Proper order - the bloody gobshite! I blame Musk for calling it 'autopilot' in the first place Autopilot fails: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPMvQphJQiE

I just hope to god that the Teslas sold over here don't have that 'autopilot' system in them, as the amount of clowns over is US-land having accidents with them is mad. Last one I read of, the car ploughed into two police cars, and another car they had pulled over. The police had put out flares on the lane to warn drivers too. The guy's excuse was that he had turned around to check on his dog in the backseat!

I wonder how much a Nissan Leaf will be worth secondhand in 10 years time, and also what the condition of the batteries would be like after 10 years of use. It is one thing for the govt to say no more diesels after 2030, but a lot of people won't be able to afford to switch over to EV, although by that time hopefully there would be plenty of used EV about. Again, what the batteries are like remains to be seen. For anyone commuting into a city from the suburbs, the EV is ideal. My dad reckons that he'll go EV for his next car - he is currently driving a 1.6L diesel Skoda Yeti. I myself only drive motorbikes - I never learned to drive a 'cage', and I'm 44. I've come to thinking that I will never drive either a diesel or petrol car. I've been keeping an eye on the electric bikes though, and would have no problems switching over to one once the prices come down, and more choice is available from more manufacturers.

Good stuff lads!

Looks good to me

Brilliant!

While it may have a seller selling HO kit, wish.com is just a load of different sellers in China selling any & all sorts - expect long delivery times!

Packs of empty flats, with different numbers to those already released, would sell well in the future.

Yeah, the finance dept here is breathing a sigh of relief, that's for sure!

£28 to the Republic isn't free... and yet it doesn't even have to cross the Irish Sea...

I always saw them as more of a sad or depressed look about them

Hi all, I just spotted this on Donedeal - may be a member on here that is selling, but just thought I'd post it up in case anybody is looking for bits https://www.donedeal.ie/hobbies-for-sale/hornby-lima-bachman-fleichman-airfix-trains/23542757

Wasn't on my radar, but just ordered a copy there now!

Has me thinking of a Barna shed!

Living in Athlone, I get to hear them accelerating after they cross the Shannon, heading west on freight workings. There is no mistaking the GM sound as it carries on the wind!

"Gouger Watch" more like!

Shame he's only got the one for sale - no chance of making a full rake...

Flats & two A's already paid for!

Thankfully there is a gap between the IE and IR liveries - it'll give the wallet time to recover!!

Reminds me of the time a lad I work with announced he got the hostname 'fourhorsemen.com', which I said I thought would have been taken already. It turns out that he mispelled, and had actually reserved 'fourhoursemen.com' instead!

They look the part! Plenty of uses for them - weathered up they'd look perfect in the corner of a rural bus depot even

An Post also charge a 'handling fee' if your item gets stopped for duty by Customs: "A fee of 1% of the value, with a minimum charge of €10 per packet or parcel, is charged by An Post for customs clearance of parcels imported from countries outside the EU. This fee is in addition to any duty or VAT payable." The thing that really annoys me is that Customs will base the duty they charge you on the price of the item plus postage costs, which I don't think is fair. "If your goods have: a customs value (including cost, transport, insurance and handling charges) of €22 or less you will not have to pay Customs Duty or VAT a customs value of more than €22 you will have to pay VAT an intrinsic value (the value of the goods alone excluding transport, insurance and handling charges) of more than €150 you will have to pay Customs Duty."

Don't you mean that the bedroom had an ensuite kitchen?

Tenerife?
