That looks very promising! Have you ever had a go (offline obv) at Maze: Solve the World's Most Challenging Puzzle? I know all the solutions are available, bu it looks insanely hard.

And so, headlights get even smaller, and even higher off the ground. Oh great. Even more blinding.

Schadenfreude can be so delicious, especially when served cold. I can't think of a more deserving cause than Creepy Mandelson. Okay, I can, but I can wait for those.

Pretty much. Very popular with Spectrum developers mind you. Nice keyboard, floppy drives, cross-assembler. That's about it though.

H2 makes a lot of sense for HGVs and buses, not so much for domestic transport. Farms, factories etc can generate their own H2 and store it for later use. Sadly, H2 is really good at leaking out of steel tanks (due to molecule size) so would rapidly naturally deplete in a car through leakage.

With skill and talent like that, its good that it was picked up on and rewarded. It must have been a huge effort to rewrite games with no access to source code, and on a machine with a lot less memory too.

There has definitely been a small flood of them here. But they all seem to be driven by the same sort of person.

I guess Jaecoo are paying "influencers" for their opinion again... Sigh.

Those headlights seem to work remarkably well for an old Royce. I kinda expected them to be more like small but enthusiastic candles.

Great cars (engine, chassis, design) but £735 tax per year for many of them. That's about £1 per mile for what most of these cars do. There are some who sneaked in before the tax cutoff though, but are still a ridiculous £430.

I must admit, initially I mentally criticised you for that repair, then I realised you basically replaced a rubber bushing with a rose joint. So now it is half a high-performance motorsport spec windscreen wiper.

I did a search yesterday and found a £380 return to Jo'burg. Then I did a search on safety around Jo'burg and kinda got put off. Although I suspect most places can sound kinda scary.

I find that, as life goes on, I seem to use paper and pencil quite a bit more. Its just more satisfying. "Better" is very subjective, and just because something isn't photo-realistic doesn't mean it isn't better.
