Also meant to ask, have you documented the development/build process for these anywhere as honestly I'd love to read it and know more of what's going on under the playfield.

Having just (mostly) finished putting together a mere virtual cabinet myself, I've a huge amount of respect for the amount of design and fabrication work that's gone into that - looks great!

Wonder how infuriating to play a 1/4 scale Firepower would be...

Personally, the Trabant any day of the week - but I know I'm likely in the minority! There's a simple joy to having a tiny simple car which can be used to it's full potential rather than a giant barge that I don't need 85% of most of the time.

Still can't believe how much attention the car got that afternoon. Have never spoken to so many people at any event - I'd pretty much lost my voice by the time we wrapped up! Glad it made so many people smile though, this car always seems to wherever it goes.

Tempered glass can be very bad tempered. We had a shelf on a TV stand randomly explode one afternoon for no readily explicable reason.

Think it must have been about five years before I stopped finding random bits of glass from it.

Didn't know the dog could move that fast!

Quite a few round here plainly not enjoying the weather - one at the coach way here smelled very warm and had clearly barfed out a huge amount of rusty water when parked up.

I haven't used Windows as my "daily driver" since 2007 and regularly forget how irritating little stuff like this is. Yes I'm sure third party programs can do it, but by the time I've had to faff around finding them it's kind of defeated the point of what I see as a standard convenience feature.

Also Volvo. God help me if I ever need to get to it on my V70 D5...I can't even *see* it, much less work on it!

Granted, I'll still take that over the Corsa I had where the oil filter was deeply buried down the back of the engine - I need to get to that more often!

It is indeed. Used to be in there pretty regularly, mainly because they had a good variety of vinyl records which were pretty cheap. So bargains on electrical stuff too. Shame the stock seemed to thin out massively a year or two ago.

Yep! Hoping to cover more miles this year. Feel bad she barely saw daylight last year.

Yep. This was my example. Fitted by a garage, date code on the hose less than a year old. Supposedly correctly rated according to the markings, it had just turned to mush.

That was a good "Wait, what's that hissing noise?" moment. Especially as I'd been on the A5 five minutes before.

There is SO much absolutely dire fuel hose out there these days that ethanol rapidly turns to powder or goo. I exclusively get mine from here these days. Not the cheapest, but it's proper Cohline stuff that will actually last.

Yep, they are evil. I finally ran out of patience with consumer grade tat five years or so back and bought a second hand enterprise grade one from before HP's quality went down the pan. Best £150 I've ever spent on computer hardware I reckon. When I need it, It Just Works.
