They know that Porsche will warranty them out to 2031, so they are chilled….
That’s what I did a few months back. 2 year old ‘base’ 718, in a poverty spec, but it does have the options that help the handling - 18 inch wheels (not the massively heavy 20’s that many spec), PASM...
I have a V60 Cross Country with the B5 250 odd horsepower engine. I’ve had BMW estates in the past, and as said on here they are more of a ‘drivers’ car. That said, the Volvo is quick in a straight...
I don't have an XC60 but I do have a V60 CC that has the same touch screen. It's a pain in the bum to use on the move, as you have multiple screens that you swipe between. When you're moving and your...
I have both. A quick butchers without getting the calipers out would suggest that the cases are the same size. The only difference *might* be in the caseback that looks to be slightly deeper on the...
Dress up Friday. HAGWE.

I had surgery about 20 or so years ago, when I was about 50. I went to the only place I could find that would contemplate surgey on the prescription I had, which was about +6 in both eyes with a...
I bought an Apple watch Ultra a week or so ago. I'm pretty sure that the outer Apple box had no wrapping on it. Inside that box there are two further boxes - one for the watch head and one for the...
I think it’s both a cost and convenience issue. With runflats you don’t need to supply a can of goo and a compressor, or need to make the space to carry them in. As an aside, In my cars whenever I...
Plus, like most other things on God's earth, meters have a finite life. When our were replaced, the ones being substituted were EOL. Swapping dumb meters for smart ones was a no-brainer. For us...
This. Also, when I first got an IHD I was surprised at how much the "baseload" consumption was. Before we got the smartmeter(s) I never really thought about stuff that is switched on all the time....
Archie having a bad hair day....

Bracelets where you can’t take lots of links out the 6 o’clock side. I prefer a comically short length on that side, since, for me anyway, it stops the watch head rolling off the outside of my wrist....
Don’t quote me on this, but they are all pretty much standalone in terms of the plots. I wouldn’t have thought you need to read Consider Phlebas first. OMMV.
I think of all of the Culture novels,...
It does look like a PU3. Mostly. The headshell join with the arm tube doesn’t look like any I’ve seen before, but these were built in really small numbers and if it’s anything like it’s grandson the...
Funnily enough I re-read those last year for the first time since the 70’s. They haven’t aged well.
Another vote for Iain Banks. Just don’t start with Feersum Endjinn. It’ll probably give you a...
We're in Torbay. There are literally dozens of garages round here that sell gas. It's a question of driving round till you find one with stock. I might have to try two or three but up until now I've ...
We can get gas - at least most of the time. What you can’t get are bottles unless you already have one to swap out. It’s been like that for a couple of years now. Pain in the bum, because we have a...
I've used Infidelity (in Hampton Wick, just the other side of the river from Kingston upon Thames) for turntable servicing. They're a good bunch.
As indeed is Johnny of AudioOrigami. I have one of...
Ah.... Knockhill. Always reminds me of the blasted heath scene from Macbeth :untroubled:
Inherited from my mother in law's estate. It was hanging on the wall of her living room when I first met her in the late seventies until the flat was emptied following her death. It never worked in...
Me too, different colourway....
Given the daft prices being paid for certain other brands, these represent really good value for money IMHO. Build quality is second to none, the decorated movement...
It's a bit like shaving foam. How do litres and litres fit in a tiny can?
Ayway, back on topic we've had a Simba for three years or so. I like it - it's comfortable, hasn't caused my back to ache...
I had three or maybe four older SMPs and ended up moving them on because I could never get a good fit on the bracelet, no matter how many half links I put in. I then got hold of one of the adjustable...
