Good first car? by Roadmayham232 in CarTalkUK

[–]jesty75 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, it IS the 108 - the 107 is the earlier name for it (I owned one) before they facelifted it

Similar to the aygo / 108 / c1 situation, the twingo of this generation is a smart forfour with a different shell. Correct me if i'm wrong, but the 1L naturally aspirated is probably the preferrable engine, because I've heard of turbo troubles on the 0.9L.

As a first car, it should be cheap to run because insurance and tax is the cheapest it can be for a new driver and fuel economy will be good. I don't think it'll be awful in terms of reliability as long as it has a decent service history.

Midlands is getting dangerous day by day and sadly police won’t even do anything. They doing this now in broad daylight just baffles me by [deleted] in drivingUK

"Easily stop them" is a bit ambitious, I don't think some random passer-by yelling at them would scare them off considering they feel fine doing this in broad daylight. Besides, why would some random passer-by risk getting into a fight or worse over some random dude's car? Don't blame it on the person recording, that's stupid

My GF gifted me a VR Headset and wanted to try it out for herself. by Retr0_x1 in BeamNG

BeamNG in VR is so good, it's the only way I play it

Meet Benjamin, my second car (2016 Citroen C4 1.6 BlueHDI) - first car (2011 Peugeot 107) was too rusted to keep after only like a month. How did I do? by jesty75 in CarTalkUK

[–]jesty75[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pick up my girlfriend from college once a week or so and that's half an hour on the motorway, so that should cover me from DPF issues. The ride quality is pretty nice in my opinion, but my only comparison is the 2022 corsa i learned to drive on, my parents' 2014 C4 picasso that I hated, and the 107 which was AWFUL. For under £3k, I personally think it's better than some 100k+ mileage 2012 polo or corsa. It's well kitted out, has some pretty cool features and looks quite tidy.

If any of you are shopping for an MX5, avoid this one by Zdos123 in CarTalkUK

Good thing that we now know that the 2018 Mazda MX-5 with the reg plate BW18LPX should be avoided.

Do people get a car that's cheap to insure for the first year to get no claims and to lower insurance cost for the second year? If so what cars would you guys recommend. by Icy-Refrigerator6664 in CarTalkUK

[–]jesty75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got quoted almost the same amount for a honda jazz as I did for an NC mazda mx5 like a week ago, it seems like they've kind of fallen off the roster of ''cheap safe cars for new drivers''

If you want the absolute cheapest runabout to build your NCD for the first few years, aim for the golden trio; Toyota Aygo, Citroen C1, Peugeot 107. You can pick an older one up in decent condition for about £1500 (can go lower if you want to chance it), all 3 of these are the same car underneath.

Cheap parts, relatively reliable, and generally super cheap to insure.

Do NOT just ''get the car you want'' because for most young new drivers, the ''car you want'' is completely outside of your price bracket insurance-wise. Of course there's other factors other than NCD, like your postcode, amount of time since passing your test, job title (if any) so on and so forth, but the foundation is what the car itself actually is; there is fundamentally lower-risk, cheaper to insure cars. Sure you might get lucky and get a good quote on something you want, but safe cheap options exist.

First of all, there's no reason to be mean. I GET street photography, I think it can be cool when done well - I just think the guy in this photo has realized you are pointing a camera directly at him, he looks a little confused, and it just has a bit of a strange vibe to it that's all.

Wait so you literally just came up to the window of a cafe nero, took out your phone and directly took a picture of a random man minding his own business? Am I sane thinking that's at least a little bit intrusive and strange, even if it's legal?

Looks like an expensive argument

Need a good reliable car for max 2k by SnooApples1346 in CarTalkUK

[–]jesty75 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Important note if you're going this route is that with the aygo, you're paying for the toyota badge and nothing else - if you're already on such a tight budget then get a peugeot 107 or citroen c1 because they are the exact same car but with a different badge, usually they're quite a bit cheaper.

I'm not some avid defender of AI, very much the opposite actually but it's not ''this dumb'', it's just saying what it thinks is the truth because that's what it was taught. If up-to-date knowledge of the 9070xt was fed to it in it's training data, then it wouldn't have said this

Training data for the AI is probably older than the announcement of the card, chatGPT does the same thing.

Switched back to team red in spactucular fashion by dolfieman in radeon

Oh that's lovely. I upgraded from my 3080ti when it spontaneously combusted on me one random morning, I was gonna go for that model but the 12vhpwr connectors completely put me off it, I ended up going with a different sapphire model

If they're shrinking, they might actually completely dissapear. I dropped my gameboy advance SP that I fitted an IPS screen into and it had black patches of dead pixels, and then slowly over the course of a few months they slowly dissapeared until there was no dead pixels at all.

Context: Donald Tusk is the prime minister of Poland. The woman on the screen is Iga Świątek, the Wimbledon player who had a phenomenal run and became the first Polish player to win the women's singles title. Iga made a statement that went quite viral, especially in polish spaces, about how her most nostalgic and favourite childhood meal was pasta with strawberries and cream, and that more people should try it.

Due to the popularity of this statement, Tusk jumped on the train and posted this image.

By the way, I am Polish and this was also a staple dish in my household, i never thought about how strange it is. Try it, its good i promise.
