[Harry Metcalfe's Emira Update]

He's right, the Emira doesn't have a bad angle at all. 

I love that colour and spec and it would be my choice too, if only I could afford one! Maybe one day...

@Sparkythey will indeed win their case since it’s irrefutable given the criminal case.

however - they shouldn’t get too excited - since the payout will be greatly reduced due to it frankly being as a direct result of their actions.

I would encourage Adam to engage with the media as much as he can - he’s a chap whom comes across as a thoroughly decent chap - the media being behind him even more will increase the pressure on the civil suit. The judiciary simply cannot afford the wrong message to get out as the implications are far reaching indeed. The case absolutely has to be high profile and extensively covered.

It would be kinda funny if the crims get any money they receive taken away from them as it's considered gains from criminal activity.

On the other hand it could set a precedent - more scum will attempt more crime with the notion that if attacked at harmed in the process they will get a pay out either way. With the cost of living crisis more people are becoming desperate and turning to more illegal means and the policing and judiciary system at the moment just isn't worthy or capable to provide an adequate deterrent.

Porsche just gave the media a first look at the Maccan EV that will reach market in two years. It looks like a Maccan for now at least

 

My god, that looks horrendous. It's as if a Mini, a Fiat 500 and Nissan Juke had a threesome. 

They'll sell thousands.

[TLF Dark Mode]

I had to change back, the yellow on the black was a bit jarring!

[TLF Dark Mode]

Much prefer the darker theme but there are a few areas of text that become almost invisible, mainly the footer, 

[Random car and/or Lotus related pictures and videos]

This popped up on my youtube feed. Probably posted before but damn it's interesting!

The thought of that falling off would drive me up the wall.

[Nomination's for most awkward jobs on an Esprit]

For me it had to be removing the exhaust manifold with the engine in-situ. Replacing a fuel tank, water pump or timing belt are all a breeze compared to that job!

The one job I've found impossible so far is deciding to sell it.

Alright, own up! Who's hacked @C8RKH account?

But didn't you think it odd that the garage hadn't given you an MOT certificate for your records? 🤔

Or the absence of an MOT charge on the bill? 🤔

You'd think so right?! I was just happy the other work was done and the paperwork was all stapled together so a verbal confirmation was enough for me.

Learned a few lessons that day; always check the paperwork and that even main dealers can be a bit shit.

Bizarrely, the tax was renewed for a year on 1st May, 3 days before the MOT expired. It passed the previous 2 MOTs without so much as 1 advisory so I wouldn't have thought there would be any real problems this time around - maybe they've simply forgotten.

It does happen and sometimes it's no fault of the owner. For example my BMW (pure coincidence, honest!) was in for a service and MOT and at the paying and handing back part I asked if it had passed okay with no problems. The muppet with the suit on said it was all okay, so I paid and left. 6 months later when it came time to tax it I discovered it had no MOT, the imbeciles at the BMW main dealer didn't do the MOT at all. I had been driving up and down the country blissfully aware, until I wasn't.

Slammed cars always remind me of dogs who's hind legs have given up.

[Happy birthday TLF!]

It's a long way from the email system of yesteryear! And people said the forum format would never catch on.....

I agree, they are very nice biscuits  

[HM Queen Elizabeth II]

I'm not much of a royalist at all but I watched most of the ceremony yesterday and I believe no other country could put on such a display. The country should be proud despite some of the population's attempts are fubar'ing it.

The Lone Piper slowly fading away was so poignant and I think it nearly broke Charles.

 

[Most reliable and highest quality car brand is...]

[What made you UNHAPPY today!]

Decided to SORN my Esprit today having only been taxed a few months. I just wasn't getting the time to work on it or drive it with so much other stuff happening. 

[Smart meters]

Yes Barry, and they can switch you to prepayment mode if you decide not to pay your bill.

[Cost of living!]

Rumours are that it'll be 75p per kWh by January. 

[Am I the only one]

It's all in it's infancy right now, when the metaverse (god I hate that term) is fully adopted it'll become more relevant to people but not to old farts like us, perhaps not even to younger farts less than 30 years old.

You don't need to know how the microchips and electronics work in a mobile phone in order to use one.

Thanks for you help. As always your input is highly valued and gratefully accepted. Twat.

Have you replaced the internal rubber seal? I've a slightly used one going spare. 

[Am I the only one]

I'm very much pro-crypto and I've looked in to NFTs but they aren't for me at this current time. 

Maybe this will clarify what they are for some people:
