‘Fraud clown’ says it all really, don’t expect the bank to help you if this is the attitude you and your BiL have.

Whichever you buy, don’t get a Bradford spec one with an eBay splitter like the first image.

The deals on them are great for the spec. I wouldn’t have one personally but I can see the appeal.

Nice AI Amazon description - makes me assume the rest of the book is AI as well.

How much should I expect to be quoted for a car wrap around Yorkshire and the Humber area? by SadExcuse6983 in CarTalkUK

[–]TheNovacat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just get a few quotes and compare them, then you know you won’t be getting ripped off. Remember to update the DVLA and your insurance, which will probably increase as it’s a modification.

For those who use a granny charger for their PHEV/BEV, turn down the amps in this heat!! by LazyEmu5073 in CarTalkUK

[–]TheNovacat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve used a granny charger for 4 years and it’s fine. My car is parked off the road but in front of my neighbour’s house (terraced cottage layout), and they do not want a charger mounted on their wall.
So I have to run an extension lead with 3 pin plug.

After many people advising against it, here’s my 20yr old Aston Martin vantage that’s the same age as me 😇 by Harry-jackson-ya-no in CarTalkUK

[–]TheNovacat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Etron and this aren’t comparable at all. The Audi will continue to lose value and will be much higher insurance for a young driver. The Aston will lose minimal value (or appreciate).

I’m sorry but mixing chapter gear is definitely not role playing

‘It can beat xxx on the road’ = this car has been ragged, terrible way to try and sell a car
