Very nice. I’ve built smoke generators in some of my son’s outfits, and getting a good “whoosh” of smoke is surprisingly difficult, so this is quite impressive.

Heh, my daughter’s first ever cosplay at 4 years old was Annie the Dark Child from LoL.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - get rid of Shouty McShoutface and watch the ratings go back up.

I see quite a few derogatory comments about people wanting auto boxes. I’ve driven autos for years and I doubt I would ever go back to a manual.

That Jag is reminiscient of the ‘76 XJ12 driven by the coolest man who ever lived - John Steed...

I just threw up in my mouth a bit. If they’re going to go for a retro design, at least go for a tasty one, like the best looking car ever made, the 1925 Phantom I Jonckheere Aero Coupe...

Don’t wear gloves or long sleeves. You should never wear gloves or long sleeves when operating any kind of machinery or working on vehicles. Gloves and sleeves get caught in things and will drag you into said machinery. Same goes for jewelry and long hair.

Not ‘less Chris Evans’, more like ‘no ShoutyMcShoutface at all’.

With a front end like that, I would buy it, convert it to a Chinese six, paint it pink and turn it into Lady Penelope’s redneck chariot...

Coincidence or delicious irony that the 2CV is parked in the disabled spot...? :-)

Great pictures, btw.

Here’s the thing - after the first episode, Shouty McShoutface was all over Twitter banging on about the overnight viewing figures and how great they were (they weren’t, really). I said at the time that the first episode viewing figures didn’t really matter - what mattered was how many came back for a second helping.

I don’t know if it’s the same today as it was in my day (late ‘80s) but back then they introduced tethers to hold the blower to the block and the block to the frame, so if the fuel pressure dropped off and the manifold let go (which looks like what happened here), the blower wouldn’t head off into the stands and end…

One of the games I worked on EA was Battlefield 2142, and there was a hack program going around (the name of which escapes me) that had a reasonably large following at one point. The thing I always found the most absurd was the fact you had to buy this cheat, actually pay real money for it.

I wear glasses because the very thought of poking around in my eyes makes me want to puke. Even reading this story has made my eyes water. It’s a shame really, because there are some very cool contacts out there. I perform regularly at one of London’s larger scare attractions, and some of our scare actors wear…

That’s actually not a bad idea. One of the biggest issues for VR gaming (as far as I can see) is having enough space to play. With a setup like this, you could play in your garage or even out in the garden, for example. Give it a while and you’ll see dedicated kit for this - little more than a souped-up laptop kind of…

Mmmm... Whale puke - guaranteed to get anyone’s juices flowing, usually in the wrong direction :-)

I bought a second hand but almost new car some years ago - the dealer had the car at another site and offered to bring it over for me to look at, so I said OK.

Can the guy who posted the original video get a DMCA takedown on the episode of Family Guy for stealing their video...?

I remember when a branch of Costco opened near me, years ago, and they sold tyres at great prices. I went over there to get four new tyres fitted, and the guy whizzed the wheelnuts up with a nut runner, backed the car out of the bay and handed me the keys.

These actually look pretty good. I might try some of them with my kids.
