    Yes, it's one of the best features of the Focus during the winter!

    Not really. When I've had cheap tyres they've been OK in the dry but have never felt good for standing water, and we get a lot of rain in this country! At present I've Uniroyal Rainsports on the Focus, Bridgestone all seasons on the TT and Goodyear Eagle F1s on the Boxster, all of which give confidence over a range of conditions.

    There's an auto for sale in the North East (nothing to do with me, though) for a bag, so maybe within haggling distance of your price @maxxo since it looks a bit rough round the edges? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265357806498?hash=item3dc88ecba2:g:jbsAAOSwGr1gtg1l

    That is a well-maintained car!

    Thanks! If you are able to write the early Mac system files to floppies, I'd be grateful (and will of course cover the cost of the disks etc.) The Mac in question may in fact be a 512K model (it's been in the loft a good decade, so I can't remember for sure - I'll retrieve it this weekend) but the disk format for those (single sided 400K) is the same.

    Do you know where it's possible to get system floppies for early Macs? I've a 128K M0001 sitting up in my loft, previously working, but last time I tried using it the floppy disks I had appeared to be unreadable and I got the 'sad Mac' icon. Oh yes, the first generation Mac portables were truly abysmal - they were huge, weighed a ton and had a very short battery life...

    Not an E class (as claimed in the listing), but currently very low winning bid: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/124973186985?mkevt=1&mkpid=0&emsid=e11021.m43.l3160&mkcid=7&ch=osgood&euid=80522e70ecf4457882800691f07ab640&bu=43005318925&ut=RU&exe=99323&ext=234176&osub=-1~1&crd=20211027045138&segname=11021&sojTags=ch%3Dch%2Cbu%3Dbu%2Cut%3Dut%2Cnqt%3Dnqt%2Cnqc%3Dnqc%2Cmdbreftime%3Dmdbreftime%2Ces%3Des%2Cec%3Dec%2Cexe%3Dexe%2Cext%3Dext%2Cexe%3Dexe%2Cext%3Dext%2Cosub%3Dosub%2Ccrd%3Dcrd%2Csegname%3Dsegname%2Cchnl%3Dmkcid

    That is just so wrong, it's right...

    Epic work @DoctorRetro!

    Routine oil and filter change on my TT Mk1 (about the limits of my technical ability): Should be good for another 5,000 miles.

    Maybe we can discuss less BX and more educationally related issues here? If only you'd studied physics back in the day when O-levels were still around...
  22. Dr_Slow
    Maybe this is something for another thread to avoid derailing this, because there's potentially a lot to unpick there...

    These days it isn't part of the Maths GCSE in England and Wales (at least the Edexcel version), so a lot fewer than in the past.
