    Cancelled flights & waivers due to Cyclone Alfred

    All these computer predictions seem to forget about butterflies. While media is getting somewhat excited, now even suggesting 2-3 days without power, it doesn’t hurt to be prepared. We are scheduled for three days on GC next week so who knows what the butterflies will do by then, but expect one...

    So... what car do you guys drive when not flying?

    Think I’ve decided on an EQA 250+ with some mysterious Plus package. Or might just buy 3 BYD Seals for same price, but I still think of seals clapping their paws/arms together which is strange name for a car. Negotiations re tradein, very low offer so far as expected, and seems only one car...

    So... what car do you guys drive when not flying?

    Not quite correct. Adaptive speed control generally, IME on multiple vehicles, warns you of the change of speed limit but you have to actively manually correct the speed or at least press the active speed button to get it to adopt the new speed limit. Some better systems have adaptive speed and...

    Ecovacs X5 pro arrived. Very happy with it. Vac and mop, raises mop over carpet, good mopping, good vac, quieter than older iRobot i7. Videos of progress etc. Much better navigation and doesn’t bash into things like old one.

    Tax should be based on annual mileage, not fossil fuels or electrons. With double cost for US tanks.

    Is that not what I said? Be more of a worry if he was driving an Elon car.

    Decisions decisions... I've asked colleague in Germany to see if he can get the injector seals and pipe from Germany and air mail them out to me rather than wait 8 weeks for local Mercedes dealer. Still considering in the BYD Seal (relatively cheap and good battery design) and looking maybe at...

    So... what car do you guys drive when not flying?

    Started with a 203 mate, then two 403s, 404 etc. But 6-8 weeks for injection seal for Mercedes plus outrageous pricing says a lot about availability. For our Fiat 128 we bought clutch cables from Italy and kept one in boot. Availability of Chinese parts should be much better and can be delivered...
