    F1 2023!!!

    I'm not. I'm actually rooting for him and Mercedes. I can do that while also wishing he wasn't being such an entitled primadonna.

    Oh for fuck sake, so now he can get a doctors note and pick and choose which rules apply to him? Ban him from racing until he obeys the rules, like everyone else!
  3. And the UK spec models were nearer to GZ in spec.
  4. Hah I just asked the same thing in another thread and then saw this. Very suspect looking at all their posts.
  5. Are the moderators running a Chat GPT bot on this forum?
  6. Rob Siddle on the left there.

    20 years!

    Looks amazing!
  8. Yeah I thought this was very specifically not allowed. Can't risk feeding back power from the house onto the grid in the event of outages. I certainly couldn't find any systems with this functionality a couple of years or so ago when I was looking into it.
  9. Ooof, love the Celica, but that R34 is a keeper!
  10. Are you running a large scale cannabis farm? Those lights must use a lot of electricity.
  11. Our heating is set to 15 over night, 21 during the day. We have a Tado thermostat and switches off if I leave the house automatically. If it produces heat, or cools, it uses a lot of electricity (so heaters, freezers, etc.). Don't worry too much about other devices on standby, anything in the last decade or so won't use very much just on standby. You're probably talking a couple of quid a year. There's been a lot of scaremongering articles lately about electricity usage on stand-by, but they get the figures wrong by a factor of 10 or more. Devices will use a few more watts if they maintain a network connection to check for updates etc. (Games consoles, smart TV's etc.) but it's not a lot, and there should be options to turn that off. Replaced the seals on our Windows last year, that made a big difference to heating, they were quite drafty! Our combined bill just went up to £175 a month, two bedroom house, two fish tanks, two freezers, two home servers, lots of smart home devices on all the time.
  12. November 2000 I think I purchased mine. I remember the old email groups before the forum.

    Power banks

    I have a couple of different power banks and chargers from Anker.

    Hello again

    Yeah still got Darwin, he's 9 now, getting a bit wobbly on his back legs but still charging around. Still in South Leeds, still enjoying my E92 M3.

    Hello again

    Now then fella! Remember bumping into you at Newmiller a few years back, and you said the car had been in the garage for a few years then! Glad to hear it still sounding awesome! Hope you're well sir.

    Hello all!

    There's a name I remember. Hey Blackie. I sold my Supra about 8 years ago now I think. Still lurk from time to time.
  17. Saw the update photos on Facebook. Looks amazing!
  18. It's a fair improvement on the first pictures of the car!
  19. Your user name is apt, that's an old dinosaur of a turbo.
  20. This is getting stupid, might as well just make the whole track a DRS zone.
  21. E92 here. Maintenance costs haven't been bad. I've had throttle actuators go, but now they've been replaced should last the life of the car. Rod bearing issues are largely overstated, but is an issue if the car has been ragged when not warmed up. It's an easy check and preventative maintenance replace if you're concerned. Other than that general expected stuff, discs and pads, front drop links, all reasonably cheap really. I get around 20mpg, which is around the same I was getting in the Supra. I still find it a really nice car to drive, doesn't have the low down torque of the Supra, but rev it out and it just grips and goes. Still have no intentions of getting rid of it. There are indications prices are on the up for them, so get one now.
  22. Same here, keep thinking I'd like to get back into it and see what's changed, but seldom have the time. I even have a HOTAS setup for it.
  23. I third it. Great fun on a drag strip, but my god they're a pain in traffic.
