Interesting idea - Airbnb for cars. Sounds like it has the potential for loads of hassle though! Keep us updated with experiences!

Exactly, that's one of the reasons I went for a good value example instead of a mint, top spec verision. For example, the wheels are already kerbed :D

Indeed, interesting idea, compared to a typical car share service.
Might be a good way to try different cars out. I see there's a nice Disco down in Southampton, or a 2.5 BMW Z4 just down the road from me in Basingstoke.

Hi Gav!

Hi Gav. Hope nobody who hires it does this with it:

I’d be inclined to stick an apple airtag in it.
How about not having a sig at all?

I've got remote services turned on so I can track the car and lock/unlock via my phone anyway. Adding an airtag as well is a pretty cool idea though.

I'm not sure I could live with other people farting in my drivers seat, but I can see the appeal of it somewhere like London where owning a car and parking it on the street, insuring it etc for the six times a year you actually need need it might seem a bit excessive.

Also, ey up. Been a while, eh?

It has been a long time, it also occurred to me that we've known each other for twenty years :shock: how's life?

For varying definitions of known ;) have we actually met? :D

Life is steady away for me, looking for a new job so that I'm not scrimping and saving at the end of every month, thanks to mental health related poor financial decisions, but hey, what can you do? I'm walking and talking, that's good enough.

Only in the digital sense of 'meeting' :) sounds like life's 60/40 although which way around that ratio goes is anyone's guess :D

Shittest picture in the world, but I replaced the Alpine HU in the 4C with a cheapo Pioneer. Problem with the 4C is there is nowhere to securely put a phone. I don't like the once that clip to the vents, so found this for £100. No point spending huge amounts when I don't have DAB and it's not exactly known for its great audio setup. Put's an app on your phone to then control the stereo. Works quite well, I'm surpised.

Swapping a single DIN HU was like being back in the 90's! Not done it for years. Made all the easier by the fact I can just stick my head under the dash and access all the cables directly to the rear :lol: For some reason however this stereo has a 2.5mm audio jack so I need an adaptor, but not sure I'll bother.
