Re: Another Broken Spring - Pothole Advise

Up this way, there was a huge pothole that formed on an A road, must have taken out at least 12-15 cars.
I'm following a FB thread on it, so far not one compensation claim has been paid out.

Re: What Do You All Want?

Yeah, I'm about to pull the golf apart actually, so it'll be a couple of months away too.

Re: What Do You All Want?

I suppose ease of use on a phone?
I'm only getting to see this when I'm at work and using a computer, is there a sensible app to use on a phone?
I remember tapatalk used to be the rage?

Before the chavs invaded, your meets used to be legendary!

Re: Hybrid BMW M5 - Chris Harris Review

Smith and Sniff, It's Jonny Smith (a-la Fifth Gear and The Late Brake Show) and Richard Porter (who used to write for Sniff Petrol and has been one of the Writers/Producers for Top Gear/Grand Tour).
They talk absolute bollocks for most of the time, but have some bloody funny anecdotes and insights ...

Re: Electric Car Thoughs?

Anyone remember when James may went to America to test that Hydrogen car?
He interviewed Jay Leno who said something that always stuck with me.
He said when they first moved from horses to cars, people thought the horses would die out and become extinct.
Instead, the car took the work from the horse ...

Re: Electric Car Thoughs?

I bought an I3 and ran it for a year, so I'm not really versed in long term maintenance, but the only thing I had issues with was the engine backup!

Re: Electric Car Thoughs?

I had one for a year when I was commuting to Bridgwater every day.

When the electricity costs were down, it seemed to make sense, I saved over 2k in fuel in a year.
