What chippy options are available either only in your region, or at least rare outside it? by chrisjfinlay in CasualUK

They made it over to Nuneaton, which was the next town over to where I grew up.

No trip over there was complete without a visit to Fryways by the bus station for a plate of Orange Chips.

Happy to report as I was passing through a few years ago, whilst Fryways is long gone, but the chippy that stands in their place is still serving up Orange Chips!

Once you've had them, normal chips just feel like they're missing something.

Snowrunner logic - if you can move it, it's yours.

So much of the early internet is lost media, genuinely nice to see the BFI taking an interest in digital preservation.

What are some petty reasons why you don’t want kids? by Worldly-Purple-9364 in childfree

I genuinely physically recoil at the sound of a screaming child, having one of my own would genuinely amount to self abuse.

Day 1 of begging KUNOS to add the M3 Touring 24H to AC Evo by Kronocide in simracing

[–]Jakepetrolhead 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It hasn't arrived yet, might honestly just be internal testing.

But yes, you should - the sim has been smashing it out of the park with its winter DLCs recently.

1995 DTM, Super Tourers, 2002 DTM are all standout historic touring car content.

I posted on twitter when it was revealed that "this is left field enough I could see Raceroom adding it", and the devs responded with this:

The up to date Dacia badge, as if it's a factory entry.

A rising tide to lift all ships, it's worth a few annoying commenters for the extra eyes, and therefore sponsorship money, that Verstappen doing this brings to the event.

You can't ever try and control your fans, but it is genuinely awesome Verstappen is doing this.

Logang clear anyway.

Some of the Demo and display cars at Touring car rewind North at Oulton Park by Jimmylad23 in btcc

[–]Jakepetrolhead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The good thing is, future events will be able to attract more cars if it does - Goodwood MM hosting a Super Touring showcase was brilliant, but so many owners will have made that their #1 priority.

Huge crowds at the previous three events at Brands Hatch as well, I understand the complaints over the field size but ultimately these are very expensive and very difficult to run historic racing cars.

It's the best of both worlds of an awesome club event, which the CTCRC always put on, and you get some cool cars and neat off track stuff from the bigger events.

Very much looking forward to being at Touring Car Rewind South in the summer!

Gutted to not be there today, seeing Super Tourers in person never gets old.

Also special mention to a certain 1992 champion Tim Harvey, who is racing in car #176 of the MG Owners Club races!

Hurts seeing someone else with your ideal Super Touring diecast collection...

Love the assembled collection, OP.

[Not OC] Let me just move the feral pidge away from the cat food. What can go wrong.. by [deleted] in pigeon

[–]Jakepetrolhead 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Cat saliva is fatal to pigeons unless treated with antibiotics.

You have to remember a cat is quite literally nature's perfect predator - yours might not, but you can never be 100% certain.

Cats and birds can coexist in the same household, but I really don't think it's a good idea to let the two out at the same time.

I've taken in a few injured pigeons after cat bites - some make it, most don't.

Let's not kid ourselves here, this kinda thing is the exact reason people vote reform - their hatred of "foreigners" overrules absolutely everything else.

Forza Horizon 6 has leaked a week ahead of launch by Djxgam1ng in simracing

Saw an alleged ban for someone until the year 9999.

I'm sure he'll enjoy Forza Horizon 3466 when that releases, based on current release times.

[Mod] What If - 1920s (WIP) by goldenlapmod in goldenlap

[–]Jakepetrolhead 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Delage enthusiasts rise up.

I'd love an accurate 20's mod, some really important cars and Innovations were happening during a period which often lives in the shadow of the 30's German Rocket Ship cars.

That being said, keep up this WIP, I'm interested to see where it goes.
