My new toy. I'm looking to build some scratch built model yachts. After checking woodworking forums these are reckoned to be way better than the generic scroll saws selling for £150 - 200. 

 

I got lucky and found a guy selling this for £75. First use confirms it is in a different league from the mass produced Chinese versions which appear in multiple colours wearing a variety of brand names. 

 

 

 

Just looking at it and I'm drooling.

I wouldn't have a clue where to start with it though.

Good afternoon

Sorry to say it but most expensive/middle or high end bikes store a lot of what goes on with them and what you do, cars have been doing it for years, even little shed boxes store so much data that could incriminate you.

 

geo fencing, privacy monitoring you have to allow it all to be used before you can use a car (some brands are more forceful of this than others) wether you like it or not.

thanks for buying this very expensive product but you have to allow us to do away with all your rights/wants/ideals before you can use this product which is all hidden away in small print in a program you have to click yes before we will allow you to go anywhere or see the screen of how fast your going, welcome to the new age of tech and controlling.

We got a hire car last year, took me 5 mins of not agreeing with anything on the screens before I could drive it, with a warning of limited functionality on some systems

Just found out I'm going to Singapore after all. I'll be flying probably on Thursday so a bit of time to get my shit together. Take my bike in to get warranty work done tomorrow and that'll be my biking over until November.

That’s the kicker, some now will refuse to start the car or not let you see the screen (speedo) till you agree with all its small print, which includes geo fencing, tracking and storing all data, etc which once agreed does away with any ideas,likes or thoughts you may have of what your doing or where you’re going to your own personal information never to be possibly shared with anyone.

Good morning. Sort of.

 

I rode back from a Level 2 coaching course for judo last night. Yesterday’s agenda included close on four hours of actually doing (physically demanding) judo training. I was the oldest attendee by some years. Damn, I ache. All over.

Damn, 4 hours! That's some marathon. 

Treat yourself to a nice bike ride.

I had the 125 mile ride back from York… I’m not sure it qualifies as a proper ride being mostly motorway and A road. Besides, I’m coaching at my local club this evening.

Good morning good people

And the others too

 

By any chance does anyone live a stone throw from Meadowfield?

 

Found a interesting wee car there that I would be interested in if in good condition.

As expected, the guy on the phone was as interested as in catching the flu

Good evening. Back from a night coaching judo. The technical term for my current physical state is “knackered”. I have beer to aid recovery… I think that’s the correct nutritional supplement.
