General Car Chat / It's okay to buy a RR now

« on: 08 May 2024, 15:48:22 »

Provided it's one of two models, it doesn't cost over £150,000 and you don't mind coughing up £2000 for insurance

Just been watching Bangers and Cash and one of these is up for auction. Must admit I've never heard of it, but what an amazing car.

Interesting developments tonight. Everyone sitting watching pictures of Israeli cities to see when/where the incoming drones hit, if they are allowed to reach their targets. War in slow motion.

General Car Chat / Grandland X

« on: 03 April 2024, 12:37:47 »

We're up in N Yorkshire for a week away. I decided to take the wife's grandland because we can fit everything, including doggie, in one car. Coming back from Pickering towards Kirkbymoorside on the A170, 60mph limit, some old bastard pulled out about 200 yds in front of me in a Chinese MG and decided 40mph was plenty. There was plenty of room (thank fùck) so put my foot down and pulled out. Auto box dropped from 7th to 6th and off we went. Nothing, eff all. I was waiting for the kick I get from my 1.6 astra but it never came. We got past quite easily but I'm glad I did that on a clear road with nothing coming in the opposite direction. I might have come cropper with less time to overtake.
1.5 diesel in a big car......no.

General Car Chat / JLR have improved security on their vehicles

« on: 19 March 2024, 11:40:37 »

Unfortunately, it's now so secure that third party apps, like Intelligent Octopus, can't talk to it.

General Car Chat / Land/Range Rover insurance

« on: 22 February 2024, 15:23:07 »

I was driving past Sytner Land Rover dealer in Wakefield this morning. Someone has parked a Range Rover outside with proper magnetic signs on it saying
Do not buy a Land Rover from Sytner   UNINSURABLE

Another happy customer.
