Bloody hell, that is tough on all of you. I hope you can get a refund of some of the holiday costs. Fingers crossed for the cat as well.

I haven't done that since I was very young, but the Perth motor mile road was one that we passed on the way to visit relatives and we did stop and get Porsche brochures circa 993 models and they could not have been kinder to a 13 year old ish that was spraffing pap about cars.

I genuinely thought I ...

Like Jobbo, I was epecting the primer grey like Nardo grey, but that looks sensational. You see an Evora so rarely but they always look brilliant and sound amazing.

From a Porsche Forum to BMW M cars seems to be shifting towards Lotus a bit more now.

Like subscribing to heated seats in a BMW, this sort of thing really discourages me from the brand. Hadn't occured to me that they could push adverts at you willy nilly.

I have driven all the roads @Mik mentions and concur with the recomendations.

The roads on Skye are lovely to go slowly with stops but are likely to be too busy to push on and are often single lan with passing places.

I know you are heading West and North, but there is a reason that the Borders ...

Oh, yeah, I would very much like that. TBH, I hadn't considered that any streaming service might not...

Cheers. Free or not, Sptify seem to be a bunch of shits from an ethical standpoint. Been googling and Qobuz seems cheaper, not sure about AI usage as none seem to cover such things. TBH, I was happy with just downloading what I wanted and paying for it, but the kids listen al the time.

Looking for knowledge from the brain trust - I have a family sub on Spotify, but they are pushing AI on their playlists so I am after something similar that doesn't.

Plus it has jumped from £15 to £22 and has now started a podcast for Yaxley Lennon so not too keen on funding either.

Anyone using ...

C'mon 'Ull

I got Admirnal Platinum multi trip for £17 with £20 million medical cover and a £50 excess. I have heard of them and they have the 5 star defaqto, I also have no clue who they are but tend to aim for this that have the high rating, jic I claim.

I thought they were ditched? Were they not the purple cards we got as EU citizens? - Ah, just googled, so a GHIC card replaces the one I was thinking of, cheers.

Happy Birthday you elderly gents.

I didn't realise one could do travel insuance but now you've said it, it seems blindingly obvious. I shall do that, cheers

It does look like the concept cars of the future, from my childhood.

The Volvo flashed an oil level warning a few tiumes in warm weather so my local garage siphoned some off as apparently if you fill them (Or 4 banger Merc engines) to the full line, they do that.

They also put adblue in.

Having done a few long trips in it, I definitely prefer it to the S5, I prefer ...

I am off to Spain with my no1 baby in a couple of weeks, just a few days visiting relatives.
The kids have always been covered by our bank account, but she has turned 18, very selfishly, so I was gong to buy
a years insurance as I assume that is the way to go.

She may not go abroad for the rest of ...

Way back from Edinburgh after my 15 year old had had a TP driving lesson spotted a light blue 288 GTO, then a few miels later two modern Ferraris.
A yellow 12 cylindri and a silvery white one, not exactly sure as I was driving into a roundabout and nebbing at the yellow one!

Ended up behind some new Vauxhall yesterday and realised the indicators on the back of eth car are pretty much invisible during daylight at least. Only realised it was indicating due to the tip of the wionng mirror flashing.

You would think that sort of thing would have been noticed before ...

I spent £40 on some Kicker ankle boots maybe 15 years ago or more, they are still like new, but I barely wear shoes nowadays. Like others on here, I live in trainers, at the moment Salomon rr0 139 bought from a discount onlin retailer for £60 and I absolutely love them.

I also have two pairs of ...

G81 Touring for me please.
