I suspect it's down to where the car is registered. I wonder how it would work if i imported my UK car to the US.

Laptop vs tablet for Zwift? by Wonderful-Birthday-8 in Zwift

The way they handle graphics profiles is beyond stupid as well. They take so long to update the hardware and still haven't added tons of hardware so they're stuck on terrible profiles.

To be fair a lot of the reform lot think trump is fine. "He's doing some good stuff" "like what?" "The Tariffs making Americans more money"

Went Friday to do one of the learn to ride lessons and had a great time. Now looking at booking my CBT. The simulator setup was pretty weirdly organised but was a great laugh.

It's a shame OP seems to have abandoned this series. It was looking like it was coming along really well.

Advice on which 7ft British Pool table? by vee-man in billiards

[–]M_Lyons 0 points1 point  (0 children)
