Re: Test drive report

I don't think Emira prices will shift much - they certainly haven't recently (within the last 6 months) after their initial tumble. I suspect the Evora's strong prices are propping them up somewhat. How long that continues is another question - base Evora's have been at 25k for the last 10 years (!)...

State of the Roads

It's just unbelievable at this point. I know it's always bad after winter, but every winter seems to be progressively worse with little improvement. Even worse after heavy rain when they're hidden under puddles. I suspect it'll continue to get worse over the years...we all need to go back to 15"...

Re: Test drive report

They've got a GT3 RS at Porsche Wolverhampton, drove past it this morning - want me to go and give it a once over & a quick test drive for you? Unfortunately it looks like they sold the Mansory one, so you missed out on that :(

I really miss my 4C, I've been looking at Spiders again - but they won't come close to any of the mentioned cars here for dynamics. Solid residuals, though.

I still can't get over the looks, especially the rear.

Are you planning to try an Emira?

Re: Ross Scott's stopkillinggames.com campaign

Their arguement has always been that you never really "own" a game or movie if you read the T&C's And it's fairly rare shutting down servers impacting games - in most cases they usually patch out the online requirement. Ubisoft and EA are notorious for being cunts with this though, so ...

Bullet bitten Haha - go big or go home 8-) PSVR2 will get official compatibility with the PC toward the end of the year too, which is nice. It's a great headset.

Re: Cholestorol and heart disease.

And yes, been told the same as Mike - Salt and Sugar are the two things that are very, very bad. There was a thread on Twitter about diets; 50+ years ago the diets were "bad" in terms of high fat, high carb, high calories (meats, potatoes etc) but people were more active, they ate less pro...

Re: Cholestorol and heart disease.

After a mate of mine did a blood pressure test because his parents had one lying around, then found out his was through the roof and ended up with an emergency appointment (and is now on meds) it got me thinking I needed to check mine as it's been 10 years and borrowed my parents. The anxiety kicked...

Just clocked over 55k now on the best car I've owned. 6 years old, never failed to start, thrown an error light or broken down - other than oil changes (and a few tyres thanks to potholes) its still as it left the factory, brake pads, bulbs, battery and all.

Re: FTAO EV owners - possible action required before end of March-24

The tax breaks for EV's were always going to come to an end once they started to notice the dent in the coffers as more and more made the switch... Problem is that it makes EV's less and less appealing due to cheaper costs initally being the major draw; the increased initial price over ICE (although...
