    The Ioniq is not bad looking either I'd say but yes, they are all boring as fuck. Then again, people love their bland gray SUVs so that is what we get.

    I suspect even the fast ones get a bit dull, or certainly a bit 'one trick pony'.

    No doubt impressive but it's easy to get used to new-found speed and when you do it's not like you've got a 6/8 cylinder soundtrack to keep you amused.

    Collectors are fucking strange people. Ł9k currently for that quad, and there's a 1964 Cadillac de Ville with the same time left on the auction currently at half the amount.

    Accidentally let the car insurance run out and been driving it round since the 22nd without any. Sorted now. For some reason it’s over Ł100 less than last year.

    Sitting in a filling station waiting for a waste of oxygen colleague to arrive and it’s unreal how many people with actual driving licences cannot park a car or even judge where their car is going to end up.

    Next door have got an electric car and for reasons relating to our electricity being on a loop (?) someone’s gotta dig up our drive to put the charging thingy in. Annoying cos I recently spent a few hundred quid having it cleaned and sealed. I presume they’ll relay the block paving but gonna have to mither them to reseal it, and they’ll probably do a rubbish job.

    Car looks nice though.

    If one was to accidentally put their keyless car fob in the washing machine, is there any coming back from that in terms of it working again?

    Internet tells me, i've fucked it. Apparently, you need to make sure it's fully dry before you start pushing any buttons. That i did not.

    Yeah, you should have waited. It's like turning a phone on before it's dry. I'd stick it in some rice and dry it out anyway and see what happens.

    Indeed the M135i is fun but I don't like the look either.
    The more I look the more people say the Golfs/Leons are fast but not that fun. Whereas the Megane is way more fun to drive.

    I think I'm going to end up going for a 2016ish Megane to be honest...

    This is near me but I can't afford it yet and I don't think I'd want white.

    My battery is dead pretty much every time I use my car (about once a week). Due a service in February so I can survive from jumping it with my NOCO booster thingy til then. Proper annoying though.

    Caymans and Boxsters are more practical than people think given there are two boots, assuming you don't need to move a table.

    Dog is the problem. It'd mean we could only use her care to take him anywhere.

    Are you set on a Megane do you think?

    I've not driven one but I've only ever heard good things about the drive and can confirm Renaultsport Clios are a riot.

    Yeah I think so. I've also thought about a GT86 but worry I'd end up wishing I had got something with a bit more power, and I don't have sufficient car knowledge to feel confident buying a supercharged/turbocharged one.

    This, my dad's Boxster was a lot more practical than the Zed. But it was a soft top to be fair.

    I'd love a Cayman S.

    Was there not some issue with Cayennes, at least older models? Kept seeing them suspiciously cheap on autotrader for a while, like fucked Mazda Rotary engine cheap.

    Unreliable as fuck, like all older Porsches. And hugely expensive to fix.

    If a bigger one was required look no further than the Macan.

    It became mad popular here a few years ago, or at least a popular thing to drone on about for a lot of people. Then everyone realised it doesn't really matter when it rains 90% of the time.

    Guaranteed to be a software issue or a faulty key fob. Go tell them to get these things checked so you don't go insane.

    Some nutter I know put on facebook last night he was wanting to buy a personalised reg plate for his kid so he has one, and an even bigger nutter replied he already has one for his kid (who is 2). Happy to keep reregistering it apparently.

    Anyone who gets themselves a reg beginning B16 or B19 is almost guaranteed to be not big at all, especially in the trouser department.
