Re: Test drive report
Perhaps the metallic red. Have a look at both the reds in the metal if you get the chance! :) In the GRP? :lol: I'm pretty sure it's only Magma Red which was used on the 2023 cars which I'd be choosing from - looks nice in photos but I haven't seen it in the flesh. Is it a bit more marmite than I w...
Re: New Car
Supposed to be better put together than equivalent Renaults as Romanian roads apparently make ours look like the autobahn. I do have a soft spot for the Dacia brand, feels like it’s filled the void of good old fashioned basic motoring that ford left when it moved more upmarket Its got less stuff to...
Re: New Car
How does it compare insurance wise? The younger boy has his theory in about 3 weeks at that point I am on the hook for a car. I said not until you've passed theory as I don't want another car on the drive (we are already up to 4 and a dirty great caravan) and one that could sit around unused. Group...
Re: New Car
Nice one! Has he started driving yet? Not 17 yet (3 months) but i've been keeping an eye out for anything good that turned up. Slightly early but it's a good car (hopefully) with super low miles. Definitely a good idea to do it that way and now he's ready to go. Have you got lessons booked yet? Yes...
Re: New Car
That's an excellent choice - should be fun for him as well as reliable and has Top Gear cred. Fantastic value with these. for the budget he had anything else we were looking at (Polo, Aygo, Citigo) were all older with much higher mileage. My brother works for Renault/Dacia as well so we can get par...

Re: Mouse hunting
Caught it, in one of these that had been untouched for a while and it must have gone past umpteen times; https://www.imagedelivery.space/ffx/products/p/prcpstts.jpg?fm=webp Took it for a wee road trip and dropped it off ~3 miles away in a hopefully good and suitable habitat it won't find its way ba...

Re: Visit/Tour of M-Sport (Cumbria)
Absolutely fascinating. On another level.
Another detail. They’ve got an atmospheric dyno so they can map engines to run at altitude.

Re: Motorway Mile Munchers
No-one seems to be taking my Mondeo suggestion on board... Paging @tim and @Beany I mean, I literally suggested the newer version of a TitX (because I'm sure The Family Sales would perish at the thought of a 2008 car on the drive) earlier in the thread: Last of the line Mondeo Vignale? It's a motor...

Re: Desktop multimedia speakers
Budget? Up to £150 and happy to buy second hand too If you can find a set of those reference monitors on ebay they are really good. The later ones werent as good so you need to find one that says the below on the back. They usually sell very cheap. https://www.instagram.com/p/C5iWoE7ICTC/?utm_sourc...

Re: Desktop multimedia speakers
My current office setup is retro!
Ive inherited an original set of Gale Reference Monitors from the 90's and still have my 1998 Yamaha receiver driving them.

Re: Desktop multimedia speakers
Would the KRK Rokit suit? They are possibly a little too big but they are loved by DJ's as a decent entry level monitor, there is also a matching sub if you want to extend them a little. I use some old Mordaunt-Short MS10 book shelfs, run off a Teac AV-H500 amp (I needed more inputs and wanted a de...

Re: Desktop multimedia speakers
I have these in the cinema room as rear surround speakers. They do a fantastic job however as main speakers. Ive run them on their own a few times in our kitchen. They would sound great in a small office and wouldn't need a sub. https://www.richersounds.com/q-acoustics-q3010i-graphite.html https://w...
