Re: EV Thread

I can't imagine the anxiety of taking the ID Buzz on the sort of typical camping trip in Scotland we'd have done with the old camper van.

Looks nice though.

Re: The House Projects Thread

Floors are being sanded today and we're trapped upstairs by sheets of plastic - it looks like house in ET when the government swoops down. Of course poor planning and preparation is to blame. Child #2 is wondering if she could get food delivered and they'd be happy to try throwing it up through an o...

Re: The ebay thread

Are sellers genuinely just letting the eBay AI bot write listings when they're trying to sell a fvcking Ferrari??? This 2002 Ferrari 360 MODENA Coupe is a stunning example of Italian engineering at its finest. With a manual transmission and only 24000 miles on the clock, this beauty is sure to turn ...

Re: Decent Recent TV

I hear lore nerds aren't happy.... Fvck those guys. They're never happy. It's a TV show. Get over it. I think you also made the point that it's so difficult these days to read impartial, objective reviews to anything as so many sites seem to have an agenda of one sort or another. Its also funny (an...

Re: Bye bye Sturgeon

One thing's for sure, we need change and hopefully this will be another nail in the coffin of the cult-like following the SNP seems to have.

As for the alternatives....

Re: Test drive report

That colour is properly stunning. It still reminds me of the 458 which is no bad thing. Really interesting to hear your impressions, so looks like we have a winner then?

That's a lot of car for the money and sounds like a pretty good buy with the initial depreciation hit already being taken.

Re: New Car

Nice one! Has he started driving yet? Not 17 yet (3 months) but i've been keeping an eye out for anything good that turned up. Slightly early but it's a good car (hopefully) with super low miles. Definitely a good idea to do it that way and now he's ready to go. Have you got lessons booked yet?

Re: The ebay thread

Have you seen that Chris Harris has started a series on YouTube on his newly purchased M5 touring? It seems a bit of a money pit so far though! Yes, I saw that. His logic seems to be that he buys it for 25K or so, spends 10K on it... If he owns it outright in a couple of years, that's about the sam...

Yeah, I'm sure I can have a word with Mrs Mike to get her to up her game to reach that 100% mark. Data is anonymised which is good and from what I've read isn't sold or shared outwith BMW, but I'd be amazed if there's any way to opt out of this stuff these days given the software in cars and integra...

Yes, forgot to mention that "lady owner" thing, crazy that's still a thing these days, let alone in a listing like this for a V10 estate.

Re: The ebay thread

I've had an alert set for "M5 Touring" for a while but they do seem to be few and far between these days and given their age and things that can go wrong, anything without a massive pile of receipts and all the main things being would have to be very keenly priced. https://www.ebay.co.uk/i...

Re: Smartwatches

I do the same, I just chuck my Apple Watch on the charging stand at night. The Ultra version has a much better battery life and easily do a couple of days, but like the normal one, you can easily hammer the battery depending on how you use it. I switched to a Garmin for my running - its incredible t...

It just looks another utterly generic jacked-up mini suv (or whatever we're calling them these days) that every manufacturer is making.

Re: Test drive report

Turbo cars are notorious for needing new turbos aren't they. Trying to remember whether that was 993 or 996 but probably both - issuing being that they're low to the ground and get immersed in water and other shit which weld the wastegates shut IIRC. Just before I bought the M2 I came close to buyi...
