How many gallons of oil did your car use? 😁 Still a good looking car, shame Jag have lost their way

Re: BBQs

I’m in the market for a decent quality Charcoal BBQ but the choices are really limited. There are the ceramic types, well north of a grand and you’ve got your Webber’s (but I already have one of those) An absolute must have feature is a coal rack or a cooking rack that’s height adjustable but as I ...

Re: Your fleet running reports

Just passed 10k in the Kuga, averaged 81.7 MPG overall since I've had it, no creaks, rattles or issues, it's been a superb car, I'd certainly recommend one as a family car. Massive boot, loads of space in the car, great seats, stereo, and it even manages to be quite fun to drive. If I ordered again...

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...

Re: Test drive report

Agree with RichB; it’s good someone is not just making an SUV etc.. Subjectively, it is a good looking car, and I hope they go for wafting GT as opposed to max attack road legal race car, and the doors opening that way work much better with our stupid parking bay sizes(but let’s not go there again!)...

Re: Test drive report

Sat in a dark red 1st Edition yesterday and it is very nice although seats were a bit flat and there’s a weird bolt/hole on the front of the gearstick that I would find annoying.. maybe a quick fix though. Handily there was a row of Aston, Porsche, Lotus (and Auto vivendi).. so went straight from th...

Re: Test drive report

@Jobbo are you going to try the Emira i4? Think it would be an interesting comparison No, really not interested in that version. It feels like the basis for a future hybrid version while the V6 makes a nice noise and has a lovely supercharger whine/howl when you clog it. Furry muff.. I’m an old f*v...

Re: Viewing a Car - POLL

Yes, but are they going to break into 7 houses looking for the key to your car? Like I said, it just makes it more effort for them and they tend to go for the easiest option

Re: Viewing a Car - POLL

It’s just another level of effort that a potential thief has to employ and, as they tend to go for the easiest option, I can understand why people would do that.

Re: Car Hire Lottery

Not sure if this car is broken, my 740d was pretty much the same engine with a higher tune in a bigger car and would do 40+ for the same journey, even my 550 will do between 17 and 20 mpg, even in traffic. https://i.ibb.co/g6x0vDB/IMG-0699.jpg Hire car innit.. also, I’ve always thought you can get ...

Re: Lotus Emira

35000 Elises were produced over 25 years, just over 6500 Evoras over 11 years, and they sold 3500 Emiras last year with a target of 6000 this year.. should certainly be more choices second hand, not so confident about future values
