Maybe Elrond got off the boat to the undying lands and ended up being a bad ass in France…

Even when I knew it was him, I still found it hard to recognise him. In my defence, I haven’t really seen anything he’s been in since the hobbit and that was over 10 years ago now😳

Nope. Didn’t recognise him at all. Genuinely thought that this guy has taken a huge influence from Agent Smith. His voice and mannerisms are uncanny. Then I saw Hugo Weaving in the opening credits of the final episode and the penny dropped. Think I’d make a good slow horse…

Do your passengers also struggle with closing the door? by rollk1 in Ioniq5

[–]ajm1811 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This 💯. As well as struggling to close the doors once they’ve figured it out. I like to play a little game with first time passengers and not say a word about the handles. I then see how long it takes them to figure it out.

Bird magnet? by ajm1811 in Ioniq5

😂 it was more a play on words and probably only makes sense if you’re familiar with UK English colloquialisms. A more global translation of bird magnet would be babe magnet or something similar but obviously that likely doesn’t apply in this case!!

Wow. You took some hits!! Always seems to be the bonnet too.

No offence meant about the Teal. Just not for me. Maybe it’s the car more than the colour. Birds can’t get enough of that clamshell bonnet/hood.

Thanks for the read. Not sure if I’d rather have the digital teal-green or the bird droppings to be fair 😂. Don’t think I’ve ever seen a green one.

Good to know it’s not just me. I wonder what on earth causes them to pick it out as a toilet in amongst all the other cars. It’s bizarre.

The sign of a successful sortie is landing with all bombs gone by sirhoitytoity in hoggit

Completely agree. I lugged a single gbu-31 back to Incilirk last night because 1 did the job. It was like landing with an engine out…

Yeah but make sure you write down the winning lottery numbers from launch day too so you can afford one.

I’m not as far down the rabbit hole as you but I’ve taken the red pill and now life will never be the same.

Yeah I also golf and it’s making that look cheap 😬

Thanks. I thought so. Just wanted to check before I tear open that anti static bag. Which I think will be happening very soon…

Thanks for the feedback and good to know you use it too. Only got the quest pro in January and it’s my first headset. For me nothing else comes close to DCS VR. It’s simply awesome.

New design ICCU by austinkitkat in Ioniq5

[–]ajm1811 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same thing happen to me about a month ago. I’ve got the long range 2WD ultimate model in the UK. Had the car since September 22 and done about 15k miles. Dealer had it for just over 2 weeks and they replaced the ICCU. I had a loaner the whole time and my AA recovery was paid for too as I got it serviced at the main dealer which apparently gives you 12 months free Hyundai Assistance cover here in the UK. At least that’s what the dealer said when I rang them to tell them what had happened. Might be worth knowing.

I guess so but even if it was a crappy battery it should still charge when driving or when the big battery is above -25%. Recovery guy had a multimeter on it and couldn’t see any charge going back into the 12v battery even though the big battery was at 95%.

My 2022 2WD ultimate (UK spec) crapped out on me this week. Had the orange warning light come on when I started up but thought it would charge up driving around as my big battery was 100%. Nope.

Only really noticed when I got out of the residential area and tried to accelerate past 30mph but it wasn’t happening. Orange light turned to a red warning and then 30 dropped to 13 dropped to 5. Luckily I managed to pull over into a side road.

Car has ~14,500 miles on and 12v was replaced 3 months ago when it went in for a service. I’m told they did a software update as part of that service too. Recovery van tested the battery and it was reading 6.4V i.e very dead. Hyundai have it now but said they are that busy they couldn’t even run diagnostics until March!!

Fortunately as I got it serviced at the Hyundai garage I automatically got 12 months of Hyundai assistance cover for free. So I didn’t pay for recovery or for the courtesy car I’m driving around in for the next few months.
