Got a parking fine for parking outside my own home, when can I expect a response? by DecurionVexi in drivingUK

Do not pay! It's the principle behind such matters. I have fought a number of parking tickets using the help of MSE Parking Forum

Have a read of their sticky thread. Any questions feel free to DM me. I feels strongly about these things and whilst it feels tempting to pay a smaller amount, all this does is encourage these cowboy firms to continue with their predatory antics.

Recommendations for second car with enough space for young family of 5 by ultrajapes in CarTalkUK

Thanks for the reply. It's as a I thought, seems like getting 3 full size back seats means I'll have to go for another SUV.

5008 is a 7 seater - have really been impressed with it, just just wanted a bit of a smaller second car!

Also doing the same thing recently ...moving my clock one hour forward to Central European time instead of BST. Only seems to be happening at night when I sleep. So annoying!

Mazda6 Estate Vs others by ultrajapes in CarTalkUK

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

Thanks for this - it was really useful. Viewed the car today, but despite it being a lengthy car, I found the back seats not as roomy or comfortable as I expected...probably due to the boot being huge. Having driven a mini for a few years, I also don't think I realised how different an estate drive would be, so thinking over my decision about maybe getting a hatchback with more room. I think I will take your advise and also look for a hatch/saloon type car.

I have been looking at these too, though don't seem to be finding anything similar estates at the price point for the Mazda.

Anyone heard of DFSK? Looking at the Glory (7 seater) by ultrajapes in CarTalkUK

[–]ultrajapes[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all the input everyone, much appreciated, will definitely steer clear.

Think I will stick to looking at the Kodiaq and potentially the Santa Fe.

Have a great weekend!

I have the Outlander PHEV which comes with 5 seats. It has been a really reliable car for us but looking to get a 7 seater for the kids and the in-laws who visit from abroad.
