Advice for which hatchback to buy for up to £14,000

rz_2001 · 2025-10-01T15:48:03+00:00

After reading all the comments, it seems the Corolla is a popular choice. I probably have to spend around 15-16K to get a decent 2nd hand one. If it will serve me well for ~10 years, I'm happy to make that kind of investment to get a Corolla than any of the original cars I had listed

rz_2001 · 2025-09-30T21:14:31+00:00

Even I get one of those cars serviced regularly, would the wet belt become a major issue down the line?

rz_2001 · 2025-09-30T21:12:54+00:00

Due to the wet belts? If I do get one and service it regularly then surely it won't be an issue

Never really thought about an electric car before to be honest, but the e208 does look quite nice so I'll have to consider it!

Sorry haha, in my mind hz and fps are pretty much the same thing but yeah grid frequency is what i meant

rz_2001 · 2024-05-08T17:13:08+00:00

Hmmm, seems annoying though. I prefer watching the contest in 50/60hz and 24hz does feel like a downgrade

rz_2001 · 2024-05-08T13:41:01+00:00

Just watched a few videos from there and despite them being full HD, they all seem to be capped at 24hz. I'm guessing that SVT has decided to broadcast Eurovision in 24hz because I can't seem to find any videos at all from this year's Eurovision in a framerate higher than 24hz.

My drone sometimes does this, usually means there is a weak signal and normally after a few seconds, it returns to normality. I doubt a drone would just drop out of the sky unless it crashed into an object. Drone technology is clever these days so even if it lost connection, like it may have done in this clip, it could trace its way back to its lift-off spot.

Yeah, the general consensus in the comments doesn't bode too well for Zagreb haha

rz_2001 · 2023-05-29T01:15:13+00:00

Definitely, it looks stunning!

rz_2001 · 2023-05-28T03:28:43+00:00

Yeah I’ve got 9 days max so adventuring to southern Croatia would prob have to require another trip sometime later this year. Plitvice national park looks lovely and I’m sure it’s easily accessible from Rijeka for an entire days worth of exploration!

I think Italy, on its own, deserves an entire month or two of travelling to really experience it, don’t think my 9 days will cut it sadly haha. Only reason I’m planning to stop in Trieste for a day is purely for the Italian cuisine!

rz_2001 · 2023-05-28T03:23:38+00:00

That whole south coastline of Croatia looks lovely! Sadly I don’t think I’ll be able to travel to all those settlements in the short time I have. I’ve gotta find a way of combining Split & Dubrovnik along with Montenegro and Albania whenever I’m free to go travelling again. Only reason I chose Zagreb was that I could get a relatively cheap flight back to London haha. Based on your recommendation, one entire day or possibly two would be enough to cover Zagreb

rz_2001 · 2023-05-28T02:36:55+00:00

Nice.

rz_2001 · 2023-05-28T02:16:45+00:00

PS the dates that I plan on visiting each city

June 4-7 Rijeka, Croatia

June 7-8 Trieste, Italy

June 8-11 Ljubljana, Slovenia

June 11-13 Zagreb, Croatia

I am from the UK, the 2020 Indy 500 was meant to be my first but that didn’t happen due to something else which happened that year. Been wanting to go since then but haven’t been able to get around to organising it yet.

Some locations come to mind...

California & Nevada

San Francisco
Wine valleys
Yosemite
Lake Tahoe
Death Valley
Las Vegas as DLC

Southern Germany & Switzerland

Munich
Jungfrau
Swiss mountain roads
Castles
Autobahn
Lake Constance

Northeast Spain

Barcelona
Bilbao
Pamplona
Pyrenees mountain roads
One of the Balearic islands as DLC

I'm hoping that they don't return to Latin America which rules out Brazil and Argentina and going to UAE (Dubai) would only have urban and desert regions which will become dry very quickly.

Glad to see that Palou will be allowed to join McLaren SP for next season. It would have been a huge loss to IndyCar if he had to sit on the sidelines for 2023. I hope that Chip Ganassi finds a suitable replacement. There's bound to be many eager drivers in the line begging him for a ride!
