    That may be true for the usual hairlines and tiny dings. What about a more serious gouge? It’s my understanding you’re stuck with it? - tbh it wouldn’t stop me buying a Ti watch (actually I’m...

    I enjoyed it - as others have said very predictable and a bit silly as you expect with a Guy Ritchie film. Didn’t find the acting in any way sub-par, and the caricatures are exactly that -...

    Truth is I’ve been suffering from a bad back for a few months - so the Born has been much easier without the hard suspension and all the leg/foot movement changing gear in the Fiesta. The Ford...

    Life’s too short to be close-minded imho!! - don’t tell anyone, but sometimes I put away the mechanical watches and slip on a cheeky quartz! And as I type this I’m wearing a positively filthy, pervy...

    That surprises me - I’ve always had better fuel economy at or below 70 in an ICE car when on the motorway - start pushing it and economy drops dramatically in my experience. I drive on lots of A...

    I’m still confused - octopus talks to my Ohme home pro charger which I’ve set to only charge at 7.5p so between 11.30pm and 5.30am. That’s 6 hours. There is no direct link with Cupra and I don’t...
