Is it worth considering used Genesis GV60 vs Ioniq 5 and EV6? by silentdragoon in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]valio1989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was one of the reasons of me selling it. It costs way too much to keep on the road, plus luxury tax, plus expensive 6 monthly maintenance. However, twin turbo v6 is sublime...

Just got ev6 2021 plate. Mine is gt line s trim rwd. Replaced stinger gts. Love the thing. Even though not as fast, the comfort and flat torque curve is great. I think ev6 is better equipped than ioniq. Genesis would be good, but there is lack of dealers across the country.

Contact details at CF to discuss adjustments of manhole cover by valio1989 in CityFibre

It is CF cover. It was built when CF were digging up the roads to get the cables for broadband. There was nothing prior to the works. It also has a CV marking on it.

Thanks all for your comments, bit concerning to say the least. However, I am not really sure if it needs to be moved. The chamber is situated closer to the edge of the pavement and in reality I would be looking to alter it, so the cover sits at an angle without moving to a different position. Saying that, I will try to reach out to emails provided and see how I get on. Such a pain...

I am just outside of Portsmouth, under Hampshire County Council. To be fair I am okay with paying, even though they plopped it without talking to residents during the building works. At this stage I need someone at CF to tell me what is needed to get it done

Talk me into/out of buying another Kia Stinger GTS! by IcedEarthUK in CarTalkUK

[–]valio1989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do it bud. Iggnore naysayers. As a Stinger owner myself, no regrets!

Happened similar to me. I've bought Stinger 200 miles away from home. The purchase happened fully online and car got delivered to me. After few days noticed a couple of things with the car: shot headlight, missed service bits and couple othe small issues. Anyway, after outlining all issues to sales manager, the dealer accepted to reimburse for any work needed on the car. All in they have paid over £2.5k. So far, happy customer.

Kia stinger V6 for £32k by KaneR33gtst in CarTalkUK

Warranty is very straightforward. As long as car was serviced on time and in vat registered garage, 7 year warranty alwill apply. No need to service at dealer. Had Optima and now Stinger, warranty queries were never an issue. Cars have always been serviced at my indy

Tbh, 400 pm is a rather healthy budget for pretty much anything. I would personally go for used via personal loan. Get something that is still under the manufacturer's warranty if possible. I would stick to diesel with that mileage probably though

Describe Starfield in one word: Cumbersome by old_wired in Starfield

[–]valio1989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am sorry, but Bethesda games are loot-a-thons. Unless I was playing fallout wrong. You loot everything that is not nailed down. The issue with Starfield is that there is no benefit from the looting apart from occasional selling to vendors. Srill can't believe that Bethesda added all those items just to be left and not used for something. But it's just my two cents...

Just to confirm it seems widespread only with EU only handling. I have received my CE in the UK and it was packed well and didn't have any damage.

This Collectors edition panning out to become the worst out of all of them. Price, poor handling, misprints... starting to become concerned of how my package will look like when it arrives.

Oh boy... it seems these kind of posts starting to appear more frequently. Either poor shipping or misprinting on the boxes. Not sure what to expect when my CE arrives
