Fair play, bank of dad, nice gesture. Principles apply though, and if on a tight budget your son is precisely the sort of person that would be hurt the most. Not sure it’s the best thing moving motoring towards the preserve of the wealthy but that’s the byproduct argument that was brushed...

On a bit of a tangent, but that TD4 would be costing you £12.50 every day you drove it here. You’d be forced to pay it or shell out a serious wedge to upgrade to a compliant vehicle. You can see why people are a bit pissed off especially when it’s not across the board. There’s an awful lot of...

Wow, I find that incredible. That’s an amazing price, especially for a diesel, I’d have imagined the thick end of £2k for that. A while since I’ve had a clutch so I’m a bit out of touch but anecdotally at least hear they’re around that £1300 Jolemai is quoted for a fairly standard job.

Yeah, that’s tough. I’m guessing a full clutch?

They certainly have a few problems. Nobody wants their best-in-category Taycan as a used buy to the extent it has such chronic depreciation that some dealers are refusing to stock them. I think the market in general has a real problem when that is happening to something considered to be a good...

Interesting watching how the established premium brands adapt to the changes as a lot of them don’t seem to know whether to stick or twist. Performance brands such as Porsche are in a whole lot of trouble as EV’s have already smashed them in the performance stakes and adding the weight of...

E 2 - 0 W

Not forgetting the increasing tendency to have to change the flywheel along with the clutch too. Fingers crossed it’s a straightforward repair but bills can really stack up with a clutch unfortunately. Don’t get any of that with an EV to be fair.

You couldn’t make some of this stuff up, one fuck up after another.

Wolves 0 - 1 Bournemouth

Sounds like an almighty fuck up to be honest.

Lot’s been said about the rights and wrongs behind forced EV transition but interesting Business Secretary Jonathon Reynolds is looking at the mandate. I don’t think anyone thought it was going to be easy but at the moment it’s just a mess: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c98dzyy850jo

Always has to be a compromise and it’s difficult to argue against any line drawn on the basis of safety, but I think there’s a fair argument the qualities of determination and resilience are increasingly lacking. Not sure the move away is doing anyone any favours tbh.

Half expected trouble on SW railway services but Balham to Angel is Northern line tube. Delays due to leaves. I’m trying not to be all Dunkirk spirit, but come on.

Never mind your factor 50’s and floods, heroic work from the brave Underground with only ‘minor delays’ despite “significant leaf fall”. Incredible effort. Round of applause incoming I think.

Very mild, very windy, right on cue. The leaf blowers seem to have been on overtime the last few weeks but couldn’t be doing with one of those annoying things. Bert just blew the lot into a nice little stack in the corner this morning. Two minutes to fill the brown bin and it gets emptied in...

That first image is sexy as hell. Can’t really judge a camo car and the auto car version is just a tragic dogs dinner. Loving the long bonnet though tbh, at the very least that’d give loads of practical ‘boot’ space but would imagine it’ll be put to other use too. Besides, it’ll be a sad day...

That’s just the sort of thing I’m after, cheers.

Found the best thing for keeping fingers and toes warm is to keep your core warm first. I bought some cheap but cracking skiing base layers from Aldi which really work, and they’re nice and thin so you don’t get that Michelin man bulkiness either. Still need a good pair of gloves and I tend to...

Rode last night and it was brutal. We ride through the winter and have ridden in colder temperatures in the past but that was bloody cold. Normally ride for 2 hours but cut it short by half an hour as everyone had a numb something or other. Will have to get a thicker buff thingy for under the...
