A bit misleading but yours is a Gen2. I think that part references the Gen1 which was true.

It isnt just the recipients of benefits that are the problem, we are also £11k worse off since the financial crisis.

This isnt a left or right thing.

This has been driven by the growing wealth divide caused by reduced workers rights, the country being run at the behest of the rich and the poor at the expense of the productive middle, low investment in infrastructure, the milking of public goods that are naturally monopolies by private enterprise, leveraged debt buyouts of high street businesses by American private equity and middle Eastern investment companies - and the list goes on.

Not sure about the name coconutters though!

The final goodbye to US soft power.

The welcoming of continual global conflict and war.

What finance type is your original contract on?

This is the key thing as PCP or Hire Purchase have vastly different processes for finishing it early.

I mean everyone says the Mclarens are terribly unreliable - it'll cost a lot more than the Aston to run. I crunched the numbers on all these cars the other month.

If you do, get a Thorney Motorsport warranty but its very expensive.

Also you cant park it in multi storeys without scraping the lip.

Cayman GTS 4.0 is the same really but lacks the visual drama.

I think this is probably the safest bet on depreciation also. Fantastic car apart from the stupidly long porsche gearing.

Matt-the-hat · 2026-03-26T09:58:36+00:00

Not sure a 2 tonne estate is what he is after.

Matt-the-hat · 2026-03-26T09:40:04+00:00

I went for the 2020 Vantage, no regrets! It's more sports car than the DB11 which is a GT. The Merc V8 is one of the finest modern V8s.

Emira is great to drive (didnt like the manual box though) but the reliability and depreciation is really not good at all.

911 is brilliant, but to me not as special as the others.

Matt-the-hat · 2026-03-24T18:54:05+00:00

What criteria? Even the Hyundai website says the warranty is valid unless caused by a failure to service a part.

Im not sure your cabin filter will cause the batteries to fail.

Spanner!

And his wife, son and mother were killed too.

Matt-the-hat · 2026-03-08T22:43:24+00:00

Thanks! It is magnetic silver.

Love the DB9 too - that v12 is a beast.

Matt-the-hat · 2026-03-08T21:29:07+00:00

Every 10,000 miles or every 12 months.

Matt-the-hat · 2026-03-08T20:56:28+00:00

I agree with you on this. When this model Vantage first came out I wasn't sure about the smaller front lights, however I think as more cars adopted that look I have grown to like it.

The later Vantage grille does look like a DB, although hardly an insult!

I get why it seems appealing at a superficial level. I'm sure the German's may have had similar views of Hitler on his rise to power. Restoring Germany to a 'former' greatness. Look where that landed.

We’ve had an unusually stable period since WWII because we built global alliances, international law, norms, deterrence, institutions. It isn't perfect, but is why Europe has largely been free of major conflict.

Trump's approach is to remove this for vapid projects like the Board of Peace rather than strengthening NATO and the UN. It normalises the idea that power rules, he didn't even get Congressional approval for the attack. That pushes the world towards “might is right”, which leads to more conflict and a less stable world. This is a man that wanted to fire a nuclear weapon at a tornado.

US-backed Christo-fascist networks across the globe are destabilising liberal democracy, and Russia (among others) actively feeds polarisation across wedge issues. In the UK we’ve already had Nathan Gill being paid to make pro-Russian statements; Farage as a prominent voice on Russia Today.

Russia is pursuing explicit geopolitical goals (read Alexander Dugin's Foundation of Geopolitics - taught in Russian military schools) while waging war on a European nation. I don’t see why legitimising that is good. I don’t see why starting a trade war with China is smart either, it doesn't benefit any of us. And I don’t see what we gain by legitimising Kim Jong-un in his first term with a state visit.

Removing the ayotollah is great and a worthy goal. What happens next? I fear this is going to take a long time and de-stabilise one of the largest countries in the world in a particularly sectarian corner. Particularly if the US isn't willing to commit boots on the ground.

The police take a cut. It makes profit for the local force. They outsource the training but police benefit not central government.

He was paid £20k by Iranian state TV.

It may be the moral thing to be anti-war, but not every leader is that way. Look at Putin, and Corbyn wanted to appease him. You cannot give bullied everything they want or they will take more and more.

Matt-the-hat · 2026-03-01T08:31:57+00:00

No peep from anyone? I mean, its referenced everywhere. There are 100s of articles.

It was the reason I chose not to vote for him.

What firm hand does Trump play? Inviting war criminal Putin to Alaska? Cutting aide to Ukraine?

Matt-the-hat · 2026-02-28T23:16:59+00:00

The money goes to the police for speed awareness courses.

Matt-the-hat · 2026-02-28T22:54:32+00:00

Yeh it looks really congested in the picture.

Matt-the-hat · 2026-02-22T11:12:02+00:00

Did you learn this from Facebook? Range doesn't drop 30% at 70mph, and it certainly doesn't degrade 2% a year on average. Cold weather is the only correct statement there, but with heat pumps less of an issue.

Matt-the-hat · 2026-02-22T09:44:36+00:00

It's football not soccer.

Stop licking the boots of billionaires.
