OV9

So now I seem to be spending hours comparing EV home chargers :?

We are currently with British Gas on their fixed until feb 27 tariff but have started to look elsewhere in preparation for a switch. BG do their own EV tariff which would be the easy switch but now looking at Octopus. Octopus seem ...

I pass my Evo/Car/Classic and Sportscar on to a couple of teenage lads a few doors away. They are struggling to buy noisier exhaust systems for their hatchbacks currently. (I vaguely remember that stage).


That's a great idea thanks, I'll have a look on the local car groups if anybody wants them ...

Yep it is certainly a beautiful place ( even when it rains ).
We live just outside Buxton and are surrounded by hills and fabulous walking routes. Bakewell is a bit touristy for us but there’s decent places for food / tarts to get you ready for a walk around Chatsworth.

Well we’ve bitten the bullet and decided to go E.V. After a lot of consideration and also trudging around lots of different dealers we chose a Cupra Born for the replacement to our Cupra Ateca.


I know two people with Cupra Borns - including AndyW of this former parish - both of whom speak ...

Well we’ve bitten the bullet and decided to go E.V. After a lot of consideration and also trudging around lots of different dealers we chose a Cupra Born for the replacement to our Cupra Ateca.

As it’s technically my wife’s car she chose the car she wanted from the short list of ‘acceptable ...

As there’s no takers does anybody on here want them for free ?
If you want to do a charity donation that’d be great but does somebody just want to collect them for nowt ?

I’m having a clear out and getting rid of approximately 70 old issues of Evo. They are mainly subscriber edition covers.

Numbers 338 - 282, 277 - 272, 249, 232,231,222,217,215,209.
Issue 117

Also Octane 255 - 260

There’s plenty of collections for sale on EBay but they’re all lots of £££

I’d ...

Not the normal traffic jam we normally get in the High Peak

I started a degree course probably 10 years ago with the OU. I did the initial access course and then started a Psychology with counselling degree.
I lasted approx 3 years ( just under half way) before it all became to much. My grades were great ( couple below distinction for 1st year) but my MH ...

Had only heard 1 of their songs until a few months ago. Whilst I was out of work I caught up on a lot of festival coverage on the TV and happened to watch Nothing but thieves at Reading. Now seem to be listening to them a lot! Not sure where they fit genre wise as I listen to so many different ...

Ta for the replies & advice. Despite our moaning about his treatment ( and his lack of sleep) he ventured off to work. When he arrived he was told by the manager that there was no work for him and he shouldn't even be in ! Luckily he's only got a couple of shifts to go before he finishes on Friday ...

It does sound a mixed up set of rules with various get out clauses for employers.

He used to work Mon, Thurs, and Friday 5.15pm till midnight. Its only a summer job while he's home from uni so it fitted in fine ( even though we have to taxi him the 20mins each way evey day!) .
On a Thursday he was ...

Eldest son works for a local supermarket. They're working 5 1/4 hours until midnight on Sunday, can they be told tonight they are back in work the following day ( Monday) at 9am until 3pm ? I'm not sure on the legality of it as it's P/T hours.

Not tempted to DIY it if he knows what he wants already?

Ok, the savings aren’t huge but gives you more freedom with cosmetics and upgrade paths.


We decided against that option pretty quickly. If I had more time then I'd like to be a custom PC but also with it being for Uni work I didn't want ...

Our youngest is off to Uni soon to study Computer Science. He's going to need a new PC for his studies / gaming and has been looking at his options. PC Specialist seem to be the place he wants to get one from but when I've spoken to them theres no discounts / promo codes available. Considering he'll ...

'm not sure which is more annoying, having to click on a D.M link or the clueless wifes commentary in the clip!

We had 2 defender pouches and a Faraday box ( from the AA or RAC I thnk?) ready and waiting for when we got the Cupra.
It's now just become a habit to lock the car, keys in pouch and then pop the pouch etc into the Faraday box.

Didn't know the pouches will degrade over time so will invest in new ...

Can anyone recommend an online number plate place? Plates on the Galaxy are looking distinctly tired and the rear one is curving out.


Similar to this, does anybody have any experience / links to replace old dealer branded plates ? Want to tidy up an old Volvo as the plates are milky and cracked ...

Lookers Stockport? Fucking shite IME. That's who I got the 197 with and they were terrible.

When the wife gave up waiting for the Volvo clowns down the road to get her into her pre-booked test drive of an S80 T8, we moohced up the road to Lookers for a look at the Skodas. After liking the Superb ...

So back in February we enquired about getting rid of our Polo Gti (DSG) that we'd had for 3.5years. Far too small for a weekly shop let alone the removal team duties with kids being at Uni! It was fun, nippy and obv being a VW fanboy it ticked that box. However far too small for us and the ride was ...
