@flightradar24 LS1445 from Stansted to Funchal diverted to Bristol an hour ago. Wonder if that was due to conditions at Funchal

Has anyone else had issues with the ‘new’ passports failing to scan at the e-readers? Mine’s literally never once worked. At Heathrow now and the machines seem to reject everyone with a blue (black?) UK passport. Chaos as usual @HeathrowAirport

@autosport @NobleF1 What did they think was going to happen. F1 races themselves can be boring at times let alone when cars are going around the track at reduced pace trying different setups with no actual racing what so ever.

With #F1Testing fully televised it has drawn criticism from some fans about a boring spectacle 😫 @NobleF1 looks over the situation and what #F1 could do to add a bit of spice 🌶️

@DirtFishRally Brutal for Craig but I can see the reasoning. Only one of them doing a full season so realistically the only one capable of winning the drivers title.

@utdreport @JamieJackson___ Duty of care would be a pay off to cancel contract. He gets a load of money and can find a club elsewhere. He won't enjoy the backlash he will get in the UK and will be better off playing overseas.

A substantial proportion of #mufc's workforce would be deeply unhappy if Mason Greenwood played for the club again, but others feel a duty of care toward the player [@JamieJackson___]

@llewelyn20 I bet they will still want to fine parents for taking their kids out of school too but it's fine to close the school for strikes

Personally I think the odd missed day of school makes fuck all difference. But it makes me laugh that kids will be 'deeply harmed' from a day not in school due to strikes, but will be absolutely fine with a day not in school from the coronation. Make your mind up.

@trent_dan £24k for a Fiesta!!!! Sorry but I don't consider that a cheap car by a long stretch! £6k deposit too. EVs aren't cheap but neither are cars these days.

Apparently cars like this Fiesta I'm in are obsolete, yet is a good size, has all the kit, will do 50+ mpg all day and you can have one like it for £235/month on a 0% two-year deal. Not the four years at £600/month you'll pay for the electric SUV you 'should' be running. Mental.

@MusingsEv @evmanuk As I said none if it was on my radar until I discovered his YT early last year. By end of March I had the Corsa (got a great deal) and by the summer I had committed to the solar & battery with it all finally being comissioned last week. I'm scared to watch his channel now 🤣

@MusingsEv 12 months ago evs not on my radar. Now the wife has a corsa ev which we use most of the time except for longer journeys/family hols & I have added a solar & battery system. Currently sat here battery full, house running off solar with excess going to car. I blame @evmanuk

THE EV MUSINGS PODCAST@MusingsEv·
Two Xmas conversations, 1 year apart. 1) “Electric cars are no good for me. I travel too far and need the range. I’ll not be buying one” 2) “I’m looking at an EV as a second car” The difference? A family member bought one during the year and liked it. Baby steps…

@thefinaltenth Bought my 6 year old the 6r4 with van and trailer set. Made him promise to treat with care 😂. Got him quite a few old rally cars now. I think I get more excited than he does 😂

@Coxy847 @TGE_LDNM Its the charging away from home that ups the cost considerably. Wifes Corsa EV still works out cheaper to run that her previous Fiesta even on the capped electric tariff. EV tarrif would make it cheaper still. But its only ever charged at home.

@TGE_LDNM Infrastructure Tom. All about the infrastructure. Until it catches up it will always be tricky I guess. Charging at home is the most viable option, if you can of course 😅

Here’s an interesting(ish) one. Spent £50 on electricity for my car yday, got 140ish miles real world. Cotswolds-London & back being fairly careful with heating/speed etc That same £50 at £1.55 would have got me 400~ miles in a hybrid doing 56 mpg, & taken less time to fill 🤔

@LincolnshireMan @tillathenun I have this situation too so considering for the next car just using All season year round. The Michelin Cross Climate 2 are great in the snow but not poor in the warmer weather either. Fine for day to day use. Maybe not so fine if you want a performance tyre though

@tillathenun Yup, winter tyres on spare rims for years now. Only problem is lots of spare wheels and tyres in the shed because the winter wheel rims don't fit the next car. Just tyres this time.

I wish I did this sooner. All-season tyres now on the Leaf. What a difference it makes! ❄️ The summer ones I bought 18 months ago still have plenty of tread, so I'll put them back on when the weather improves. Tyres in the shed? I'm officially an adult!

@WRCgerardquinn Allow them to develop own hybrid system then but cap spend on doing so so it's not necessarily biggest pocket wins? Still think Rally 2 based cars with more ICE power and hybrid will be cheaper and more attractive to manufacturers but you are better positioned than me to know.

@MRJAMESR It was along those lines in 2017. The licence fee to use third party technology does not benefit current manufacturers or attract new ones. Showcase?? Tech transfer?? #folly

#WRC2 #RC2 Ford Fiesta Citroen C3 Hyundai i20N Skoda Fabia VW Polo Toyota Yaris A rally series with 6 Manufacturer's, sounds like an affordable rally championship when not competing in European or National championship events. There I go repeating myself again.........🤦
