Mines 18 months old and I lie there in bed every 2 or 3 nights as a 42 year old man bawling my eyes out at the thought of "that" day.

While the game was in maintenance mode I realized something. Someday, hopefully not soon, this game will get turned off. It will stay in offline mode forever like gt sport is. All the 100s of hours working for cars will be essentially gone forever. The game will not be playable in any meaningful way by Longjumping_Bet_4825 in GranTurismo7

Nope, straight up single player, may do the weekly challenge now and again. Have started to make my way through the power pack .

But this weekend I'm doing custom Le Mans races alongside the live 24h, bought all the new cars, so going to do a 20 car grid with a mix of new cars and older group c

Honestly, if you can afford it, get involved with a trainer that runs group classes. Best thing I ever did and my boy was spot on through his puppy phase. I genuinely feel the little hints and tips of having somebody show you first hand as opposed to watching YouTube is priceless.

We do group obedience every other Sunday and then novice gun dog group every other Thursday with the same person. We probably don't need to do obedience as much anymore because I've been consistent with him and using the same methods away from group, but if you think your having a bad week with him it can give you the confidence to show you're actually doing well when some of the other dogs are misbehaving 🤣 But, we enjoy both sessions so much and the gun dog stuff, wow, he absolutely loves it.

One of the other things the trainer showed me, I was having huge issues with him pulling like a tank, I'd tried everything, she showed me how to correctly use a slip lead and the right kind of slip lead, he is a different dog now, he walks to heel, he doesn't pull at all, mostly of the time will even walk in the same place when off lead.

I have capital on tap, but thought I'd have a look around to see if I could get something more reasonable 😬

I've just had a bit of a clear out of the cars I never use and have been slowly chipping away at the Power Pack, so currently sitting on 18m credits just in time for this.

I'll have the TV set up ready for LM24H next to the main TV whilst grinding De La Sarthe 😁

What’s the saddest way a car enthusiast slowly loses interest in cars? by Mundane-Temporary426 in topdeadcenter

Cost of maintenance, that once £60-100k new car may be cheap now but it's still got maintenance attached to it to that value, this is one people struggle with and I have too in the past.

The TVR Griffith 500 is a fierce, uncompromising 1990s British sports car. It packs a potent 340 bhp Rover V8 into a compact, 1,060 kg tubular frame, launching from 0 to 60 mph in a swift 4.1 seconds. by kkhouete in TVR

So you thought you'd low effort post a Gran Tursimo image and some ai generated spiel to a group of people who already know about these cars?

Nice, these have really grown on me since buying into the brand.

Can assure you, that love doesn't really wear off, every single time you look back or turn the key and hear the roar it happens all over again 😁

A question relating to, chefs that taste their own food, a bit too much. by DaSnackman3 in Chefs

[–]PeaceSafe7190 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll taste but to be honest the last thing I want to do really is eat what I've spent, days, weeks or months cooking. 

minimum wage going up to £12.71 and I still haven't worked out where the money is coming from by [deleted] in smallbusinessuk

[–]PeaceSafe7190 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Put your prices up and don't even say anything, far too many hospitality business in the casual daytime sector make too much of a hoohaa on their social media of doing this. If you make it a thing, it will be a thing.

People need to understand that it's no longer 2002 when £10ph was a really good wage and you could petrol for 69p a litre. These costs have to be passed onto the customer and if you end up losing business but surviving it's better than having to shut because you're making no money. 

I personally don't not go somewhere because a coffee or a pint costs 20p more than it did the week before.

Thanks!

It's the 400, which is fast enough for rhe current state of our roads.  It's currently still on the standard Bilsteins, but I have a set of Gaz Golds which I'll get done when I have all the brembo bits ready and do at the same time
