OV9

Ferrari Pure Blood on the A456 near Halesowen. Not nearly as interesting a shape on the road as it looked in photos; it is a fussy, slightly too long SUV which visually offers little or nothing over a Urus, Eletre or Cupra Formentor to my eyes. Shame; it looked really interesting in Harry M's video ...

If you can buy at P/X price, do it and I'll give you a grand on top to have it straight off you.]

Got to be a light colour, which basically means Nimbus Grey.

That sounds wonderful. The visual speed of the car does not match up with the sound which is quite amusing.

It really works better on lighter colours to me - that does look good. Fuck paying £85k - I might be tempted when they are 45-50k though. Can't disagree with that. I reckon a sub-2000 miler will be in the sub-£60k bracket before long, then people will realise they're worth it and prices will firm u...

First one of those, the taxi is legally stopped but with reversing lights on, and then opens his door into the cyclist's path. So the cyclist has reason to feel aggrieved. But nobody hurt anyone and the 'Dutch reach' nonsense is fucking idiotic; cyclists are told to cycle further from stopped traffi...

The rumours were that it’d have 600bhp. Obviously not. Still plenty quick enough. Does it need a separate launch to the regular and long range Highland facelift?

I did park the Buzz out the front but it was in front of some windows to the living room and would life more difficult for delivery drivers turning round.

I'm still on the Honda-E forum, and even the fanboys ("I only had to stop 4 times to get to my destination! It's part of the adventure!") are warning people about some of the expensive faults that can occur and the warranty being essential (repeated door handle failures (£1k at dealer), s...

You're right, Rich - it's a vehicle which lends itself to adventures which is a bit spoiled by not being able to go more than 125 miles from home into the wilderness. 250 mile range is probably optimistic anyway; if you can use say 74kWh of the 77kWh battery and take my best efficiency of 3.1mi/kWh...

Lowering the ground under the former garage would create a sort of sheep dip full of run-off water from the drive. So no, but I did think of it enough to realise the obvious issue

I'm going to be accused of attention whoring now but this is just to explanify, honest. And I'm at work so can't take pictures from the angles which would be useful. The drive which we use to park cars on is to the rear of the house and is paved: https://i.imgur.com/I6m526k.jpg The photo below is ta...

Now I've actually driven an EV I feel a bit more interested in this thread. With the updated Taycan apparently offering 400 miles' range I may have to consider one - though they are nowhere near as practical as a proper estate, which is nowhere near as practical as an ID Buzz... I'll just avoid movi...

The one I liked best on a test drive was the Emira. They seem to have depreciated another couple of grand since I drove it though - in less than a week. So I am keeping an eye on prices. Forgot to mention the other thing about the ID Buzz which was rather nice: everyone looked at it and smiled. Defi...

Sorry Duncs - it isn’t curved but I don’t really know what to call it. The estate agent referred to it as a breezeway 😂 Matt, I haven’t won the lottery and I’m not terminally ill if that’s what you were referring to. The Buzz was a bit of a folly; my wife liked the look of it but I expected I’d find...

Those tyres are from 2015 - I thought the car was earlier than that? Either way, they’re 9 years old and your dad already had a sideways moment so probably worth replacing

This is most out of character for you, Nath.

I had to do our old house yesterday as well and that’s why I’m knackered. It takes as long to mow there as it does the new one despite being 1/3 the size due to the awkward bits round the edges, and it’s more tiring because of all the manoeuvring. But you’re right, I may find someone to cut it;

And here is the salesman guiding me very carefully to check if it fits:

That would have been the garage once but the previous owner knocked it through and made a big new drive to the rear. So here’s the fuller review. My wife spotted an ID Buzz for sale at the Skoda dealership between Worcester and Malvern; I’d been there before to service our Yeti and knew they were a ...
