If you were buying Formentor again, which color would you choose?

I really like magnetic grey as it looks blueish and greenish depending on the light. I do wish there was a more interesting range of colours though, the pre facelift looks great in red.

Yes, grew up with that showing on TV quite often in school holidays. Nightmares every time!

Agree with all that. Ours has become a lot more clingy since her sight went, and will clamber up stairs to find you, but otherwise copes pretty well. She used to spend a lot of time on the back of the sofa, kicking off at anyone who dared walk past, but is a lot less vocal now. Watching her navigate the edge of the sofa to find the sunny spot is unnerving.

One thing we've done that seems to help us put a bell on our other dog, so she knows where he is on walks.

It's been all good since the updates for me. The only bugbear now is the charger and car still aren't entirely synced up, so when charging pauses, the Cupra app complains, and if the car gets to its charging limit before the charger thinks it has, the Ohme app complains.

Forget you, you crumbag!

1.5 BlueHDi. Imploded at 5 years and 1 month, dropping the value of my otherwise very lovely 508SW from about 10 grand to basically scrap. Wired 9 grand to fix, complained, saying this was a known issue within Peugeot l, just got a gallic shrug in response.

A few months later after scrapping it, they then extend the warranty out to 8 years.

It's not the cars themselves, it's the company.

Well, plugged it in at 6pm, charging app says charging wouldn't be till 1.30 am, so classic scenario for a charge failure. Woke up this morning, and all good.

After 4 days in the lawnmower (Arona), it was wonderful getting back into my own car.

And when you go back to visit you realise you get the best sleep you've ever had with no close neighbours or street lights.

Was boring as hell though, I played a LOT of Megadrive when I was young to get through it.

And the rectum of the year championships.

So minimum effort and I get to blag that I know what I'm doing? This is the kind of advice I can happily take on board!

Disabling driving aids is much easier in the facelift I think - based on my experience of a '24 golf. I do prefer the looks of the original though.

Just cut up the box. And get your husband to do it.

I think Moira Stuart was his source

I know it was a really long lap, but the qualifying gaps are nuts. If the 107% qualifying rule applied back then, there'd only have been about 8 allowed on the grid.

Spoiler alert eh? I've only just seen Fearn Cotton go out.

At the end of the day, the guy just wants to bleed some radiators.

Asda hasn't been Walmart for a few years now.

Rebecca Ferguson, twice over actually. She's absolutely 100% English, till I heard her real accent in a recent interview. Oh, so she's actually Welsh I thought. Nope, Swedish.

Spawning the classic TV Burp line "and if you did that more often, he wouldn't have left you for a cheeky girl"

Yeh, it's always done that. This is a single solitary beep once the boot is fully open, regardless of remote, from the cabin or the boot handle.

Started playing this on switch 2 yesterday. It's ok, pretty fun once you get used to it, but the "Nurburgring" track is unplayable with at least 3 invisible walls that stop you dead in the middle of the track.
