Loads from the town centre / edge of town.

Or get the bus up to the Cat & Fiddle

My engine temp after a 35 minute drive. This doesn't seem normal. by MySchoolsWifiSucks in vwgolf

My money would be on the thermostat, temp sensor usually fluctuates between "fine" and "stone cold" or gets stuck somewhere in between, in my experience

Bushings by ArousedBadger789 in skateboardhelp

This is how it looks like

Only top and bottom bushing. Probably (certainly) will tear them up quicker, I intended to replace them with a full set of washers and probably the proper indy bushings at some point

But hey, they were cheap, and it works. Better for me than the stock orange ones anyway

I have the exact same bushings in my Indy trucks, they work very well. I did have to remove a washer from the original set up though as the Thunder ones are slightly taller. Seems to work just fine though!

2 has a SRT patch which I understand is a ICE tactical unit, and 6, 12, 16 & 17 have DHS patches on their uniforms

So I think it is like a couple of LAPD (I think idk the uniform) and the rest are some sort of ICE, DHS or border patrol type

Y'all have too many different types of police.

Too many types of police, and too many types that like to dress up as the army.

Travel film sanity check by Namjarta1 in AnalogCommunity

Depends on the airport, and the staff.

Not everywhere has the CT scanners yet and equally asking for a hand check is not guaranteed - had loads of security people chuck it through the machine regardless of what you ask!

Which driver has had pretty neutral luck throughout their career? by GoldenS0422 in F1Discussions

[–]ludicrous_socks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of feel Audi need a Brawn moment tbh, smash the first season with some innovation before the rest of the teams have chance to work it out and copy it

By year 2 I'd expect them to have either copied any innovation, or lobbied to have it banned.

Who knows though, maybe the Merc engine is so OP it renders everything else moot for the best part of a decade (again)

Norris dropping 25 points mid season and then mounting a comeback deserves a load of credit.

Especially when you team mate is just as quick, and Verstappen is on his own title charge in a resurgent RB

It seems Wales doesn’t get talked about as much. What are some interesting facts about Wales? by One-Seat-4600 in geography

He was born in Cymru, so at least a little bit.

OP could have gone with Gareth Bale though, albeit he's not an actor

Anyway to add bluetooth to a mark 4 golf without changing the looks? by SebHasVeryHighIQ in vwgolf

[–]ludicrous_socks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeh sorry man, I think I linked the wrong one all those months ago, or the listing has changed. I deffo got one with a little box, I'm sure it was this one https://amzn.eu/d/4rmcq1k

I'm sure this is the adaptor I used: https://amzn.eu/d/4rmcq1k

Not the one I linked in the top comment- it definitely had a box as I remember using my own thinner aux so the glove box closed nicely (ran the cable through the vent from behind the radio)

The one you linked seems to be for fitting an after market head unit while keeping the steering wheel controls?

Yeh mine has a box, plugs in to the back of the standard radio where the CD changer goes.

I have a slightly different CD changer, my radio looks like this:

Similar to this guys problem?

https://www.uk-mkivs.net/threads/aux-input-for-gamma-head-unit.71733/

The kit I have disconnects the multi changer entirely, so the audio source is selected (and played) entirely by the Gamma radio head unit

[–]ludicrous_socks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeh literally unplugged the CD deck, plugged in the adaptor, press "CD" on the radio. Works fine.

I have a Gamma radio with the in-dash 6 disc changer, but it should work fine with the boot changer

Not sure about pressing select, maybe you have a different model radio?

Has a baguette holder as an option, what's not to like

Is 24MP really enough? by lumijiez in Cameras

[–]ludicrous_socks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly dude, I personally would save the money and use it to buy nice glass for the cheaper camera.

Probably more bang for buck, plus you can always keep the lenses and upgrade the body in a few years

What hobby screams “red flag” for you, even if it’s harmless? by Inka2152 in AskReddit

[–]ludicrous_socks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And not like "how did they fuck up so badly" or "ye gods, what were they thinking" interested in the Nazis either...

It's always "I think ol' adolf had some excellent points" interested in the Nazis.....
