Well if we're playing that game, from the Zed until now mine cost me -£19500 and gained me 30bhp, 0.9L, two seats and two cylinders!

If I was 20 years old, I may not make the same bet

Lefty loosey, righty tighty. Or, clockwise-close. Your M&S gauge may not be any more accurate than the old compressor, y'know. What you need to do is not get fixated with numbers, but rather use them as a baseline and stay with one specific measuring device so at least you're consistent. For example, your Dad's compressor one might be reading 10psi over, but it doesn't really matter. Just make adjustments based on that, so if it's too high then lower the pressures but stick to that one device.

Yay my eyesight isn't as bad as Granvilles!

Nice!

Christ, I'd have told them to triple that if they wanted a sale! No way you can judge a car in 20 mins.

Would you like your coat now, sir?

Of course they will. Then watch their popularity plummet.

Trouble is, the current Cayenne is a good looking car. The new X6 is better, but still suffers from that stupid bootline.

Money in the hand > dibs

What settings did you have the M3 in? How come such a short test drive?

Exactly why I think petrol is the future. Look how far we've come in the last 10 years even in terms of engine design and efficiency, and we're making new gains all the time with relatively old tech. It's cheap, it's simple to fix, and we'll never run out of the black stuff in my lifetime. Something like the i8 is a great compromise, and if they gave it a proper engine it'd be on my list of things I'd be interested in owning.

Whatever it costs to buy one new when I die, or if they take over.

No. Unless you're Stevie Wonder.

True, but then you've wasted money because you could've had a perfectly usable car at home had you not picked the electric one

The cost of one. If electric cars ever become the de-facto go-to choice when you want a car whilst I'm alive, I'll leave you the cost of one in my will.

Cat fwends!

I'll not see a massive take up in electric cars in my lifetime. I'd put money on it. It's nice that Nissan will loan you an ICE car for your hols, but it's more the unexpected things that I'd be concerned about. What if your great uncle Geoff took a turn for the worse in Outer Mongolia, and your fun car was off the road? You're not going to be able to use the electric car to go and see him, and neither are Nissan likely to lend you a car at 10mins notice. But yeah, for the small city commute where you have other transport always then they're great.

I ticked it because I'd consider it at some point, but it would depend on the car.

Who doesn't like cat photos?! I put up a video of me teaching my kitten to play fetch yesterday.

If you live very close to your place of work and will never ever ever need to travel more than a hundred miles or so, an electric city car is a good idea on a lease scheme. If you think that you might at some time like a spare vehicle to use for an emergency dash across the country, then you have to get an ICE car really. An electric city car as a third car I would understand, but I'd never have one as a second car or if I new I'd be pushing the limits on the commute. When you can get a Smart for £99 a month and it'll be cheap as anything on fuel, I'm not sure I'd look elsewhere.

+1 for the PF01, I used them on my 350 with matching discs and they were among the best non-carbon brakes I've ever used.

So not bias at all then I'm not sure you can compare an R32 or a VXR of any kind with a Leaf.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT AGAIN
