Re: Viewing a Car - POLL
Yes, but are they going to break into 7 houses looking for the key to your car? Like I said, it just makes it more effort for them and they tend to go for the easiest option

Re: Viewing a Car - POLL
It’s just another level of effort that a potential thief has to employ and, as they tend to go for the easiest option, I can understand why people would do that.

Re: Car Hire Lottery
Not sure if this car is broken, my 740d was pretty much the same engine with a higher tune in a bigger car and would do 40+ for the same journey, even my 550 will do between 17 and 20 mpg, even in traffic. https://i.ibb.co/g6x0vDB/IMG-0699.jpg Hire car innit.. also, I’ve always thought you can get ...

Re: Lotus Emira
35000 Elises were produced over 25 years, just over 6500 Evoras over 11 years, and they sold 3500 Emiras last year with a target of 6000 this year.. should certainly be more choices second hand, not so confident about future values

Re: Car Hire Lottery
Surely the Golf just applied the auto parking brake which you could manually release? I’ve had (hire) cars that won’t select gear if door open.. Bizarrely, on my last car hire (above) there was a button on the key fob that when pressed twice started the engine! I was out the car with a crew member ...

Re: Car Hire Lottery
I recently returned from Tampa, took the opportunity to hire a muscle car*.. Dodge Challenger R/T with a Hemi V8. No gpf (or CAT ?) on US vehicles so sounded like what God (Bless America) meant it to sound!
*makes 375hp from a 5.7L or 6.1L or 6.4L depending on year

Re: Smartwatches
Do you wear your watch while asleep? I take mine off every night so just sticking the Apple Watch on the charger by the bed is quite natural. Yes, I took part in a fatigue study a few years back and find monitoring my sleep patterns very informative, especially with crossing time zones and overnigh...

Re: Smartwatches
Started using an Apple watch occasionally and the battery life is shocking. I'm used to a Garmin that lasts for weeks at a time between charges :lol: Yeah, it really is rubbish! 😂 I still use one though as I use fitness+ and “it just works” etc. I find it best to charge whilst getting ready in the ...

Re: Amazon and Proximity
Maybe on Android, but Apple is: The existing “Allow While Using App” option will grant location permissions to users in the foreground just as it has in the past. However, if an app’s developers have additionally requested that the app track background location, then selecting this option will addit...

Re: Motorway Mile Munchers
XJ-L? I like the colour combo. Train and turns in the rear on the way home sounds like the right choice

Re: Dangerous beers...
Surely the Guinness in Uganda and also in Ghana comes from the Breweries in Ghana (where all of Africa’s Guinness is made) ;) Mates Dad was head of Quality Control at James Gate (worked his was up from Bottle washer) - O Connors was his opinion. But you’re right about the lines - shorter the lines ...

Re: Dangerous beers...
I’ve always a case or two of Brewdog, some Moretti for guests and some Brewdog Speedbird/Lost beers from work. However, I mostly enjoy Guiness and as the pub three doors down from me won the best Guiness award by the brewery, I typically just wander into there when thirsty. £6.70 a pint though these...

Re: And then there was none..
Classic car club has closed down and the first page of Autovivendi made me want to shiver! 😂 Currently driving a Dodge Challenger R/T 392 cu Hemi V8 (5.7L in oourpeean): sounds fantastic, but only makes 375hp! 😂 I don’t know how the Americans do it! Hopefully this dry spell will be short lived 🤞 IMG...
