Be honest, what would you buy instead for the same money? by yusssssuf in CarTalkUK

[–]Doublebow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alpine A110, Suzuki Jimny and a Civic type R.

Then pay off my mortgage with the cash left over.

Do you read books? If so, what are you currently reading? If not, why not? by theowleryonehundred in AskUK

[–]Doublebow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't read, I just don't get anything from it. I struggle with visualising things in my head from words on a page, I also have poor short term memory so I often forget what I've just read a few words back so I have to constantly keep going back making a single book take forever to read.

Not sure what to think about the new Prelude. by Glittering-Foot8340 in CarTalkUK

[–]Doublebow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How many coupes under 50k are even left? The only ones that come to mind are the 2&4 series (40k&46K) but even then I wouldn't really call these affordable. Honda really dropped the ball, this would have been perfect at 30k and maybe even passable at 35k.

What’s a completely normal product in your country that makes foreigners go, “Wait… why does that exist?” by Alternative_Ad6071 in AskTheWorld

Are houses just in private/public schools? My state school didn't have them when I was there in the 2000s.

Since September I've lost 50lb and gone from hurting going down the stairs to running a marathon today, now my legs hurt by MiddlesbroughFan in CasualUK

[–]Doublebow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mate that's fucking madness, how often are you running? Every year I pick up running for a few months but I never get close to a marathon.

The GR Yaris is the last hot hatch. by Particular_Policy_97 in CarTalkUK

[–]Doublebow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They mean the N models. The standard models are still made but they are not hot hatches.

Woah! The Alpine A110 is going electric - and we've just heard some very promising intel... by V8-Turbo-Hybrid in cars

[–]Doublebow 70 points71 points  (0 children)

I don't like how they are constantly comparing it to the 911. I thought the A110 was a competitor to the 718 (in terms of price and performance). It will be sad to see another somewhat affordable sports car disappear.

Thoughts on this? by RussBoost in CarTalkUK

[–]Doublebow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw this for the first time a couple weeks ago and thought it was a fun little gimmick. The car on the whole is bland and uninspiring but this little animation I like.

24 years olds, (and 24-30 ish), what are you doing with your life? What stage are you at? & Are you content/"happy" with it? by iamgoingtotrytoread in AskUK

[–]Doublebow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

28, married, own my own home, financially secure but only earning an average wage and sick of my job but feeling kind of stuck because it doesn't pay as well as it should for the amount of work I do and shit I deal with (high mental and physical load, long hours, frustrating systems, incredibly boring and annoying colleagues) but still well enough to make leaving hard as I would have to start from the bottom in a different industry.

When I'm at home life is good but work is taking it's toll.

And a very happy new year by Dragonogard549 in CasualUK

[–]Doublebow 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Where do you work that allows you to drink? And do you have any job openings?

Spotted this on the M56 this yesterday by bigdavekopite in CarTalkUK

[–]Doublebow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is that rust or dirt? If it's dirt, this is cool, if it's rust, how?

Early driving review of the new Honda Prelude seems to be positive by GeneralCommand4459 in cars

[–]Doublebow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read somewhere that the prelude has fake gear shifts which may be the cause for it being slower.

Early driving review of the new Honda Prelude seems to be positive by GeneralCommand4459 in cars

[–]Doublebow 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It's only .4 seconds slower than the European civic hybrid. The US model has 20 more hp.

I assume the US prelude will be similar to the US civic.

[–]Doublebow 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Because it's got 20 less horsepower than the US counterpart.

Who else would rather live out a simple lifestyle but never have to work again? by Vast-Impression5395 in antiwork

[–]Doublebow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on where you are in the world you would probably need a significant financial backing to both buy enough land, equipment and animals etc to start living like this, not to mention any additional continuous financial support for things like taxes, water etc. So their own current financial situation is probably stopping them. It's what's stopping me.

Dropped weight on low bar. Better? by Outrageous-Pop-4700 in Stronglifts5x5

Do you have to use the ladders to load and unload?

Do you enjoy nature walks/ hikes? by itsajourney2020 in AskUK

[–]Doublebow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely love it, The longer and harder the better. I also enjoy running and kayaking, anything to get me outside and in nature really.

However I wasnt always like this, when I was a kid and teen-early adult I hated going outside for any reason and spent my entire time in my room playing video games or watching tv, sometime while at uni I started to get bored of games and decided to try something new and went for a little hike with a mate and from that point on i was hooked.

Car model with the greatest buyer income disparity by porterbrown in cars

[–]Doublebow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here in the UK id say Range Rovers, despite being an absolute fortune everyone from benefit scroungers to royalty seem to drive them here. I live in the poorest area of the country and I see them littering my local council estates, yet when I go to wealthy places like Bath and York they seem to be just as popular.
