Aquaplaning is dangerous thing real.

Well, under the right conditions, it can also be a metric ****-ton of fun.

Aquaplaning is dangerous thing real. But, yes he should not be in the right lane.

While I agree, in my experience of driving in the rain, there is more danger from those driving too slowly than those driving too quickly. Especially in right hand or fast lanes.

Except when those travelling in the right hand side come past you going backwards after hitting water and losing it.

Impossible if you are on the right hand side all the time

I have honestly never been in that situation though to be serious.

Happened to me in the 3rd lane an Audi came past backwards. The ESP and other systems working extremely hard to try sort out the drivers shyte. Luckily the highway was relatively quiet. But the drivers eyes were bigger than the steering wheel.

ESP, ABS, EBD, etc. can only help so much and once you are going backwards you would probably benefit more from praying.

That's the future grave for all the VAG enthusiasts on this here forum

There's a nagapie (or bushbaby) living somewhere in my garden. Seen and heard it a few times the last couple of years. Tonight I saw it on the roof and it was carrying a baby nagapie in its mouth so now there's a little one too. Cutest buggers.

Definitely don't want a whole family of the things living here and I don't know if they carry diseases or whatever but oh well...

Not the best photo, but DVD playback on my 4k TV still looks surprisingly good.

Modern upscaling is really good, I see it as well when sometimes, YT will default to 720p and then upscale it to 4K on my TV. It's obviously not as crisp as 1080p and up but it's not half bad most of the times

Got a quote of £900 to fit a towbar to our car.
Bugrthat.

Bought one online for £280 delivered, and spent 3 hours this morning with spanners and dremels

Yeah it really is amazing, I mean this is 576p upscaled 8 times and only on when it moves over numbers can I see pixelation

Nice. Speaking of towbars, I actually received the key for my towbar on the A4 (the previous owner had lost them) from ReplacementKeys.co.uk the other day. Only cost 3 quid for the key and 3 quid for shipping. It's not the original Westfalia key, but it works all the same. This pleases me because now I can fit the car into the tandem garage

I did consider a removable one, but budget is a little tight...
