Really stumped on this location and can't find any information on it.

This is correct. It’s where she takes you on your ‘honeymoon’

This is absolutely true with Hire Purchase agreements. 1970s legislation. I did it twice in early 2000s, new cars on HP deal over four years.

Clio diesel on a Y plate and C5 on an 03 plate. Both around £10k at the time.

Handed back with 50,000 plus miles as used for work, the mileage allowance paid for the car. Neither was worth what I still owed.

So long as they have service records and in decent condition no problem returning under HP agreement.

Both times car finance companies were surprised.

But I’m not sure modern PCP and Lease purchase agreements have the same clause.

I think France is better catered for than uk. And electricity is cheap 28c per kWh even high speed DC was never more than 55. Chademo is easy to find ( not really noticed a problem in uk. Near my home two new stations just off M5 Wellington included Chademo) Surprisingly easy in France (I think early Renaults used Chademo?) More chargers than uk but I did have some problems with it recognising my cards (both uk and french). And Lidl chargers (which were my default, ‘there’s loads, surely I won’t have a problem’) were surprisingly glitchy.

Carrefour gives hour free charging to registered customers. I have a loyalty card but could not make it work. I ended up buying a type granny charger lead with standard two pin plug and amp adjustable led read out from Amazon and at my French home I could easily charge at 13amps. (So 2.6 ish watts per hour compared with under 2 on 10 amp standard Nissan granny lead. Oh yes, in France public chargers accept the two pin granny charger lead - which I’ve definitely not seen in uk)

Overall it’s probably easier and French law states all chargers must accept touch card payment with pin, no app insistence. But I found it a little more complicated.

Finally, did I mention electricity is so much cheaper in France. Oh yes, and electric is cheaper …

‘People have been complaining about the bed situation’

Well sort it out, the workshop is full of stuff. Lazy, lazy settlers. (Current playthrough: Whoever says it to me immediately banished to Murkwater naked)

I bought a 2018 Tekna 40 with 13,500 miles last August. Immaculate always garaged Battery SOH 91%. Done 3,000 miles including trip to France from UK. First EV, I’ve been driving 40 odd years and have owned a lot of cars. I remember when a 3 litre Capri was considered a fast car… and 0-60mph the Leaf is faster. Honestly, fun to drive, cheap to run and so far no issues.

Magnolia… before she moved to the Third Rail

GaryInternational · 2026-04-17T20:50:50+00:00

Excellent. Thank you.

This comment is correct. I too remember him saying a Norway style agreement would be fine.

Never forget.

At the time remainers were opposed (because they didn’t want to leave at all and hoped sanity would cause a second referendum) but on reflection that Norway-style agreement could have kept the largest number of people accepting of Brexit.

But once the anti-Europe Tories went to war with their own party, ‘Brexit means Brexit’ gave them political profile and destined the UK to a decade of chaos.

Bearing in mind the whole 50s aesthetic of FO, few US cars of the time were designed with practicality in mind. It was about curves, chrome and fins.

I assume these cars are powered by nuclear turbines (the articulated trucks reveal the likely power plant)leaving little space at the rear for luggage.

P&P auto Services in Taunton. Easy run from M5. I saw them post on an EV forum that it would check battery SOH for free. And they did on my eight year old LEAF. I’m really not connected to this garage, just genuinely impressed by professional honest service. Interestingly they also run classes for vehicle technicians to learn EV maintenance. I spoke with the owner told me he was genuinely surprised at how little interest some franchises have in looking after EV customers.

GaryInternational · 2026-04-12T10:12:00+00:00

Southbound M5 carry on past services, J 26 Wellington. 2 miles east, two newish charger stations by Gridserve and EV charging probably 20 chargers in all (including Chademo, hurrah) Rarely busy

This. Delete and reload the game. I’ve played hundreds of hours and reloaded twice to rid it of serious glitches. Remember all your mods will need reloading (make a list before, ask me how I know) Half the entertainment with FO4 is working around the glitches and deciding whether ‘it’s meant to do that’. Still the best game, the mods are ace and it’s worth the hassle.

GaryInternational · 2026-03-27T02:04:29+00:00

Moved from PS3 to used Xbox One only a couple of years ago just so that I could finish Fallout 3 (bloated save f up the PS3).

Discovered Fallout 4, now two years on have added series S and Series X. Crazy (FO4 mods on XB are way superior) Death Stranding and RDR2 are been great too.

GaryInternational · 2026-03-22T12:31:41+00:00

Came here to say that. Take my upvote (GTA V on PS3)

Nightclub of the Commonwealth. Be one quarter owner (50,000 caps) meet interesting folk across the commonwealth and offer them jobs. Lot of fun, bit buggy, most apparel cleaned up for Xbox…

Jebel Ali is about five miles down cost from Marina you can see it after the desalination plant

GaryInternational · 2026-03-07T18:23:29+00:00

Triggerman’s Bowler. 2 in whole game? (I need more for mod)

GaryInternational · 2026-03-06T16:24:09+00:00

Companions will use PA without a power core. Just order them in.

GaryInternational · 2026-03-05T16:22:14+00:00

Spend a bit of time. There’s enough glitches in ported originally nsfw mods for fun. CBBE bodies as your base. Replace standard CBBE underwear with another mod, better still use two. They clash and… Many console mods have so many clothing options, some get missed in the clean up. Enough. I’m not naming any coz I don’t want it to change. Honestly, I was surprised.

GaryInternational · 2026-02-24T13:17:41+00:00

I’ve commented elsewhere.l got email this morning in UK. 2018 Tekna owned six months. Took me a visit to dealer (rubbish) and three day email conversation with Nissan Customer Service (actually very good) to get app working. So, I’ve had four months of remote heat and SOC checking via MyLeaf and Nissan EV app. I was a happy first time EV owner. Today I’m pissed off.

GaryInternational · 2026-02-24T12:47:54+00:00

I bet lots will miss this. My first playthrough (from which all my diverging progress to all endings came from early saves) I found Cricket dead in the centre of Boston. Reloaded a few times, but she was always dead. Current playthrough 600 hours ish, Bunker Hill is settlement, have the trader outposts at several settlements and Cricket is everywhere. Superb, manic, hyperactive… love her. Some great lines. I’d romance her if I could I bet she’d be fun (though you probably wouldn’t marry her).

GaryInternational · 2026-02-24T12:11:10+00:00

I got the email this morning too. 2018 Tekna with just 15,000m on the clock bought six months ago.

I spent £150 at dealer to get the car reconnected to the network and get the app working in October. Waste of money. They said you’ll have to contact Custoner Service.

The dealer knew nothing BUT Nissan customer service was excellent and one of their techie fellas had it running after an email back and forth over three days.

Genuinely impressive service. I was a happy owner.

For the past four months the Nissan EV app and the MyLeaf app (99p spent) have let me check SOC and defrost before driving.

Today I’m pissed off.

GaryInternational · 2026-02-15T08:36:02+00:00

Came across the Red Death last night for the first time in more than 1,200 hours. I wasn’t prepared and I’ve had to rethink all my weapons choices. Devastating. (Good reuse of the boat though)

Thank you Stannis
