You only picked the car up on Saturday FFS! Useless. Tbh if the car isn't driveable then I'd be making it very clear that either they refund you the cost of a flatbed, or you WILL take them to court for the money. The car is not fit for purpose, and you should not be left out of pocket for that.

Start the car and pump the brakes a few times. If fluid level drops in the res, then it's clearly not safe to drive. Poor show from he garage, they should be collecting or at least paying you the money back!

I get input lag on here on the iPad too sometimes. Very random, no idea why, only happens occasionally.

Potentially valve seals.

weeee dooooo That's what I thought. So what happens when they stop being free and you get charged £10 to fill up, or £20? The £5k subsidy likely ends this year, which then makes these things not such the bargain at that point. £55k for a Tesla seems good in theory, but then that would buy you a year-old M3 and a shed load of petrol to run it. I know which would be more involving, too. I mean, I'll be honest and say part of my ranting is jealousy, as I wish I could have an EV for the 10min commute and save a packet, but my circumstances will never permit that. I'd never, ever want an EV as my fun car though, not whilst we still have petrol. I am genuinely glad you're enjoying it though mate, it's refreshing to see someone so enthusiastic and able to back up their reasoning with sound logic

So who pays for the free charging points?

:lol: Like bruschetta is actually brusketta. I never knew that

I use the Autosmart ones, it's one of the few products they do that's both well-priced and very decent. But yeah, what used to take half an hour is now done in 10mins. No more marring than you'd get from a bar, either.

They've got quite stiff sidewalls, so you can get away with running lower pressures than normal

They should've given you a sheet with the alignment settings in: Stock settings can vary wildly on the two extremes. 36 psi is too high for MPSS, drop it to 33.

Pressures? Geo settings? Post 'em up, that could make a huge difference.

I nearly went for 3, but the nose looks a little odd in that pic

If I get my way, I won't leave no.5 in that photo untouched

I remember when the 911 broke down, and I pretty much had my choice of cars from Enterprise due to the arrangement they had with Porsche. I chose a petrol Vaux Insignia and a diesel Merc C220, had never driven either before and figured that I might as well give them a go for when I need to buy a boring car as I'd have them for a few days. The Merc was lovely, seats are stunningly comfy. I'd pick that over the equivalent 3-series if driving dynamics weren't an issue.

They should be allowed, I just don't think they should take it. Don't see why not if there is better regulation, after all someone with a more expensive car would be paying more insurance in the first place... maybe some kind of incentive if you downscale possibly? Because every time someone takes an expensive courtesy car, every single person pays for it with their premiums. If folks only ever took the cheapest thing, like an Aygo, then premiums would come down.

What the hell is hyper-foreignism??!!

Looks like a Peugeot.

They should be allowed, I just don't think they should take it.

Big money. Next time you have an accident, and get offered/need a courtesy car, think about taking the cheapest piece of crap you can. You'll be helping everyone to get cheaper car insurance in the future. Not you as in you Dajw, you as in everyone. Me included.

1. Spend 8 hours the day before cleaning car 2. Watch it rain overnight 3. Car gets filthy on way to show 4. Bring QD & MFs with you 5. Attempt to clean as best you can 6. Realise no-one gives a rat's ass 7. Get on with actually enjoying yourself

Hah, that pic is excellent!

Apart from some of Verstappen's moves, I really thought it was a yawn fest. Nico is a crying little whinge bag, if you don't want to get caught by the car behind then overtake the car in front!

Understeer can be sorted with geo & tyres.

Of course there's no offence being committed: How can there be, for forging something that no longer exists, especially when it's very clear that it's a fake? Your mate's an idiot for trying that, btw.

Another dull race tbh. Again, I'm glad Lewis won, but it wasn't remotely exciting. I just hope Alonso and Button are enjoying their last seasons in F1.
