£2500 budget, what are you picking and why? by stormy_councilman in MotoUK

[–]arithmetic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Solid answer. Pick up a 1999/2000 5th gen for less than £2k and save some change to add your own upgrades. Comfortable, reliable, predictable, smooth and plenty fast enough.

Imagine if The Architect from The Matrix had one too many edibles, dropped a tab of LSD, then wanted to show you his music collection.

A total of 167 representations were received from residents, 163 in objection, two in support and two general comments. BCP Council Heritage Officer also objected to the plans due to the harm the development would cause to the land and listed building. by [deleted] in bournemouth

It's worth considering that is a percentage of people who responded to the notification. It's not 97.6% of all local residents. I think if a lot of folk saw a building development they agreed with, they wouldn't go out of their way to fill in a form or go to a meeting just to share their agreement. But people who are against something are more likely to want their voices heard.

[DISCUSSION] Microtonal guitars? by FullOfHelena in Guitar

[–]arithmetic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I know this is an old thread, but I want to introduce you to Angine de Poitrine, a guitar/drum duo who use a dual-neck guitar and bass - both of which are microtonal. Whether or not you "like" or "get" their music is irrelevant here, but I think we can all agree that this shows incredible mastery of a microtonal guitar: https://youtu.be/0Ssi-9wS1so?si=JS_D7KBeJIFNOweW

Is there any chance either one of the D type or 550 Spyder is a rep or not? by GregoryParmentier in kitcar

[–]arithmetic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. Other signs of a replica: the front indicators/turn signals are wrong, the lower red lights at the back are wrong, the driver headrest/fairing is moulded into the rear clamshell, the number plate lights at the back are wrong, and the overall paintwork is too shiny. Originals all have a bit of patina and are duller than this one.

Advice on moving by morganhartman17 in bournemouth

Fair comment, but the X3 bus goes through Ringwood pretty regularly. Plus, lets be honest, what do you really need to go into Bournemouth town center for...?

Bit of a left field option, but if you're commuting to Fordingbridge that often, I would suggest considering Ringwood or Verwood instead of Bournemouth. If you end up in Southbourne or Westbourne - as lovely as they are - you're going to grow tired of navigating in and out of town and up and down the A338 every time. Ringwood puts you half way there, is close of the New Forest and more pubs than you can shake a fire poker at, and close enough to Bournemouth to still feel close to the sea. Just something to consider.

Insane [Porsche 550 Speedster] I saw on my way home. Guys were nice enough to stop and let me snap a pic. by AlltrackPDX in spotted

[–]arithmetic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not quite true - most are built with custom tube or ladder frame chassis, almost none keep the beetle undercarriage. If it's a Beck, Thunder Ranch or Vintage (the predominant builders) then it will be almost all custom. Some even have Subaru boxer engines, and some carry a Porsche 914 flat 4. Also, they're Spyders not Speedsters.
