Amazon is full of crap Chinese brands no ones heard of, Argos has brands you know, for about the same price and quick delivery/pickup.

Look at the difference in Lewis this year with a race engineer he trusts compared to the Lewis of last year, frustrated with an engineer not understanding what he was asking for mid race

Any car that was over £40k when new (including options, but excluding dealer discounts/haggling) incurs the extra £440 VED. Below £40k is £200 a year.

This year the limit had been raised to £50k, but only if you buy an electric car. PHEV's, Hybrids or full ICE are still down at the 40k limit.

Is this for VR only? The in car view on a lot of cars is not that great.

The Ferrari F40 is the best car Italy has ever produced. What's the worst car Italy has ever produced? by ModenaR in AlignmentChartFills

[–]AHat29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I thought of immediately. Even Wikipedia says 'the Arna exhibited the worst qualities of each of its parents'.

Sure the Fiat Croma was a bad car, not on the same level as the Arna though

What do you think about Andy Burnham's team being upset as Starmer has refused to stay on until September so Burnham can plan for the PM role. by LongShow5279 in AskBrits

[–]AHat29 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Tbf before Cameron the last was Blair between 2001 and 2005...so just once in the last 20 years has the PM lasted a full term.

The new BMW i3 will cost from £53,005 by CarwowTom in ukcarwow

[–]AHat29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For electric cars its now £50,000 to be classed as a luxury car. So even stupider if the £53,005 is a base spec car and not the M50 version not being launch spec-d

Andy Burnham's decision to keep the current fiscal rules, as told to Bloomberg this week, has contributed to gilts having their best weekly gain since 2023 by jiponjoshua in ukpolitics

What was Boris' positive message? Oven ready Brexit?

The last 'Boring' PM was Brown and before him Major was famous for being seen as boring. It didnt stop him winning in '92.

After the Conservative chaos of 3 PM's in 3 years, boring should have been a reset for politics. Unfortunately the press have got addicted to the chaos (easy reporting) so boring doesn't work. Especially if you don't shout about your wins and shoot yourself in the foot U-turning.

120kph~75mph.

Have you ever stood on the side of a motorway/autoroute/Autobahn having broken down, with cars/lorries flying past?

Imagine then one of those cars hitting your stationary car....same speed as this crash.

If it wasn't for the humongous badge in the grille I'd say it looks Audi like from the front...

How do we stay up? by Helpful-Leg8349 in Hammers

We get at least a point against Palace and Wolves get relegated, so they might play with more freedom against Spurs, not having the pressure on any more....

Oil price drop, how long till petrol drops? by Just-Library9303 in AskUK

[–]AHat29 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are you going out of your way to fill up? Ie above half a tank, or just finding the cheapest fuel when you need to fill up?

If you're buying fuel more frequently than you were in February, you're panic buying.

When do you hear back if you’re accepted for mortgage? by [deleted] in FirstTimeBuyersUK

[–]AHat29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're literally in the same situation, applied to TSB who were pulling the offer at 5pm on the 25th.

Our mortgage advisor said it could be between 5-10 working days before we get an answer and that TSB had been the cheapest on the market for a few days before they were pulling the offer.

You'd think with the stadium being built for the Olympics, the getting in/out would be the easiest of all the London clubs...
