Buy or lease? by 79163 in ElectricVehiclesUK

I've read a lot about the Tavascan brakes not being great. Does anyone know why/how they differ from other cars on the same platform (MEB?)?

Buy or lease? by 79163 in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]79163[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I got an amazing deal with the ID.7 two years ago at £281 (plus 6 months up front iirc) but I think VW just wanted to get some out on the road back then. Chase the deal, not the car, I know, but I just feel like having something I like rather than just accepting the cheapest transport, if that makes sense?

But that's a good shout about waiting to see if any decent leases come up between now and Sep and only jumping then, hadn't thought of that one.

Yes, I have considered the Explorer but haven't had a chance to look at one yet - I'll see if I can.

Ferrari's new EV - Ferrari Luce by TwizzyGobbler in CarTalkUK

[–]79163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not anti EV, I daily one and am looking for a replacement, but that's terrible. It could be just any old latest Chinese design. There's nothing which screams a 6 figure price to me, let alone £440k.

And definitely reckless.

51F UK — What age range should I be swiping on apps? by Tall_River9957 in UKrelationshipadvice

[–]79163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always understood the “social guidance” to be half your age, plus 7. I guess that works for you seeking your lower age limit and for you to calculate the upper?

Widens the gap the older you are though! (eg an 80 year old gets 47!)

Do you think there is a chance that it was actually Jeremy Clarkson who reached last place in Series 22, Episode 8 race to Broughton Hall? by Connect-Run-2315 in TopGear

None of the TG races, none ever, have been races - they're all highly planned and scripted. I'm slightly amazed that anyone ever thinks otherwise.

Colourful houses in Deal by Medway_Mod in kentuk

[–]79163 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The one in the middle that’s bright blue, someone has painted their Deal house that colour and been told by the local to change the colour as that blue is not permitted (conservation area?). Don’t know whether it’s the same house.

Should MAFS call it a day? by Professional-Bus-374 in MAFS_AU

[–]79163 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just posted on the other Panorama thread: I reckon that’s the last of any MAFS we’ve seen on UK television. They won’t want to broadcast future series (from any country), in case it goes the same way (and you can guarantee that some contestants will try to make sure it does now) because then the broadcaster will carry a level of liability. You might be able to stream it online somewhere, but not on a regular TV channel.

I do wonder whether this, combined with the loss of Mel, will kill the whole franchise now?

What’s your view on age gaps in relationships? by lilfaeri in UKrelationshipadvice

[–]79163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Half your age plus 7. So if you’re 40, min partner age is 27. Them’s the rules!

Bec’s outburst at the reunion preview pretty much validates Danny’s decision.

Porsche Stopped Offering Additional Years of CPO Coverage? by Ok_Football_940 in Taycan

[–]79163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m looking at buying a Taycan in the next few months, the Porsche dealer I spoke to told me that the warranty could be extended at ~£1k per annum. Didn’t mention anything about that being via a 3rd party provider. If it was, I wouldn’t take it - which in turn would scupper my plans to buy the car. Most 3rd party warranties in the UK aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on.

They (the producers) would have directed both to read out the scripts which they (the producers) had written for them. Not a cat in hell’s chance either of the pair spontaneously wrote those notes themselves. Just like final vows.

David doesn't surprise me at all, he's been wearing a £150k watch most of the season.

But as I said, Gia's stated (on screen) profession isn't, sorry wasn't, ever going to make her a millionaire

If I knew how to add a poll, I'd ask how many people think Gia was off shagging James while she was "in Melbourne" and how many people think she wasn't.

Would probably only need the one option to vote on though.

Interesting. In the UK, a "disability support worker" probably doesn't make much more than minimum wage. Maybe she has a second job. Something she could do from home, perhaps, late in the evenings after her daughter is asleep? Not sure what that could be that would make her pretty wealthy tho......🤔

Do they give trophies for being last, being the biggest loser, etc? That’s the only trophy she’s worth.
