I agree. I had no idea that the Chinese EV market was so large, around 200 manufacturers at present. This video of the Beijing Auto Show came across my YT timeline and even if you don't have the...

I'm sorry but £1000 for a piece of plastic trim, remounting and recalibrating a sensor sounds like a lot to me, and highlights the point I made on page 1 about how owners are being bent over...
Exactly. All EV's should be just like this if the goal was to hit the green targets, but your experience with the car is bad news for Nissan, who I'm assuming, have made practically no profit on the...
I'm not anti-EV, but I do wonder where we're going with all this.
The focus seems to be on building bigger cars with more performance and tech, which is fine if we all live a lease/PCP utopia...
That's a good shout. I was looking for one of these when I bought my Hornet, but couldn't find one for the right money, so lost patience and went with the Hornet.
The styling of the Shiver (or the...
I own a Hornet 900 and find it to be a great all-rounder. It never really recovered from the panning it got by the media when it was released, as they were expecting a Fireblade without a fairing,...
Whenever this subject comes up I can't help but think of the 'Tipton Lampoc', a classic post (well, in my opinion anyway). Take a bow sir, this was truly great! :thumbsup:

Totally agree with the OP on this one. It's also not unknown for a watch to arrive months after an email exchange with no name, address, or covering letter. Thankfully I keep all my mails, but it's...
This is indeed sad news. I always found Bob's dial printing experiences interesting. There are a couple of his threads included in the 'Classic Posts' subforum, this one has details on his dial...
I've got a couple from Vorso (https://www.vorsospin.com/), a Flat Top and a Mk1 (best spin time is over 13 mins! :lemo:)

If a 600 Hornet appeals to you then you might also want to consider its bigger brother, the 900. With a de-tuned Fireblade engine (including fuel injection rather than the carbs on the 600) it has...
Good choice! Off the top of my head you could look for a Certina Town + Country, Camy Time Square, Zodiac SST, Roamer Searock, Favre-Leuba Sea Raider, Longines Ultra-Chron or a Zenith Respirator. The...
You may be right. I don't own an EV and I would be interested to hear more about charging rates, but the following info from the net suggests that charging an EV is the equivalent of boiling 1 kettle...
I'd say, enjoy that while it lasts. I suspect that when everyone is pressed into having a SMET2 smart meter installed as per the government plan, that will change. With usage automatically sent in...
I know there are a few Scubapro enthusiasts on here and vintage diver fans in general, so I thought you may be interested to know that the long fabled gold Scubapro 500 does actually exist.
There...
I'd recommend another BBC R4 classic, Count Arthur Strong's Radio Show. Available to stream or download here https://archive.org/details/CountArthurStrong

Yeah sorry, I was being a bit flippant there, I should have used an emoji. :eagerness:

It's an interesting development for sure and removing all the escapement is certainly a step further than many of the previous efforts.
I don't know why but these revolutionary systems rarely...
My thinking is that, in short, if you find yourself concerned about how people you've probably never met are treating each other on a forum full of people you've probably never met, you're probably...
Those cuffs can't have been up to much.... :worked_till_5am:
Talking of escaping, when I was living in Breda a woman escaped from the prison there by tunnelling out with a spoon.... Shawshank...
You're exactly right. It's certainly a bold move, but I wish them every success with it.

The use of just a logo on the dial is odd. If you see a picture of a watch that you like and it has no brand name on it, how exactly are you supposed to go about finding out anything about it? It...

I think McGregor will come out like a whirlwind and if he lands anything significant on Floyd within the first three rounds it could be interesting. However, if the ref is constantly involved and...
