Front motor long travel 4wd init. Super dynamic compared to the touring cars that are more point and shoot.

I lie though, it’s not entirely stock; the front has a ball diff not the geared diff.

Stock XV-01 at West London

Nothing wrong with a pressurised hot water cylinder. Especially if you actually like washing your hands in hot water.

If it all works don’t just rip it out to fit an inferior system. Wait for it to croak then have at it.

You're cutting your nose off to spite your face at this point if you walk away

I agree, to an extent. This is their opportunity to get negotiating experience.

@PhilDAS Get back to the EA with a revised offer. Best guess. i.e. worst case £20k to fix the lot (wall, chimney, roof). They might tell you to do one, they might not. Take it from there. If you've already decided to sack it off, there's no harm in it.

Interesting.

I feel the outcome will be determined by how keen the sellers are to move.

If they have a place lined up already, and have had some buyers pull out, they will negotiate and you will be able to chip them a fair amount.

If you are the first buyers and they feel they can afford the wait, they will push as hard as they like and try and test you.

I would, personally, get in touch with the seller. Try and strike up a dialog. Going through the EA won't really work here. Also, I'd start looking for another place, a plan B, as you might need it.

FWIW, any roof over 20 years old would be classed as end of life, so don't read too much in to that on it's own. We had a similar report for ours, OG unlined Edwardian tiled roof. It's still going after a £7k service. If the wooden roof structure is fucked somehow, that's another story. So I'd be keen to find out the real condition of the structure underneath. That's a Roofer's job, but as always, it will be hard to get them in to look without the possibility of a job lined up.

Appears I don’t like setting the date though!

All the time this at the mo

Dayum

That's mad. Our place looks like that... if you don't heat it at all.

It’s just a silver can on 3s. Run it loads and it’s been ok.

I use direct soldered connections on the serious stuff.

My XV-01 has been in the wars. Binned it on the road track pinging off the front drivers side suspension arm. Fixed that up only for the servo to die (my bad, I'd just fitted a direct horn and it was a £15 servo) and take the BEC out on the (£15) ESC with it.

Time to put a 120 amp ESC, 4.5t motor and a 40kg servo in, obvs.

with the second bedroom being in a loft conversion, but (unbeknownst to those partaking in purchasing it at the time) not built to fire safety regulation, (the room needing a partition, ie. wall, door, to prevent fire getting inside) the property is basically a one bed with loft space?

More or less, but the property itself hasn't changed in light of this new information. Whatever good the buyer saw in it still exists, maybe with the addition of a stud wall and a fire rated door, which is fairly small beer in the grand scheme of things. Opportunity to negotiate the price downwards I would have thought, but a bit of a red flag. Buyer beware.

Ah that is niiiiiice

so I usually go mid-low risk

I’m trying to think of situations where this is the right answer.maybe if you need the money back tomorrow? In which case why bother?

Low risk ‘traditional’ investments feel so low risk as to be pointless. Returns will be low after fees, assuming you win, but they’ll still tank with the high risk stuff.

Even the high risk stuff is orders of magnitude less risky than, uh, untraditional investments.

Unless you are taking your pension you want

• some cash to tie you over if shit gets real
  
• the bulk in trad. Investments that are high risk for growth
  
• A small amount of punts that will mostly fail but might get to the moon
  
  

Nothing in between

I bet £70k (or whatever the highest figure you can take without losing TFC) would, with a bit of rejigging and some sacrifices.

It’s temporary and you’d have a mega pension pot by the end.

I’m not defending TFC rules though, especially the dumbassery around child benefit.

Don’t be like Yasmin who hasn’t figured out how to make her £150k salary look like £70k despite apparently being smart enough to command such a salary at 31.

Where do they find these people? AI?

Maybe I should just mod my XV01 - it was hilarious fun on the onroad track. Body roll was amazing realistic. Shame it thermalled after five mins.

Does have a £15 speedo and motor running on 3s though

Lateral play can be taken out with shims between the wavy and the bearing.

If the crank arm wobbles the interface fit is toast.

Not a Tamiya then…

Wouldn’t be adverse to a TC-01 or TB5. I wouldn’t race it, would just like something like a TT01 that doesn’t eat itself on anything hotter than a silver can.

Also a TC-01 would complete the inboard suspension trilogy

Made it out to West London Racing Centre. Great fun. Feel like I need a fast as fuck touring car now.

We also had one of the early ‘lugable’ PCs that could just about do DTP and CAD. And Dangerous Dave, from the studio that ultimately produced Doom and Quake.

HNMC crawling track.

Yes of course, this is the exact shape of all gifts bestowed / offered on every facet of the Labour Party. How stupid of me.

could not the Labour party have said 'We're not a party that accepts free stuff'

Sure, they could have said it. They could have said a lot of things. I wonder why this would have been one of the most important things to say, given how practically impossible it would have been to do.

Yeah but where in there? You can go back and look at the individual tax codes for each year but you can't find a pdf of the p2 - at least, I can't.
