    Insomnia thread

    I'd second all of this. Also. Have a look on the iPlayer. There's some good stuff on there that I've seen in the last several months about sleep deficits and simple, scientifically proven changes to make, to increase the probability of a good night's sleep. Or, I may be thinking of radio...

    Bouncing gauge displays?

    No need to dig out the video. You've described it beautifully. I think he put in a new battery and all is now right in the world ;) Appreciate all the comments gentlemen.

    Hi - new 4200 owner

    Sincere welcome to the circus John. I have what looks like a very close match or the same colour of interior in my Granturismo and it is a very nice place to be. That shade of grey really does suit the car. For no fee. The forum can signpost you to marriage counselling, debt management and in...

    How You Can Help Ukraine Every Time You Use Your Credit Card

    That saddens me. I remember a time, when perhaps naively, I held BT in some regard. That was a very, very long time ago :(

    How You Can Help Ukraine Every Time You Use Your Credit Card

    Executive Summary: The World Bank, IMF et al have been reporting economic activity in Russia based only on figures supplied by RosStat, the Russian state owned statistics bureau. Without challenge. Thus, to date, sanctions have been seen by the public and world governments as having a mixed...

    Ok, what would you go for?

    Quite right! From Barcelona, I believe.

    Stuff you've found on TV worth watching

    If this makes you laugh. Watch it to the end. I laughed so hard. I thought I was going to break something!

    Bouncing gauge displays?

    A QP owner asked a question last night, in a Maserati Fbk group and it's got me curious. He said that when he puts his foot on the brake to start the car. The needles on the gauges bounce around. I'm guessing that this is as far as he takes it. Not wanting to compound an issue, already present...

    Ok, what would you go for?

    All joking aside. We're only here once. Do what makes you happiest. If I can squeeze another couple of decades out of life, I sincerely hope this is me at eighty.

    Ok, what would you go for?

    The first time I saw a wedge, I almost had a trouser accident. Was September 1986. Towards the end of a glorious summer. I've never forgotten the sight and sound. I think it was the only TVR that I ever saw over here. I reckon that was the time to have one. As a twenty year old. I don't know if...

    The good morning thread

    Haven't slept and given up trying. So, good day to all. Spring clean starts today. What joy. Suddenly very mild at around 13oC. Same as the Greek islands. Go figure. Definitely some of :beach: later on. Hope everyone has fun in the sun.

    MR SNUGGLES GOES TO FUNKYTOWN or VLADIMIR'S SPECIAL sex change OPERATION

    Yes. Wagner has suddenly discovered many opportunities around the world. Basically, anywhere but Ukraine. I might have my bush wars confused. However, I thought that I'd heard the USCJCS Mark Milley say as an aside, during a Congressional hearing last week, something about Wagner throwing French...

    Cat D 2 Seater Strad Anyone?

    I have another reason, not to buy the car in question. Or a million reasons, depending on how you look at it. The owner of the business selling this car, set up a 'charity' in 2017. Purporting to assist Iraqi children who had lost a parent. The Charity Commission investigated the 'charity' and...

    MR SNUGGLES GOES TO FUNKYTOWN or VLADIMIR'S SPECIAL sex change OPERATION

    An ex US General commented last week, that with IFVs and MBTs, the Ukrainians will be able to mount a counter attack of manoeuvre warfare. Which strongly favours them, as they know the terrain and have intelligence sources everywhere. They will look for concentrations of troops, vehicles, supply...

    I don't get it

    This thread cracks me right up. Two parallel conversations. One about car insurance. The other, about meat pasties. To touch on the mundane first. Aren't limited mileage policies at least in part, about risk? As in. The less you're on the public highway. The less opportunity that public has...

    My First Post….

    Welcome Dan. You certainly know how to make an entrance! And no drama either. You state your intentions and just get on with it. Not only that. But you manage to find a colour that I don't think I've seen before. On a forum member car, that is. I'm not saying they're not out there. Before a...

    New Spyder Cambriocorsa Owner

    Welcome and as others have gushed, excellent colour combination. While we do derive a little bit of schadenfreude, when a new owner arrives in a blizzard of bits, having followed his little brain and bought a vehicle fit only for parting out. It is heart warming to welcome a new owner who has...

    Which fm transmitter?

    The KM30 adapter fits both my 9-5 and Granturismo. It's simplicity itself to set up and use.
