Re: Test drive report

The irony of how long it took for someone to suggest modifying the car to fix the problem...on a car forum :lol:

Re: Your fleet running reports

£250 sounds like a good deal, got to be at least cost neutral after selling the 2bular. Deffo. The unit had never been on a car. Worth retrying the 2bular after 'fixing' it? Just in case? I know they're not cheap - but I had my eyes opened to switchable exhausts on the Alfa. Problem is that quiets ...

Re: Test drive report

Sorry Duncs - it isn’t curved but I don’t really know what to call it. The estate agent referred to it as a breezeway 😂 Matt, I haven’t won the lottery and I’m not terminally ill if that’s what you were referring to. The Buzz was a bit of a folly; my wife liked the look of it but I expected I’d fin...

Re: Test drive report

I really like the Buzz, and I've started to see a few about - especially in the commercial van style. I thought they were bringing a bigger battery version out? My boiler service bloke wanted one, as he's a big VW fan, but said the range wasn't enough for his daily duties. He said it didn't fit unde...

Re: Test drive report

I don’t want to type a TL:DR on my phone but we test drove a VW ID Buzz today and it was fabulous. But it doesn’t fit under the arch to our drive. That’s the very nice salesman doing the reflectoporn. I’ll write a bit more about it when I’m less cream-crackered. But I loved it. I'm confused - isn't...

One make forums are either "its the worst thing ever and will explode" or "It's the greatest car to ever grace the earth" and nothing inbetween.

But great news on the Emira 8-)

Re: Lotus Emira

Briefly peaked at 99 Emira's for sale on AT over the weekend apparently. :shock: Also, quote from SELOC "Out with a friend who buys and sells to the trade, he just bought a 22 Emira with just under 8k miles for 53500. So potentially under £50k by summer for sure." Jobbo like I said, rock s...

Re: Viewing a Car - POLL

Seems pointless. If I was going to nick it, I'd just drive down and either find it parked on the drive, as a postcode is a fairly small geographic area, or I'd say "OK, I'm here" and get you to send the house number and not turn up anyway.

Would that not increase the cabin noise quite a lot? I would have thought headlining plays a big part in it.

Re: Decent Recent TV

I get that creating shows based on games is difficult - you have to appeal to the existing fanbase, who know the characters, their motivations, the story and the lore, and also appeal to people who either don't know or aren't interested in where the shows roots are. For shows like The Last of Us, it...

Re: Alfa Milano

Shared platform based on "e-CMP2" so Wikipedia tells me, like the 208, Mokka, DS3 and the "Dongfeng" 8-)

It's partly the looks, plus the Alfa-nerds don't like them jumping on the SUV bangwagon and following the money.

Re: Jobbo interior

I love an S8, and the Final Edition can fetch serious money. This looks cheap, although it's got a few miles. Then I saw the interior.

Alfa Milano Jr.

Who signed this off?

They're getting mauled on socials. The Tonale sold about 6 cars (I've never seen on the road) so I expect this to sell at least 9 cars.

The trailer looked good for Fallout... fingers crossed... I've seen 1.5 episodes and it's suprisingly good - few mates who've never played the games have said how much they enjoyed it too. Colour me suprised, from the trailers I expected it to be poor. Someone make a Mass Effect TV show! (although ...

Re: Your fleet running reports

Yikes :shock: Question is, if you took it to a specialist, would it still cost £6k? I've been sleuthing around a few EV forums and noticed some high bills for repairs (but not sure out of context they're any worse than ICE), or whether it's just that we don't have the specialist knowledge yet to rep...
