OV9

Sorry - yes you're right - inline 6. I don't particularly fancy being a guinea pig on the Ingenium stuff but then again, my dad has just got a new discovery with that engine so maybe I'll watch and see how that performs over the next 18 months. He seemed to think it was more refined than the prior ...

This whole episode is extremely hilarious.

Some of the purchases are quite off the wall - £3,500 on silver wine coasters.

I also like that he said the motorhome was intended to be campaign headquarters... canvassing by the side of Loch Lomond with a fishing rod in hand I'm sure...

I think part of the reason people are probably slowing down on the changes is simply that residuals of newer models seem to be particularly firm.

I was checking in again on the L460 Range Rovers and for something I'd want (not a basic spec SE) they seem to be mid 70s whereas mine when I bought it ...

I would have posted this as an update to my Evora "new car" thread, but - as that's not on this forum - the fleet update will need to do.

Accepting this is no biggy to many on the forum, I’ve now owned the Evora for <subdued drum roll> 10 years. It has therefore become my first ever DECADER ...

Anyway, blasted as much crap out as I could, and put it all back together with the new old wing.

Nice work - always brings back fond memories of my e90 330i when I see yours

911 passed this years MOT with flying colours (which means no advisories right?).

Apparently it is the big 12 year service this year plus now I have a drive I also need to have the various bits of paint fixed from 3 years of people damaging it whilst street parked. Unfortunately it needs front and ...

And are they giving those "R8" LED DRLs away as a bulk buy discount or something - cease and desist!

Hopefully not... though that has needed to be done at least 3 times for my hedge trimmer

Age, height, weight - all are a factor for ease of entry in an Elise. If you're old, tall and chonky then there's no graceful way unfortunately :lol: you do eventually get the knack of doing it eventually. Alternatively, just only use it when the weathers nice and always keep the roof off.

Anyway ...

So I bought a Bosch corded mower in the end (https://www.bosch-diy.com/gb/en/p/universalrotak-37-570-06008a6571). It is pretty decent - quite lightweight, however (predictably) the cord is a PITA.

To avoid incessant and ridiculous morris men type flailing to move it out the way, I essentially do ...

Tesla wall charger, at 3 years of age, seems to have packed up. £475 for a new one. Debating getting an electrician out for a look first to see if there is anything fixable vs just buying a new one.

Seems to suggest it has a 4 year ...

Pretty rich from them. Maybe they should have said "* however the angles may in fact be somewhat different as a result of us removing 10% of the chocolate from our bars".

Latest fun with AI.

Rovo (Atlassian's AI, Gemini in drag I think): asked it to export some data for me. It says it has done it. There's no file. I ask where the file is and it apologises promising it is definitely there now. It isn't. Third attempt. Still insists the file is ready, except it isn ...

Either keep saving or haggle a bit on something like this that is mint and hopefully (as it says for cars up to 20 years old, which this is exactly) with 6 months warranty. The '06 and on also have dual row IMS bearings so likely a better bet all round (twice the load capacity of the 2000 to 05 cars ...

Pros are:

- it has Bose and Sport Chrono, sport seats decent mileage;
- is being sold from a Thatched barn conversion...
- Key is black so is a replacement later Gen 2 Key (good as it doesn't tend to open the bonnet / boot when in your pocket unlike the silver ones)

Downsides are:

- is it has ...

Sounds just like half a McL F1

I feel for those without a roof and aircon today. My car said 29C when I got back in. So I turned up the seat ventilation.


I was unwillingly in solidarity with them today - the 911’s air con gave up the ghost this afternoon so I did the 2hr run back from Oxford slowly being cooked. The ...

The one time I opened the boot was when everyone was taking photos! :cry:


That yellow looks slightly golden in the photos but I think it looks even better in person. Really love how you have the car.


Yep the colour is great. A yellow alpine came in after and I thought how flat and cheap ...

Great to see you guys again (or for the first time!) Need to ensure we manage it more than once every 3 years. Thanks also in absentia to Sundayjumper for the attendance of the 360 8-) Gavster only had it on the lockstops a couple of times ;)

If anyone wants a full size version of any of the ...
