Re: The Movie Thread

Went to see Civil War last week. I really enjoyed it. It's far from the action movie you might think it's going to be if you've seen the trailers. It's essentially a story about war photographers, but also paints a picture of the mindset of the different US sub-cultures. It's a bit like the 2nd hal...

That was Moonraker at a wedding iirc

Re: Teh Spotted Thread

997 S followed by a Cayman GT4 in lovely yellow, the a 992 Carrera T and some sort of black Porsche in the middle, but I was too busy looking at the yellow ones to see what they were.

Last time I was dumped I am not sure I even had a mobile and Whatsapp didn't exist. I think her mate told my mate to tell me!

Re: Car for a new driver

Yeah Scott just got a Dacia Sandero I think it was. It used to be that Peugots and Volvos were far cheaper than the Polo/Corsa type.

Re: Test drive report

I must admit, I quite like the look of those, but I would want at least a 300 mile range on any EV if it was our main car. I really like the interior, my Skoda is just unremittingly black. I love the dark green Emira though, but thegrey also looks fantastic, I have seen a few in the wild, I think bo...

Re: New Car

sounds an ideal car. Probably less attractive to vandals and thieves than a chavved up Corsa as well.

Re: Motorway Mile Munchers

Yeah, beige on beige. When I was trying to find a Superb 280 I talked to a Skoda dealer in Sheffield and all was going really well until he mentioined the netallic brown exterior and beige leather. I could probably have lived with the beige leather with black or very dark grey exterior and the brown...

https://i.imgur.com/FZ1YKVt.jpg 800 miles or so from the Borders to Lews & Harris last week, then up and down the island. Despite being a wallowing whale of a car it did an admirable job. I still do not particularly like the car to drive but it is subtle (so hopefully won't be stolen off the dr...

Alonso signed another 2 years at AM. Sainz heavily rumoured to be off to Mercedes. Much as I like some of te established drivers, there could do with being a decent cull of guys who have had their shot. Magnusson Hulk Danny Ric (Gutting but he just doesn't look fast) Zhou Bottas Tsunoda possibly, La...

Re: Exploding tempered glasses

My wife was given home made elderberry cordial a few years back, from a parent of one of her pupils. It exploded and the entire kitchen, pretty much, was covered in stickiness with shards of glass stuck to most surfaces. I steam cleaned so many times to get it useable. Had the chap who gave it been ...

48k service on the Superb, spark plugs and oil and thorough checkover. Feels nice and fit, ready for big miles over the coming month. Still doesn't excite me in any way, but it looks nice enough, fits loads of kit and returns mid to high 30 or more on anythin over a short run. Still missing estate v...
