The 5th gen fighters was just Hollywood dusting but maybe Iran will get some from Russia in exchange for those drones they're giving them?

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

Same with Teslas, the parts prices are crazy. I think it’s because none of the electronic and drivetrain bits seem repairable. If an inverter goes or a drive computer it’s a few grand, and the specialists can’t repair anything either, just buy in the same parts from Tesla. Looking at the Tesla forum...

It could only be Iran though, movie producers perhaps more afraid of being hunted by a hitman!

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

Looks like EVs are now at the critical mass point where they are costing the government and local councils money. EV parking concessions removed from Westminster city council. And whenever one council does something the others follow shortly after. I imagine they’ll be charged Congestion Charge soo...

Pfft, only a small double garage which you will struggle to get the Zonda in and no real room for a decent garage anywhere else. More imagination required.

Someone tried to sell theirs and no car dealer would buy it, tried WBAC and got quoted £150 :lol: Thought it was a troll, entered an Ocean plate on WBAC and £150 :shock:

Re: Euromillions immediate purchase

Yeah that could approach £1 million a year in upkeep. You’d need a small army of people just to maintain everything and a manager to manage them.
There’s a reason all of these large estates eventually turn into business ventures with a few rooms left to live in.

Re: Euromillions immediate purchase

House and location look lovely, but can’t say that about the pool structure I’m afraid - it’s just an agricultural RSJ workshop with conservatory style windows. Maybe turn that into the garage and move the pool to the tennis court area. I do need to visit Dublin some day though. Everyone I know here...

Re: Jerry can recommendations

Well it's not exactly a licence, you usually let the local authority fire brigade know about it and that's that. Can't remember what they call it. If you want to store hundreds of litres+ then you pay a one off amount which isn't much to get a licence but the main cost is that once you get into thos...

Re: Jerry can recommendations

You can buy a spout for metal Jerry cans so you won’t have to call the environment agency each time you fill your mower. Halfords sell 20l Jerry cans and they’re fine despite being quite tinny. If you have a military show/event locally that’s where to find the best ex mod/nato jerry cans. They last ...

Re: Toyota GR Yaris

I hope the GR Yaris fuel tank size gives a solid 300+ miles of range - would be embarrassing to have to stop before the EV6 too 😄 the fast EV6 only has a max range of 220 miles (and I doubt that's going to happen whilst using any of the performance). Even my car with its small tank could beat that ...

Hadn't come across Praters before, they certainly have an extremely broad selection of cars for sale. From very high end to absolute sheds and everything in between. Also I can't tell if I hate this or love this. https://www.praters.co.uk/used-freightliner-sport-back-leighton-buzzard-bedfordshire-54...

Re: Jobbo interior

It's clearly not an X6M, it has the standard speedo, standard wheel with no M button, standard gear selector with non of the M specific setup stuff surrounding it.

Someone buy it and return it a few weeks later saying it's been mis-sold? :lol:

Yeah, it's odd given that the CMF-EV platform can have a hefty motor in the back for the AWD ones but single motor has to be at the front.

Re: EV Thread

Something which surprised me, the new Renault Scenic SUV (wait wasn’t the Scenic a shitty people carrier?) now looks like a VW Golf - weighs only 1917kg with a 87kwh battery - which I reckon makes it the lightest car with such a high capacity battery. However. Why the fuck would you still make it FW...
