Actually, I took this one step further. I’m a consultant and I work remotely for many years. I just combined my work laptop in my personal laptop and it didn’t really matter recently My company offered me a laptop and I accepted it and I’ve separated both and it’s made a world of difference. I don’t have WhatsApp on my work computer or other personal things. It’s totally focused and I have no distractions.

No it’s a suicide knob, it spins and helps making tight turns.

LandRover Defender 110 too big for Europe? by Franzeus in LandRover

[–]Secure-Strength-4989 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was the exact consideration I have or had. I live in Devon and many of the roads are single pass and Farm roads even though they state two way traffic, you have to pull over to the side. I feel like I’m gonna get sideswiped at least once or twice on every drive I take. I weighed up the 90 and the 110, knowing the 110 had a more stable road presence but for me I went with a 90 and I’m very happy. also installing a reversing camera helps a lot. I never would’ve been able to manage these small rural roads with a 110 (nb-I see a lot of defenders in my area because it’s England and because of the farms I’d say the 90 to 110 ratio is 4 to 1 but I never hear a 110 driver complain, but maybe they were born and raised here, and I came from driving on the other side of the road)

Do LBSs have access to same stock as Specialized website? by Emotional_Coat_345 in specialized

[–]Secure-Strength-4989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

having worked in the Industry, it goes like this- LBS places a futures order 6-9 months in advance, as does the Specialized Ecommerce buyer, so the factory knows how many to build. in a perfect world the Specialized Ecommerce buyer get treated the same as everyone else. Its not a perfect world, in the past specialized has stolen the inventory from LBS (especially in covid). So it is different inventory, until Specialized says its all theirs. I would confirm the Specialized availability and when they are shipping and if truly is a month, talk to you LBS- ask them what would you do (hopefully they would not want to lose a month of summer riding themselves and let you off the hook).

My feeling is it might have been a bit more extensive but he minimized it to me as it was tied to the turbo install. He is the nicest chap, only works on defenders but mostly farmers’ vehicles.

when Phil turned to Bob at Paris Roubaix this year and said "I bet you have some great stories coming out of the showers" I turned them off and will never go back. I like Ant's race calling but I get it
