I dont think we get the sun enough for small panels to actually do anything useful.

And its rarely the summer when you need the battery maintained ;)
See reply number 2  ;D

No, I ignore your posts 8)

They can be a bit hit and miss plus they need to be directly connected to the battery live (as the standard ports will get shut down after a period of time).

Might just be easier to fit a convenient charge port and occasionally connect a charger to them (This is what the F_type is getting)

This one's got an ODBII port connector.

There is no way I would contemplate a foreign holiday during the current situation.

Are they any good?

Is this one any good? :- https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B084M5ZL5L/ref=as_li_ss_tl?SubscriptionId=AKIAJO7E5OLQ67NVPFZA&ascsubtag=540378660-192-&tag=msnukrfre-21

As both cars are not used much these days for long journeys, I though of getting a couple.

General Discussion Area / Re: End of roaming..

Switch to Three, they have free roaming to 70 odd countries worldwide.  :y
Isn't that like poking yourself in the eye?  At least the main networks in the UK have UK coverage ;D

I've been with Three for years and the only time I've had signal problems was in deepest darkest Deben.  :)
I have a PAYG Three SIM, and coverage in England is appalling, similar to GSM in the 1990s ;D
I've been with Three for fifteen years, yes fifteen years, and never, ever had a problem. That includes in the wilds of the Yorkshire Dales and in London.

You get about a bit, don't you ;)

General Discussion Area / Is Windows 11 the death of the PC?
« on: 01 July 2021, 09:04:02 »
As millions of PC's won't be able to run Win 11, will people just use their tablets and phones instead?

« on: 25 June 2021, 17:46:34 »
Free "upgrade" from win 10  :) IF your system meets the minimum hardware requirements  ::)

System requirements

  DirectX 12 or later with WDDM 2.0 driver  ::)
so Microsoft wrote W11 for the bitcoin ethereum miners then , no one else can get decent graphic cards  :-X

According to Dell (I have 3) non of the models I own will be compatible with Win 11.

« on: 31 May 2021, 18:44:02 »
Anyone on here going to be affected?
Yup, my new office is right in the centre, when they finish building it.

As others have said, its simply a lame excuse to raise money to pull down statues, and otherwise piss it up the wall, just like London.


Places like the Bullring will ultimately close - double whammy of losing their large stores already, plus the fact nobody will drive there to do, say, xmas shopping.  Then suddenly, the council will be crying that the centre has died, and how its everybody's fault but theirs....   ....much like Oxford city council ;D
And, of course, they get no money from the charge  :)

They are causing congestion elseware, so they will have an excuse to widen the scheme until it takes in the whole of Birmingham.

Everyone will be confined to their houses, and only be able to order online.

Every road will become a bus or cycle lane if this council have their way.

They've already had to back track on the Bristol Road, after spending millions, as it made it too dangerous, now they're spending millions putting it back to how it was - yet the idiots keep voting them back it.
