But with less chance of getting shot. https://creative.bfbs.com/sites/creative.bfbs.com/files/2023-11/UK%20Defence%20Ranks%20explained%20by%20BFBS%20Creative%20Combined.pdf

Re: FTAO EV owners - possible action required before end of March-24

I can't say I've ever tried it, but can you really re-tax your car when the existing tax hasn't run out ? I'd always rather assumed it needs to be SORNed or already expired or else "computer says no" because it doesn't need taxing. Yes - I followed the above process this morning. Mrs mik'...

It's not road tax, and hasn't been for a very long time.

There seems to be a whole subculture of jacked up Smarts, they keep cropping up in my feed. I don’t get it. I can’t believe they’re any good off road.

Re: So I done a thing the weekend (very slow race content)

Yay ! Surprisingly difficult isn’t it ? Getting soundly thrashed by some old bloke in a shitty micra who’s been doing stuff like this for decades really opens your eyes to how bad your own driving is.

That’s ... broken. Which/where/why? :? Well the rear suspension doesn’t look too healthy and I’m immediately suspicious of it not being UK registered. Expecting a “just needs <xxx> for MOT easy job” from the seller :lol: Also the interior is shagged and at 150k miles the whole thing is going to be ...

That’s horrible and disgusting and broken.

Not sure that’s appropriate on a private ambulance ? Unless they’ve previously determined the wishes of the deceased.

Interesting thing though, putting the Porsche on with Admiral, their default mileage of 10k was actually cheaper than if I put it down to 2k.

Re: Your fleet running reports

that's awesome, though how much does the fleet cost? Last renewal for the main policy with Reis was at the end of July and came to: £401.46 Cayenne £370.90 Flying Spur £321.02 Vantage £236.25 Cooper S £137.92 Compact By total coincidence (honestly) the 360 arrived one day before the Reis renewal da...

Re: Your fleet running reports

With the excitement of maybe having the Porsche nice to drive again I figured I should insure & tax it and properly try it out. It’s been off the road for over two years. I had some trepidation due to all the stories of insurance going through the roof recently, but adding it to the admiral poli...

Re: Your fleet running reports

Bentley time today. And another chance to mention the QuickJack. It’s not long enough to fit the car normally, lengthways, so I’ve put it across. Seems slightly sketchy as it drags the tyres sideways briefly as it lifts :? but I’ve seen a few discussions of X5 owners doing the same so it’s not unhea...
