Re: Today’s want

Sat behind an Audi RS in rude green at lights earlier in the week, looked good. Quick browse on trader and it's ruined my lust, it's an etron. New ones listing for 135+k, 1 year old, low mileage in the 60k range ;)

Re: OV9 Political Party

Complete clean up of 'social protection' - circa 30% total annual govt. spend. Send the scroungers out to work or military service, and a Franklin Covey bank account approach in where you can only get out what you've put in. MP & Lord tax & re-coup all of the millions they have amounted from...

Re: Your fleet running reports

As my wife is struggling more and more with mobility, getting in and out of a tiny little twingo was becoming more difficult by the day. Also living with such a small vehicle as your only car was not always without issue. So to that end it’s been replaced, but as it’s a “white goods” purchase it’s ...

Re: Your fleet running reports

Booked my 550i into BMW Worcester for its first service, pre-booked a wait slot as its basically oil and filters. After an hour, they apparently, encountered an issue with my key. 10 mins later, they said they needed to rebook me as they had ran out of pollen filters. It did seem rather odd as it’s...

Re: Your fleet running reports

Superb update. Boring but brill family car, only downfall has been dipped beam being rather shite. I put some Osram night breakers in at weekend, what a mission (wheel arch liners off and crud scissor clips); much better but still aimed a little low. Thanks to a flat-ish Aldi car park I have adjuste...

YOLO, Evora or RCF. Evora will be an event every drive, other two maybe not so much.

Re: FPN advice

Haha, thought that looked familiar. I drove through in the correct central lane marked buses only as it looked ridiculously narrow. I appealed on the basis of it being of bad design and received an apology and had my fine overturned. In reality they sent me the picture of me driving through the midd...

Re: Coincidences

Agreed, really winds me up, more worried for the kids than myself. The number of times I've had to clear it off bike wheels and shoes.. It's usually the same culprits and with the early evenings it's even worse. Funny I had the same idea to follow home and push through letter box, unfortunately not ...

Genuine or "genuine"?
I am not sure how they can sell for £20 but it has worked for me without issues, registers, updates etc. Appears genuine. :D

Re: Specificationize a PC

Agreed on an NVME vs. SSD, no brainer.

Is an i7 worth it over i5 these days, unless doing encoding etc? Depends on price diff as well. Mid range between AMD and Intel price difference seems to have disappeared (I'm on an 5600x) so take your pick.

Re: EV Thread

Some relatively decent deals through work <300pm net for an MG or Nissan ev fully maintained, insurance etc. Even a Merc EQB works out circa 400pm.

Taking run costs, fuel (£160~pm ) & depreciation of current motor into account it can't be far off working out favourable.

Quite a few threads on it & challenges getting the car into neutral before dragging onto loader and needing a BMW mechanic to come out..
