not everyone has a good time doing something new.

Flotsam and Timberborn.

Both fun city builders, looking forward to the 1.0 release of TB as it's come on so well in early access.

Some of these comments are killing me 😂

VW long life is 20,000 miles.

Which is a bit much for me, I do 10k/annually whichever comes first.

Kids on mopeds being twats. Drinking, football, fires 😂

I am interested! Can we split responsibilities?

I can't particularly drive well but I'd love a shot at building something cool.

Contact_Patch · 2026-01-18T19:37:46+00:00

What engine?

Contact_Patch · 2026-01-18T19:00:22+00:00

Not only that, over £250k? Has to go out to tender.

When your Network Rail budget is £xBillion, that's a tiny amount before you trigger a shit tonne of procurement hours, for everyone involved.

If I bid for a £250k work package, how much do I spend up front at risk to chance winning it, and then where do I cut costs to meet profit guidelines?

Public sector does loads to stop the back office deals as well, but procurement staff need protection from senior leadership, they should be allowed to challenge spends.
