Re: Achtung car types...please help with (not a) mid life cr

Two types of convertible... small roadster types that should be lightweight and steer well, and bloated luxury posing cars. The best small roadster for <5k is definitely the MX5, but is a bit hairdresser. Superb car though. If you like tinkering then you can also turbo charge it for extra fun. Any s...

Re: 80 Years since the USSR liberated Poland from the err Po

I guess for it to be considered liberation they'd need to f*ck off again afterwards, not linger and install a puppet government and insist they join your military/economic bloc.

Re: F1 Thread

Hulk, Stroll, and Sainz all pick up a reprimand. That's telling them (I actually have some sympathy - without the tow these 3 all effectively had no chance). I expect the reason it's only a reprimand is that they didn't actually break any written rule. As long as the lap they ended up doing was wit...

Re: What Headphones?

If you're just listening to standard mp3s via phone you can get away with any £10 pair of shitty headphones. Quality kit only matters if your sound source is worth a damn, even 320 kbps mp3s don't really warrant a spend of more than £30 if going through your phone. Your upper limit of £200 is massi...

Re: Anthony Joshua

I'd assume it could also be possible that some tests don't get immediate results, so I'm guessing it's plausible that adverse test results could be available after the fight when the samples are taken just before.
