Any footage of Cav coming off?
Not sure about it being bad luck. Seems like a key responsibility listed on his role description when hired:
- Stay on bike
“Gee Jimmy, that Mark character has all the qualities we’re looking for in a sprinter: he’s fast, reads the race well etc. Although, did you see he fell off 7 times in the test ride?”

Sorry to hear about the incident.
As you can imagine, cabbies know a thing or two about motor insurance. If I were to guess, having been in the business, he will go down to his local garage and try to pull the dent out (suction cups etc). If it doesn’t pull out and requires a visit to the body shop, you might get a call.
But the calculus the cabbie is doing is how much is the dent worth versus what might it do to my premium next year. And we all know what the answer is there...
Unfortunately, uk motor insurance is crap for any incident below c.£5k. Put it down to experience and move on.

The problem I see is Android is built to be an OS for many many use cases, and therefore will be a master of none.
The question I am pondering is which way the head unit market will go. Do people want an all in one device that does many things, or will turn by turn navigation continue to be the killer feature?
And let’s not forget just how hard turn by turn navigation has proven to be. Remember how shit it was even 5 years ago?
I kind of think turn by turn is a data problem, the hardware probably doesn’t matter.

There’s a little bit of a fad at the moment in the motoring world, flat grey paint.
Audi and Porsche both do it, having largely followed a few high end custom shops like Singer. Called Nardo Grey at Audi, standard colour on RS6.
Thing is, when you see it in the flesh it looks... different? I can’t explain what it is and I’m not sure the photos really bring it out.
What’s going on here? Is it just a flat grey with high gloss over it, or is there some black magic trickery? Or are we just so used to seeing cars with metallic fleck through them that when someone doesn’t do that, it looks different?

Replied @RobRead
Just taking another look at that first photo, I couldn’t have done a worse job. I mean, it’s looks like it’s just a box. I am not, and never will be, a photographer.

Yeah, Oz is going the wrong way. Racism masquerading as bogan-chic is totally in.
Pretty grim really.
