    Avocet replied to the thread Speed detection displays.
    I hadn't noticed that, to be honest. Radar (and sound and optical-based) systems tend to suffer from "cosine error". But this should...

    Avocet replied to the thread 0W20 vs 0W30 oil.

    Avocet replied to the thread What Small Van.
    What sort of payload do you need, and could you charge at home if it was an EV? Does it ever do long runs?

    Yes, it's absolutely filthy. But not trying to do anything about traffic pollution because the air quality in the underground is poor...
