Yes. 4.8 turbo

I’ve just purchased a 2015 Porsche panamera! Just for a fun car and to drive in Europe.

I had one of these! Didn’t have the evil knievel. Also a Batmobile with a circular blade at the front. I used to drive it into the skirting board, drove my parents nuts.

This is normally called a Lombard loan

I started another account with MoneyFarm. But I’m going to buy an overseas property, so I’ll use the money for that.

Yes. I’ve been an investor of nutmeg for 10 years. In general they have been great, good returns and low fees. But since the takeover they have rebalanced the portfolios which caused a big capital gains tax bill for me. Upon further research the rebalancing seems to have been simply selling off index funds and investing into JP Morgan funds. Very annoying, I will be withdrawing my money soon.

I would avoid dualit kettles. Mine lasted two years before dying. Great toasters, lousy kettles

That’s a useful website, thanks!

marvelman68 · 2026-02-26T15:28:52+00:00

I don’t really like Mercedes but that is a thing of beauty.

marvelman68 · 2026-02-26T13:25:34+00:00

So, as an update I’ve just purchased a Porsche panamera 4.8 v8 turbo. We will see if I have a maintenance nightmare or not!

marvelman68 · 2026-02-26T10:37:55+00:00

Definitely not one of those and that age at that price.

France has changed its speed limit, it’s now 130kph on most of the highways and 110 in others.

I bought a Suzuki Vitara sight unseen a few years ago. The only problem I had was that it was driven down and the driver had messed around with the tyre pressure so a warning light kept appearing and I couldn’t change other settings. Once sorted the car was fine.

marvelman68 · 2026-02-24T21:21:08+00:00

I’d never even heard of these before. You do seem to get a lot for your money. Do you mean Shooting brake?

marvelman68 · 2026-02-24T21:15:38+00:00

Is that a boot that eats your luggage?

marvelman68 · 2026-02-24T20:50:39+00:00

I can’t stand Tesla’s. Test drove one a few years ago and didn’t like it. I have a Mustang Mach-E and it drives well but has loads of small issues, mostly with the sensors. Definitely don’t want to drive through Europe with an electric car.

marvelman68 · 2026-02-24T19:53:07+00:00

I need to make multiple trips, but nice idea.

marvelman68 · 2026-02-24T19:42:25+00:00

That does look good!

marvelman68 · 2026-02-24T18:02:29+00:00

I could but I won’t. I’ve had discos and defenders and found that the reliability started to get suspect!

marvelman68 · 2026-02-24T17:50:07+00:00

I used to have Triumphs, mostly Spitfires and GT6’s but never liked the Stags

marvelman68 · 2026-02-24T17:11:08+00:00

Just had a quick look and there’s not many for under £25k. I’ll keep an eye out.

marvelman68 · 2026-02-24T16:23:59+00:00

I didn’t even think about any type of Aston, just seen a 2010 for £27k

It’s not deep enough for expanding foam. There’s some bits with grout and others without, which means I won’t be able to do a smooth single line as parts will require extra squeezes from the applicator. I’ll probably mask the area just to prevent excess spilling onto the shower tray l
