Yes LS is on the list but all hybrids command quite a premium so they come across as very overpriced for a car which will also depreciate to shed money eventually and have much more to go wrong. Go wrong? It's a Lexus, FiL put about 500k on a LS400 and 430 and the only failure over 20 years was the...

I found a nice Mondeo

Not very sensible though.

Does the Mini at least have a HUD? It seems like being a circular screen the speed will be even further away from a drivers line of sight than a Tesla which is already shit. You get used to it after a bit, then drive a car which has a speedo directly in front of your line of sight and wonder who the...

They’re Chrysler 300C based. The current generation of non sports car Maserati are crap and just Chryslers/Jeep in a fancy dress. Real step down from the old days.

What happens if you flick the ‘experiences’ switch?

I thought I was behind a new Chinese car earlier, most likely something produced by the Oreo Cat company

No. That’s actually the new Mini. And it’s utterly ruined.

Phaetons all seem Euro 5, avoiding them because they’re already being banned from cities in quite a few places in Europe, London will surely add them to the ULEZ sooner rather than later.

I've forwarded him the suggestions. Also I remember he was quite fond of the V8 diesel in the Q7, but he doesn't want a SUV. It appeared in the Panamera for a very short period. Was it in any other cars?

Yes, this would be better, but petrol V8

All of his current cars do teens mpg, this is what he's trying to get away from. Apart from the Tesla, but it's not very comfortable and new longer journey would require charging mid journey which he doesn't want.
He did also bring up a 8 series, also diesel

What's good out there? My dad wants something to waft in doing 25,000 miles a year. Preferably something which has done most of its depreciation, Euro 6, probably a diesel. Ruled out a 7 series because it's too ugly, no S Class because he doesn't want to look like an Uber. Current generation A8 depr...

“Threatened with termination” - presumably of the suddenly dying type of termination if what we’ve seen recently is anything to go by!

“Operators are faced with the dilemma of having to repaint spaces to accommodate these larger vehicles, which is especially difficult at some older multi-storey car parks where space is already restricted. “Unfortunately, this would lead to an overall reduction in the total number of spaces availabl...

I’ve noticed they don’t even fill in all the potholes that they mark now. I can only assume it’s because it’s different teams. The regular crew is just a transit which tips some tarmac into a wheel barrow which the chap dumps into the hole and jumps up and down a bit to compact - these repairs shoul...

I also use the council site which is no more onerous than the alternatives, it's handy as it shows every reported pothole on an interactive map so you don't waste time. I've just checked the email from my last report and it says they "aim to fix potholes within 28 days" and there's nothing...

Yep, beyond my mental ability.

They're lighting fireworks as totality happens, surely that's missing the point
