Perhaps I wasn't clear enough - I've seen it happening plenty of times as the traffic was just moving off and some numbskull would come charging up on the inside, little knowing or caring if the truck was turning left. Regarding the buses... waiting at a bus stop in Princes St, Edinburgh, I was...

I was seriously considering HK lipo packs, but the sheer pita of unhooking, hooking up, being bloody careful all the time, just put me off. I went for Bosch Fatpacks instead. Cheap-ish, simple, one charger, no fire, no explosion, no unhooking, no BMS, more or less fit and forget, and easily...

If you were charged import duty and VAT on a camera that was sent back to you after repair or modification, you should demand a refund.

I've honestly lost count of the number of cyclists I've seen going up the inside of trucks waiting at lights. Whatever happened to common sense? The loss of a few seconds caused by hanging back in line with the tail of the lorry is as nothing compared to the (literal) end-of-life scenario that...

They won't get a chance - some jobsworth will be along to shout, "Oi, you can't do that 'ere!"

Best make ultra sure the batteries in the gizmo are up to snuff.

Reminds me of Colin Chapman's mantra - "Lighten it until it breaks, then dial back a bit." Frankly, the designer of that thing should hang his head in shame.

Now that's interesting. Much cheapness for a back-up spare pack.

50mm Celotex (available as seconds for half price) 12mm ply lining, Bob's Yerunkle.

I've used 7-Dayshop batteries in my Canon 10D for years and they've been fine. I will say though, that the OE Pentax battery that came with my K10D is now 4 years old and still soldiering on like a good'un. When it dies I'll have no hesitation in replacing it with a clone. Some clones are better...

Who can drive a 3-wheeler... note the reverse gear law was dumped in 1963, even further back than I thought it was. UK Laws

Oddly, this thread keeps popping up with the last recent reply by Eddie, which is gone when I go to look at it. It's been doing this for a couple of days.

It goes by weight more than anything else - the reverse gear thing fell by the wayside years ago. Not suprising, given the quality of construction :)

Makes me glad I'm in the middle of nowhere, where the coppers are asleep most of the time. :)

I was giving serious thought to making a NiMH pack from batteries supplied by component-shop Home These are less than 6quid each, in quantity... VTE10000D And the low self-discharge option is attractive, but it's max discharge isn't... IN8000D ... though I suspect it's a typo and should be...

I wish I hadn't watched all of BSG in one fell swoop at the beginning of the year - now, if there was something as good as that out there I didn't know about, I'd be made up.

I've been relatively impressed by it so far, but I'm a sucker for space opera. :) I see Caprica's hit the skids (again).

Nice build. Just keep an eye on the front dropouts.

Very interested in that. Seller's feedback is crap, though.
