    Fun car

    My F31 340i Touring with the M performance power kit is fun, 367BHP and 0-100 KPH in 4.8 secs. De badged it looks like a 320d, so not much bother from the stripey Fiesta boys! Practical too.

    Manual or Auto?

    Discovery 5 2.0l Petrol 300hp

    Most powerful mini engine currently available is 2 Lt. Cooper S JCW which is 231PS - "IF you are careful with your right foot" you might manage 31 mpg on a run. That is my experience!

    Who remembers 'Uniweld'?

    I used to use Castolin Eutectrode 680 for dissimilar steels back in the old days - Stubbs welding used to do a chrome alloy electrode as well.

    Warning to people with external postboxes

    Earlier this year I took out a new mobile phone contract at a local branch of one of the major suppliers. The following day my bank shut down my accounts and contacted me because someone was attempting to make a large payment from my account using the "Faster payments telephone scheme"...
