IWC Pilot IW395001

The more I look at it the more I like it.

But not as much as my watch.

Yeah I do like them.
Mrs Gridds is worried about them being too long/big/difficult when not actually riding it though.
She may be able to be persuaded otherwise.
Is there nothing else worth a look?

I'm looking for a cargo bike, something like those nice Omniums, but need it to have a step through frame or very low stand-over height so that both I (6'3") and my wife (5'4") can use it comfortably just by changing the seat height to suit us.
Would anyone know what my options are please?

Anyone fancy applying?

Na. That's just a mule car.

The proper cars will look better.

My Dad has a Mk XVI on the bracelet. Gorgeous watch. He loves it. Never a problem.

Wide!

To be fair it was actually a good race to watch, which I actually did for the first time in ages.

That would require me to actually go to parties.

With brain surgeons.

Ha! That's exactly what I used to do for a living. I was an F1 Materials Engineer. Did it for over 14 years. Until two weeks ago.
The engineering and materials science involved is interesting but it's not rocket science...
I'm done with F1 and the silly hours and the lack of home life.

Now I make spacecraft and work a 37 hour flexi-time week. Bliss!

Can you not specify them without the BMW logos?

Anyone like Ball watches and BMWs?

Renault were actually on the back foot with Lotus last year. The Renault engine is improved but still no where near the merc in terms of weight and power.
If Redbull had a merc pu they'd wipe the floor with the works merc team.

Ruined. :(

On the Lansky system. I bought one of these and tried it. Granted, you can get your knives fairly sharpish with it but I find it an incredibly unsatisfying, fiddly faff to use which just isn't pleasant. It's quite difficult to get it to grip/hold the knife blade soundly enough which can give rise to inconsistencies in the grind angle. Also, due to it's design you can't get super fine angles on the edge of a small blade (like an Opinel pocket knife) as the clamps clash with the stones.
I much prefer standard honing and whetstones which do take practice but they are so much more satisfying to use, you feel much more in touch with work.
Anyway, just my 2 cents.

Physically they're exactly the same engines. They may map it differently. The Red Bull chassis is just that good. The Renault chassis is just that bad (aero wise). Renault have so much work to do to get their car decent.
In 3 weeks I'll be gone and may elaborate more.

The Renault next year will be no better than this year.

Yes. It was very good.

Talking of TV programs, did anyone watch Sir Chris Hoy doing Le Mans on BBC2 earlier this evening? Worth the watch. I noticed he wears a Panerai. Which I thought was interesting considering how much stick they get in this track bike riders watch forum.

Very nice.

Been looking for a decent pocket knife for a while now. After a few unsatisfactory purchases and some considerable research later I finally opted for a Spyderco Paramilitary 2 and it is outstanding!
Easy, quick, one-handed opening (a primary requirement), light in weight, excellent ergonomics and comfort and a blade made with superior Crucible Powder Metallurgy S30V steel that came hair-shaving sharp out the box and maintains incredible edge retention. So satisfying to use. I cannot fault this knife.
It came with a pocket clip that can be set at any of 4 positions but I removed it to make it even lighter, slimmer and more comfortable in the pocket and in use.

Pictured here next to a ('shit') INOX Opinel No.8 for size reference.

One of them at least looks like genuine Gurkha issue Kukri.
Which are decent when it comes to rapid decapitations.

Inspiring work Gaston! Excellent.

Back to Enstone...

Maybe.
