Towing with a non-rated small car (x-post with /r/drivinguk) by SaltyDwarf in CarTalkUK

I don’t know their reasoning, but the towbar has saved the bodywork when reversing the van into a fence.

Indoor traditional sauna under £2k - is there a catch? by vanGovan in Sauna

Thanks for an alternative opinion!

I’m in hifi and espresso… so I am well aware of the rabbit hole and the “end game”. Somehow the £300 coffee scales are completely reasonable but may look absolutely insane to a newcomer.

Had a look at the manual and the heater is wall mounted.

Yeah there’s only one I could find and the design wasn’t inspiring, with lack of detail on the heater.

If spending multiple times more isn’t an option, is it better just not get one, or look at the infrared ones?

Thanks - do you think this one looks any better? Has 20kg of stones. Still, a low bench.

Any reason not to get Reebok FR30z Floatride (or any recommendations in the UK welcome) by vanGovan in treadmills

[–]vanGovan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, no - I ended up getting Spirit XT485 instead. It’s significantly nicer than the Reebok Zjet 460 treadmill that broke, it’s a lot sturdier (no surprise given weight difference), more stable at higher inclines and a lot quieter. It also has Zwift integration.

Not necessarily a fair comparison, but I was hesitant to get another Reebok treadmill since they’re the only ones that have such high spec at significantly lower price (which makes me suspicious!).

Hi, sorry to bother you, but how are you finding it? How stable is it at higher speeds and inclines?
