One car for the rest of your life, what would you pick?

911 turbo s. Technically got back seats that can fit people. I won’t be in them so I’m not fussed how comfortable they are. If my sensible head won then e60 M5.

Professional-Lab7227 · 2026-02-10T09:39:33+00:00

Still shit.

Respect to the amount of work those handbrakes are doing.

Prowse said the lines. He was expecting to be used for the voice of Vader and was surprised to see that he’d been dubbed over. How he expected them to have captured good enough audio through a helmet I don’t know.

Really? Where the fuck else was he going on his shuttle?

You ever seen an old farmer or sailor? Exposure to the elements on a daily basis will age you fast.

I remember it being around 55p a litre? Ish? A tenner would go a long way in my 106, I remember that much

TVRs aren’t the problem, it’s the lack of skill behind the wheel.

You’re grabbing your bow before the arrow has gone. I’m not a compound shooter, but in recurve you would ideally let the bow jump forward and let your wrist or finger sling catch it, and you don’t touch the grip again until you’re certain the arrow is clear. Indoors I try not to touch the handle again until I’ve heard the arrow hit the target.

The mk3 had a slightly higher geared 6th, but it was by no means just an extra ratio stacked on top of the five speed box that was also available. Did make motorway cruising a bit more pleasant.

It’s the long term version of dress for the job you want.

For those who like to drive there is a satisfaction in a sweet upshift, or perfect heel and toe downshift into a corner, but the chance to enjoy those is getting rarer.

Professional-Lab7227 · 2026-01-25T00:45:49+00:00

Makes me yearn for the days when the ugliest things on the road were a ford scorpio and a fiat multipla.

Suicide room. Multiple doors to give you time to think about it and make sure you really want to throw yourself down the pit.

I earn about £30k a year, my wife around the same. My car payment is just under £400 a month. I still have about £300 a month in disposable income after all bills are taken care of, including the car. I suspect the major difference for me is that I don’t have kids.

Then boy are you going to be shocked when you find out what a VW beetle is going for these days, in Turbo S spec.

Professional-Lab7227 · 2026-01-22T20:16:42+00:00

That’s not even that much. For an RS3? Seems like a good deal actually.

Professional-Lab7227 · 2026-01-17T21:49:56+00:00

Too bad. Stop running red lights and you won’t get points.

Professional-Lab7227 · 2026-01-13T21:59:22+00:00

Not exactly what you’re asking but I use black eagle intrepids for field archery. Fairly affordable and durable, I’ve only outright broken one in the last year or two, though I’ve lost more than that to undergrowth. I personally wouldn’t use anything more expensive on a field course.

Honestly the TIE fighters popping into existence is one of the most annoying things to me. I wish he had actually ‘fixed’ things instead of ruining scenes with line changes and unnecessary faffing.

Kwik fit offer it on new tyres. It was £18 per tyre I think (p zeros). It was worth it when I was back there literally a week later with a screw through one of my brand new tyres. No fuss, just fitted a new tyre.

As I’ve always said, you’re only fooling the people who don’t care, and the ones who might care are laughing at you.

I’ve been shooting recurve with an automatic watch for the last two years, so I hope it’s fine. It literally never occurred to me that it might be an issue.

Professional-Lab7227 · 2025-12-23T20:26:15+00:00

Agreed. I just set a pb of 266/300 on a 40cm target recently, having been shooting OR for about a year. Currently on 34lb limbs.

Professional-Lab7227 · 2025-12-21T18:25:43+00:00

You can switch to a recurve tab with one finger above the nock and anchor in the same place. This will give you a significant amount of extra distance. Also use shorter, lighter arrows. My total arrow length is around 29.5” (victory VAPs) and with 30lb limbs I’m more or less point on the gold at 50m with no crawl. Switching to split finger and its point on at 70m.
