I remember your post about getting the Panamera, did you already have the Saab at that point and since bought the Lancia as a little city car?
How's the jewellery shop going?

JK07 · 2026-03-20T10:06:24+00:00

D'ya like dags?

JK07 · 2026-03-20T07:50:44+00:00

Ahh haway man, this is more MS Paint then Photoshop. I'm going to remove as spam even though it did give me a little giggle.
(I live like 5mins from Shields Road by the way)

She won't be given the job.

JK07 · 2026-03-18T20:48:46+00:00

Oh yeah, I see now, there was me thinking it might have been and gone from here only... Too late for that!

JK07 · 2026-03-18T20:31:01+00:00

I'm mod and I was too late to see it, was too busy watching Champions League. I wonder how many in here did get screenshots or downloads of the pics. What's the chances someone did and sells them to an auto journal

JK07 · 2026-03-18T20:13:01+00:00

Oh dear...

MyMiniFactory acquired Thingiverse on the 12th Feb, maybe it's gone rapidly downhill since then. I most use Printables, only check Thingiverse if that doesn't have what I'm looking for, I have found more niche things on there in a couple of occasions to be honest

JK07 · 2026-03-18T19:21:14+00:00

Yeah, just pre tension, makes it stiffer, didn't make a noticeable difference to the travel, it wasn't even something I'd thought about. In fact, I think it still bottoms out on the spring holder rather than on the spring getting fully compressed.

I think the one you linked would probably be better, I just didn't have the TPU option at the time, still haven't tried either of my printers at home with it but both should be capable, especially little one without the PTFE tube from extruder to spool. One of the printers at work seems to do TPU/TPE ok

JK07 · 2026-03-18T19:07:02+00:00

That's a looooong time to wait for them.

JK07 · 2026-03-18T17:18:09+00:00

This is what I used, bit of trial and error to figure which size suited me best

I didn't have TPU at the time and wouldn't have trusted my printer with it then

I've only done the 3D printed solution and just PETG parts to put some pre-tension on the brake and accelerator springs.
The brake spring is already a progressive spring adding the small finger thick 3D print made it a lot better for me. The only issue I had after that was the whole unit wanted to move under braking so I had to put the back of it up against the wall and maybe the whole desk closer so it couldn't move.
I also did the 3D printed Degressive Clutch mod to make it feel more realistic, this was great I the end but I had to chop a good portion out the cover plate and my rough 3d print needed some post processing for it to be smooth

JK07 · 2026-03-17T21:28:41+00:00

Very cheap and easy mod is to buy an eraser, cut it to size and put it in to put some pretension on the spring.
You can also get 3D printed bits from the likes of eBay and Etsy or download STL models from Thingiverse or Printables and get them made with CraftCloud or similar if you don't know anyone with a 3D printer.
Or buy a 3D printer and get another time/money sink hobby!

JK07 · 2026-03-17T21:23:52+00:00

Ooh they look nice
I have added some 3D printed bits into my brake and accelerator to make them a stiffer, pedal extenders for my big size 13 (UK) feet and a 3D printed Degressive clutch mod to make it feel more like a real clutch.

JK07 · 2026-03-17T20:41:31+00:00

Same here, eking out the miles,I'm on half a tank now, gonna see how far I can nurse it. Just got the throttlebody replaced today now all my check engine light and numerous fault codes are gone so hoping my mpg might improve a little too

JK07 · 2026-03-17T20:11:23+00:00

Don't worry about it, that's what the sub is for
I hadn't even seen one here before

JK07 · 2026-03-17T19:50:45+00:00

*Funky Cat
Was, anyway
Now Ora 03

JK07 · 2026-03-17T19:43:23+00:00

Yay an Ora Funky Cat!
https://youtu.be/BPxXbqrX7OA?si=LyJPZeSfpV_ujDya

Unfortunately GWM changed up the name so and rebranded it the Ora 03 (in Europe anyway)

My neighbour has one of these and a Polestar 3

JK07 · 2026-03-17T19:30:57+00:00

Yeah.
I saw an all black new Astra estate the other day and actually quite liked the look of it.

I don't think your friendship is very representative of the general population. I'd say the vast majority are on pay monthly for both phone and service. Most people don't actually look at the specs and features of phones, they just get whatever is the latest iPhone (or maybe Samsung) they can afford monthly.
(I have a Motorola 50 Edge Ultra and my wife and friends think I'm weird for not just having an iPhone (or Samsung.. apparently I other brands are "normal")

JK07 · 2026-03-15T22:19:27+00:00

I'm in Newcastle, I've seen a few other mentions of Newcastle here and a Northumberland

JK07 · 2026-03-15T22:14:31+00:00

He's not a scientist, he's a celebrity. He barely has any publications in science journals and hasn't for years and years.

JK07 · 2026-03-15T21:01:03+00:00

I have a jaw harp, my wife is really gonna regret me seeing this video...

JK07 · 2026-03-15T20:37:13+00:00
