I have comprehensively failed to kill my 250k mile Mercedes E220 S211 estate, without doubt the toughest and most capable car I've ever owned. I bought it from this very forum about 8 years back for...
Sorry, not my take at all.
I really liked the cinematography and the lighting, but the rest of it? It was trying so hard to be Brideshead's high-cheekboned bad-boy big brother, full of a...
I’ll second this. A wonderful country, unfailingly lovely people.
Westjet were excellent and I'd definitely use again - the in-flight experience was the same as pretty much every other economy airline. Decent seats, good-enough space - and a lot cheaper than BA.

My 996 had lowered sports suspension - trying to get a wrist in the available gap between the wing and the wheel to pull the release was a nightmare!
As is mine - she loves original Art Deco stuff rather than modern stuff
If you have a recent appraisal, the insurance value - at least you do with my policy. Others may be different.
I bought a ring and bracelet for my wife from a very reputable dealer for £10k in total. She had them valued 5 months later for insurance purposes - £6k for the ring, £16k for the bracelet. I may be...
I was quicker around Mallory Park in a race-prepped 205 GTI 1.9 than I was in a 911. Far more of a sense of occasion in the 911 though.
The Macan is seriously fast but has all the charisma of a...
I had a 996 3.4 for a while - loved it to bits. The problem with it as an everyday car was that it was really quite raw and I'm not as young as I was. A 991 would be a better day-to-day car but...
Chris, you came out with the "boss of Toyota" comments several weeks back and at the time it was pointed out that he was a far from unbiased source, what with the current Toyota and Lexus EVs being...
Agreed - I've had an RX100 III for several years and it's a fabulous little thing. Secondhand it's £200-300 but immeasurably better than most compact cameras and to my mind worth the money. All...
I’m overjoyed at having finally learned how to pull wheelies.

They make me feel terrible - I have a bad haddock now.
If I put my name in it comes up with just me!
It’s almost as if I didn’t know what 300kg was. Luckily I’m an accountant so I could figure it out.
As I say, there are bigger hills to die on.
I’ve just ordered a new electric car - ideally I’d have had an estate, but other than a really horrible MG there are no EV estates. I’ve ended up with a 2wd Nissan Ariya which is, I guess, an SUV. I...
Just like Porsche, Audi and Maserati (to name but three), who make their money from….wait for it…..SUVs. Car manufacturers have to make cars that people want, otherwise they end up like all the...
All reasonable points, but I’d have to say that how fast a car gets around the Nurburgring is utterly irrelevant to all but a tiny number of people and mostly they’re the sorts of anoraks I try to...
Second this - depends on the roads (all motorway at 85 mph will suck juice!) but you should have no problem. Rough maths says you’d be able to 2/3 charge your car in the cheap hours, and you’d only...
I know you don’t want to hear this, but EV is coming in just a few years for all the markets that Jaguar serves. Investing in petrol or diesel would arguably be every riskier for the company than...
It’s what I do with my Leaf - the Nissan onboard app is appalling so I just set the timer and let it click on at midnight
That Citroen seems to be the trifecta of slow, deeply inefficient and as bland as a beige wall
Yup, all that caring about the environment - absolute cobblers. I don’t feel like a real man unless I’ve burned a bag of coal and polluted a lake before breakfast.
I saw your post, then saw the author. Surprise! It's all the fault of the Lefties, including those Tory ones.
Bring on the Fourth Reich, eh?
Hey, my van's going to get a complex! She's managed 193k so far, but there's no sign that a change is needed yet. Will probably never get there - the van's now only used for weekend enduro bike...
