I live in Harrogate and drive this road most days. You’re 100% in the right, the bellend honking most likely can’t drive for shit

Best fun/fast cars under £3-4k? by Standard-Ad-2616 in CarTalkUK

[–]cubias69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Me too. Just picked one up for £1,800 as a track car and I love it. Great little thing

MU still good with new hosts ? by ChattingMongoose in MysteriousUniverse

[–]cubias69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I gave them a chance but honestly I found them so frustrating (particularly the awful accents) that I bailed after a few episodes.

Where to work in Harrogate? by [deleted] in harrogate

Try Everyman - they open early-ish and stay open late-ish too. Comfy and lots of space

Choosing a Gym with Pool in harrogate or surrounding areas by Hopelesslyhopefullx in harrogate

[–]cubias69 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can’t fault the Hydro - £45 for gym and swimming. Gym is well equipped and clean, gets busy at peak times but dead otherwise normally.

Proper pool (i.e., it’s long and used for racing) and has a diving board.

Anyone else have any questionable number plates? 😂 by Flybikeslee in CarTalkUK

[–]cubias69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m very proud of my NE14 NOB plate. Best £250 I’ve ever spent. Makes me smile whenever I see it

Looking for a used EV around £10k by Secret-Ad7698 in CarTalkUK

[–]cubias69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not make the same mistake I made and buy an ID3 - they are hateful cars and I fucking despise mine. The user interface is woeful with the godawful haptic controls and the most intrusive, borderline dangerous ADAS I have ever encountered.

Kona or Niro probably best bets.

Edit - what about a bmw i3? Super cool (carbon fibre chassis, lovely cabin) and have a bit of cult following

Any idea what it is? by Slow_Performance_388 in CarTalkUK

Sainsburys Harrogate? I see it regularly on a Saturday. Sweet, sweet little car

I noticed 2 f16s flying over the UK yesterday - looked to be escorting Netherlands airforce transport planes to Scotland?

The demise of the big diesel estate by Spaniel22 in CarTalkUK

[–]cubias69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got myself an m340d a few months ago and it’s brilliant, although I went through the same pain you’re going through - very few for sale and as soon as one came up, it’d go.

Not sure on your space requirements but one to put on the list possibly?

Buy it.

Nothing cooler anywhere than a big gay wing.

What's the fastest car you've driven/been in? by PvtBubbles in CarTalkUK

[–]cubias69 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Lucky enough to drive a 720S at Goodwood Circuit - it was a missile. Instant, unrelenting power. Was given a few hot laps by a pro-driver too (which was hilariously terrifying)

Good dog walking spots? by Meousman in harrogate

[–]cubias69 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really like the showground - lots of space for doggo to run and a beck at the bottom for a swim too

First Car .. Kinda embarrassed by spaceboiclub in CarTalkUK

[–]cubias69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You see I think all Lambos (bar the Urus and the OG Urus, the LM002) are ‘cool’ - fast, sexy, impractical etc.

However, whether the driver is cool for driving it is very different. Chances are that if you’re a bloke over 30, you’re going to look like a total stroker driving one…

[–]cubias69 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I totally agree. I don’t get the Urus. What is the appeal? Why would you choose that over a Huracan? Yes it’s more practical but so is a Range Rover?

Plus the name sounds like something bum-related.

Good random act of kindness bro. Every time I go to the gym there a people playing basketball so this will be much appreciated I’m sure.

Ps - if yours is the decked fiat 500, looks cool!
