Re: Your fleet running reports

I never really understood this concept, if I could have it back without cost then I'd happily have my car back. e.g. the RRS in the thread above - it needed £17k of repairs, it would never be the same. If I was in that situation I would have preferred that it had "disappeared". obs I woul...

Re: Bye Bye Sunak..

Yeah, hundreds of millions of pounds spent, no one sent, countless lost legal cases and the best they've had is a "rumour" that some illegals aren't crossing into NI because the threat of going to Rwanda. Thats the best lie the Tory's could come up with. It's not been a policy that has wo...

Re: Your fleet running reports

I found a 2017 Range Rover price list. A couple of slight surprises: Electric towbar was only £985. Seems like a bargain. Electric side steps were £3,270 :shock: All in all, it's probably depreciated about £1k pm over its life. Which doesn't sound too bad tbh. Sounds about right - I wonder at what ...

Re: The House Projects Thread

Yes - but the definition of "High Net Worth Individual" often takes into account income as well as net assets. In truth, a real "High Net Worth" individual as we would think of them is a combination of the two. Lots of elderly people have enormous net assets as they bought a hous...

Re: Your fleet running reports

My wife's Macan had its first oil change today. I posted that on 9 Feb. Just booked its second oil change in June. Crikey! Moving house may have cut the mileage I'm doing down a bit but it's increased the Macan's. And that won't do 50mpg; I am not sure it's ever done 30mpg in her hands. And this is...

Re: The House Projects Thread

It is helpful in some respects though - when I was taking out finance on the 911, as I fitted into that category they basically don't need to worry about whether a regulator thinks I can afford the loan, only their own risk analysis. Although somewhat of a double edged sword as loans above a certain...

Re: The House Projects Thread

We had exactly the same problem. Three suggestions: - Speak to @Holley on here - Try looking for High Net Worth home insurance, because the insurers tend to be less 'computer says no' - we ended up using HomeProtect - Try the Meerkat for non-standard homes: https://www.comparethemarket.com/home-ins...

One of our families' favourties. My 8 year old demands we go for breakfast each time we're up in Oxford :lol:

Kioku sounds good.

We recently went for the Beijing roast duck at Imperial Treasure - would recommend but need to try Min Jiang as well at some point.

I bought it for £9k last March , the seller didn't tell me it was Cat N, and I didn't check, so that's partly on me. It was provisionally sold @ £7500, I changed the front air...

Actually it’s interesting to compare to the Bentley. I was slightly surprised that the a-pillars in the RR are just coloured plastic. The Bentley has leather, it’s leather *everywhere*. Yours is an Autobiography isn’t it? I thought that would mean alcantara headlining and pillars at least. The RRS ...
