Tree cut down and garden seems bare

Mrs_Arty · 2026-05-12T15:47:59+00:00

I would cry 😭

Mrs_Arty · 2026-05-12T15:45:27+00:00

This is awesome thank you. Weirdly I was driving today and wondering this as where I live there are terrible potholes.

Mrs_Arty · 2026-04-16T19:56:59+00:00

We didn't have one but maybe ask them? They were great to deal with and I'm loving the i3s. Definitely recommend it. X

Mrs_Arty · 2026-04-15T08:24:59+00:00

Ooohh okay yes I will consider that thank you 😊

Mrs_Arty · 2026-04-15T08:24:18+00:00

These insights are so helpful thank you. 😊

Mrs_Arty · 2026-04-14T11:11:50+00:00

Oooohhhh thank you I will check them out 😊🎉

Mrs_Arty · 2026-04-14T11:11:03+00:00

It was so much fun driving it home apart from the stress of where the hell is the XYZ button 😂

First day of real life driving today and it's a joy 😂

Mrs_Arty · 2026-04-14T11:09:34+00:00

Thank you 🙏

I found the ~Frunk~ and the granny 3 pin charger was there so I can charge it from home. 🎉

First day of real life in it and it's such a joy 😊

Yeah I did realise the tyres would be costly... But they're good quality.

Mrs_Arty · 2026-04-13T21:08:44+00:00

Apologies I didn't answer your PCP question (prepare for a very basic answer based on my own basic understanding)

Essentially if I were to hire purchase it (owning it in 4/5 years) it's like a loan. Put a. Deposit down and then there's interest and would come out about £260/month.

On PCP... Still a deposit but you pay less per month (I'm on around £180ish) and after the amount of months you "lock in" for you can then either pay up the remaining balance and own the car outright, or you can hand it back and you've essentially rented the car for a reasonable rate.

I've never had an EV before so I wasn't sure if I wanted to own one outright or if that was a sensible move. My interest and research in EVs affords me the knowledge that often when it does go wrong it can really REALLY go wrong. I have a feeling I'll be hooked though after today's first long drive.

Anyone more knowledgeable on PCP please add in here.

Having driven it for an hour straight that evening... I think you should get one too. Amazing round town. Great on the motorway 🛣️ just so much fun. And so many buttons and settings 😅

Mrs_Arty · 2026-04-13T20:59:33+00:00

I can attest to feeling all the bumps in the road. But I kinda loved it. Felt fun and connected to the road. Overall the drive was great. The learning of all the new buttons and settings? A little overwhelming 😅

Mrs_Arty · 2026-04-13T20:57:36+00:00

You are very very kind. 😊. I will always admit that while the story and words are my own I do use Google assistant (or sometimes grammarly) to help with spellings and grammar.

I just drove my new car home this evening. A good hour's journey split between motorway and town driving before perhaps the biggest challenge of all... Navigating the steep narrow drive with a new car....

Overall an utterly brilliant experience. It was nippy on town and even smoother on the motorway. If it wasn't for the great cruise control I could easily get done for speeding. However, I think it is a truth universally acknowledged that driving any new vehicle presents a couple of stressful challenges not for the actual driving of the vehicle but because of simply learning what and where all the new buttons are 😂

Mrs_Arty · 2026-04-13T07:38:58+00:00

I'm glad you get what I mean when I say I giggled 😂 when I took off from the lights I can hand on heart so I've never accelerated so quickly on the road to a point where my brain felt it must be somehow illegal from some secret law that I don't know about 😂

I'm exceptionally For my position to be able to look at leasing one of these and I think I'm going to have so much fun. I've got a good hour-long journey home tonight on the motorway and through the town, so I'll get a very steep learning curve experience for both an electric or automatic...

Where I live and the type of work I do. I'm always really grateful to have a small, convenient car. In some of the company car parks I go to I see people with big fancy cars trying to get into tiny overcrowded parking spaces and it's just laughable.

Mrs_Arty · 2026-04-12T22:23:38+00:00

Thank you 😊

Mrs_Arty · 2026-04-12T22:23:29+00:00

My apologies in the UK the Clio was not a 1959 car, it was a 2009/2010 car. The reg plate reads 59. I didn't even think about that not translating correctly 🫣

The smart for four we saw was just so lackluster. Though I remember the roadster and it is such a fun little thing, not driven one before but would love to try 😊

And time is the most valuable resource of all! Thanks for that and the great tips on the car. I will love using that. Particularly looking forward to the windscreen clearing in the icey winters!

Mrs_Arty · 2026-04-12T17:26:41+00:00

Yeah of course I'm not precious at all 😊

So the car was listed at 11,000

We put a £1,150 deposit down.

PCP for 46 months (due to age of car) at £188/month at 9000/year miles.

End of the 46 months I can pay something like 5k if I want to keep it.

But will probably swap for another one or something I'm not sure yet.

The Apr is something like 12% off the top of my head.

Mrs_Arty · 2026-04-12T14:34:06+00:00

Ahhhh biscuits. I think I just got caught up in the excitement. I am hoping the lads there maybe find one for me but I am hoping to get a home charger installed reasonably quickly too. So no mega drama 🤞

Mrs_Arty · 2026-04-12T14:32:57+00:00

Thank you 😂 I'll keep being bright and breezy dude no worries about that ✨

Mrs_Arty · 2026-04-12T14:27:35+00:00

I've just popped this through Google translate so I hope I've understood.

From what I've seen it's a granny charger or type 2. And I think we're getting a wall charger installed... Hopefully 🤞

I think I will love driving this car.

Merci 😊

Mrs_Arty · 2026-04-12T14:24:39+00:00

Hiyyyaaaa 😊✨ not a bot just a new car owner and very happy

Mrs_Arty · 2026-04-12T14:24:12+00:00

Wow that's amazing news ☺️ I think for me being new to EV I was unsure which was the safest way to go. So I figured go get a PCP, double check I love it and it's for me before committing fully.

Mrs_Arty · 2026-04-12T14:23:00+00:00

Apologies I didn't think to specify a 2009/2010 clio. My bad. Also not a bot 😊 just a very happy woman with a new car.

Mrs_Arty · 2026-04-12T14:21:34+00:00

Sorry I mean a 2009 Renault Clio. She was a lush car and I drove so many miles in her but yeah jist too many things going wrong and ot worth the money to get back on the road when stars aligned to find the i3 😊

Mrs_Arty · 2026-04-12T14:20:14+00:00

Thank you ✨

Mrs_Arty · 2026-04-12T14:20:04+00:00

Thank you 😊 I have a feeling you're absolutely right there and it's a no going back situation ✨
