Re: Your fleet running reports

My first i3 I bought during COVID as I needed a runaround and fancied a try in an EV. I really enjoyed it so ordered the s which upped the fun stakes. They were bought to try something new and really worked for me so no regrets. My wife's Sportage will likely be replaced with an EV in the next 12 mo...

Re: Your fleet running reports

spec? 👍🏻 (I've now warmed to them!) Poverty in Toronto Red with Black Vernasca interior with M accents. Only option I would have liked was a heated steering wheel but you have to buy the comfort pack at £750 which means you get comfort access which I specifically don't want. https://i.ibb.co/hytMx2...

Re: Your fleet running reports

I'm also back on the 2v1 car debate now I'm back down to about 6k/year. I like the idea of just having one nice, do-it-all car (like a Giulia QF) but then...it seems pointless to have something decent to commute when I spend most of my time sitting in M6 traffic. I've been bleating about buying som...

As proof I (we) really don’t understand women, this one has been messaging me more in the last few days than she did whilst dating, making it sound like this was a push for more commitment (??) and so we are meeting up for a chat later.. maybe she reads this forum!? 🤣 Tl;dr - woman be crazy!

Re: Harry’s Garage

He did say it's torque limited in 1st and 2nd gear which I assume would mitigate some clutch wear.

Re: Your fleet running reports

Motorhome finally sold last week. It was a spur of the moment purchase early 2022 after 7 years of touring caravans and although great fun we never used it enough to justify having nearly £50k sat in it. Not sure if it is luck or they are always financially good news but it only depreciated £2k over...

Re: Today’s want

It looked a right handful in the Harry video and can't imagine anyone ever got out of a new M2 and felt it lacking power lol

Re: Today’s want

The G series cars have a chunkier transmission tunnel which seems to dwarf the manual lever.

The last M2 was a peach in terms of size and set up😎

Re: The House Projects Thread

We've been waiting on a bathroom fitter for 6 months. I checked in with him early March to make sure he was on track for late April start and now he's not returning calls and I believe he's blocked me and the wife lol

So frustrating!

Re: Woman

It's important to remember it's ok to be single as well. You're not defined by being in a relationship.

When my wife leaves me as I'm a dickhead rather than berating me for it I'm going solo for a bit.

Re: HMRC Automated Phone System

I believe they were not manning the phone lines until September but have announced a U-turn yesterday.

Clearly a ridiculous policy given it was nearly impossible to get through last year when they were open!

Re: EV Thread

Looking at replacing Mrs Holley's i3 as almost had it 6 years and done 83k. Battery warranty runs out at 100k miles and is a mild concern. Although she loves it, this long period of windy days has reminded her how rubbish it is in crosswinds on dual carriageways. Looked at all the potentials (has t...

Re: BBQs

Dancook do a load of variable height grills. I've had one and it lasted 10 years outside with no cover and my mate has had a couple forever for kebabs/tepenyaki .

They are great but pretty specific in what they can do though.
