    Goodwood Festival of Speed 2022

    It’s incredible how awesome BTCC used to be compared to now. I don’t like hondas but that makes me want to buy one.

    Reading the description of that tells me I'm definitely going to accidentally let it dry on my paint.

    Still making money. Paid for my garage bill this morning with money my computer dug up from the internet. Sounds mental to say it.

    I really, really hope it doesn’t need polishing. But cheers

    Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

    Treated the car with hydro2 foam the other day but because I’m an idiot, I didn’t dry the car and thought that several rinses and allowing it to dry overnight would be enough to stop it leaving a residue. As you can see, I am a fully qualified potato. Didn’t even realise until today because...

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    Err, my last two motherboards have been MSI ones, been fine. Cooling, Fractal fans are the tits but I have a Corsair all in one cooler for the CPU. Case, I can’t remember what ones but I know Gamer’s Nexus has approved of a few lately, and power supply, probably Corsair again tbh

    To do the insides you can get foam polishing cones that go on a battery drill, saves tonnes of effort

    Pressure washer recommendations?

    The god tier combination of crocs and socks? Don't hate me cause you ain't me Honestly that balcony was minging, I wasn't going to walk on it until I'd cleaned it with anything less.

    Pressure washer recommendations?

    First proper car clean with it. https://youtube.com/shorts/qG0eXJbtYgg?feature=share Used about 4 tanks if I remember right, had another probably 3/4 of a tank left in the hog at the end too, and I really wasn’t trying to conserve water (like f**k was I going to carry it back with me), but a...

    New Megane 2022

    It’s things like this that make me remember the description for Renault in the back of the old Top Gear magazines. ‘A state owned car company, Renault is quirky but occasionally suicidal’ or something like that. This, presumably, is the occasionally suicidal bit.

    The life of... SharkyUK's Trophy

    That’s a hell of an update. Hard to know what reaction to choose! Happiness because it got fixed with the help of some utter legends, sad because it broke, angry because of the wrong heater controls! I just hope the next update is ‘Yep, it’s fine, it works brilliantly, it’s beautiful, and I...

    Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

    First time. I’m not concerned about accurate, just not wildly wrong This is the bottle lol It just sucks up a bit with a venturi feed hence the 3:1 on the machine. I have seen videos of it making decent foam but I just want to get it right. Guess I’ll have to test though

    Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

    The detergent bottle is matched to the pressure washer (It's a Bosch Fontus battery powered one) and gives the dilution ratio for a particular setting on the pressure washer. It doesn't have any adjustment, it just has 'you turn your pressure washer on medium, it gives you 3:1, you work out the...

    Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

    Question. I now have a pressure washer to use at home so want to use a product I’ve had my eye on for a while - CarPro Hydrofoam. It’s my first time using a detergent bottle with a pressure washer, and the bottle for mine works on a (Bosch claim) 3:1 dilution ratio. Now Carpro recommend a 9:1...

    Sol 2.2 I think. Or Pure, whichever is newer.

    Assetto Corsa modding (PC)

    Holy update batman. Bolded some of the cooler bits - Massive improvement in VR performance, able to add radio stations to the android auto ingame, able to change wing angles on the fly, change controls without leaving the track, textures for puddles to form in drains, Aurora Borealis and so on.

    Hmm, Ilja did release a new version yesterday with a bunch of new stuff so worth updating anyway. And for that matter Peter Boese released a new version of Pure too. Look under Custom Shaders Patch>WeatherFX and see what weather controller is being used.

    What version number of Custom Shaders Patch is it showing in the ‘About’ tab? Also make sure automatic updating is disabled.

    The New Phone Thread

    Sounds like a power management circuit/unplugged battery kind of deal, if plugging it in doesn’t power it up. I’ve had phones with all sorts of problems/hangs but plugging it in always got it to fire up. So probably yes if you don’t fancy fiddling with it.

    Pressure washer recommendations?

    She chooches quite nicely actually. Obviously not as powerful as a proper power washer but plenty enough power for what I need. One tank did half my balcony and it’s still on 3 bars of battery so that’s a win. https://youtube.com/shorts/1m5iJWeSPQA?feature=share

    Standard CS, I’ve just bought a Bosch Fontus instead. Looking at videos it should be enough for my needs, should make my life significantly easier. Price here was actually pretty decent, cheaper than elsewhere definitely...

    Nice MoT history on this one

    My bad then. Wonder how the tester knew one was missing then?

    Nice MoT history on this one

    My 1.2 had no ABS and all it ever did was lock the rears. Made panic braking interesting, no wonder they disconnected it on the cup.

    Nice MoT history on this one

    I thought they all had one still, but the 172 cup (infamously) had it disconnected. The 1.2 MrsGherkin had for a while had one and that had ABS.
