Tariffs on certain Chinese goods now 245%: https://www.theregister.com/2025/04/16/white_house_china_tariff/ That's tariffwang ! I'm sure I saw something (maybe in this thread) that was saying that once you get to 100% tariffs (say) anything beyond that is virtually meaningless as you've effectively...

Nice 8-) However, didn't you say the Superb was too big? :lol: are they the same platform? the 6 inch reduction will mean it doesn't overhang pretty much every parking bay. It was the handling that I really disliked though. I didn't realise there was that much of a size difference! Fair point on th...

Nice

Stop everything! Where can I buy these? Will travel. :lol: Ah, well I didn't manage to buy the first release from the one corner shop in Worcester which sold them but did find them in Tesco in Stourbridge on Monday this week. Try Tesco - Stourbridge isn't (quite) in Worcestershire so I had assumed ...

Probably part of their service to the insurers. Hold them while they’re assessed then straight to auction if they’re written off, saves multiple trips on a transporter. From the conversation I had with the insurers, I believe that's the case, yes. I expect Copart would assess, get price for repair ...

Call from Copart asking about the personalised number plate (I don't care) They reckon they've had it since Tuesday (fair enough) and it's 3-5 business days to assess so I should know by Tuesday coming at the latest what the crack is. If it's at Copart that sounds like it's already on the path to w...

Exactly what I was thinking.

Bastard, I was all primed to write a post about my 996 being quite comfortable for me as a tall person until I clicked the link. Z4C, I sat in one when they were new, I remember it being pretty snug. I was just about to post - I can't believe no one has mentioned the car of the moment - the Z4C. I ...

I don't know if it's specifically true for Viagra, but I believe Ozempic, the weight loss drug is entirely made in the Netherlands , and the US is one of the biggest markets.... Confusing the Dutch with the Danish, Beany? Please report to Deskjockey for your punishment! To be fair to Beanster Novo ...

"Road markings worn" It gives me a shred of comfort that autonomous cars will never be a thing in this country. Never ceases to amaze me how many people bang on about driverless cars being the future, completely forgetting that they wouldn't stand a chance with the state of the decrepit U...

I'm telling you - it's coming

Hell just do an Erdogan. Deport any reporters. Adopt the nothing to see here approach.

You're not wrong - it's a great car, but it's not going to stir the soul regardless of how incredible it is as an all-rounder. And yes, the handling is pants. We've a slightly weeping shock so when that reaches the point where it really needs sorting we'll likely go down the Bilstein B6 route. The w...

Does a YouTuber have that much effect on the market? Actually people are sheep aren’t they… i expect with cars like these, there’s only a handful ever on the market at any one time, so a popular youtuber could definitely affect the costs. And in this instance he's doing something else at the same t...

I'd sooner have a new M6 Toll Road from about Jct 18 to 27 or 28 - Bypass all of Manchester.
