OV9

I want to like it, but can't get passed... - looking like a second hand car from the 90's - 2.9 tonnes - horrific MPG If it's for commercial, surely a pick up is better and cheaper. If it's for personal, you'd think a defender is the better day to day car. Having said that, I know of wealthy lawyer...

It's an auto (have to say I didn't even realise they made them in Manuel)

Have you tried evonomics?

Kind of ironic this is being proposed in Oxford which is overrun with buses - maybe have fewer of those and see how you get on?

But only the front wheels can go off road

Why do the X-Drive cars always seem to have "too big" gaps between the front tyres and arches?

The main reason I've never like E Type Jaguars is for this exact reason

The wheels/arches look awful to my eyes, with the wheels so far in-board...

Just watched the Johnny Smith video on it. I actually quite like it and what they've done. But I just can't get my head around where the market is and whether it's big enough to sustain sales. Especially if they're going done the engineered to last approach. I hope they do well though Watched this ...

Embarrassing eh, and for some reason I can't delete them either

I've love to keep it, but having two cars to park on the street isn't really tenable

Sure, what's the best way share pics here?

I've been getting the itch to change cars, and before things get serious, I just thought I'd see if there's any appetite here for my current car Better to ask now, rather than find out after I P/X it that someone would have been interested It's a 2019 M140i, 5 door in white with c30k miles It's in g...

Exactly what I thought too...

"We'll have more details as soon as Elon's made them up"

We're midway through developing a new feature/PoC with Twitter and I saw this news earlier

Somewhat changes things now we're going to have to pay for access (for what was going to be a free feature for our customers)

@Jobbo I'm still amused by the Upper Dicker and Lower Dicker near me (even though I've known of them since I was a kid)

And there are now special, small signs for the river Uck to stop people from inserting an "F" in front

I'm personally not a huge fan of black watches

Or rather I think it's the black bracelets I don't like

The actual watch (the Alpinist) looks good IMO

Think I'd prefer it on a rubber/NATO though

There's always one more watch eh @Jobbo

@Jobbo I know you like your Alpinist, and you like black watches...

Have you seen the new Black Series Alpinist that's just been announced?
