Re: What Car to Get #3

Might have another look at the Macans. Love the look of the new XC40 but it's too new and maybe a bit small.

You still got that big pimpy spec RRS Gary!?

FFRR. Might as well go into marriage with brownie points.
:lol:

I can see the logic there. Concern is how long will it take to spend those points when she finds out how much they actually cost to run vs. what I told her using Davienomics

Re: What Car to Get #3

Velar looks cool in photos. Have spotted a few around now. Something didn't translate to the real work. They look pretty awful. Still think the 335d x drive is a decent bet Dave. Have you considered an i3 rex? Not everyone taste and RWD only, but I was smitten after driving another SErs non rex i3....

Re: What Car to Get #3

Velar is too pricey and too new to get any decent deal on. In the ideal world it'll be something about 3 years old that's already lost the big depreciation they all do in that period. I really like the last gen XC60 as a car and it's in budget but it's just a bit too 'family' for us. Want something ...

Re: What Car to Get #3

Chop in the A3 and PCP a nearly new Evoque... An Evoque?!? did you miss the bit where I said I like the ladies not the laddies? Did consider them, but too much form over function and don't really like any of the engines in them. Similar on the Discovery Sport.. don't like it at all. RRS or Full Fat...

What Car to Get #3

Hi Folks.. In need of some inspiration and given it's been a week since we last had a What Car to Get thread, thought it must be time for another!! Current fleet includes a shed spec Volvo XC-70 and Mrs DDtB-to-be's Audi A3. The A3 is only really used to take her to the nail bar every few weeks so t...

Re: SE Pony Express Linlithgow to Symington

I can grab them from CMC and hold in the southside too. Woody is around these parts too often for my liking.

Re: What car to get...

Nice 911 but still a gen 1. Internet says avoid gen 1 due to bore score etc. 40k for an 11 year old car too... younger more modern evora at 40k seems better value imho I’ll have another 911 one day probably.. hopefully a fruity one like the gt3, but realistically a GTS is a more likely target Sent f...

Re: What car to get...

911 is a great car but to get a 'safe' one, you're really looking at the 997 Gen II onwards and even if you do that, you can't just get the bland one. See Sanjoy for further info on what happens to the budget lol. If you've got 60k to spend on one, then it's another story! The 996 C4S is a great car...

Re: What car to get...

I really enjoy my xc70 tbh. Part of that is down to the old school tech. Had a new Astra at the weekend and it had far too many distracting driver aids.. like steering against me if I changed lanes without indicating and constant flashing lights on the dash and speedo etc to tell me about cars ahead...

Re: What car to get...

Yeah.. xc70 is basically a 4wd v70 with chunky bumpers and stuff. Not an suv. The xc60 and 90 are more suv like.

I’d happily have a RRS to replace it.. love suvs

Re: Bluetooth Headphones - Noisy S1 French Frolic Use

Considered them but not convinced on the noise isolation. The standard iPhone headphones are crap at that and AirPods look similar.

Are they any snugger fitting?

Re: French Frolic 2017....

I got one. Moved house and can't find it... so ordered another one which won't arrive in time.

If anyone else needs tips on being prepared etc... just let me know
