    cheers... managed to extract battery without having to hoist the thing out of boot.. thankfully as putting it back in without might have been an issue balance wise. The hoist is set to keep level with it in and its a heavy unit.



    On charge. Not weighed it but reckon it's about 12kg or more

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    The prolific use of electric vehicles in San Francisco shows how behind the times we are.

    As this video shows.

    Look up Rion scooters. Buy one of those and a massive dose of adrenaline the like of which you have never known your Brabster be able to provide will flush through your veins.

    I did it for you. Simply remove the limiter and you can go over 100mph. On a scooter.

    It will shitey pop poop all over the Brabster in certain speed ranges.

    Just catching up with this thread.

    Reminds me of a pal, who - when licences were a small red booklet, a bit like a wee passport - had an endorsement inserted that read: "For exceeding the speed limit on a motorcycle whilst towing a horse!....
