Re: Test drive report
I was behind a very dark green Emira yesterday - lovely car, wrong colour though. It just didn't work with the shape at all for me.

Re: Your fleet running reports
Yep 2.5 PHEV. so it's not really 80mpg, you're putting in electricity too. My M2 does around 5000 miles per gallon (of oil - I'm ignoring the petrol for my calculation). I'm not paying for the electricity, and you don't measure consumption of electric in gallons, so I'm 100% sure it's doing what I ...

Re: Your fleet running reports
Haha, it's very good on fuel, my wife uses it more than me and her commute is 8 miles each way on very hilly roads and she can get 2 days on just electric without needing to charge it, if I don't use it for work it would never use any fuel! is it a PHEV? Yep 2.5 PHEV. so it's not really 80mpg, you'...

Re: The ebay thread
Hard no on all of those :lol: This will be rough as anything, an ex-Everyman Racing driving experience car, but it's the cheapest 360 I've seen, so that's where the bottom of the market is now: asking £37k. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/375378508458 they can ask it, but is anyone going to pay it?

Re: Bye Bye Sunak..
I say give everyone what they want and let the 5% provide all 😎 This is pretty much the system we have. Most of the population don't pay their fair share of tax at this point. 53.8% are net receipients of hand outs from the state and over 40% pay no income tax at all. Maybe we need to invert the ol...

Re: Test drive report
It’s the same weight as two MX5s though 😂 yeah, that is obviously other problem! But if they can work it to take advantage of the low CoG like a model 3 does, then it's potentially not as much of an issue as it could be. Helped by the fact it's also about 3x faster accelerating than an MX5. I just ...

Re: Test drive report
The Cyberster looks good but I don’t know what it is. Is it a Chinese attempt at a British sports car with some detail changes made in the U.K.? I’d rather have an MG that was knocked up in a shed by plucky British engineers. it's presumably aiming to be just an EV MX5 non? I quite like it - it's f...

I'm more concerned with the idea of a £50-60k MG.

Re: The ebay thread
Are the M5s that bad? My M3 was reliable and no problem for daily use - and it's effectively mechanically 80% of the M5. Yeah but age will be playing a part now. It's a 20yo car no? Lots of brittle plastic and rubbers (I've not watched the vid so no idea what work's been done!). People always seeme...

Re: Test drive report
Yep, Emira is a very correct decision for me. Something like an mx5 seems like a missed opportunity to me.

Re: The ebay thread
I love it when they say in ads for cars like that “Lady owner”. Like it’s only be used to ferry some dotty old retiree to the WI and her meals on wheels round. :lol: The previous lady owner is a petrolhead - people who buy 8 year old M5’s and then drive them for another 8 years are petrol heads. He...

Re: Car Hire Lottery
The overriding thing i'll take away from the experience however is the nannying. That’s pretty much anything modern really. My focus is a 2020 car and has such niceties as an over enthusiastic collision warning system- big red display that beeps and eventually brakes for you. Shits itself if you’re...

Re: Amazon and Proximity
The cheekiest example of geo targeted advertising is you have location always on for an app like uber. They track your location 24/7 and sell your data to retailers, they check that location data to see if you spent any time in a store and if you have they’ll start targeting you for marketing. Ther...

Re: Amazon and Proximity
They're definitely listening, but presumably this was a fluke? I remember talking to my missus about selling our old prams, push chairs and stuff ages ago - we decided it would end up being hassle because they needed properly cleaning and stuff., I then looked at my phone for something else and had ...

The colour is ok, though it does make the random XJ black c pillars stand out even more.

Re: Motorway Mile Munchers
I had a project in Middlesborough. The cheapest and quickest route used to be flying from Heathrow to Teeside (there used to be a flight out in the morning, then one back in the afternoon). Annoyingly they cancelled the service shortly after we started on site. It's a FUCKING long drive as we found ...

Re: The Movie Thread
I haven't seen the original for a long time, but i remember it being a lot more centred around actual fist fights in a RoadHouse (as in a rough bar by the side of a highway) rather than crashing speedboats into a straw roof beach bar?
