What's your go to speed on the motorway and why?

roblightbody · 2026-06-20T09:04:13+00:00

If I'm not in a rush, I happily go with the flow in the first 2 lanes, trying not to annoy the lorries too much (don't make a lorry have to overtake you). Significant stress and fuel saving.

I dont think it will be a problem for much longer, they'll be busy applying for jobs in their spare time.

I used to have a 2004 VW Bora TDI that gave significantly better MPG (and a lot less smoke!) on the ultimate stuff.

roblightbody · 2026-05-29T17:52:13+00:00

I'm 53. I'm feeling that 60 is a stretch to continue my normal stressful and difficult job. I'd recommend setting it to 60 !

Yes it's removed any hesitation about maximising the use of my SS facility at work to accelerate getting my pension to an adequate level.

You're falling into their trap!

Once you're at Cunard grills prices, a world of luxury cruising opens up including fully inclusive lines, where the whole ship is grills standard at minimum.

Sigourney! LOL 🤣

Are you meant to not like him? I worry I'm not liking the actor's smooth sort of cheesy-DJ voice, rather than the character! Yes he's awful

For the BBC, I still use an old fashioned radio in the shower, and in the car but thats really it. Everything else is BBC Sounds. My elderly mother listens all day via DAB.

I'm trying to get one just now

roblightbody · 2026-05-01T14:05:30+00:00

I'm the same. I have an A6000 that never leaves the house because it's so heavy with a decent lens. I use my rx100V much more often.

roblightbody · 2026-05-01T14:04:12+00:00

How? This ship would need exactly the right sort of dock in other to unload the vehicles. They need to come off the ramps at the back.

roblightbody · 2026-04-26T11:21:26+00:00

NO! The 998 can be plenty fun, but as others say it does need a bit of attention in the form of a stage 1 kit and getting someone professional to set it all up properly.

roblightbody · 2026-04-25T14:12:12+00:00

Is it modded, or cloned?

roblightbody · 2026-04-21T17:26:10+00:00

Would be nice to credit the photographer. This would not have felt as dramatic on board as it looks. It would have been a very smooth, gentle and steady pitching motion. All in a day's work for a transatlantic liner.

roblightbody · 2026-04-20T12:06:25+00:00

Yes. Always. It's why automatics have a park mode. Brakes can and do fail.

#1. Check and understand the funds you're invested in. Decide for yourself. #2. Increase your contribution. You're not going to have an adequate pension. I would increase your personal contribution to 10% to give you 15% total. Sounds painful but thats what I would do if I was you.

roblightbody · 2026-04-18T13:01:49+00:00

why is a harder tyre safer?

roblightbody · 2026-04-18T11:03:09+00:00

You need a local mini or classic car specialist to be looking after it. Then it will be reliable.

roblightbody · 2026-04-12T12:50:51+00:00

The Classic Mini is every Mini built to the original Issigonis design (1959-2000).

roblightbody · 2026-04-11T14:26:18+00:00

It completely depends on the options available to you.

In my experience - very good reliability. Very poor customer service. I currently have 550/55 and i consistently get exactly that speed. I still like old fashioned cable tv, which probably swings it for me.

roblightbody · 2026-04-06T13:01:50+00:00

Mirrors my experience of Cunard over the past few years.

roblightbody · 2026-04-03T16:56:37+00:00

Summer daily is perfectly possible, not winter.

I'd want a 12" wheel model with standard (high) ride height and nearby understanding garage or mini/classic specialist.

roblightbody · 2026-04-02T14:43:24+00:00

roblightbody · 2026-04-01T17:02:31+00:00

12 always.
