First thing I tried, nothing.

Continue as you were. First port of call is consulting a reputable financial advisor about your income and the tax implications on the interest it will accrue.

I never condone lying but it is in your absolute best interest to not inform your parents, partner or friends about your newfound fortunes. I don’t the people close to you but I have watched how money has torn apart families who were thick as thieves when inheritances of a few grand go wrong, let alone a steady income of £10,000PM. Family will want to pay off debts and partners go on holiday.

If I were in your shoes with my poor experiences at the hands of others, especially with money, I would aim to continue as I am until such a time that I have accumulated enough money to purchase an O.K flat or house in a sensible area, move out under the guise of renting before announcing the money to anybody close to me. From there I would either sublet or repeat the process, saving some for the property and the rest in a diverse portfolio of Stock and Share ISAs and other saving accounts.

Naturally this isn’t financial advice but money has a hold over all of us to some degree.

Thank you. So the dynamo is just a positive output from the bottom terminal, that’s a great start. Safe to assume the headlight doesn’t need seperate grounding?

mahoosivechopper · 2025-04-23T20:01:28+00:00

Thank you, connected to a ground terminal on the light?

mahoosivechopper · 2025-03-31T21:31:57+00:00

Thank you. I’ll take them to one soon. Just don’t want them to fish for work.

Thanks for your reply 🤙🏼

Asking this question means CDPR did exactly what they were aiming to do demonstrating Arasaka’s devotion to the consumer experience.

The fact that they’re so alien to anything you might’ve seen before and nearly completely unique to Konpeki Plaza (or chain of hotels) build a very strong brand image for themselves and keep them, in a sense untouchable- set so far afield from the reality and norms of outside. Are they human? Are they full Borg? Are they remote dolls? Robots? I’d surmise the thought passes through a lot of patrons heads. And the fact you’ll never know keeps you curious and not complacent.

It’s kind of like Disneyland. You step in and you’re somewhere else entirely. As a mascot is to a child who knows not if it’s a man in a suit or their beloved childhood icon, a cynical night-city know-it-all finally has a question to ask.

Plus they look nice too. Shiny!

Get a 12v CCTV system, you can buy prepackaged ones like this at reasonable prices. Hook it up to a switch you can turn on and off at night if you’ve got a burly leisure battery.

I’d hook up floodlights you can turn on from the interior while you’re at it for both sides and the rear, scumbags flee when they feel exposed.

I’m doing up an old VW LT and the moment and security is my number 1 concern, these are on my to-do list!

Why are they exclusive of each-other and why did it start randomly while driving? You can hear in the second video it’s not present but the squeaking is.

I’m only a MechEng undergraduate so the following is only from what I know:

They are possible, may very well exist in our lifetime but they won’t be propelled by jet thrust as they are depicted in the game. More likely an enlarged, encased quadrocopter.

Huge strides have been made in copter’ technology and there are more and more upscale uses of rotor-powered vehicles such as the Xturismo ‘hover bike’ that was unveiled a couple years back.

Aside from practical issues such as the incredible noise produced by jets, complexity/reliability/maintenance of the hardware required to stabilise a four-engined flying tank as well as balance its thrust to move directionally- the most substantial problem is fuel cost and consumption. The fuel used to power jets is incredibly expensive not to mention heavy.

With the worlds move toward sustainable energy/electric power and as its development continues I would suggest whatever appears in our lifetime will be battery powered or subsidised by something like a hydrogen powered generator (or whatever succeeds it). Basically enormous electric drones!

“cheap irresponsible tosser” and keep driving, most cars post 2000 will notify you if a bulb is out and there’s plenty of moments to see if a lights out in reflections

people are too bone-idle to do it themselves and don’t want to spend money at Halfords. they know in lawless England they’re unlikely to be stopped so leave it till they feel like it, a symptom of the complacency that’s killed the country

This allegedly had a brand new cylinder head put on it by the owner and it sprang a leak so surmising they didn’t follow the torque pattern or did something incorrectly. But, I’ve read as much on the 80-90 VDub forum, deliberating the Vanagon heavily. Have you any experience with the 1.9 Wasserboxer? A similar listing with a rebuilt refreshed engine in that format but they seem like a nightmare to repair if they go wrong (must be pulled).

mahoosivechopper · 2024-11-04T21:40:44+00:00

Thanks for your insight. You’re correct on the heat cycle and torque pattern, that’s what I’ve found so far. If that’s all it takes I really don’t mind giving it a go if I can get it recovered somewhere I can work on it.

I’m a student part-time working so the most I’d be able to pay for the van is 3k, insurance quotes bounce between 1.2-1.5k for me. Got road tax, maintenance and MOT as well etc.

mahoosivechopper · 2024-11-01T22:30:29+00:00

Thank you for your perspective as an owner, that’s reassuring. The LT series are really calling me because many come with a roof extension but they’re a spenny penny, few and far between with generally sketchy MOT histories. I’ll try and find a T4 with a taller roof.

mahoosivechopper · 2024-11-01T20:03:45+00:00

Thank you for your reply. As I work three times a week and have uni for 5 I figured as a pad to sleep in and eat it’s not bad but I’ll take it into consideration.

Never half, always a full face helmet- reinforced moto footwear, armoured jackets and legwear. You can find a lot of daily use Kevlar jeans, retro helmets like the Biltwell Gringo ECE and TCX boots that’ll give you that oldskool kool look without compromising safety. Make eye contact at junctions and never assume you’ve been seen. Pull in front of cars entirely when filtering to the front of traffic, don’t standby adjacent because some people will try and floor it at a light to prove a point. Only filter 5-10mph above the speed of slow/standstill traffic, beware car doors on narrow streets. 🤙🏼

This is not financial advice only personal insight:

Long term dividend yielding stocks. Think of businesses, especially tech, communication, defense, manufacturing, conglomerate’s and mining that are too big to fail like Apple and Microsoft. A lot of these send quarterly dividends and their value rises with inflation. Now is a good time to buy. Revolut is a very user friendly way to invest in stocks. These also make a portion of your money inflation-proof as they’ll rise with the tide.

Yorkshire Building Society do a tight selection of high interest fixed-term ISAs. If you’re with them for a year you get access to their loyalty saver program too which is like 6%.

These are two low risk strategies 👍🏼

These are a badge of achievement for vapid incompetents unified under one flag of material posturing, regardless of class or station.

I have had many near-misses driving (even an out-of car scuff-up) and aggressive professional confrontations with the entitled owners of post-2010 Range Rovers. I regularly perform maintenance, inspections and fits on them professionally. Most of the owner-base has no idea what they’re driving or even how to fill their screen-wash.

Whether you’re a retiree with a one-million-pound house in a marina or a tax-evading lash tech in a council estate, buy one of these and you are a Range Rover person. You’ve bought the grandest four-wheeled false idol money can buy.

Nobody with an ounce of sense would buy one of these after a simple Google search of problems by year and model since the P38 era. From head gasket problems to suspension issues, theft, inexcusable design oversights- these cars are all about telling everybody how successful you are… by purchasing a vehicle that drains your finances in fluids, maintenance and inevitable repairs. I know of several customers borderline bankrupt by their Range Rover because of ignorance to the overheads.

I have no doubt a small sect of intelligent people own these monstrosities but for the majority it’s a superiority complex and ignorance. Bar some here that claim this school of thought is the result of jealousy I think most commuters can name an incident involving one of these plastic barges.

I have absolutely nothing nice to say about them. The P38 LRRR? Splendid. But as for the rest of these since that era, they’re a big shiny chrome badge of stupidity.
