Re: BBQs



HB - very cool pressie.

Is there a hole in the side of the recess? I think the official advice is that the gas bottle is stored under in the recess. But when in use, the bottle goes outside with the regulator and hose going through the hole.


No hole to feed the regulator outside. I've checked ...

Re: BBQs

I was 50 yesterday and the family chipped in to get me a gas bbq for the house as the 2 burner Spirit we have down the caravan gets used loads.

I believe Mik is a bit nostalgic about these as well. A mate had 2 105TC's, both died of rot neither of which were 10 year old!

Cant be many left never mind in this condition.

Re: Your fleet running reports



Lovely little thing and you got a load of fun use out of it.
I was considering one, and a Fiesta ST, before I went for the Swift.


The Up's are expensive, relatively, for what they are - especially compared to the alternatives. The Swift and Fiesta are arguably "better" cars, and a class above ...

Kia EV5 similar size to the Q4 but with a bigger squarer boot and opening. Also has a 3 pin plug in boot to charge scooter which is handy.

Lovely looking things as well.

Re: EV Thread

It wasn't really an issue as those temps were brief and extreme. We also rarely charge during the day.

It's not something unique to the Podpoint as there's lots of specific canopies available for EV chargers now which I would consider if these extremes became the norm.

Re: EV Thread

I've had a Podpoint Solo 3 for about 4 years with no issues other than a couple of occasions this summer when the thermal cutout prevented a charge when it was very hot. It was only a day or 2 when it was 35+ as it's on the front of house in direct sunlight.

Worked fine then in the evening when it ...

Re: Teh Spotted Thread

With a 2 year run out for those with existing arrangements. I'd previously read it was a 5 year run out which seems incorrect.

I can't imagine normal cover would be available for these cars being flown over for 6 weeks with no MOT, ved and so on. It's bizarre that it happens!

Re: Teh Spotted Thread

Until recently you could self insure in the UK with a £500k deposit. I'm unsure on the details if that covers per vehicle or per person but pretty sure you only needed to do it once and could then rely on that deposit for future use.

A few cars have been impounded this week uninsured so potentially ...

Re: Raleigh

Their modern stuff always seemed to be behind the curve and a lot more expensive than similar looking Chinese or own brand Halfords stuff so not really surprising :(

My dad still rates them just because his last road bike was a Raleigh Banana circa 1990 :lol:
