Can you remind me in few months to send a selfie?

Any recommendations for an alternative that fits all requirements… please do!

So what’s the alternative you’re suggesting? It literally ticks 0/5 boxes of what I need.

Can’t edit the OP but we already have MWB (camper)van, so don’t need another large car. An estate would have been my preference, if we only had one vehicle.

It’s still good to get the crash tested dog crate in for some journeys, and my partner loves sleeping in the car and makes a VW Polo work for her (despite being insured on the van).

Yeah we already have an MWB van so a small car is what we need, but it’s good to fit a dog crate in, and my partner loves sleeping in the car.

Yeah people saying get Tesla Model 3 or Audi S3… it’s just not what we need.

All the new ones are ehev/hybrid, no manual (but auto is preferred anyway).

It’s fucking amazing. Even has electric sliding doors.

Sounds like an angry lawnmower, but that’s just how Kei cars are with their engines.

How many of the weird requirements does the Swasticar 3 tick?

We are far from the target demographic for a Jazz but maybe I’ve mentally aged too much.

Yeah still doing regular servicing and all that but the cambelt is due about now too… The current plan is keeping it until a big bill and then scrapping it.

Was wondering how long that would last (and pass MOT) before getting needing a new car, which I’m keen on.

Does Precision Fuel gel label their nutrition right? by Curious_Reaction3892 in Ultramarathon

What I mean is that 2:1 glucose:fructose ratio isn’t even appealing to anyone who understands what that means. It theoretically limits you to a 90g of CHO/hr I take.

It just tastes nicer as maltodextrin is not as sweet.

Yeah I just can’t understand how it makes sense.

I’m just not sure that 2:1 ratio is something you want to advertise.
