  1. well that makes sense doesnt it?
  2. that Allroad you saw being dropped into the grass isnt surprising, old A4s and and passats dragging their sills around the road are common here too. i reckon the roaring exhaust noise is actually the car screaming from the pain of dragging their undertrays along the road, and the diesel soot is it metaphorically coughing up blood. jettas are also common place, i saw one the other day dropped so low and wheels so big the owner had cut notches out of the wheel arches to stop the tyres rubbing... i dont mind cars being modded, but christ do it tastefully and make it worthwhile. its almost a shame though that these cars are now within the budget of young lads with no taste and wanting to look cool with a filthy agri spec saloon...
  3. thats because Russia lied about what it is - claiming hyper sonic cruise missile when its just ballistic thus easy to track and predict. like so much of Russias claims... SU57 is about as stealthy as a C130 (exaggeration for effect) but they bill it as more capable than an F22. and they only have like 10 of them so thell never see an actual mission. Lasers are have too many uncontrolable factors that reduce their effectiveness at the ranges air combat take place. But I agree drones and the AI wingman drones being developed alongside the NGAD programme are going to be massive capability shifts.
  4. went up the woods this afternoon, boys in jumpers, missus mac with her lagging jacket coat, me in a t shirt.. but yesterday felt like minus 5 but allegedly 12deg... got hail on monday and Wednesday!
  5. no, its the cover on the pdel can slide up and get stuck under the bottom of the footwell trim panel. it also cant drive on sand or gravel, or any offroad stuff, the locking diffs menu says "coming soon with software update" someone else washed down theirs after exposing it to sand as required to stop the unlacquered steel rusting and their entire dash display stopped working. the tail gate will happily cut your fingers off if in the opening when closing as it has no obstruction sensor. someone else's arrived with scratched body panels and with damage to the dash panel, so tesla took it in for a few days to replace it and fix the scratches. couldnt fix the scratches as the tesla equipment wasnt capable of sorting them out. the new dash is dented and rattles and theres new damage done to other parts from where they tried to replace said dash. that yoke is actually worse than a Delorian
  6. well im gonna get myself checked in at the hotel (aka Hospital) and see what they have on draught (IV line)... do an over night and then cry for 2 hrs as i drive home without the use of my arms, legs or lungs
  7. i think ive gone insane... and feel i gave in to some peer pressure that i created in my own head ... what is the hyrox you ask? just some self inflicted torture and suffering https://hyrox.com/the-fitness-race/
  8. apparently Leslie Nielson had almost no sense of humour, which was why he was able to stay so straight and serious filming all of those types of pun and satire based films. he just didnt get the humour, but that makes them so much better as it makes everything seem almost normal
  9. @cheezemonkhai i think this could do with a relocation to the Roadside hotel? feels like it would be better suited there. as to whats different? okay... Ukraine has been invaded by a nuclear power with a do trine thats states they may use nuclear force if attacked on home soil by any nation, but in particular NATO. thus, a proxy war is a safer - who knows what Putin could do if he really did feel threatened- and cheaper option for "The West" to break the Russian military strength. thus the UK/US et al wont take any direct actions against Russia. The UK/US effectively created the state of Israel and keep the region on a knife edge of instability because its good for business. therefore they will defend Israel to the end. especially against Iran because of the revolution there back in the 70s that kicked them out and removed the US influence on their policies. so, as a result strikes on Iranian targets are fine, because its only iran - nuclear ambitions but guaranteed the US/UK know exactly what they have and what they can do, so the risk is much lower. and when its in defence of Israel, of course they will take whatever action they need to in order to protect their special little project..
  10. Hi, Im not even in the same country, but Im quite sure if you do a little search in here you dont need vagcom or vcds to programme a new key for the mk1, if you have 1 good key already. from memory, put the good key in and the ignition on, open the drivers window. put the new key in the outside of the drivers door and lock/ unlock the doors. i think you have to hold it in position for a length of of time that i cant remember, and might be another step, but its easy enough to do.
