OV9

I think it's a terrible design but honestly I think there is a niche for a EV GT that isn't well filled. And many markets will not give a hoot about it not fitting in a UK parking space.

I’m fairly sure I am getting shafted by NFU mutual and I’m not really sure why.

£174 a month.
From gocompare the median is about £70 with outliers £45 to £140.

I’m 41, been driving since 17. Nothing on driving licence.
No-fault accidents 11 and 3 years ago. At fault 5 years ago (but I had NCB ...

Can I ask, why a Cayman and not a Boxster? I admit, I’m a tart that loves convertibles but to me it increases the sense of occasion and enjoyment.

Little girl is followed by Monkey, Porter etc and is doing it right, as you did when you were young… time to show the kids that oldies can be cool ...

Looks pretty clean, and that’s low mileage without being concerningly low. :geek:


Agreed. It's very clean, and the company seems to have a good rep.
£500 delivery or £599 warranty + £250 delivery.

Looking at the prices, my thinking is that this will hold value better even if I put ...

I’d buy that

I would even debate whether it is possible to have two separate climates in a tiny sports car which has a large heat producing engine immediately behind you.

Either way, how brave is sir feeling? You can get a GTS for similar price privately, albeit with a few more miles. There's a white one that's been driven SO HARD it's pulling tbe spoiler off!


Mmm I think it's a risk based on how well these cars stand up over the years (although probably quite ...

A little dear, although I wonder if they would be up to negotiate.

A little dear, although I wonder if they would be up to negotiate. Company has a good rep but it's a bloody long way away - they do deliver but do I want to buy a car I haven't at least kicked the tyres of?

I halved mine from going from NFU to LV.

I think some insurers spluge more on the customer services to corner that side. Eg I remember when I last had an accident my insurer picked up in minutes and had me in a taxi while my car was being picked up while the other bloke (with Admiral) was still on ...

Likewise I use Claude to adapt existing code in Python or Matlab to my own data and needs. Works well. Not as good at writing code de novo, and I think you do need to have a little bit of code knowledge to bug catch and a little bit of domain knowledge to know if it is actually doing what it says ...

Watched the first episode. Really enjoyed it. Feels like how old Top Gear used to feel when the cars were foreground and the personalities background.

I’m game

The trick is to be able to support both sides at the boat race (but know light blue always wins)

I see James Orr is associate professor of ethics (!) at Cambridge University. I wonder if he'll be sacked by the university like Jason Arday? This behaviour seems entirely incompatible with that role.

@Explosive Newt have you considered moving to Oxford instead to get away from these political ...

Lovely, how many days was your trip in the end?

The gravely lay-by with the quad looks familiar.

I'm gutted that a work project had essentially fucked me over this year, with regards to a trip to Wales or Scotland :x


Loch Sgamhain on the A890 near Strathcarron.

The trip started as a ...

Reputation? I thought so but maybe you know otherwise 😄


I've found them to be very hard taskmasters about what they will and won't cover in some circumstances... insisting things are returned to NHS or self paid etc.


Interesting. In my case they’ve gone back on a pre-authorisation.

I’ve been arguing with BUPA today so even insurers who have a good reputation can be arseholes.


Do they?

Embarking on bookshelf phase II. The previous phase involved a sliding ladder to access the higher echelons of bookshelf and as Mrs Newt is not big on height I think we will need something likewise
