    • Welp, I did it.

      I bought the Jag, PPI looked really good so figured what the hell. Am I going to regret it? Maybe, but probably not for a very long while with any luck.

      Baring any major issues from the PPI next week, I'll be the proud owner of a 2007 XKR with 53k miles on the clock. This thing fucking slaps when you boot the skinny peddle. Hopefully there will be a few 50F-ish days with no salt before spring where I can get a drive or two in.

      Service history is pretty extensive and the current owner was very meticulous with keeping up maintenance on the car.

      @partypooper2012

      We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as sort-of-executive officer for the week -- But all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special biweekly meeting-- By a simple majority, in the case of purely internal affairs-- But by a two thirds majority, in the case of more major...

    • I scored an invite to compete in the Defender Trophy.

      Looks like I'll be heading up into Vermont mid October to compete! The winner goes on to compete in the finals in the UK.

      Still reading up on the rules but looks like the event will be a mix of driving and orienteering, probably no where near camel trophy levels for obvious reasons but this is going to be awesome!

      I should probably read up what you can and can't run on that outlet, don't want my hairdryer to short out the truck lol.

      I'll have more thoughts about what I like and what I don't like further down the line. I've only had the car for 72 hours heh.

    • Got a text from a friend today.

      He just bought a new Defender 90...

      I let him drive my 110 a few times and apparently he absolutely loved it to the point that when he was in the market for a new vehicle, he decided to get the 90.

      Hi, I'm @Bloody-the-resident-shitposting-saffer and I apparently influence people to make bad choices. heh.

    • Just got back from Vermont.

      It was fantastic, perfect time of year to see the fall colours.

      Still waiting on a few photos of the event (tried to use my V50 Elite to get videos but there were technical difficulties and we did not have the time to fix them)
      IMG20221010145752.jpg
      Our noble steed for the event, it's basically a P400 with a wrap but it had all the off road goodies. I'll do a more in depth write up on the event when I have everything but suffice it to say, we did okay...

      IMG20221011152218.jpg
      we're currently ranked 4th overall with teams competing today and tomorrow so hopefully they're taking the top 3 from every day to England (it was actually a 3 way tie for 1st but the penalties hurt us)

    • Further confirming to my neigbours suspicions that I'm a total nut case.

      Installed a fold down table on my Defenders back door.

      Promptly setup my jetboil and made coffee.

      Even went so far as to level out my truck using the rear "adjust suspension height" button. Air suspension is neat.

    • RE: Weekend wrench: brake job

      @MybirdIStheword pretty sure the kits do come with those sans the brake master. When my dad and I did the conversion on his Land Rover Series IIa we were able to get away with just using a brake booster from a Series III so there has a to be a master from another Ford you could fit in there for not a lot of money.

    • RE: Weekend wrench: brake job

      @MybirdIStheword I suppose if you're not keeping it, but you can get Ford 9 inch conversion kits for around $300 per axle these days, probably less if you just buy the brackets and get calipers from pay and pulls.

    • RE: How many Twitter users would stick around if Elon start charging?

      @gettingoldercarguy their data privacy is probably why they wouldn't be successful. The whole reason social media companies make money is because they record EVERY thing you do on the internet, package that up and then sell it to advertisers.

      You exist somewhere in a database, your name isn't attached to it but you as a person are recorded. Your age range, your birthday, your likes, dislikes, who you associate with (seriously, your location data is recorded and cross referenced with you come into contact the most frequently) ect... that is all packaged up and sold to advertisers.

      Here is an example: Jewelry designer wants to sell birthday bracelets, they'll buy ad space for women who's birthday is a certain month and all the "accounts" they are in contact with most frequently and ads will then be shown on those devices.

    • RE: How many Twitter users would stick around if Elon start charging?

      @davesaddiction Yeah, I think the problem is that nobody wanted "Yet another facebook app" on their phone. That an anything meta puts out these days runs like garbage (anyone else's Instagram messenger borked?). Ol' Zuck is another example of a rich dude buying other peoples ideas to make himself richer and when push comes to shove for him to actually try make something himself from scratch, he fails miserably.

      Mastodon is making a push but man the way they're setup isn't very intuitive. I'm not sure there will ever be another thing like Twitter and the only hope is the creditors stepping in and taking the company away from the doos.
