Re: Project Binky

That's just mad. They've taken around £100-180k for doing nothing at all (that we can see)?

I'll set up a Patreon too and you can all pay me to not make videos.

Re: EV Thread

Something which surprised me, the new Renault Scenic SUV (wait wasn’t the Scenic a shitty people carrier?) now looks like a VW Golf - weighs only 1917kg with a 87kwh battery - which I reckon makes it the lightest car with such a high capacity battery. However. Why the fuck would you still make it F...

I'm not sure it fits his MO. MINI aside the interior volume of the A2 is less than the engine displacement of his other cars.

Re: Selling Cars Privately

Slight topic twist, which of the dealer options is best/easiest to deal with? FiL is wanting to sell his car (62 plate Mk6 Golf Match 1.4TSi DSG w/70k miles) as he'll probably have to give up driving due to health issues. Either way it is a second car that spends most days sat unused in front of the...

Re: EV Thread

Parkers must be showing old data - BMW’s own site shows the new shape 530e to be 2080kg. The new 520i non-hybrid is 1800kg. I did wonder if Parkers simply wasn't up to date. So the new 5 phev is 300kg heavier than the outgoing model? I assume that's a bigger battery then and more like a proper phev...

Re: Full Fibre

I upgraded to Vodafone FF yesterday. Had been waiting for Community Fibre for several years, but last time I checked their message had gone from "nearly there" (borne out by the stickers on the cabinets around here) to "jog on", so I gave up and just upgraded my Vodafone copper t...

That's awful. Looks like it was built by someone with very limited metalworking skills. "Just make it flat and square. It'll be fine".

Re: Decent Recent TV

One Day (Netflix) Set on July 15th over twenty years it follows the story of Emma and Dexter as their lives together and apart unfold on that one day, the rest of the year you have to infer. It is very good and definitely worth a watch. There's what feels like genuine chemistry between the two, and...

I assume you've tried just cleaning the jets? :P
I'm not getting a response from the motor when trying to wash the rear - like at all - so I doubt that'll help!
Yeah I assumed as much!
As an aside you probably shouldn't wash your rear with screen wash. A bit harsh on the skin.

Re: Your fleet running reports

It works well I think. If you want to take it too far, then do a headliner and inner arch liners in the same material. The latter will need some kind of protective covering obviously.

Re: Today’s want

My friend's brother bought the 306 RG brand new in 90something. It was quite a nice thing and the green/cream looked very nice. Compared to his other car (SII 88" land rover) it was positively decadent, although not as nice as his dad's Alfa 156 V6.
