I’m not as talented as @mace¬ to use MS paint

I’ve just bought a nice-ish camera and not sure what software to use to edit the pictures. I only want to be doing basic editing of things like light levels and colours and not like full on photoshopping. Any suggestions? I’m sure I’ve used Light Room in the past? I’ve got a MacBook Air as my...

Exactly this. I studied physics at uni, then nuclear physics as a masters (I was told to be a real person and get a job and not do a PhD by my mum) but I haven’t done any physics for a long time, probably since 2016 when I left my fist job which was as a scientist. I used to be able to know some...

The woman I work with is on her second can of Monster before lunch. We always have sweets in the office too, like the big cash and carry size tubs. We also hide them in our room as not everyone is allowed in there. Watching their faces as we go back to the other room with hand fulls of nice...

What’s the point in having a student if they won’t make tea or coffee for you?! It’s basically slave labour…. They sound like a fun bunch of people that have been shielded from life. I think I may have lost my job if I had to work with them.

I was a grad once, I want to say I wasn’t useless. But finding a non useless grad is impossible. I did a year in industry before going to uni and then worked there every summer at uni so I had some form of working experience. @botfch how did the placement student expect to make the tea and...

Or when you get asked to look at CVs, recommend they don’t get through but the recruiter says “yeah we will have them”….but I found out they left their first grad scheme less than a year as it turns out they were let go due to performance problems and you want to employ them? Ok then. Half the...

Can confirm the baby is not coming with us! Haha. It will be just the two of us for this as you say want to do the things like that and make the most of it. Need to take a proper look at it but thinking 2026 sometime for it. We just wanted to know what was available for excursions to see what...

This looks amazing. Might have to pick your brains on this as we are wanting to do the same for our honeymoon. We got a P&O brochure to see what it was all about but couldn’t work it out as all that gave was a deck plan of the boats! We are wanting to do it in the winter when it’s more snowy but...

I’ve used the stuff in the past on several cars and parts and always came up good. Just couldn’t remember how far the small bottle went.

I want to get some GTechniq C4 to make the black platsics on the Defender back to black again. No idea how much I will need as I can't remember how far the 15ml bottle went the last time I had it. Need to cover the front light surrounds, grill and wing mirrors as a minimum. If it will cover the...

I remember when I did my Ph1 ITB conversion there was a bit of re-wiring in the ECU plug. I was using a GEN90 ECU though which apparently are for Ph2. All you need to do is swap a few wires around in the plug. A lot of it is detailed in my old project thread or HERE I assume as the ECU you are...

Reducing the collection, free up some time and money for the other cars I own. I won’t be buying your Ph1 sorry, I have a problem but not that much of one to need another that quickly!

This has now been sold and was collected earlier. Just a matter of time before I ruin my life again with another Ph1

I will try and keep the red barge out the way as I’m sure I won’t be the fastest in it. I’m looking forward to be able to drive it faster and harder than I can/allowed on the roads. Ironically it is the most powerful car I own…from new….210bhp back in 1989. Tempted to get a set of better brake...

I’ve used Gtechniq C5 and Gyeon Rim before. Both very good. The Gyeon stuff was meant to be rated to a higher temperature so I had the stuff in track wheels. I used the C5 stuff off a set of winter wheels this year and held up really well in the crap weather.

I think I used at least three cans of colour and two lacquer.

I rattle can’d the bumper on my Ph1. Does it look better than it did - yes. Could it be better without a proper respray - no. Do I regret doing it - no. I only did it as the whole bumper was like flat and faded and no amount of polish was going to get it back. Did a few coats of plastic...

I've used the stuff in the past, very happy with the results. As Clio_fool has shown and said it is a lot better than leaving it untreated. I also went over it with a DA polisher and that helped. Another trick I have used is just get some paint mixed up as an aerosol and apply in the same way...

Join the club. I’ll be in the big red barge and it might have more power out the factory than a 182 I have a feeling it will be the slowest thing out there!

Got a morning track session booked. Will be bringing the E34 for this. Also next year target of getting the Clio fixed

I remember having to do this back in 2020 when it all kicked off for all our code base and repositories. Couldn’t have slave, master, black lists, white lists. Still have some of the words kicking about which is apparently ok now. And in a previous job we were the Image Analysis team so...

Ran out of wheel cleaner. Found some Autoglym Clean Wheels in the shed. Actually not that bad! Sprayed on, waited, jet washed off and all the dirt had collected nicely to be washed off. Granted the wheels have been coated in C5 and it was only light dirt but I was impressed for something found...

I work in a part of defence as a software engineer/tech lead and I would say it’s the safest job ever, to the extent where I think if I were made redundant at 9am I have a high confidence I’ll have a new job by the end of the day (probably with the same end customer and users just being paid by...

That looks like a useful bit of kit. I refitted my arch liners recently as I was paranoid something was going to go into the belts, but on refitting it was still a bit unprotected. I’ll look at getting this!

Degreasers and elbow grease it is! Bought the steam cleaner to do the car seating the girlfriends car and some other house jobs but thought what other things it could be useful for.

Well it was worth a try! I’ll make my excuses to leave to buy them

I’ve just thought if the tickets come out in the next few weeks and I’m stuck in the labour ward while the girlfriend is giving birth I’m going to be sad. Please can I reserve a morning track session ticket…..

Bought a steam cleaner for some house stuff and on the box it says it can be used on the car which got me thinking. Safe to use on the engine bay? Mainly the rocker cover and block rather than the entire engine. Avoid all electrical parts and connections too.
