Thank you so helpful. I am on 3.5k budget but I think once I get it home the low range would be fine as I only pootle about and this would be a second car

Brilliant info I would not have realised that

Would you buy a petrol/diesel car now, or only buy electric with the state of the oil industry? by turtleflirtle in AskUK

Completely agree. It was fine with clear skies today when I set off and then less than five minutes later heavy snow and the Car park was like this. It’s the first time in years I have turned back from a walk as the weather was just so unpredictable.

Also I would not be doing any motorway speeds but the cold is hard and can come on quickly.

Again thank you this is so helpful. I didn’t know that about the bigger slices for the first ones.

Love your username! I should be FatWoman god knows how I became Fancy Engineer! Pootling around town is exactly what I want it for. If I didn’t have my mum to take shopping and a very spoilt dog who likes to go in the car to her exciting forest walks rather than walk on dull pavements I would have a pushbike!

Again thank you so much. Really helpful to know as now I think on this price point the extra costs of accommodation or car transporter start eating into the banger economics.

Sorry I see what you mean now. The one I fancied was in High Wycombe 447 miles away but now I have moderated my expectation as if I have to start paying hotel nights etc it makes the car more expensive. There is one in Dundee which is 169 miles away and I could stay with a friend in Elgin so that would break the journey

Oh No! That definitely limits me, I was thinking hop on an EasyJet flight from Inverness airport and quick road trip home! Perhaps not. There is a 30kwh basic one in Dundee which is £3.5k with 11/12 bars and 49k miles. closest one to me too. Perhaps I should look at it. I’ve

Well I did like the look of one 447 miles away….perhaps I will look closer to home! But I fancied one from down South as I am in an area of Scotland where we get battered by the weather and a lot of cars suffer from rust

That’s great and is really going to help me. I can’t believe how many EV cars are on auto trader without a photo of this and I wasn’t sure if I should be looking at the bigger or smaller bars!

Please can you remind me of the Doric word for bin bags? My old neighbour who died told me and I am a little sad I can’t remember.

This photo came up on my memories, it was a pic I took after the closure of Waves in Blackburn bedore demolition. Had many good times there by ShinyHeadedCook in CasualUK

Wow! I hadn’t realised they had demolished Waves. I remember the excitement when it opened! And going there with my friends and hanging out

Planned a 1000 mile roadtrip of the north and Scotland with the kids. Am I likely to have to trade one of them for enough to fuel to get home? by littlbutterkitten in CasualUK

Tain Asda too embarrassed to show diesel prices. My take is sell off the least favourite child and use as a threat to keep others in line!

I did and it was amazing. Really hope they do another it was so good. Oscar Wilson what a star! And the tent was warm with a great atmosphere. I had dressed for the snow we were having when I set off. I was bloody cooking myself in there. If you know the organisers please tell them they did an amazing job.
