Thanks Ascender - Will take a look at some of those. Maybe I can get through a couple before my freebie runs out!

I was curious how many were for sale on Autotrader. There's 5 adverts on there and 2 seem to be advertising the same car, so it's only actually 4 for sale. 89k for the estate with ~3k miles and the most expensive one is 101k for a C63S with only 30 miles on the clock. Was trying to look on howmanyle...

I've just finished Fallout and thought it was really good. I've not played the game, but I've seen some playthroughs on YouTube before when Fallout 3 & 4 came out, so knew a bit going into it, but not a diehard fan to know all the lore. Also just finished Masters Of The Air last night, which I r...

I rarely go into the office, I genuinely see very little benefit from it. I do make an effort to go in on "Team days", where the idea was to have a day where people would be in, you could see people and catch up. I went to one of these days last week and I was the only person from my team ...

I'm surprised they expected to sell 700 to 800k units - according to that article. That seems very high! Even 400k to 450k units downgrade sounds like a lot. Especially as the starting price is $3499... That's lot of cash for what still feels like a gimmick to me. Not sure how much different it is t...

evo Car of the Year 2023 released on YouTube this evening.

5.7% turn out which seems crazily low. I would have thought that would impact a lot of cars, especially the trajectory that modern cars seemed to have increased their weight. I know the French stereotypically like their small city cars, but cars like the 3 series would probably fall foul of that 1.6...

Just had a Sky Sports notification that Hamilton is joining Ferrari next year. Didn't expect to see that

It was a pretty brutal review! It seemed entirely fair though. I can't believe that specific car was £115,000. The depreciation of that is probably going to be ridiculous as well. I just don't know why someone would want one of those...

Just re-read my post and it does sound a bit like I wrote it was just an automatic now. I meant as an additional option to the manual.

The CarWow video covers quite a lot of detail, including a chat with the lead engineer.

Just watched Car Wows video on it. It does look like they've made improvements based on feedback about the original version. Adding a torque convertor auto seems like a strange addition, but sounded like they've tried to address some of the concerns of that type of gearbox with this sort of car. I'm...

I've only ever had one Auto car, which was a DSG Audi A3, which I thought was fine for the few years I had it. Never had any issues with that box personally, but mainly just left it in auto as most of my driving was on the motorway at that point. I am tempted to give an auto a go for my next car whe...

Slightly different, but I've found just driving in the dark a pain more and more recently. It feels like headlights becoming brighter and brighter and with larger vehicles like vans etc, they seem to just be at eye level. Hadn't realised until recently that having an astigmatism impacts how you perc...

I was ill just before Christmas. I guessed it was Covid, but didn't test so no idea. Had a fever, ached all over, cough, runny nose and just feeling constantly drained. I had one day of no sense of smell / taste which was very odd. Glad that didn't last. I still get a bit of a cough every now and th...

I remember really enjoying the first TDU, but no idea if that was just nostalgia/being young when I played it. I'm pretty sure I also remember TDU2 being rubbish and giving up on it. Forza Horizon has spoilt some of these more open world racing games, as I don't like the driving mechanics in compari...

I still remember being dragged to a Pogues concert by my dad when I was a kid. RIP

I very nearly went with the blue dial when I was initially looking. Was a tough choice! I really liked the green dial also.

It's just the date version, with the black dial on a rubber strap. I really love it.

Just looking at the Oris site as well, it's now gone up in price by £300 since I bought it. Well, if buying direct from Oris.

I wore an Apple watch for about 18 months, but it just sits on my bedside table now. I got fed up with what felt like the constant notifications to do something. You need to stand up etc. I was being a bit obsessed with trying to complete the rings daily. Just found it a bit too much of a pain. Then...

That looks horrendous... Trying to go after the X4 / X6 / GLC / GLE Coupe SUV things? Can't imagine buyers of those cars would swap to a Ford.
