Ah, that makes sense, but while researching the latest in 3D printers I found it stands for Fused Filament Fabrication apparently. Keep up at the back wink

PS As regards the asterisked one, I rent, and have done since 1986. Still expensive though although no depreciation element but deprecation is evident from time to time.

If you did what the Morgan driver did in a driving test you'd fail. Says it all really......
No one can say if the pug driver was speeding or not, as been mentioned he couldn't have swerved because of the keep left island that was placed there, only options are into the ditch or risk running into the back of the Morgan even if there's a 1% chance of not hitting the Morgan youd take that risk over the 100% of going onto the ditch and damaging your car in some way

On the Morgan demographic, I have just seen a light blue Morgan with a tan hood (the hood was up) driven by a man who used to have grey hair but is now mostly bald. He was wearing what appeared to be golfer type clothing. I was in a yellow and black Dolomite Sprint, and Morgan man was trying to give me the bloke nod, but I somewhat harshly declined the nod.

Most of the time when I am driving my Sprint I offer the nod to drivers of classic cars, but most of them don't give it back. Maybe it looks too modern from the front, or they mistake it for some kind of 3 series BMW and therefore think "tosser". Or they think boy racer. I am not sure. Maybe they just think: "What a POS BL rotbox; who the fk cares?" That, of course, is the right answer, but it's a bit rich coming from people in Rileys and MGs.

Do you do any competition driving in your car?

No, because -

(1) the car is mostly standard, but with what might be called a "fast road" tune, and some very minor mods;

and

(2) I am rubbish at driving.

Again on the Morgan demographic, the only Morgan owner I know is :

(a) Under 30
(b) ethnically Ugandan.

Probably makes him unique, but shows that they are not all the same!

The Pug may or may not have been speeding but thats for the Morgan guy to gauge IMO maybe its time to hang up the flat cap hehe maybe thats why he gave it the beans in the 1st place rather than just out and out showing off scratchchin Morgan owners fault completely wink

Well, he is not bald, mostly or at all, but yes, he is a bit of a young fogey, so probably owns a flat cap, although I have not seen it.

He does live in Surrey though.
