Re: Coronavirus

GWS Jimmy - don't let the media stories scare you, don't forget for every news story you read there are quite literally tens-of-thousands who have nothing more than cold or mild flu symptoms. Rest, get some decent food and drink plenty. There’s some stuff which looks like shit and smells like shit g...

Re: SORNing your cars

I was thinking about doing the Evora, but I probably won't bother TBH. It's only £25/month and the opportunity to still take it out occasionally....

Re: Coronavirus

Indeed. It's all strange. It's an interesting thing whereby they're claiming about health issues though - a study linked on Reddit claimed that 80% of hospitalised cases in the Netherlands, the patients were clinically overweight or Obese, and 70% of cases here in the UK are the same (although I can...

Re: Coronavirus

I smell a pay cut coming, executives have just been given a 30% cut, which is no doubt a preamble to giving everyone else 20%. :( Yikes :shock: it's not much comfort, but the not-going-out business I reckon is saving me £300-400 a month, I should hope its the same for most. I accepted a new job off...

Re: Your fleet running reports

Hooked the Evora upto Aldi's finest car charger - not like it'll be going anywhere for the time being. Votage on the display initially dropped to <9v, and it was saying the battery was flat....yet it's always started strongly and on the first turn even when I took it for a quick drive last week. It...

Re: Car insurance renewals

I know this doesn't answer your question as such, but car insurance companies must be doing OK at this point - most still insuring their cars, but significantly less traffic, so by association far less accidents and claims? As for your increased renewals, insurance tends to get more expensive closer...

Re: Warranty surprise

£1k a year isn't too bad, really - although that does buy you a fair bit of work at a good indy.

IIRC Merc wanted £130/month on the AMG, although that did include a yearly service and MOT under their plan.

Re: Coronavirus

I agree in part - although a problem with our current testing is that it only gets active virus (RNA), and doesn't tell you who has previously (even asymptomatically) had it and cleared it. This is part of the drive for serology testing they mention. I think this is the key thing - testing only pic...

Well I've just been out for a walk and TBH the roads seem only slightly quieter than norm. I've seen a few with their roofs down clearly making the most of it, including an old fella in a convertable 'Vette

Getting great reviews - but obviously suffering from the negatives of needing £1500 of hardware to play it.

Drive and Evora and you won't even consider the Cayman. These are facts. I mean, EVO even picked the 276bhp, long-boxed car over the Cayman GT4 worth more than double.

Re: Your fleet running reports

Well, my Evora buyer has pulled out of the deal due to the current situation. Understandable. In all honestly, unless I'm willing to sell it for a significant loss, I doubt it'll move. I'll leave the advert for another week to see what happensthen I think I'll just take it down. Thankfully I'm in no...

Re: Coronavirus

My folks want me to go and visit at the weekend, as much as it sounds like I'm avoiding them I really dont feel like I should.

Are others keeping away from their family, regardless?
