That's mad, but then I wouldn't buy Jaguar or Range Rover, to name two, for their over-priced under-reliable cars.

That's outrageous. He should bring a class action against them.

The chap directly opposite myself hs an electric e-pace for 2 years the residuals were scary, he has gone back to a petrol Version, though since January the garage has been out at least six times.
Another chap I know of has just spunked out £90K of a RR sport, he had a ICE F-pace 2018 with 92K on the can, they gave him £8K p/x LOL, costs him £1200 @ month with his insurance of £2.2K AND HE IS 55 YEAR OLD WITH MAX NO CLAIMS sod that  If my insurance costs me than £500 I'm out of that vehicle!
Ask Brookie how much of a hair cut he's taken on his E-tron, he'll be on poverty beer for years to come 
Recently both Anne & Myself changed vehicles, first time in 8 years, the quality deals are out there it is a buyers market right now. Picked up a 12500 mile 2018 B class amg premier line plus, with absolutely spanking history, things like new both inside and out. Great daily driver, decent room quiet and 62Mpg. The right colour they gave me £7K back on the Pug MPV and it was just £10K to trade. Plenty of quality cars out there at sensible outlay. After all you can't take it with you!

It looks like a giant Lada. But even more ugly.

Not sure what the designer was smoking when they came up with that seriously Rooney Roller, must have had some psychotropic shite in there!

I saw that car in Covent Garden on Sunday and just laughed - what an abominably ugly & ostentatious way to drop such serious ££££££.

What does Cullinan mean?
Good-looking lad, handsome. Cullinan is a masculine name of Irish origin, meaning “good-looking lad” or “handsome,” that sings of baby's strapping
beauty with smooth, suave charm. Fans of the Twilight franchise will love this magnificent moniker for its similarity to the Gaelic name Cullen.
Only £300,000, plus extras of course
I'll take two my good man

If only you had the money to buy it and say "no need to deliver it, my good man. Just send it directly to the scrapper".

The big debate in cycling is what width of tyre to go for
Once upon a time tyres were as thin as 19mm.
Thinner the better
I had/have 23mm and saw the research so tried a 25mm.
Lot better
Now they are talking about 35mm and saying they are faster
Contact points and the rest
Think about that percentage difference ...
I wonder if all that work on tyres has been done in cars or might it prompt re evaluation

235/40 18" tyres with a light stretch work best with the torque from my supercharger and give an exact correct speedo reading.

Hi Martin They are good tires, I have a pair on another vehicle, quieter than the PC7 and I suspect will last longer, grip in the wet is excellent, its pretty close to the Conti's, although as you have mentioned certain cars just prefer a specific brand of tyre no matter how good that tyre is. I did skirt with P Zero's again on another vehicle stunning.
Car tires like audio, can be quite particular.
225/40/18 Y XL holding the 275hp and 460lbs of torque well.

Car insurance prices - what a world of pain.
My renewal quote has just come in 37% higher than last year.
