are you talking about the credit card type hotel keys? Not enough magnetism in them to worry anything and nor more than a typical credit card (TBH I'm still getting whiffs of 3 replacement fobs & stolen cars)

Which part of the world were you on holiday in that they were renting out a 10 year old car and what do you mean " you believe was an ignition key" ?? How many years driving experience do you have? FYI as far as I know a 2014 Fabia will have a standard VAG group 3 button key fob with a flip out blade. (Why am I getting shades of stolen Ozzy skoda here???)

There were various arguments for the change: All neighbouring countries drive on the right, including Norway and Finland, with which Sweden shares land borders, with five million vehicles crossing annually.[4] More than 90 percent of Swedes drove left-hand drive vehicles,[4] and this led to many head-on collisions when passing on narrow two-lane highways.[5] City buses were among the very few vehicles that conformed to the normal opposite-steering wheel rule, being right-hand drive (RHD).[6] However, the change was unpopular; in a 1955 referendum, 83 percent voted to keep driving on the left. Nevertheless, the Riksdag approved Prime Minister Tage Erlander's proposal on 10 May 1963 of right-hand traffic beginning in 1967, as the number of cars on the road tripled from 500,000 to 1.5 million and was expected to reach 2.8 million by 1975.[7] The Swedish Commission for the Introduction of Right-Hand Driving (Statens högertrafikkommission, HTK) was established to oversee the change.[8] It also began implementing a four-year education programme on the advice of psychologists https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dagen_H

meets the thread title requirements and enough change to buy something a bit different

what about smokeless fuel? 🤪

Finally, a good looking cyber truck. Those fake vents on the rear on the wrap just finish it off

BMW Australia has recalled 26,491 examples of certain BMW, Mini and Alpina models sold between 2022 and 2024, citing a potential fault with the braking system. The affected vehicles are stamped 2022 to 2024 models. BMW Australia has confirmed it temporarily paused deliveries of new vehicles while a software fix was developed, which has now been released to dealers. The recall notice, lodged with the Department of Infrastructure, says: "Due to a manufacturing defect, signal interference may occur within the electronics of the brake system. If the fault occurs, a higher pedal force may be required for braking. The anti-lock braking system and dynamic stability control will also not be available. https://www.drive.com.au/news/bmw-and-mini-recall-26000-vehicles-in-australia-due-to-braking-concern-stop-sale-lifted/ NB cant find a recall for Mirrors though ;o)

/me waits for the first person to post tinfoil Geoffs video on the Rivian factory fire

easiest way is mail [email protected] with your registration number and VIN They'll probably get back to you on a few days, they did with me

I wonder if there's a way for defunct nuclear subs to be converted to produce energy for feeding back into the National Grid??

It's ok Noah , it was just climate change

I'm doomed. I use gas for cooking and heating. I've also got a log burner we use occasionally Wonder if there's any steps I could take to mitigate the build up of pollutants whilst frying bacon in the mornings? If only I had some sort of hood with an electric fan for example.....................

call me a cynical , bitter , twisted old barsteward but doesn't the highlighted phrase simply translate as " we've paid VAG some money so they don't sue us" ?

and also where you live, whether or not you have any driving convictions, whether you are male/female, how old you are so many variables when it comes to insurance that averages are meaningless

Whereas when she was 10 years old in 1932 she would have had life expectancy then of a further 58.87 years

Based on the tables at the link below I would say that a woman who was 60 in 1982 (ie born in 1922) would have been expected to live an additional 20.89 years https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/lifeexpectancies/bulletins/englishlifetablesno17/2015-09-01

there's some excellent explanations from the Office of National Statistics on how life expectancy rates are calculated if anyone's interested https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/lifeexpectancies/methodologies/periodandcohortlifeexpectancyexplained Nb looking at the life tables life expectancy at age 65 years in the UK (as a whole) in 2020 to 2022 (latest available) was 18.3 years for males (ie someone aged 65 in 2020/2022 could expect to live to 83.5) and 20.8 years for females (or 85.8)

I suspect there is more to this story than meets the eye. "In this instance, the back alley is not owned by Bolton at Home so we would not be able to permit the use of vehicle charging in this location." Errm if it isn't owned by them they can neither permit nor deny surely? https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/news/24528708.bolton-home-man-denied-hybrid-vehicle-due-not-driveway/

Oh completely agree, I was simply clarifying the differences

Yes but that's a sleeper train which isn't a totally representative Price is it as it includes the "sleeper" element. The "base price for travel from London to Penzance by train is closer to £80 (which granted is still up there but is nowhere near the cost of having a cabin) and look at all those CO2 savings you can brag about to your green friends ;o) Meanwhile a National Express ticket for the same date/time is I do of course concur that the same journey by car would be cheaper especially if multiple people travelling presuming a petrol car at 40mpg thats 7.6 gallons/28.8 litres which at average london prices (£1.42/litre) is £40.90 (presuming fastest route taken) so actually the National Express price for an individual travelling is quite competitive plus you get driven

but not the USA lol

Well that sucks and is one hell of a downgrade

I’m sorry but sunshine is not renewable once a photon has left the sun and commenced its journey to who knows where (maybe a solar panel) it can’t be renewed. It can be replaced by another photon but that’s a different photon.
