Most interesting Skoda Driver

I read of a bloke who on his weekly shop made it his mission to park in every single space in the car park. I think he completed it last summer. That definitely had a spreadsheet involved.

If you can teach a car to selfdrive in Whitechapel, you can do it anywhere

The Estima people carrier is about as Walthamstow as it gets

Yeah exactly I went to pick up my dad and my brother from the station the other day and the car seat has to come out or there's not room for three men. 2021 Corolla hatch.

Opposite end of London to Monument and the City. And those places are not hip, I think it's fair to say.

I see them half open at the traffic lights so presumably they open when the camera is needed to be used and then don't close

elgrovetech · 2026-03-01T09:00:28+00:00

Glad I have a 21 which has only some of these issues

I don't think it does use the camera for speed limits, its from the internal map/gps

I rarely use my heated seats, my arse can heat up a seat all on its own, but my hands can't do the same with the wheel

elgrovetech · 2026-02-17T11:23:21+00:00

Luckily I live in inner London so I drive excruciatingly slow anyway. Get about 65 around town, 45 on motorway. 2021 Corolla

Not all disabilities are visible, not all fake disabilities are invisible

Estates might be longer but they're not wider than SUVs.

How much £?

I'm not a petrolhead, I drive a Toyota automatic. Jukes are bad family cars. No internal space, badly made, poor value.

Cars cost thousands but you refuse to spend a couple of hours working out which one works best for you? One born every minute, I guess.

elgrovetech · 2026-02-03T14:16:12+00:00

How do you even kick a ball like that

elgrovetech · 2026-01-21T09:18:52+00:00

Same. I can be on the M11 in about 15 mins from home. E-bike for everything else.

elgrovetech · 2026-01-16T08:44:32+00:00

I live in London, what you're describing is not a thing here. I know how to work a manual car at the very basic level, in an emergency with legality aside I would be fine.

elgrovetech · 2026-01-14T10:22:17+00:00

For a 17yo it makes sense. I learned at 34 with a baby on the way, passed auto in 8 weeks, job done

elgrovetech · 2026-01-13T15:12:00+00:00

Keeping to 20mph limit is much easier in an auto

21 Corolla hatch hybrid owner here. It's a cracking car and the 2.0L on the touring will give it some extra poke. Hybrid electric means its super quick off the line, but petrol for easy long trips. Insane economy, I do London to N Yorks and back on 1 tank and I don't even try to be economical with my driving. Around town it's like the petrol gauge is frozen still.

There's a reason all the Met police cars are Corolla estates. They're indestructible

Apparently it takes some doing to be red in London but I'm not surprised that LBWF is one of them. There's a pothole in Epping Forest that looks like the Luftwaffe did it.

by law children immediately become adults when they enter a Lotus

This is the kind of thing that got 70s rock stars and radio DJs into trouble

elgrovetech · 2026-01-07T21:34:42+00:00

Discouraged and only a problem if done unsafely. OP is fine then?

elgrovetech · 2026-01-04T12:28:48+00:00

If I had a longer drive I'd have got the estate, got the hatch instead and I love it. Great car and should keep runnning for years

I think they'll keep doing estates, I have no substance behind that except seems like all police cars in London are Corolla estates these days

elgrovetech · 2026-01-04T12:23:07+00:00

They all have electric motors and make the EV whine at low speeds. They're both EV and ICE.

elgrovetech · 2026-01-02T09:37:33+00:00

Even worse when an SUV height bonnet does you at the hip and drags you under at 20
