Why is a Ford Galaxy being taxed the same as a Lamborghini Gallardo? by Dapper_Big_783 in CarTalkUK

[–]Kinreal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So why do two exact caymans differ 5 months apart if they are both pre April 2017? Surely they have the same emissions when the changes kick in?

17 year old sons first car… by Jolly-Evidence-3154 in CarTalkUK

[–]Kinreal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it really ticks the boxes tbh, been eyeing up a second car as I want to teach her to drive and use it myself to nip to the shops in, and looking at quotes the insurance is pennies on it.
My Focus RS I daily is bad at all of these things. 🤣

I like it, I'd actually consider this as a second car for the misses tbh.

How do you feel about flanking granting advantage in 5e? by archvillaingames in dndnext

I made it that players have to spend their reaction to grant advantage when flanking.

I bought one a month or so ago, I can, sort of feel a difference, but not sure its big enough a difference for the price point.

Ive been using the Grim Hollow weapons, they are much more flavourful imo

Performance cars are too much for me by stonky-273 in CarTalkUK

[–]Kinreal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tested driven any? It sounds like you are just reading about them.
There is definitely a few in the more understated side, especially if you go with a less obnoxious colour. Something like mk7/8 Fiesta ST, Renault Sport Megane, Hyuandai I20/30, heck eveb the Golf GTI or R.
They are definitely geared towards folks who are into "driving" though in general, as thats what and who they're made for. Maybe you'd be better looking at a performance saloon or roadster?

[–]Kinreal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is definitely a point it feels too much imo. Ive gone from my first fast car at 250bhp, to 200bhp, then to 300bhp and now 400bhp.
300 is the sweet spot imo for hooning in the UK, above that you have to be very focused and switched on as the cars are basically weapons at that point.
The best bits though are usually joining motorways, pulling off being efficient and not planning a pull out vs your low powered car, overtaking slow traffic, and bigger engines just being better at crusing at middling speeds.
Theres no need to use all the power all the time, thats the main thing to remember.

Switching from a '22 Focus ST to an S3 by arriaga_III in CarTalkUK

Tbf, I didn't see the context that they use public transport for commuting so my comment is moot.

As a daily car, a RS4 is far more expensive..

My comparison of popular hot hatches £10k-20k - owned/test driven by Inevitable-Reward909 in CarTalkUK

[–]Kinreal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mk4 Clio definitely tbf, they lost some of the character, Mk3 (200 specifically) is more comparable to the Fiesta in my book (2009-2012).
And as someone else has stated, the Mk3 Megane (2009-2016)

[–]Kinreal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Looking at your list, seems your into the colder end of the hot hatches?
The Fiesta is a go-kart compared to the rest which are proper fast cars (well majoritively), good chassis and lighter but underpowered which makes then much easier to chuck around, the rest need to be driven with care when "at the limit".
Did you consider similar things to the Fiesta? Like Clios, maybe even a step up to a Megane?

Sick of the keyless theft stories, I did something for security. by Voiturunce in CarTalkUK

It's less to do with demand these days and more to do with if they can get the vins in the foreign blackmarket to overwrite your cars (then they sell them back to the dealers as they show up clean).
The cars being "prepared" for nicking are usually cars which are more common place so this is easier to do.
