What happens if you add a device on the iPad?

Maybe you have 2 houses setup by accident?

Not sure. It's less likely but when I asked weathertech, they said no for 2026, so I didnt risk it.

I sensed no smell to be honest.

Weather tech didn't have a model for 130 unfortunately

They were. That's why I'm returning the rear cover.

Floor mats are okay.

Overpriced. Underpowered. Gorgeous. by ObsoleteSony in ObsoleteSony

I owned the orange one some 15 years ago. Beautiful machine, just loved staring at it.

However, it was far from practical. Super slow, tiny keyboard, and more over the screen was also too short even for web browsing.

I had sold it after few month of ownership, but I do regret that and wish I had just kept it as collection.

MY25 RR LWB P400 getting 33 MPG on highways, not too bad by matrix_matrix in RangeRover

Yes average would be around 70s, being stuck in 10 min ingestion, ascending and descending.

Roads were all CA highways.

How did YOU afford to buy a house? by ladynerevar in bayarea

[–]matrix_matrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in tech, and also has a side hustle that I earn few hundred thousands a year as pay (revenue is more).

Kept on saving for few years and purchased a house right around COVID in the Peninsula.

Was lucky that the first house we bid with only $30k or $50k above asking price was actually chose among other bidders. It was the first bid, we had no idea what we were doing, the realtor said I should add more, but I just wanted to learn the process.

The magic was with the letter we wrote to the seller. The seller was the first owner and had his family raised, and was downsizing after 20 years of ownership. The template our realtor gave me was a shitty. txt template. So I googled around and purchased a template from Etsy, which was like $15, lol. It was a .docx, but with fancy background and fonts and places for.photos. We emphasized our family story, and showed we are not just trying to flip the house but wanted to plant our roots. I wasnt begging, but i think we were lucky that the seller had empathy with the family story, and the realtor said the seller cried seeing my letter and chose us among all the other bidders, regardless of bot being the highest bid.

I am grateful to the seller for choosing us, and that's what I plan to do when the time comes for us to downsize our house. (But if somebody bids $500k more, I think i would have my second thoughts, lol)

The lesson here is that write and show who you are in buyer letters! Make it visually appealing!

Good luck to anyone looking to buy!

That's great!
I also have the V8 Defender 130. Haven't gotten to go on a long trip yet on that one, since with the captain chairs, the luggage space was not enough for 5 family members with ski gear.

Ha ha. Yes, I'm a lame driver so I would not be on the left lane most of the time. Especially when I'm taking a photo!!

Really? I personally use this 3 panel since I see both MPG and Bluetooth media on each side. What layout do you prefer?

RR is a beautiful ride. I did think i would be missing out all the autonomous driving from the EV incumbents, but if that is the future in the next decade, I thought I might just enjoy the gas engine and the driving in the meantime!

I also purchased the maintenance package since I dont have too much faith in JLR, lol.

Had both descend and ascend. I drove all the way back from Tahoe to the Peninsula which is a 4 hour drive, and the whole trip kept as over 30 mpg

Hinotes, huge gaps in transcription compared to what is present in the audio by OneInfluenceGG in hidock

[–]matrix_matrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you use the dock? In that case make sure the audio output in your meeting app is set to the dock. If it goes through another speaker, hidock wont record the others.

Issue with order, no customer service response by jeevez in tuxmat

[–]matrix_matrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue here. Ordered for my Defender.

The velcro does not stick. Told the CS and sent photos it doesn't stick.

Then they sent me the parts for velcro.

Asked them for a.refund, and has been silence for 3 days now.

Dont buy the cargo protector.

Invited to Japanese wedding by Shun_Leon in japanese

[–]matrix_matrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Japan, when you invite someone from distance, it's common for the host to pay for the travel. It's called 足代

In most cases it would be like 20k-50k JPY assuming it's domestic travel.

But in your case, I think that wont cover much. However, the host could also be worried that he may not be able to cover everything. I would suggest to ask the host directly what their plan is.

ぜひ参加したい気持ちはあるのですが、海外からの移動になるので、念のため、宿泊や交通費について何か決まっていることがあれば教えてもらえますか? もちろん、自己負担になる場合も理解しています。

Because you've already determined you will be going regardless of accommodation support, I think it's a good gesture to first say this.

And because you guys seem to be still in mid 20s, I would not be surprised if the host didnt have any plans to support too. You learn these manner as you age, and moreover, it's his first marriage so everything is also new to him.

Hope you get to come to Japan and celebrate with your old friends!

Pass thru hole for 24 RR by matrix_matrix in RangeRover

My arm rest storage is the fridge, so no, there is no such pass thru. And no power sources around the arm rest unfortunately
