    Throw them at cars on the M50 from flyovers?

    I usually put mine into the metal skip in the local recycling centre.

    Not a best looking clock tbh.

    If I had a garage that could be an option. Don't know a woman who would accept it inside the house, though.

    That was absolutely insane, the spray from the car in front was like a powerhouse on the windscreen.

    Some drivers seemed oblivious to it though.

    Just posted this on the dash cam thread,

    Rain is hardest from 1min in,
    At 3:30 a pretty reckless driver hits a large flood of standing water.

    Visibility is nearly better on camera than it was from drivers seat.
    Doesn't seem to slow people down though.. :confused:

    A few years back when they were resurfacing the M50 I got caught out in a similar downpour, and again there was guys passing at high speed, that time a car in overtaking lane hit standing water at speed and swamped my windscreen for about two seconds, which is a long enough time to be totally blinded.

    Wouldn't you think they'd use the two smaller holes as the 3 and 9 holes instead of making a balls of it with the other two holes?

    Still a nice idea all the same!

    I think the clock looks class...although I don't think it'd work as well with standard disks.

    I've seen some Hard Disk clocks before that were pretty neat, I think they were on sale on etsy.com

    If you could convince someone you took them off Kimi Räikkönen's daily driver then you might have a market.

    That's where the disc holder screws were, not holes they drilled themselves.

    Ya I know that but if they used them two existing holes and just drilled them bigger, it would look better.

    So I'm cleaning up this V6 box diff housing. From a sh*te gearbox. Where part of the diff was stuck in the housing from when it broke :rolleyes:

    Took a whiff of the remaining oil. Smells of rotten chicken and cat pee :eek: I nearly gagged!!!

    Would this weather make its mind up, I have an axle to install....

    Yep, was very surprised to hear that.
    Saw an interesting movie of his a while back, One Hour Photo.
    Very different to what he had become known for.

    I've never seen that one. I like some of his stuff but his later movies grate heavily on my nerves. Still, a sad loss none the less.

    Was only the last day of school we watched the Dead Poets Society. Wasn't my cup of tea, but he was a great actor, especially in Mrs Doubtfire!

    Just saw that and I have to say I was shocked.

    SO many of his films are part of my childhood - Aladdin, Mrs Doubtfire, Hook, Jack etc. One Hour Photo was a creepy but class film.

    RIP :(
