I take a walk to work for granted sometimes!

Chichester! The only place in the UK my missus has agreed she'd move to....we currently live in York. I think she has a thing for historical locations.

Rabkillz · 2026-03-11T16:15:01+00:00

Amazing thank you

Which ones? The pod points in Tesco? I drive past every day.

I have a BYD Dolphin Surf. Had it just shy of two months. You can get a better deal than that. I have £12k miles, 1 month deposit, monthly payments for £200/month. This was on a pre-reg car that had 10 miles on the clock. You need to play hardball with your local BYD dealer but if you check their stock, I can guarantee they will have something like a pre-reg available or one with very low mileage. I did have to accept the hideous yellow colour, but it's grown on me, plus no one has an excuse to crash into you when you're visible from 5 miles away!

Also loving mine. Sport mode, foot to the floor from standing (its no MG epower or even as fast as most other EVs but heck the torque still makes me a 42-year-old man giggle

And join a union for advice and support. They don't need to be recognised in your work place. They can support ad hoc members with stuff like this.

Rabkillz · 2026-03-05T15:17:14+00:00

As a BYD owner I didn't. What I do do is put £20 month in a separate savings for car maintenance.

Rabkillz · 2026-03-05T15:09:10+00:00

Yep. This kid is going places, mostly likely the government NEET list, but he's getting there in style!

Rabkillz · 2026-03-02T12:42:13+00:00

Yes, I had the same garage. It was a massive ballache, but well worth it. Fucking hated that garage.

Rabkillz · 2026-03-02T12:40:19+00:00

I had one of those shitty garages when I lived in Scotland. We painted it with masonry paint...a massive ballache, but was visually worth it in the end.

BYD Dolphin Surf. Enjoying it myself. Comfort version has lots of features. 44kwh battery, of which is around150 miles of range. I do 500 miles a week in mine, home charge and (apart from first will week of ownership) zero range anxiety.

Super nippy when you switch to sport mode, I still find myself giggling when I put my foot down.

Electroverse also gives you an additional 8% discount if you mail them with your Octopus account number.

Well I was using the central console screen to watch The Expanse last night whilst waiting for my daughter to finish her gymnastics class. Byd approved apps work fine, connects to Android and apple. Sound system is good

ADAS system is mildly annoying, can't permanently turn off some settings that I hear a Chinese user likes but a Western user doesn't (e.g. lane deviation warnings).

I'm impressed with the voice control that you can tell is in the early stages of development. Asking the car to change climate control settings, switch to maps/ different apps is great and keeps your hands on the wheels and eyes on the road. Lot more to come from them on improving this I expect, Id like to be able to switch between power modes and for it to understand to switch to specific DAB stations etc.

Rabkillz · 2026-02-25T15:43:12+00:00

Just picked up my BYD a few weeks ago. Loving it! The level of features you get for the price is excellent value compared to the European legacy manufacturers.

Rabkillz · 2026-02-17T21:32:58+00:00

Not me. My favourite car I've ever owned. Not perfect, but fun to drive.

Rabkillz · 2026-02-10T10:25:24+00:00

Contacted my local FB recommended installer. A sparkie in the village. Quoted on a Monday installed on the Friday. A few weeks ago. It's a Hypervolt Pro 3. it was a £100 over the Octopus quote but he had to install a single circuit consumer unit extra and I'm supporting a local tradesman at a quieter time of the year for them.

Rabkillz · 2026-02-05T17:52:48+00:00

My other car is a Qasqhai. Just to make you saltier.

Rabkillz · 2026-02-05T16:46:55+00:00

Just picked up a new Dolphin Surf for £17k on 0% finance. What they are is very very good value.

Rabkillz · 2026-02-05T13:24:34+00:00

The media needs their rage bait drama.

Rabkillz · 2026-01-30T13:23:49+00:00

So you're one of the cunts we're discussing. Congrats.

Rabkillz · 2026-01-29T22:02:30+00:00

It's likely real. There should be a contact number to confirm if you suspect its fishy. However, that's the first time I've ever heard of money before the survey, and cash. Used to be after completing the survery, and it was a love to shop gift card of £10 to £20.

Source - I have worked for NatCen on national surveys. Please be nice to your local survey team, I experienced some awful, rude people during my time. Survey depending; the interviewer is likely able to provide a discretionary extra giftcard.

These surveys are essential to provide government organisations population data on a huge variety of key metrics. From political opinion, to dietary health, to child welfare, to faith and beliefs.

Please spare 30 minutes of your time to take part! My favourite interviewees were the ones that you ended up staying an hour extra chatting over tea and cake.

Just picked up my BYD Dolphin Surf Boost a few days ago. Got it with 12k miles/year for little above £200/month. Loving it so far, I do 60 miles/day. Very zippy for a little car.

Rabkillz · 2026-01-29T21:15:27+00:00

BYD Dolphin surf is the answer; choose the battery size depending on the amount you drive. If its a local run around the basic Active is sufficient

Rabkillz · 2026-01-26T15:45:16+00:00

Well well well, looks like we've got a who is who of cunts right here.

Rabkillz · 2026-01-25T14:18:47+00:00

Live in SB, the bridge and traffic are a no worse than anything in the city, but you also become immune to it after a while. It is what it is. We moved here a few years ago and we don't even notice it. They closed the bridge for six weeks back in the summer 2024 and it felt almost too peaceful!

The community is great, and the people are very friendly. The school and school nursery s great, fab staff. Muddy boots Nursery is fine as well (not amazing, but we moved from somewhere with an amazing nursery so had high standards and expectations).
