3173 and 3185...

Ah, Silk Cuts, now that takes me back. Must be 20 years ago.

The colour is actually very nice. My only bugbear is what they were smoking when they put the pinstriping so high up the body. Although, "so high" up the body is probably a clue...

Just like Raheney and Raheny!

Booooooooo!!!

I like the fluorescent pink. Very progressive gay pride feel to it. Are they going to repaint all of the Cravens pink or just the GSV?

Just now, off the TF-1 at the Chio roundabout, a Seatrade reefer. Don't remember ever seeing one of these before. Only 8'6" tall, so looks tiny compared to the usual Boluda and OPDR 20' dry boxes.

How's Fran doing? On the mend or have you had him put to sleep?

Accurascale 92???

i have an even better idea. Next time he's down here, I throw the three of them off the balcony so he has to scavenge the fragments, first. Giving him all of the pieces just makes it too easy. He needs to work at the next one.

Enough horseplay, you bunch of cowboys. Savage space, @Adrian!

And maybe we'll one day have RTR GSV's for our Cravens, RPSI Cravens, Sperry trains, and yes, begrudgingly for our British stock to run with, too. Would certainly fit the multi-platform IRM / AS approach.

Is that an RPSI Mk1 GSV?

I thought that this project would have been more challenging for you. I'm disappointed that a write-off was so easy to sort. I'll have to put more thought into your next challenge. Maybe some sort of global scavenger hunt to recover the shattered pieces, first.

I wonder if we'll get an RTR model when (not "if") IRM release P47. Looks like they have three variants to choose from, going on the photos in this thread, but I guess a P47 "bonus ball" pack with a few more weedspray tanks would be a good idea.

It's not just the sound. It's the smell, the vibration, the sound, the combination of them all swirling and rushing at your brain like an addictive cocktail, you just need more and more, one more wh-tssssss of the BOV or one more poke over 5500 to hit VTEC again.

Spoke with @Weshty at the start of January regarding 071 wipers and he said: "I don't have any 071 wipers at the moment and it will be a while before I get a new order in. I'll let you know." I never asked about A Class wipers at the time as I didn't realise that 048 was missing one, but I assume it's the same scenario.

The SOUTHSIDE??? Ugh, I think I'm allergic to crossing the Liffey.

Does this mean no Raheny this year? I also now realise that I've been incorrectly writing "Raheney' for several decades. Jaysus.

I'm not sure if "extensively" was the exact wording used. It was more like "do your worst" ... I guess I owe you an Abrakebabra if I ever get off the island and get my back side up to the Raheney show.

Deadly seeing the whole thing condensed into one post. Carlsberg don't do timelapse, but if they did...

That's exactly what IRM said! I find your lack of faith disturbing, and theirs. If anybody can work their magic on 048, it's @murphaph!

Already checked with IRM and they have no spares available at all, for anything other than warranty repairs - which this very obviously isn't!

To fit to a 201?

Nice little (or not so little) CX! I'm of the opinion that EVE's are currently at a "gateway" stage to a cleaner and healthier future. It's a chicken and egg scenario. When enough people are driving EVE's, pressure can be put on the authorities for a cleaner source of the electricity used, but for now, they only really move the pollution... If the electricity is generated by burning coal, for example, then instead of having millions of little ICE's emitting fumes, we have millions of EVE's emitting no fumes, but consuming electricity from a source that emits a lot of fumes. Regarding the environmental impact of fabricating the batteries... Have you ever seen a clean and environmentally friendly oil well or processing plant or supertanker or mechanics workshop or breakers yard? Probably not. EVE's are definitely the future, and I say that through gritted teeth as I'm a petrolhead, we're just not there yet. P.S.: You liar, @Mayner! No way that multiple Honda's could stop running in just 15 years!
