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?

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)...
Part watch, part knuckle-duster!
In keeping with the OP theme, I do have plenty of praise for the NHS, both my father and my daughter are here today because of it, and in my daughters case Bupa weren’t much use at the point we...
Brief discussion on the new releases thread, personally I love it, but then I like Breitling and like aircraft bits in watches if done well.
I already have an Aerospace Evo, linked to my work so...
Yes, I’ve got an Evo, and still find the single crown operation a bit of a fiddle!
I’m a self confessed ‘aerosexual’, and a once upon a time balloon pilot, and I quite like the idea of owning a...
Very excited for you, sadly bit of bad timing for me, and I do have a very lovely and personal Evo already.
Me too!
Seems to have a bit of Orbiter 3 balloon envelope in the case back as well?
I’m sure you’re right about Derv being around for a long time yet, but just like EVs won’t suit every private car driver same with truck operators. They will work for a lot of operators though.
I...
Similarly, I sit next to a season ticket holder at Leicester Tigers who works for Caterpillar. Subject to the usual commercial sensitivities, he doesn’t go into specific details, but they’re working...
It was mentioned a few pages back, I think most commenters thought it wasn’t a £134k car to begin with really, especially when you could buy one that looked visually similar and wasn’t much slower...
Most EVs are connected to an App on your phone, you can monitor it from there whilst you have a coffee or something, you don’t need to stay with the car.
There are some selfish idiots, just like...
Yes, the charger and the cars battery management system communicate and the charger will only supply the current that the car says it can accept.
The charger then ends the charge whenever the...
Fortunately, there was none of that nonsense, but it was a nicer setup than most major service stations, but admittedly that’s a low bar to get over.
You really are ‘EV Curious’ aren’t you?! :-D
