nice one. theres loads of monthly challenges too. im on for the 100 and 200km total run in january challenges... the 200 means i have to do 10k every run, 4 times a week for the month.. 😳 its just a nice little pusher to keep the momentum going.

@Aspman's old keyboard...

top comment on the page - Tank12345 14 h, 12 m ago 20 Just expect "While I was fitting your dash cam we noticed that your exhaust/tires/suspension/big end is on the way out and we can fix it for you for just £8000" brilliant not a help tbf, but as one otger guy said can always buy a better camera and use the wiring they do for you and sell their camera on ebay .

first time doing back to back 10k... cold and wet and miserable this morning, and deffo tired legs. by the 7.5k point my quads were really starting to burn. but i may get used to that if im going to complete the supersapiens challenge in january and get into the draw for some free gear! actually, @olduns may be interwated in the strava challenge too - cycling counts too.

well it was e-root posted the pics, not me but they look like a couple of the standard sets. but that ebay link does appear correct yep

no. 54 is a 9pt pointed star. yours is a 9pt flat topped. it isnt in those pics...

what a week... Wed - alarm went off and sound of torrential rain made me stay put.. Thur - i got 90mins sleep courtesy of junior , no way could i run. fri - christmas??? as if. sat - i needed the sleep sun - horrible weather and a broken nights sleep again! today... late start at 705, havnt been out since Tuesday, gonna be horrible... did a 10k. 10010m in 52m 1sec. i surprised myself! esp as i had to change my route a bit when i discovered the river walkway i use for 1 section was flooded from the rain the last few days. i also completed the strava Dec 100km running challenge on route - total for dec (so far) 106.5km not bad considering the weather breaks and post vasectomy break too. i missed the dec 4x4 challenge though (4weeks of 4 sessions min 30mins long) courtesy of too many storm condition breaks. ive signed on to the 7hrs in 14days challenge for January though. at my current pace it means running 8 10k's in a 14 day window to complete. ie 10kon every run.. i sense a hurricane jog in my near future 🤣

fair enough

yeah its compatible, but over priced in my opinion, and tied to their app. go on ebay and get an elm327 bt dongle for half the price and torque pro.

yes your car is obd2 compatible. im not sure what fixd is? if its a dongle like all the bluetooth ones out there, then check the spec on the device.

my friends response when i told him i had phone mount ordered...

@roblatus ive stolen your whirlpool galaxy shot and sent it to a friend of mine who is also into amateur astronomy. he helped point me in right size direction for santa

im already looking at Barlow lenses, camera adapters and possibly a clutched locking 3 axis mount to allow easier fine adjustment like a total station i got santa to go with this option as i figured it was better get a semi decent but not ridiculously expensive starter kit to hold attention better than a cheapy toy one that barely magnifies stuff in the garden... interest would vanish very quickly i think, whereas now he and i can have a proper go at a deeply interesting hobby

nowt as fancy as the OP but.. santa brought Spud sr a Celestron 70mm compact telescope and lego! nipped out the back earlier to see how the sky was, pretty clear so did a rapid set up. . photo taken with my mobile held as still as i could to the 10mm eye piece. spud may have another new hobby!

A dealer could give it to you from the VIN.

im starting to think i should just give up on the idea of an uninterrupted nights sleep for about 10yrs... anyway, dragged myself out at 745 and went. it was baltic damp icy cold. did an 41m36 8k then straight in the shower to warm up and desweat...

i think a 2.8l v6 furby would be great fun though

i awoke on Friday to the sound of lashing rain and driving wind 5 mins before my alarm goes off... i reset it and rolled over. obviously i couldnt run over the weekend while on RnR.... yeah right... so today i took it handy with an 8.4km sub 43min tester run. everything still intact, no untoward damage or pain so i think im good to go 10 tomorrow

well, i have a new full regulator Panel with cable sets ordered. mine is the front left door. go buy some rivnuts and m6 bolts next. then... start building up the courage to tackle it i have to say though, that rivetting the panel on has to be the stupidest way of doing that design?!?!

thanks. i didnt realise the panel acted as the regulator too!! godamn it 🤦‍♂️😅 i thought it was just a metal panel instead of the plastuc sheeting they used on the mk1 which, while terrible in one way, was a lot more accessible for working through (as long as you took the time to re-seal it properly) thanks for the links, they may be getting another sale added to their listing

i have to do this too at some point... did you use the rivnuts to put the door panel cover back on too? thats my main thing... i dont have a rivetter, and i dont feel like buying one for one job. that and i read somewhere here that the regulator rivet (i think) is a stainless steel one for the load it carries? maybe? its a while ago..

definitely not the skin on skin friction is also annoying...

oh my god the f#&$^g ITCHING!!!!!!!! its really starting to get a tad irritating.

as above the dash panel surrounding the port is stupidly tight. bit of trimming (possibly both the dashboard and the dongle) and it will, with persuading, go in.

there isnt an assist system its just a phrase im claiming i was actually helpful in fixing your car
