Re: Randomness

If you get a few fab blokes to sit at the back will it do wheelies from the lights?

Re: Your fleet running reports

Speaking of white goods - I pulled the tumble dryer apart last night as something was a squeakin'. :? I can't believe you've just insinuated that jamcg 's wife new car is as exciting as your broken tumble dryer. That's pretty low, Mik. And anyway, what is this? Your Home Appliance Running Reports?

Re: Is car insurance racist?

I mean, it's shitty journalism TBH. I mentioned this in the other thread - no one is paying £2k/year on a Fiesta. I suspect they've looked at all the quotes, lowest being £400, highest being £5000 (in other words, those mad quotes where they just don't want the business) and said "oh yeah, the ...

Re: Car insurance

This was on the BBC this morning, trying to suggest that car insurers were institutionally racist....

However, I was more taken back at an "average" of a 30 year old teacher paying £2k a year on a Ford Fiesta!

Re: Decent car YouTubes

Barely any for sale at all now. Used to be a decent selection....can't imagine they're perceived well enough to be in mothballed collections so I suspect many have been written off I *still* tell people how good my VXR8 was - still one of my top 3 most fun cars. Mad to think I paid under £11k for mi...

Re: Decent car YouTubes

c£100k though? Seems a bit pricey to me for what you get...and I'm a big, big fan of the K-Series but I just think you could get a Dan-spec car as good for less than half that. (Although fair enough, he mentioned they stuck with the K to get into the US).

Do cars adjust their estimated range as they get older, or do they work like old mobile phones and laptops which report 8 hours use but only last 2?

What’s the deal with the plate?
The owner before me was called Matty and left it on.

I know it’s a stretch…
I'm also frequently called Mixty, so I get why. But only at weekends.

Re: Lexus image in the UK

If you can afford £12k over 2 years why put a max figure on it. Admittedly I'm 47 now and it's probably only the last 5 years I've not dwelled on the cost of things rather than live on the basis of can I afford to indulge in something I want regardless of cost and perceived value.
