there can only be one Fezza for me

(don't @ me)

Of course I found this out the hard way, and gave up and paid the fity quid for F1TV for the year.

F1 impose a delay to replays to other channels by contractual agreement for the main race.

If you go on F1.com you can find a list of how long the delay is by the territory you live in (New Zealand for example, is 14 days).

Is this circuit for real?

That twisty section looks almost undriveable in an F1 car

Just the local ones really - You can close a public road for a hillclimb here with relative ease compared to the UK.

Not sure if i've posted this before but i've put a few in car videos on my youtube channel from a few hillclimbs.

Yep, they are regarded as quite fun road cars, mine has been plagued with minor issues (because rally car) but i'm reaching the end of fixing that stuff now.

For me, i just think the Golf is the best all rounder, sure it's maybe bit bland and sensible, but the golf comes out as the car i'd actually want to daily. Plus they go like a cut cat especially with a remap.

I have almost bought spicy French cars on a few occasions, the last Peugeot we looked at had horrible noisy suspension which I knew would drive me mad on a daily basis. The prospect of maintaining those alcons on a road car would definitely put me off.

If the POS Subaru i'm running about has a major let go any time soon i'll be looking for a Mk6 GTI i think.

I’d go mk7 Golf R all day long.

Tbh I’d be happy with the GTI equally.

Could you budget for the golf R and a remap?

Is it actually big enough?

My in laws have a (similar sized?) Quashqai and constantly complain how small it is inside

Here’s a couple more.

Spotted the GT40 kit car through the window of the “Dunedin mens shed”, it was previously a business that did aircon refurbs

I only use treats at agility now really.

The agility training has a pretty strict usage policy of do work > get paid a wage, rather than bribery as such. Eventually we will transition onto playing with a tug toy as the wage rather than treats too.

It's because it's not a Quattro - It's an Audi Coupe GT

Couple of recent spots

I have to do my headlights once a year, the UV amounts in NZ are really high and plastic headlights suffer terribly.

You can wet sand them with 1200 / 1500 / 2000 grit and then you'll need to cut them with a polishing compound. You can skip the polishing compound step if you later clear lacquer them to seal them instead

Always use the pizzle sticks with puppies as a distraction / focus treat. We stop using them once they have adult teeth because they just don't last very long beyond a certain point.

We get airdried venison shanks in multipacks and give her a fresh one if we ever leave her in the house for more than a couple of hours to keep her occupied.

ugh my overactive imagination probably can't walk in the dark anymore.

Maybe this is the nightcrawler

As it's getting Autumnal here in NZ, and since daylight savings I have been dog walking before work in the dark with a head torch (and putting my cateye rear light on Phoebe's collar).

I still shit my pants in the woods in the dark at times, particularly when we get surprised by a possum on the tracks.

Also as we come back through the field on the way back to the car, we always seem to find a forgotten ball left there from the night before somehow.

I am looking to buy a high carbon steel wok, preferably without any sort of coating (may consider coated if it's not plastic of any sort, teflon or otherwise)

Anyone have any recommendations? I don't mind seasoning it

CSB: F&P have had sabbath mode for quite some time.

I was about to say you could look at a Haier. They are basically now the more affordable F&P.

F&P removed a lot of their series 3 entry level products and superseded them with Haier after Haier group bought F&P a few years ago.

I have a Haier heat pump dryer and I’ve been really happy with it - although it was still quite spendy

In the UK F&P sell series 5 and series 7 fridges. I think they start at 1700gbp

Fisher & Paykel

I don't think we do one with quite the right ratio of freezer to fridge for the OP but worth a look.

Also the range of white appliances from F&P is more limited, stainless is much more common.

Here lies your issue

I do recall it being extraordinarily long at the time
