My pharmacy loans the 24hr monitoring bp machine (no charge) if GP asks for it and you get your meds through that pharmacy.

I went caffeine free for a few years by drinking Rooibos (red bush) as it's naturally caffeine free.

Re: Zero emission road vehicles.


The downside is that depending hon how much power you want, it will only do between 2 and 20 laps of Silverstone GP (3.66 miles).


If one were experienced enough two laps of Silverstone on full power would be absolutely thrilling.

I have seen clips of this car at Goodwood, but I did not know anything about it, I do now. :)

Am I missing something ?

GM70 is 20v @ 3A = 60W x 2 = 120W

It was sad to hear about Colin.

A true master in the woodwork department, and others.

He will be sorely missed.

MCRU no 127 speakers.

I've done a deal with David for his no127 speakers, and I collected them from his shop in Elland this afternoon.

For anyone unfamiliar with them see the HFW report here. Mine are not the ones tested, and are finished with black stain.

Cant help thinking acf2 but that has no gain does it?
Is that what drove the 833a amp you and Nick made for Owston a few years ago ?

If so I'd be interested to see the circuit details.
