We got the Polestar 2 and thats been nice, but its really a little bigger than we need so Mrs CTEC has decided to sell before age becomes a significant factor for the depreciation. We haven't come close to using all the range, so paying for range we arent using seems daft. The Mini is 181...

Mrs Chopper the Ex Copper has a new Mini eledfric on order.

I got my eye on a new kayak, thats my current dream vehicle.

I did mine in the day, one of the last tests in the 80's before the examjner would start following behind with an intercom. Well, the part 2 got off to a good start when the examiner asked me to read the numner plate of my own motorbike. Things got even better when i fell off, because...

This weeks Just Stop Oil protesters include many car owners, including one who has devoted her Felchberk page to documenting the jollies she has in hers (the Mail is quite adept at combing FB for the pages of people of interest.) She's probably one of those moaning about petrochemical comoany...

Yet you're more likely to die while walking in public than riding a bicycle on the road. Avoiding one activity because of a perception of risk, while blithely participating daily in an even riskier activity seems rather odd.

Some kind of bicycle would be my dream vehicle. Ive gone carless, and find it hard to get excited about something that simultaneously drains my bank account and kills the planet.

I heard that powder coating carbon frames can end in tears.

I see two women died on the M25 because the ambulance was stuck in gridlock thanks to the 2 protesters that went to climb up the QE2 bridge. Doctors are quite equivocal - had they been able to get them to Hossy there is a fair chance they could have saved them both. Protesting is fine, and...

Im not a big fan of fillet brazing - it causes as many problems as it solves. Nevertheless, that mix of fillet and lugs does kind of have a weird charm which I quite like.

Aye, she did look a bit of a tool flying from LA to the UK to lecture us about climate. Its like Greta. Fair play to her wanting to get to the US without burning fossil fuel and getting a ride on a sailing yacht. What wasn't so good was the main crew having to get on a jet from the US to...

A handy Viz tip - cyclists, don't waste money converting a perfectly good bicycle to single speed. Simply carry on riding your current bike but don't change gear.

I like Shimano, but have never had any issues with using, maintaining, or being sern in the presence of SRAM drivetrains.

A friend of mine had one of those new BITD, a very elegant looking design. Nearly went for one myself but being young and stupid I went for an Integrale instead, and while it was quicker a used hand grenade would have been more reliable, even one made by politicans.

Mrs Chopper has learned that word of late, most unlike her. She was a teacher, but having MS she was particularly vulnetable covid was moved to be the PA to the principal for no loss of pay. Shes happy, regular hours, not having to deal directly with troublesome herberts, lovely. Or it was...

Best spanners I own are King Dick, with the added advantage of making forums everywhere auto correct the name very time I type it.

I used to work with a chap that had a Mini with a mid mounted Volvo T5 engine. My God, traveling in that gave a fair idea what it would be like to stand on a land mine. Even worse, in his yoof he was a karting champion and the one time he gave me a lift into work we did the whole journey...

Hard. Harder than a Ross Kemp documentary.

I can't say im a fan, but don't have an issue with it either. Meh. It doesnt take me any longer, because Im privy to the secret tricks. They're so secret that they can only be found on youtube.

Hes a cyclist first and foremost. Top feller.
