Your missing my point.
Yes it’s about control. But not about regaining it just now. We still have the biggest and best pay TV service in Europe.
It’s about the future. This type of service is coming and if we don’t do it. Sky will just be another content app alongside another 100 apps with...
I expected IP / cloud from SkyQ as well. When it came out in 2016 it felt like a bit of a let down initially. It’s been developed over time to a very good product.
I think the biggest issue back then would be the reliable HD streaming. Especially live sport / event TV. We are now at the right...
I understand that point of view. You have to understand the competition and near term landscape. Most of the benefits of doing it this way is for the content provider and not the user right now. But the user experience is in different league.
Look at the US tv market. 50% of new TVs are made...
Yeah. Live tv, record (but now cloud storage) app integration with Netflix, Disney+, Discovery+ etc. Content recommendations.
In future (2022) video calling, family games (Xbox engine built in) and home fitness.

That was the start of the IP project. We have struggled with about 4m headroom that can’t have a dish since 1989.
But it’s been changed from just another box with no dish to a totally new platform. Upgradable over time.
It should change sky from a content and subscription tv business to a...
Yeah you should stick to a dish. This will have a 10mb minimum.
But you will one day have 500mb fibre. By 2030 if the estimates are right.
Don’t believe me. Ask yourself if you could see you getting 2mb internet 20 years ago. [emoji23]

Technically you can get it from £13 a month. The contract is for the TV. Sky subs will change to a rolling 31 day contract so you could cancel sky viewing and still use the TV. But why would you.
As for sky inventing the smart TV. Kind of. But kind of missing the point. There are two big...
Wondering what people’s thoughts are on this and also happy to answer any questions.
I make no secret. I work for sky and have done for almost 16 years. They are a fantastic company to work for and have some really brilliant products.
Ive been aware of this product for about a year but not...
Aye but if your girlfriend went off the rails a bit before you met her. Maybe had a crack habit or something. You would be interested in the details of how she put it right.
If she just said I used to have a crack habit and it’s none of your business. Then I’d be pretty worried she was hiding...
Maybe leave the photos out but I wouldn’t hide any work done. Knowing someone has put some money into improving a car and maybe sorted out some common issues is a good selling point. Write it in the ad and some really interested people will take note.

I think the silver wheel comments were genuine as well to be fair.
And if you were doing it properly you would plate any rusty brackets.

How much of a rebuild are you talking and are you doing any / all of it yourself?
Split them into three and starting adding up the parts / machining costs.
Top end / cylinder head
Valve guide? Valves? Valve seats recut? Any porting work? Are the Cams ok or do you want to change them?
Bottom...
I was always interested in it as well. Then it gets even better when you start making setup changes and testing the handling differences.

It’s very nice. He wants to lose a load of weight to make him more competitive in class D in SLS but still keeping it suitable for road class in the hillclimbs.
Should be interesting

These are the turntables I bought.

The string kit is a Ti Motorsport one.

I would happily live up there.
Toilet, kettle, microwave, broadband and a TV.
As well as all the car stuff. It’s been a proper sanctuary during the last 18 months.
And it’s 5 minutes walk / drive round the corner from my house.

Toe adjustments are really great for altering a cars performance. It’s the last thing you adjust and doesn’t impact on castor or camber. So if you wanted to adjust for a bit more toe out and see how it behaves you can do that. And it’s fairly easy to put it back as well.
Just for reference...
Some paying customers.
Meg 250. Forged engine with over 300bhp. Now running with 2.5 deg camber. 6 deg castor and 1.5mm toe out.
Clio 182. Basic setup with equal max on the camber bolts all you can really do. 1.5mm toe out as well. This car is now for sale I believe.

I’ve been doing this for over a year now. Starting on my own car for hillclimbs to learn and practice on.
I thought I would share some photos and experience.
Starting with some online reading some copper pipe and a ball of string.
Done Dave Joyce’s clio using the same method.
I then...
