Re: Gaming 2023

I'm hoping Forza Motorsport is a return to form as well. It's been so long since the last one came out and I don't recall it being that great compared to some of the older games. Outside of the weekly Forza Horizon challenges to unlock new cars, I've barely played any Xbox. It's felt a bit lacklustr...

Re: Let’s have a heated debate.

I've stuck with Apple products mainly because they all work so well together and I've got pretty much all Apple products at this point. iPhone, iPad, MacBook etc. My only real experience with using Android is trying to help my dad occasionally use his Samsung of some description. I just find it a bi...

Re: 5 years of OV9 forum.

I won a Jorg Gray watch as well, I'd forgotten about that. Think it's still at my dad's house. I don't think I checked my messages and saw it months after winning. Thought I might have missed the boat, but to be fair, EVO sent it to me. Pretty sure it was for a thread on the LaFerrari - Not being a ...

Re: Revuelto

It kind of looks like an Aventador front half and a Huracan back half, with a sprinkle of Mclaren rear to me. I wonder how much of it is just a revitalised Aventador. The interior certainly looks a lot more modern, and I'm sure the dual clutch gearbox will be a big transformation - Not that I'm like...

Re: Budget

Money for potholes caught my eye on the BBC feed. Feels about time, it's really shocking how bad potholes seem to be at the moment. I'm finding I'm having to dodge multiple potholes every time I drive my car.

Turbo style 21" for me, which doesn't look like it will help as everyone has said something different!

Re: Decent Recent TV

Spoke to a few of my mates over the weekend and they've all binge watched it as well. I think that shows it was really good! I hope they make another season. Agreed on the LIV sentiment, could see why some of the older guys decided to take the cash as they basically weren't making the cut anymore, a...

Re: Decent Recent TV

Good to know there's a couple of golfers around these parts. I've only really been playing about 10 months, but thoroughly addicted. Can't wait for the lighter evenings to be able to go out after work and play. My brother plays off a 5/6 I think, and my goal is to get close to him, but I'm currently...

Re: Decent Recent TV

Been watching Full Swing on Netflix. Apparently it's the golf version of Drive to Survive - I've not watched Drive to Survive, but if it's anything like this, I might have to go and watch that as well. Makes you want to route for people in the show (well maybe not the ones who went off to LIV Golf)....

Re: Dogecoin etc

Just watched this video on cryptocurrency which was pretty interesting. It's quite long, but very much like a Netflix type documentary on YouTube. I'm still a bit on the fence about Crypto. After watching the Bernie Madoff series on Netflix as well, it does push me away from crypto in general (simil...

Re: M3 Touring

Fair enough, that makes sense. Can't say I've been in the position where a car I've bought has gone up in value / worth more once being sold, so not something I've ever really paid attention to. That video just made me think, oh so that's why people flip cars. A grey area / loophole being exploited ...

Re: M3 Touring

One of the replies says base was about 87k, so not a bad profit if they can actually sell it for that. Can't understand why someone would want to spend over 100k on a 3 series though. bonkers. Just on the flipping of cars, saw a video this week stating that you don't pay any tax on that profit, so i...

Re: Alcohol, sugar or virus?

I was ill over Christmas, and still feeling the effects of it a bit. Random cough and runny nose which I can't seem to get rid of, very annoying! It seems that there's a lot of illness going around, I know a lot of my family have had something, friends and people at work etc. Wouldn't put it past be...

New car sales

Just reading this article on BBC about new car sales being the lowest since 1992. My last 2 cars I bought brand new, but to get the equivalent of my current car, is about an extra 10 grand now (128Ti compared to my 125i). Prices of new cars seems astronomical now! Looking at the BMW site, even the e...

The poll finished with 57.5% in favour of him going. Wonder if he's going to step aside now, or just pull strings from the shadows. It's all just been a bit weird.

Re: The Weather Thread.

I'm in Swindon for work today and saw -8.5c on the car dashboard. Weather app says its -7 but feels like -12c. I'm really not a fan of it being this cold. At least the office heating is on full blast!

I've only followed this FTX collapse loosely, but the main guy has been arrested in the Bahamas - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-63953096
