IKEA do a desk clamp design. Just make sure it had a E14 or E27 base and there's tons of bulb options. Unlikely you'll find a dimmer on anything that isn't integral LED, you could wire in an inline dimmer but the beaut of an Anglepoise design is light levels can be adjusted by moving the head up and down. Normally when I'm at my desk I rotate the head against the wall and just have soft indirect light.

Well deserved, the best thing about that flex is that I have neither

But can you do twice as much manufacturing at home, and still be able to walk the puppy, dance with your children in the kitchen to radio 6 and make sourdough?

There's a woman in our local park who shouts 'Cheese!' every time her dog runs off or is out of control. It doesn't work but is generally very funny to watch. A bit like Partridge Dan but with added desperation.

If it's not in my diary and i have more important things to do it's not going to happen.

I'm sure we've covered this but arbitrary days of the week you need to be in the office.

Meetings- Teams
Collaboration - everyone has their headphones on
Well being - really?

Maid Marion theme tune on the radio this morning and now a cracking steam train documentary on 4. Grand day.

I'll check with my old man who he bribed to move the Saab from SE London to Bath when my MOT expired during lockdown.

I'm sure there's heaps of options but i would highly recommend Smart clothing store in Tokyo. Maybe not super boutiquey but they're the main Pherrow's distributor and supply Clutch Cafe. Super nice people and store.

LED's do naturally loose output over time but we're normally talking small margins over 10s of 1000s of hours.

Do you have another one of those fittings anywhere else? I'm not an electrician but i work in lighting and more often than not it's the power supply causing issues. If there's a remote driver in the ceiling void you could try swapping it over if you have an another one and can isolate the power safely. If it's integral then i wouldn't mess with it.

minute detail

Slim Nitto steel spacers match the flange of a Superleggera stem perfectly and sit very nicely on low stack covers. From memory S-works has a similar junction with the spacers (fat spacers look shit with tapered bottomed stem). Your new bike is looking superb.

Ignore excess...

I really rate Blundstone's for this quandary. Easy to put on/off, very comfy and most importantly super easy to clean. They do a water resistant version that i had for a while but the normal leather was still very good with proofing applied. Not 100% waterproof but held off the wet in most conditions. I only sold my waterproof ones as they were not getting used.

I tried gore-tex trainers and hiking boots, both got damp/stinky/filthy in no time.

Liz line platforms are a thing to behold. Two orderly organised queues either side of the doors and then a Soul Train walk off down the middle for those that are sticking it to the man.

Ha, dam autocorrect, early start...

@lynx yep, yours for £114k

Restomod is pretty cool

Ignore, can see Chaley already figured it out

For a while i thought i'd stumbled onto an extra long M&S advert. Absolute shite.

Great frame. I'd say that's a good price for a ready to ride bike or a nice and easy project for someone.

I came across this guy for the first time on the weekend as i was setting something up on YT and ended up watching the 40 minute Insider program with him. Interesting guy, bit of a show off but easy enough to understand. Google Fu suggests man with good points but also talks bollocks about himself.

is the cornering improved?

Negative camber swing axle says no.

+1, still very good IMO, got a kit for the 900.

Chewable vitamin C tablets, Refreshers mixed with cyanide. Only 498 left to go.

Excellent work. Both in fixing things and making me feel better about my project!

It's been a frustrating couple weeks not being able to get to the car but my dad has been cracking on with it in my absence. Not all smooth sailing but in general he's made excellent progress.

Considering how badly the bodykit had distorted whilst off the car, the fact it's on and fits at least as well as it did before is no small win. This is a job i'm actually quite handy at so will be happy to keep massaging the panels in to place when it's back with me. The fact the car is now 99% rebuilt and i've only lost a few small trim bits is a small miracle. Thankfully nothing that would cause any headaches for getting an MOT as it's just been in for one.

After all that hard work i still had two major worries, the chassis condition and the emissions. After getting it up on the ramps and giving it a thorough look and prod the mechanics couldn't find anything of concern. Not even a "you might want to keep an eye on that area" recommendation. It then went through the emissions tests including the cat and to my surprise sailed through them with ease. The last few years have been hit or miss because of a slowly degrading exhaust system but it looks like the new pipe and brackets fitted earlier in the year have done the job. The car now has an MOT with no advisories, phew.

I would really like the car back now but there are still a few jobs to do before it comes back (and then a big job when it does come back). I'm going to limit jobs this year as the car is so far behind the deadline but at a minimum:

New discs, performance pads and HEL lines on the front (all bargains rescued from an abandoned project).
New calipers and off side wheel bearing on the rear (as above).
Full brake bleed/new fluids.
New outer CV boots.
Recover drivers seat with repaired cover.
Potentially a recon turbo we have in the spares box but need to think on that.

All going well these can be done by mid-late October but i won't be betting on it.

I also need to think on parking. True to the thread title if i park in the garage i loose all other storage which isn't an option. I could just park on the road and try and forget about it but i'm not keen on that option either. So, after years of watching the architects in my office develop and apply their craft i've taken what i have learned, put on my blue sky thinking cap and come up with an architected (TM Kanye West) masterpiece.
