Thorium reactors have been going to save the world for years, not much has happened.

John, I have just checked the bookings and you are down on the list of "Redeemed Bookings" so you should have had an email from them with your passes as an attachment.
Did you check your Junk files?

The full list of participants on their website is as follows:

Redeemed bookings

1. Pete Pearson
2. Ashley Cooper
3. Andrew Ross
4. John Anastasio
5. Matthew Pilcher
6. Alan Burt
7. Andrew Carter

Approved but not redeemed applications

8. Joe Knight

"approved but the driver still needs to redeem their pass"

You need to go onto the booking site and complete the process. (PM sent to you)

Entry times for club display vehicles from 07:30 to 08:30

Although it says bookings closed on 1 August, when I went to their website just now it appeared that last minute bookings were still possible. ( 12 spaces available)

Could have been me, often on A12 between Colchester Chelmsford Southend.

Not me Matthew, I come from completely the opposite direction.

The main thing is to get there early before the gates get congested, about 08:00 to 08:30 is what I normally aim for

edit There is a map of the site layout with the email you would have received from Brands Hatch. E3 is a grass site if I remember right.

Thorium Molten Salt Reactors. I wonder if they sound good?

I just watched this video (it's a good channel if you don't know it BTW) and thought I'd post it up given the recent conversations on alternative power sources for cars. On the face of it, it certainly looks like a potentially workable solution held back by politics and profit... I've also been replaying Fallout 4 so I'm kinda biased at the moment...

That's the qualification we had to do. Or possibly part of it.

Well, I bottled my lager a week ago and put one in the fridge yesterday, ready to try when I got home from work this morning (been working nights).

Didn't really fancy trying it when I got home though, so have just carefully poured one now.

For my first attempt and the cheaper cost of making it, I must say that it's not too bad

Not great, but not horrible either and acceptable to drink

It has a bit of a bitter taste to it, but fairly happy with my first attempt

Safety is not being completely ignored, but the information flow is very slow, considering the take up and the legislation is lagging behind.

HSE on EV's

Our electrical infrastructure is governed by a set of regulations BS7671. These regulations ensure we adhere to a common practice for electrical infrastructure. This includes, installation, training for those and who can work on the infrastructure, and that we also undertake take regular tests and inspections. I know that the new 18th edition has amendments for EV chargers but I've not noticed anything to do, specifically, with vehicles.

We have manufacturers delivering training on EV's but there does not seem to be any recognised standard, or nationally recognised qualification on the matter. I do hope we don't wait for deaths to indicate we need some standards!

Apropos of nothing in particular: http://www.lasko.eu/en/zlatorog is rather nice and particularly after flying in ground temperatures in the mid-thirties

That would require that the cruise control be linked directly to the braking system. I'm not sure that's a good idea.

Although to be fair, I'm pretty down on the vast majority of driver aids. If you want the car to do all the work (I firmly believe on no evidence whatsoever except my old fogey prejudices that drivers rely on the aids working rather than actually (e.g.) looking out of the window before changing lanes) why didn't you just take a train? Fixed speed cruise control is fine; it's as easy to turn it off (four ways: the off switch, the temporary disable, the brake pedal, and the clutch pedal) as it is to turn it on.

Lane following? Not interested.

Yesterday I drove from a tiny village in Slovenia to a tiny village near Potsdam in Germany - four countries in one day, and at the beginning in storm weather so bad that Italian drivers were moving no faster than 15kph!

Certainly not a UK option
