Rambo Posted March 22, 2022 Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 2 hours ago, pete said: Never found footman James any good for modern loti Sorry to pull you up on a technicality Pete. But the plural of Lotus is Lotus. It's not like octopus to octopi or octopuses etc... Hethel were even forced to issue a press statement on said subject which you might find interesting? https://www.topgear.com/car-news/british/psa-apparently-plural-lotus-lotus Anyway, back on topic, I've found FJ to be good for 30 year old M100's and 13 year old Evora's. It won't stop me having a look around to see if I can better their price though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calvan Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 This is just my opportunity to vent a bit over a real First World problem for which I have noone to blame but myself. Went out this morning for the second of my twice-weekly hockey games. All went well until I had to really hustle back to cover on defence, got my skates tangled up, took a fall and bounced my fool head on the ice. Even with a helmet on, four inches of ice on a concrete base is an unforgiving surface to smack one's head on so I now have some concussion symptoms. That is bad enough but I did the same thing in January so two concussions (albeit mild) in a little over two months is something to think about. And I know that I won't get far in this world if I have to rely on my looks or athletic prowess. My plan has been to keep playing where I am for a couple of more years until I hit 70 and then evaluate whether to quit playing or look for a slower league to play in. Now I'm pissed that I might have put myself in that situation ahead of schedule. Like I said, just venting.

calvan Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 Thanks for the suggestion, it's not a bad idea. On the other hand, I tend to put myself in situations where my enthusiasm exceeds my skill level so I would probably find a way to half-kill myself anyway. 😵 1 1 Quote Mike '97 V8 '73 Europa TC '10 Elise SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramjet Posted March 30, 2022 Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 Well my MacAfee virus protection has been cancelled no fewer than 6 times per day, for the last several days. That and I have 23 viruses apparently. That, and some scantily clad 'lady' in California wants me drop in.

Gold FFM MJON Posted April 2, 2022 Gold FFM Report Share Posted April 2, 2022 can’t say this was my unhappy event but certainly felt some sympathy for the car… oh yes and it’s driver 🥲 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-derbyshire-60958879 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil flash Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 No sympathy from me. Yet again proof that being able to buy a high performance car does not mean competence to drive one. The location on Google Maps can be seen to be a 40mph speed limit so it's a good job he found out early and didn't involve anybody else in his accident. It's idiots like that who make insurance of high performance cars expensive for all of us, when it should be cheaper. A car that can overtake quicker, brake quicker and swerve to avoid accidents without loss of control SHOULD be less likely to be involved in an accident so premiums should be less. 1 1 Quote Phil Leave me alone I know what to do - I think.
