Flicking through old copies of Mini World mag. Wondering what happened to "Bogus" - their early 90's project car ...

 

the original one was finished raced and driven untill it was stolen from a show, stripped of expensive parts, dented and bent up and then dumped on the side of a moor and burnt the holy hell out of.  quite sad actually!

It was kicked if I remember correctly, hence why Bogus 2 was built a few years back by minisport.

 

What do you mean it was kicked? Doe that mean sold or something?

 

just means they gave up with it

 

Ah. So what happened to it ....?

 

 

Soz I screwed up, what I meant was it was nicked (as In stolen) from crystal palace around 94 ish.

I have a circuit board that I built to test next week. I don't do electrics as I am a mechanical engineer so lets just say my confidence of it working is low/realistic.

 

For no good reason I came up a rhyme to sing while testing it (sing this to the tune of pop goes the weasel)

 

One home made circuit board,

20 amps of current,

One small electrical short,

BANG goes the MOSFET.

 

NOTHING WENT BANG!!! YAAAAAY  :lol:

 

Why do people watch an item on ebay with a buy it now price and bid on it at the last minute? An auction fair enough but not a fixed price item.

 

Why do people get annoyed when they make an offer on one of my ebay items and I reject. Sending me a message saying that it isn't worth that and you have no idea what its worth, etc, etc, isn't going to make me lower the price. What you really mean is that "I am cheap and I'm not prepared to pay the price that you have advertised it at". Fair enough but that's your problem, not mine.

 

The most expensive item I have on ebay at the minuet is an MTX75 gearbox at £40 so most the stuff people are haggling over is around the £10 mark.

It's when they begrudgingly buy the item at the listed price but then give you c**p feedback to get revenge that really aggravates.

I've had that. I also don't get why sellers can't leave feedback. Ebay said it was because sellers were leaving it in revenge for bad feedback they received. No. We leave it for someone who left us bad feedback when they give us no chance to rectify a fault and/or when they make false claims to try and get the item and their money back.

 

Some buyers are complete a**holes. I should be able to warn the rest of the world.

 

It would be a better idea for ebay to have 2 feedback scores. One for selling and one for buying. The only reason I don't have 100% is because I sell stuff. Someone who never sells an item but is still a complete pain in the a*** when buying still gets a score of 100%

Burnard asked a while ago if plastic dinosaurs that are made from oil are actually made from real dinosaurs.

 

I said at the time no but that might not necessarily be true as Randall Munroe will explain:

Not just the way you look mate.

 

My brother has a really high voice (he is 30) and all the way through secondary school he was bullied because of it. Now he has so many friends (some of which used to take the piss) who love him because of it and they now defend him against others who choose to take the michael.

 

He sings on karaoke often and everyone supports him because at least he has the balls to do it despite his high voice.
