2 1/4 for me - so maybe not on a week night, but otherwise, possibly

That sounds great Chris! I've always had half an eye on these after having one on a 48hr test drive once - £2.8k for a decent one seems a pretty damn good deal.

70% of your running on electric? Impressive.

Not me but a neighbour who used to have a Jag XE has made what I think is a brave purchase (I daren't ask him how brave he thinks it is, in case he's been living in blissful ignorance of their reputation as a ticking time bomb). Jag I-Pace. He's very happy with 400bhp and 0-60 in 4.5s. Paid £16k for ...

Thanks both of ya

You make a good point

Budget ? Touaregs starting at £26k.

It might be a bit on the big side. Nippy though. Thanks.
Anyway, Mrs Mad has decided she likes the Kia Sportage. So here's one in a nice colour imo with all the toys and the most performance you can ...

Mrs Mad doesn't like the Porsche badge. Or Mercedes. Or Audi. Or any BMW. She liked the Aston DBX that went past us on the M40 though, so that's alright then :roll:


Touareg ? Or whatever the Skoda equivalent is ?

You probably should have bought Gavster’s Ateca !!

any 6 or 8 cylinder petrol ...

Looking at this older one now. Mrs Mad has said she won't have a green car (harder to see, etc), but I guess it could be wrapped :)

MOT history is bang on - regular ...

Maurice still had his almost-the-same-car-in-different-dress <deep breath> Range Rover Velar P550 SV Autobiography last time I spoke to him. I think Velar has air springs instead of steel - can't fully recall. If you are interested I could prod him for insights?


Ah, same engine as the SVR ...

This one's just been listed, seems a good price. It's leggy, but condition is everything blah blah

Answers on a postcard as to why Pizza Hut owned it :)

I struggled to fit in YK's at Bedford when he ...

Evo don't seem to like the revised V6 engine/transmission that comes with the facelift.

It's not a V6, it's the Ingenium straight-6. The pre-facelift supercharged V6 is pretty rare I think. But it's not an Ingenium so probably a bit more trustworthy; it's based on the V8. The V8 has a few ...

For some reason I started looking at F-Types and the supercharged V6. But the F-Pace appears to offer the same engine (or a variant of it, post-2021 facelift) in a much more wife- and family-friendly format. This one looks nice. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202607284592591

That's immense!

Swift MOT passed. Only the front two tyres getting low was noted. Had it done at my local tyre place. A load of people were popping in mentioning TPMS warnings coming on. Ironically on the way out I noticed my TPMS light was on. Suspect just a few degrees colder has triggered it.

edit: yes, down to ...

It’s a good thing he serviced the car at a specialist this whole time, otherwise it would be worth a grand less.


I wonder how much he's spent with them since 2007, on this one and his other 3 Lotuses.

But regarding servicing, I still get my Swift - which is probably worth £5k at the most ...

I switched to a Mac for work several years ago and after a few months of headache I'm now a convert and using Windows is painful. I use rsync from the command line to backup onto a NAS. From a Windows laptop I'd just copy folders onto it as a mounted drive.

Definitely the Mac for your music stuff ...

Thanks all for the trailer tips. I'll take a gander at the connectors and bulbs, see if anything is obviously amiss and try and improve the connections.
