Re: Car Hire Lottery
That does look shit, but 12 miles at an average of 14mph in sport mode - were you driving into central Birmingham? Just an average day in Bromsgrove, it didn’t manage much better than mid 20s on the motorway. I mentioned it to enterprise and they said they had noticed the same. All the more reason ...

Re: Test drive report
Interesting reading as I am also planning a similar shopping list. If I could go out and buy either a GRMN Supra or a Z4M with the M4 engine in, I probably would find it difficult to choose between those 2. But as its little more than a rumour right now, and as I cant afford a 992 Turbo, I have been...

Re: Your fleet running reports
My BMW is back within 48 hours of throwing an error, which Im quite happy about. BMW Oldbury are very different compared to Worcester. A coolant seal had failed leading to leaking onto one of the injectors, a bank of 4 has been replaced and the seal fixed, amongst other things. The car defiantly fee...

Re: Car Hire Lottery
The 'luxury' range from enterprise is a bottom of the range 530d
Its probably worse jumping from the same car in the range as its impossible not to do a direct comparison.

Re: Your fleet running reports
Bet they charge the thick end of £100/hr for that level of kwalitee service, too... And the rest. My local non-specialist general purpose garage is £80+VAT. The 2 year oil change service is circa £300, they actually gave it for free after all the hassle and issues. Technical has diagnosed a fault w...

Re: Your fleet running reports
As a true IT professional, I switched it off for 10 mins and switched it back on, hoping it would go away but expecting the engine to explode. And it happens it started up with a very lumpy idle and I decided to take it home and call assist. It's been into BMW Worcester a few times now, seemingly ev...

Re: Today’s want
Arguably overpriced, but looks like a very good job done, unlike some of the conversions I’ve seen. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/135000218769

Re: Test drive report
I still havent driven a a110, probably should avoid doing so. I think that I would want the R but it feels way to expensive for what it is. I think that Id prefer an Alfa 4C, used prices for 2018/19 cars are pretty similar. The Mazda is a lot of car for the money and seems like there are a lot of ca...

Re: Your fleet running reports
Have you driven a a110 Jobbo? I had my car in for alignment last week and the garage also had an awesome looking a110r belonging to https://www.instagram.com/alpine_life110. Not sure I could justify an alpine but seeing another up close has got me thinking.

Re: Your fleet running reports
John, remind me - is that a current shape MX5? I had thought that was my safest option for running costs and reliability (against an A110 and a 992) but I’m not sure I like these stories. Maybe another mk1 would be the right answer 😄 From the buyer of mine, which I find difficult to believe from a ...

Re: Your fleet running reports
I have treated the m550 to ac schnitzer suspension, I was impressed with the same upgrade on the z4 and initial impressions are positive. There is a national speed limit lane locally with a bumpy poor surface, that really shows up cars if you are doing more than 45, it’s a good yard stick and the ca...
