Solar bath

I usually stick to the shower when I come back from a hard day biking. But today I was feeling a bit groggy, the water was at 61C so I had a bath. Still loads of hot water left over and my boiler hasn't been used for about two weeks. What's going on? It's only April and I live in Scotland! Solar wat...

The Pret van is the Mutt's nuts. I could see my beagles travelling in that.

It's got me thinking again!!!

Cool. That's the dog's dangly bits :)

Nice car too. How about converting it to an EV, I'm guessing it's nice'n'light.

Other than the suspension problems it was great. Very comfy over long distances, regularly used it for 300 mile round trips.

Had a multispace before it and it was so well thought out. Would be great to see an Electrique multispace, would be much more useful than all the other electric city cars.

How reliable is the Electrique? I had a Berlingo Diesel for a while and it chewed up suspension bits like nothing I've ever owned before! Snapped all four springs and had to replace the drop links about every eight months.

Maybe I had my usual bad!

Here's a link to a scan of the article. Good reading from the part titled "Pulling from the front" :)

Thanks. No problem with timing because we were snowed in and the electrician never made it.

Car charging from wind generator

Thought I'd ask here since I'm useless at working out this kind of stuff. I've an electrician coming over tomorrow evening to discuss hooking a wind generator up to the house wiring. I was wondering how much power I'd use to charge an Enfield (or similar) so I know what size of kit to buy. Thanks.
