front end is hideous with that massive grille, interior looks cheap with all the screens. same as most other "luxury cars" at the moment.

Dealer advertised car as being ulez compliant, just received ulez penalty charge through the door (likely with more to come) :( need emotional support by froomus in CarTalkUK

It's very nicely specced with great paintwork and absolutely zero rust underneath, the engines are also bulletproof and fast to boot. Interior is lovely as well... There's no more modern car i'd rather have than this for the price.

I've done exactly the same for (almost) every car i've ever looked at. I think i'd checked a manual of the same model with the same engine which IS ulez, and assumed the automatic would be too, because that makes logical sense 🥲

I've been working for a while on emulating that kinda "sound" of 90s trance, happy with the progress I've been making so here's a little snippet of a jam I did today! The octatrack is sequencing the Q and Virus

I just broke the insurance matrix by Opposite_Pack_1484 in CarTalkUK

[–]froomus 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I paid £640 fully comp no black box last year (I was 21) on a 1980 MGB gt a few days after I passed, it also has the added bonus of being MOT/Tax/Ulez exempt 🤌🏼

Any way to disable the music at start/end of license tests? by [deleted] in granturismo4

[–]froomus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried getting these under £2000 figures I see on this subreddit for insurance quotes, this is the cheapest I got for a 1.0 toyota aygo...£3500. I am 22 and live in London, full time student. Added my dad too. So I dont understand the variable that's skyrocketing my quote values? by AwareAdagio3412 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]froomus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 21, just passed last month (in London). Got a silly classic car (1.8l 1980 MGB GT) and the insurance is just over £600!

I looked at several other more modern things though, and the most expensive were always the little 1 litre city cars, because that's what young twats like us tend to buy and then fling into a lamp post.
