I think so. Rightly or wrongly I think of them as semi-professional, a step up from DIY grade. @V8Granite is my tool guru, I'd appreciate his opinion on this

Re: Jack envy
Never tried one, but the 150mm low-height would put me off (and the 400mm fully-raised height isn’t that impressive either). I meant in addition to a regular jack, not instead of. Times where you need to jack something in the middle of the car and don't have room to crank a normal jack handle up &a...
Re: Jack envy
How's everybody's jacks doing ? My Costco/Arcan one has finally pissed me off enough that I want to replace it. The main cylinder leaks and the small one keeps sticking so I have to prise it back out with a screwdriver almost every time. Because all my cars are shit and broken all the time I seem to...

I'm already getting some scope creep, there was a worthwhile upgrade to the nav/infotainment in 2016, and a 2016 model is not happening for £15k...

Re: Your fleet running reports
If you're still looking at the end of the year let's stay in touch as mine may be heading for pastures new. It's a lovely spec (SDV8, Vogue SE, opening pan roof, deployable tow bar), serviced by JLR and under warranty. Probably worth high 30s currently but I'd rather sell it to you than a randomer....

Re: Your fleet running reports
Got your eyes set on anything in particular, or are you waiting for the gods of eBay and Half Decent Wine to get together and make you regret your life choices? This is also quite possible 😂 A newer Cayenne or a Merc GL are on the reserve list. There’s a box of Co-op Pinot Grigio in the fridge. Che...

Re: Your fleet running reports
Indeed. Currently obsessing with specs of L405 Range Rovers. In theory one of those would cover the roles of both Cayenne & Bentley.

Re: Your fleet running reports
Bentley provisionally sold, to be collected some time next week.
The Cayenne needs a scrub up & a new MOT, then that can go up for sale too.
I'm behaving myself at the moment and waiting until both are gone before I buy anything new.

Re: People (Office)
...why did we all decide that we wanted to go back to it? I don't think we did. I certainly didn't :lol: In our group we try to all go into the office on Thursdays. We don't have allocated desks so we all sit in a conference room for the day. It's useful to be able to go through stuff face to face,...

Re: The ebay thread
Far and away the cheapest manual 360 I’ve seen. I don’t want to say suspiciously cheap, and there’s no immediate alarms going off, but it’s very cheap. The next cheapest manual is an extra £17,500 and it’s a spider.

Re: Your fleet running reports
Compare cost of filters etc. with these guys on eBay. They’re my go-to for everything except oil.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/carpartsinmotion
I get oils from here. Not sure why their feedback looks bad, I’ve had zero problems with them.

Re: Teh Spotted Thread
Just around the corner from here. I went past it about 3pm yesterday when it had clearly only just happened - traffic stopped & people standing around. This photo is today. I’m not even sure how they managed to do it. It’s not a fast piece of road. Looks like they bounced off the tree and slid b...
