Re: The Autumn statement/budget

WTF? If I feel the need for this stuff the BBC provide it by the bucket load, I thought this forum was a refuge from it! I move that Cheshire Cat be banned for 3 months for starting it. :evil: Tell you what as this is now a haven for mushy liberal lefty wokes, I'll just now bother your two brain ce...

Re: The Autumn statement/budget

I’m not sure that people who are financially insulated enough to own Porsches would be the kind of folks that these current issues affect too much. (Me included) Also not sure that terming human beings who risk their lives fleeing war, famine and despot regimes as “illegals” shows the right kind of...

The Autumn statement/budget

Well, what will be in this episode of UK Government is broke series? Punitive taxes on ICE vehicles over a certain amount perhaps. Electric cars will be paying RFL in 2025 I read somewhere. Triple Lock Pensions will be unlocked from what should be 10% inflation in September (the basis of the increas...

Have GP's surgeries become irrelevant ?

I haven't seen an actual GP at my local practice for over 18 months at least despite needing medical attention/advice several times during that time. Some months ago, I had a mystery pain in my mid to lower back. I no longer bother with the phone lines as they are useless but a personal visit is alm...

Re: Carwow Macan GTS Offroad vs X3M

. .. Also, why do people relish not pronouncing Porsche correctly? ..... Probably because it sounds pretentious. We don't say Bay Em Vay, Sitrurn, Moonchen, Paree or any number of foreign proper nouns in normal conversation. If I am in France or Germany I will use local pronunciation but in the UK ...

Re: Carwow Macan GTS Offroad vs X3M

These contests are usually fixed so the car the presenter likes wins. When I used to watch Top Gear (mainly because my kids watched it) I recall that prat Clarkson criticising the then new X3 because it wouldn't go up a wet grassy incline whereas a Discovery would. X3 on run flat road tyres of cours...

Re: EV loan car

Not really answering your question, that's a poor show from the dealer. I wouldn't expect them to put me in a car with 43m range regardless of EV or not.... It is an Audi dealer! The none Porsche OPC courtesy cars I've had over the years have never had more than a quarter tank of fuel in. Whilst on...

EV loan car

A friend of mine told me that his son took his Audi A3 to his main dealer as he had found out that some A3's were catching fire and as he had recently become a Dad, he was a little concerned about this. The dealer is 20 odd miles away and when he got there, they stuck him in an EV. He isn't a 'car' ...
