Cars are surprisingly heavy http://cars.lovetoknow.com/List_of_Car_Weights

yours was exceedingly heavy though, at 3 tons. there's not a single car on that list which weighed as much as yours.
i drive a skoda octavia, i suppose a middling sized car; it weighs just under one and a half tons.

I have two 700x28 in the shed. They're too hard to get onto my current wheelset, so they only did a few km. They've been in the shed a few years, but they're absolutely fine, I think. Yours for free, if you want them. I live in Balally/Dundrum/whatever it's called.

Came through bigtime.



Good thing theres no law regarding bald bicycle tyres (inner is still perfect).

Dunno; that was what the scrappers said my old Ford Mondeo weighed; that was what they paid me for. Maybe they were wrong!

How many bodies did you have in the boot?

Only the goddess Kanon hanging from the mirror, and my Wheels of the World CD in the front, plus a couple of heavyish jacks that i donated with the car, not needing them any more. But they didn't weigh the car, they looked it up and said that was what it weighed.

Maybe, knowing the vagaries of the non-metric systems, they were using a little known variant of the "ton". The Greenwich ton or something.

Just overheard the kids playing upstairs.

This the new president of the USA. His name is Tigger.

Nice to have a steady hand on the tiller again.

Rule 24 applies around here to mass too SI units only! Even a Range Rover only weighs around 2500kg. Maybe they gave weight in pounds an older mondeo weighs a bit under 1400kg~ 3000lbs

Can someone tell me the name of that light that is also a camera? Maybe I'm just sensitive at the moment, but seemed to get a lot of close passes today.

Dunno. I got me €150 and me car taken away so I was happy enough with what they told me.

Yea. I got them both. One negative about the 12 is the size of the tightening yoke makes it awkward to mount under the bars. All good aside from that though.

While both riders may have past indiscretions, i saw this photo posted elsewhere today and brought a smile to my face. Valverde and Contadors careers have coincided with my interest in pro cyling and this photo bookends two great careers

Top photo is from Tour of Romandie 2006 and second is from Ruta del Sol 2017

Thought you were talking about the thread then, and panic started creeping in...


...anyway, I do have a plan. I'm going to reinstate a few of your deleted posts to ensure you leapfrog 10,000
