Surely there’s a ready market for an engine from a classic Le Mans car now; sell it and pay off the mortgage?

First longer trip in the RR at the weekend - wafted up to Oxford and back in supreme comfort all the time averaging >30mpg (up to 34.9 at one point!) Fits right in parked outside a nice Oxfordshire pub for lunch https://i.imgur.com/Prwu3xy.jpeg I initially thought this was the Trout but now not so ...

I just have an admittedly irrational hatred for these requests - if you want an intentionally boring car, just buy one - we can't help!

I'm sure Broccers said there was an 'ignore' button

Are you funding Duncs’ purchase, Rich? You seem very invested in the decision.

My Izy ran a bit quicker after being serviced last year. I’ve never bothered to find out how to adjust it.

Yeah, mileage is the problem Ian. Don't really know what it will be, but it will be quite a lot. just make sure the excess mileage cost plus the fuel is within your mileage claim rate. And if you do this, Duncs, check whether there’s a two tier excess mileage rate. My Volvo lease was cheap for extr...

Surprised several of you pay monthly given it costs more. Just paod mine for 12mo - £340 this year. Not sure what the Superb is other than A Lot cheaper I pay monthly for two reasons: - when changing cars I never have to wait for a refund from the DVLA - it’s rolling, so you don’t need to remember ...

I pay for tax on the Jimny, Mini and Merc. The total for all three is about £60/month, with the Merc being (just) the cheapest. Good old two tonne diesel

Are you asking if it's expensive to replace the brakes on a bicycle? No, it isn't. HTH.

Google have just launched Google WiFi (not to be confused with Nest WiFi). It's £189 for 3 pucks. Just launched? I've had Google Wifi for about 3 years. It's not bad; easy to use, bit pricey, needs restarting from time to time (which you do via the app, no need to go round turning them all off and ...

Also new tyres all round ordered for the MINI, to be fitted Thursday. Nothing special but a) new and b) not RFTs. I'm hoping for a noticeable difference from the 6yo P-Zero RFTs that are on there right now. Tyres fitted yesterday. Ordered from Black Circles and I paid the extra £8 or whatever to ha...

That's what I use too - and I saw recently that clicking on the U removes everything except the military aircraft.

I know, right... a foreigner moving to England and like it here.

Some immigrants must like it, or Farage wouldn't go on about how many there are

You'd have to go to court (which means you're already onto a loser) for the mitigation to become relevant. And it's not mitigating circumstances to get off the charge, it's mitigation to limit the impact if you'd suffer undue hardship (for example, a larger fine and a shorter ban if that may affect ...

Good info!

Duncs probably needs to drive into London from time to time.

Closest thing I can find to your criteria is this Mondeo; a 1.5T rather than 2.0 so you’d need to work out whether it’s worth spending a couple of grand more on a 320i to benefit from the better mileage rate: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-detail ... 5142593591

Kin has posted something on another thread to tempt you and flex the budget while barely fitting the criteria: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-detail ... 1266505382

Mazda 6 was on my list of possibles 18 months ago. Not a bad choice, though I was after a diesel and I’m not sure what the petrol engines are like. Passat too; not sure what you get within budget nor what the petrol versions are like. Volvo V60? Not massive nor that interesting to drive but quite fu...
