Re: Your fleet running reports

Have you tried him in it without the booster or seat at all ? The TT doesn’t need a booster seat in the back as it puts him too close to the tailgate glass. So with no booster and even though he is only 131cm Connor has a pretty perfect seatbelt height and sits securely. Maxwell was the same but a ...

Re: Your fleet running reports

This sort of discussion kind of sums up another one the attractions of ///M cars for me. In the end, they're just normal cars with full sized rear seats, isofix, roof bar fittings, folding seats, etc.. it does make everything straightforward, though I'd love it if I could easily fit a removable tow...

Re: Your fleet running reports

He's 8 next month and I think above the cut-off height wise where he could ride without a seat - but with no head support that idea doesn't thrill me.

Re: Your fleet running reports

Finally completed a multi-month mission to find a way that the little one could come out in the Lotus with me. Surprisingly little guidance on the subject (and admittedly a little procrastination at times). So, part one was to obtain a seat narrow enough to fit inside the Tillett. This involved goi...

I've seen two in real life now. I didn't get that close up but they didn't seem enormous to me. My baseline is set at a FFRR though so that's probably why :lol:

It tells viewers it is very capable of breaking down if you use a heavy right foot :lol:

Re: Harry’s Garage

This is the problem with blatant parts sharing. Every time I hear "how did you achieve that power increase", a voice inside my head immediately responds "presumably that's a question for Mercedes". It would be good to know whether or not they modify the engine or whether AMG do e...

Re: Your fleet running reports

It doesn't look too overpriced but you have the inside information that it hasn't run regularly (though you could probably glean that from the unloved looking interior). Plus non-standard add on rear wing is not great. Others seem available for cheaper (e.g. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/...

Re: Your fleet running reports

Quite disconcerting but there are several reports of it on t'internet and the general consensus seems to be that its nothing to worry about. Anyway, its under warranty so I guess it isn't... Porsche seems, more than any other manufacturer, to have really disquieting tics which are within the range ...

What Zinda said. No way is any single-digit plate selling for £80. I bet Xavier Tarquin-Yakitori (Global CEO of X7 group) would pay a small fortune for it! (If he or the that business existed). Odyseusz is your man https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/09157348/officers

Re: Tedious but traditional New Car thread

Seems about right - letter number letter letter letter plates start at around £299 to buy. Assuming a trade buyer would want to make c.30 percent profit I would expect it is worth £200.

What not just put it on eBay.
