For the avoidance of doubt, whilst I’m interested in some of the technical aspects of the cyber truck, including the problems, overall I think it’s a steaming pile of sh1t3 and I wouldn’t be seen...

It’s no better or worse than your average massive US pickup I’d have thought?

It’s only slight redeeming quality might be it’s active safety systems might mean you’d be less likely to hit...

I’ve seen a bit of Harry’s Farm as well, but it’s still a millionaire playing at farming.

I know Countryfile got a bit of stick earlier in the thread for being ‘countryside for Townies’, but farm...

Just to add to the thread, renewed my car insurance for which I paid £549 last year, 25k miles a year, class 2 business cover and 2 other named drivers.

My renewal came in at £859, which I...

‘Gentleman Farmer’ demonstrating that to make a small fortune farming then you need to start out with a larger one.

A sort of Top Gear meets The Archers in many ways.

Enjoyable nonsense all...

Self insurance is ok, especially if you’ve got the means to spend a few thousand, until it isn’t.

I’ve been with PetPlan for decades, and tried other companies off and on as various pets have...

I’m no Tesla/Musk ‘fanboi’, but the (somewhat perversely!) China built M3s like the one my wife owns were a step up build quality wise from the Fremont examples that came before them and gave Tesla...

Personally, I would agree with that, but seems the planned ‘Model 2’ has been canned as Musk feels it wouldn’t compete with the raft of competitor vehicles coming in that space, and he sees the...

Nor do lots of US market vehicles, but that doesn’t stop people from importing them to the UK.

I expect the number imported will be small, but It’ll be the new Hummer for those people who drive...

I can’t imagine we’ll see many Cybertrucks over here in the UK, they’ll be limited to business promotion tools, YouTubers or car collectors.

Still, 2m pre-orders for the truck apparently, so not...

I had occasion to be driving in a bit of North Wales last week, west of Chester to a few places and on up to Anglesey.

It was my first experience of the new blanket 20mph limits away from the A55...

I could take issue with all sorts of things that I encounter almost every journey whether driving, cycling, riding or walking. It could be a group of people ‘rambling’ causing a brief delay, the...

Whilst I suppose a new ‘no name battery’ is better than your old presumably genuine but expanding 3 year old one, be aware that one of the reasons you see ‘exploding’ e-bikes is precisely because...

I think it means that the standard included compensation within the price of RMSD has increased from £500 to £750, meaning you may not need to pay for additional cover for higher value items unless...

Do you remember when the Handley-Page Victor ‘accidentally’ took off?

https://youtu.be/TGjPu6DPzWU?si=F892KgPSIjwG14p4

Nothing much happened, apart from a lot of paperwork I expect!

The...

I’m told I had a Raleigh Budgie as well, but don’t remember it, but the first one I do remember is a Raleigh Tuff Burner.

I’m sure there were others of one sort or another, but the Xmas morning...

Yes, I tried a Porta 6 earlier in the week after seeing this thread, only the 1 bottle, and agree the Cabalie is much nicer to my taste.

Just opened a bottle of the Cabalie on the back of this thread, very nice indeed, so thank you! :-)

According to Google, the Dodge Dart Station Wagon was the ‘sister’ of the Plymouth Valiant Station Wagon, so I guess platform sharing was a thing even in the 60’s.

Thank goodness one of you guys found it, you can imagine the number of good looking 1960s estates I was stumbling across!

I fancy a Volvo P220 now! :-D

Ah, you think the OP didn’t talk to his wife before he asked for other opinions on here?

Typical TZ hair splitting.

If you read the first post, it wasn’t the first choice.

Yes, absolutely. The people who’ve had them fitted have seen that they work a lot of the time, but as you say as soon as the weather/temps overwhelm the capacity of the install (as they haven’t done...

In fairness, he knows this and was doing the calculations and only recommending a heat pump install if the associated improvements and installation was adhered to.

I think you two and him are in...

One of my brothers is a heating engineer (he gets annoyed when I call him a plumber!) and he was very sceptical about heat pumps.

He’s fitted a few to houses where the owners insisted (and paid)...
