Re: Greggs closed!

The latest big-name high street food retailer to suffer an outage due to IT issues. Is this the start of a concerted cyberwar to send the masses into revolt, an uprising against our government, making us ready to accept our new Russian leaders? Or has someone been using a default password on their ...

Re: First Cars - Insurance

Unless you have a claim though, I guess you could easily get away with having parents as named driver on multiple cars, all using the same NCB discount etc. Companies are never going t...

Re: Full Fibre

We're still stuck with Starlink being the only option if we want anything over 23M. We get 150-300 with them and its £80 a month.

The boy's renewal is in... now 2 years NCB and it's gone up £300 to £3000. Time to shop around and see if there's anything to be done to reduce that.

Re: The (mainly city-focussed) anti-car movement

I don't even understand what the original tweeter's beef is about the Cycling UK tweet. It's just a competition to win a fancy bike of your choosing because that's what people will like. And the bit about the Range Rover is just further evidence of him being an utter bellend.

Re: Test drive report

992 sounds like an interesting buy (although I still wish they were a bit smaller). If you got one would you still want an MX5? Have I misread your post? :? It didn't feel big - incredibly easy to place on the road. I wouldn't write off the idea of a 911 because the 992 has got too big. MX5 is the ...

Re: Test drive report

Some very nice cars there 8-)

I've kind of lost track with Porsche as to what all the different models of 911 are now. Must have a mooch down to the local dealer at the weekend to see.

What are used values and depreciation like on "normal" models of 911 these days?

I'm with Jobbo, I was all febrile at the expected gratuitous pictures of vintage music playing kit and have been left utterly disappointed.
