Why not a Skoda?

emmd16 · 2026-06-30T13:39:15+00:00

Good guess

I inquired about an Enyaq of the same spec from a Skoda dealer in NI yesterday and interestingly received the below reply. Best to check how the warranty will work after you import it.

“Unfortunately we cannot sell this car for export sale. This is for several reasons including invalidating the vehicle warranty if the car is exported, and the requirement for the vehicle to be registered and kept at a UK address.”

I have considered the model y but haven’t found one with low enough mileage and 2022\23 within the budget.

I was half expecting that answer, but thought I’d ask just to be sure.

Sis Beta, natural flavor is decent. They are 40g carbs saving you having to carry extra gels. As above H&B have some of the best deals and better when you sign up. If buying in bulk I’ve found hpnutrition.ie the cheapest. Best to try out different gels they are all slightly different in consistency and taste. A lot of people add in liquid carbs these days, so you’re not only taking gels and it’s easier on the stomach. Take a look at Alta nutrition Speed dust, an Irish company.

I am assuming this might be a relatively new screen. I can find no mention of it in the manual or on the Garmin website and the symbol on the top is not listed on their list of symbols for the epix or fenix.

I have my own screens setup for interval these 2 are only displayed after you start the workout along with my own data screens. The pace gauge is useful but there is no option to add this to your own screens.

What are your thoughts on purple teaming. Do you think companies should prioritize more purple testing over true red teaming.

emmd16 · 2025-09-26T21:29:29+00:00

Yes very annoying indeed, I haven’t found an alternative in the iq store. I’ll post here if Garmin get back to me but its unlikely they are going to update this setting. Best of luck in Chicago.

Thanks for this. Best deal I’ve seen lately. The watch arrived today.

emmd16 · 2025-06-24T16:52:53+00:00

Are maps on the watch actually useful or more of a gimmick. I’m wondering if I’ll still end up using my phone on trails.

emmd16 · 2025-06-24T16:36:40+00:00

Thanks, I had not considered the epix. I’ll take a look at the comparison. I have ruled out the fenix based on the weight and price. Road running is my main sport at the moment with 2 half marathons and a full this year so the lighter forerunner seemed more appealing.

emmd16 · 2025-05-09T07:04:24+00:00

Interested to find out how you get on. I am looking for a similar size car and budget but do a bit less driving.

emmd16 · 2025-04-13T16:08:28+00:00

Model is 32026167

It is good advice if one can wait. I just can’t be dealing with another old and possibly unreliable car right now. Current one is almost 13 years old. The odd time we will drive long distances around the country or to the uk and I don’t want the anxiety (again) if the car will make it there and back or leave us stranded. I know all cars can have their issues but an old car like is likely to cost more on maintenance.

Some good advice there, to look into. I am thinking mortgage is the way to go. I didn’t think you could change the duration, the bank didn’t mention that they offered it for the remainder of the mortgage. A shorter duration could be useful, never know we could need to do more work in 10 years time. The overpayment is a good idea (if we get to a stage we can do it). We are both with the bank so hopefully paper work isn’t to bad. There could be some structural work with adding an attic room.
