Definitely want to watch some of this. Only seen a few seconds of the cobbles and the last lap in the Velodrome so far.

However challenging it looks, if someone chucked you the keys for one with a 2.0 and LSD and pointed you at a B road or a circuit, you'd be off like a whippet.
The fluoro green almost distracts you from the looks.

Saw this (only one existing in this livery, surely?) in Costco car park yesterday and though of Sundayjumper

Just caught up on this thread. That date might work for me too.

New season of The Capture on iPlayer. More CCTV deepfake action and counter-terrorism, who's-on-whose-side shenanigans. Thanks to @duncs500 iirc, for making me aware of this series originally.

I saw an advert for the BYD Dolphin Surf with £229 down, £229pcm, 1.9% APR over 4 years.. looks a small footprint 5 door vehicle


My next door neighbour has just got one of these on a lease that I think was even less than that. Only 4 seats but he's enjoying it. His M4 Cabrio may be getting ...

Nothing stands out as particularly worse than the other. Beetle and Rancho would be great still to have

in rough order
Marina 1.3
Marina 1.8 (but iirc it was badged as a 1.3)
Mini
Metro (one trip had 6 of us and a gas cooker in it)
LHD Beetle from a US neighbour (was on California plates when they ...

My sister picked a good weekend to visit her mate in Dubai! She's on her flight home now so I feel ok posting this. Was due to come back yesterday but got rebooked onto a flight that left this morning. She was having a great time at Yas Marina race track (an all you can eat and drink buffet with ...

What about Klaebo though. Five golds and he could get one more

well, I didn't know Porsche was actually called 'Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG' in full

Also, RIP.

I've left it very late then last two years and seen significant drops in prices. The only challenge has been, some preferred options being more limited.

Agreed, not paying that amount for a week in Europe but there are indeed people doing it, I know a few. It's mental.


Ta. Some friends went ...

Not having kids gives me the ability to book in term time so obviously it’s far far cheaper

I’ve found love holidays cheap, but the flight options aren’t always the best, and you have to be careful as it will occasionally try and send you home to a different airport. Never had to deal with ...

Crazy isn’t it. 4 years ago we went to some shitty all inclusive in spain, in term time and it was around £2.2k for the 3 of us for a week or so. A few years later we looked again, and the same place for a week in school holiday time was £4.5k!

There’s no fucking way i’m spending that sort of ...

Idea. Any recommended campsites on Holland or Germany? Electric hook up, clean pool and toilets, plenty of hot water for showers and washing up.

How much do people actually pay for a European beach holiday? For the past few years we've been camping in France. Two weeks, ferries, campsite, fuel, all food and all other spending for a family of four, has consistently cost about £3400.

Fancying a change, I just looked at a hotel in Greece that ...

Fabia was great for this, had a larger brake pedal, which also made left foot breaking easier.

> The bloc may also allow EVs to make use of range extenders — small backup fuel engines

I wonder where this puts things like the Nissan ePower, where the petrol engine is a generator for the electric motor full time iirc (or at least, I think it's more than just a range extender)

Ooh, interesting question. I think I got my plate in 1999, or maybe earlier.
540i, 306, CLK, Megane, Fabia, so 5.
