The glass isn’t bullet proof, just the stainless steel bodywork, and then ‘only’ 9mm or so.

You seem to have an obsession with these things,...
True!
Also true! :-D
I’m not trying to excuse Tesla’s behaviour or shoddy build quality in any area, just to be clear, and I've always had an issue with Tesla calling their driver assistance features ‘autopilot’. In the...
No, it doesn’t, but just as an example I accept multi million £ aircraft into service as part of my job, and they all have faults from brand new.
Doesn’t make it ok, it’s just reality with any...
Possibly/maybe, I just think if you look/tear down anything hard enough you’ll find something wrong with everything. It does a lot of stuff right too.
To avoid doubt, I still think the cyber...
Has anything so crap ever got so much attention? Manna from Heaven for YouTubers, and ammo for anti-Tesla/Musk folk…
We just don’t seem to get the same attention around the latest Toyota RAV4 or...
This, really. People don’t need to worry about Ford, it’s not like they worry about us.
Doesn’t really help that Ford’s EV offerings aren’t very compelling, unless you’re in the market for a £50k+ Mach-e, an F-150 pickup or a transit van.
They’ve got the Ford Explorer released soon,...
I’ve got a Wallbox Pulsar Plus, it’s pretty small an unobtrusive and the App works well. You can also operate it/set timers via Bluetooth as well so you’re not relying on Cloud Services etc.
I...
Well, it is the Cotswolds!
I think really, just like Top Gear, you need to put aside 100% realism and remember that it’s meant to be entertainment rather than a documentary about farming, many of...
Hey, you don’t need man maths, just maths!
When I was looking recently at used Taycan’s on the Porsche website, I was struck by the potential huge variance in prices for apparently the same model...
I know what you’re saying. I ran a Golf GTE for 3 years and nearly 100k miles, plugged it in as often as possible and got an average of 78mpg over that time, not bad for a 200bhp hatchback. It was...
They seem to don’t they!
Seems like there’s been a shift up for many established insurers, moving up the price range, but seems to be creating room for new entrants to the market, or new brands...
Indeed! I do love the grand tours, really great to watch.
It’s about this time of year I always think I should get a road bike, but by August I’m back on the mountain bikes! :-D
For some people, hybrids (of the plug in type at least) are the right cars for them.
I’ve been driving a mix of all sorts of cars for the last 12 years, first hybrids, then plug in ones and for...
I believe Vauxhall (so Stellantis) have just announced EVs and ICE will be available at the same monthly PCP rate, they’ve lowered the prices of their EV offerings to do so.

It monitors 12v battery health/voltage, and uses a DC to DC charger to keep it charged from the traction battery if necessary.
Most modern EVs do to be fair, although VW and Hyundai struggled...
A widely held view amongst the profession, so I’m told.
This is where PetPlan seem to be very good, and probably why their premiums are a bit higher, but they seem to not quibble about any legitimate claim.
The vets seem to like them too, you can...
Good on you, rescue dogs are always rewarding.
I do wonder about this term ‘self-insuring’, surely it’s ’not-insuring’ and simply ‘paying’?
This next bit isn’t aimed at you by the way, but...
PMSL AT TESCO…….
Yep, agreed, a good topic for people to think about!
Yes, ‘Flying the Flag for British Agriculture’ wasn’t it, at the British Farming Awards industry bash?
Not saying he hasn’t put farming in the spotlight, but it is but one particular perspective,...
My EV has a WLTP range of 297 miles, I get around 225-270 in my 25k a year driving. About where I expected, given I spend a lot of time at 65-70mph on motorways and the A1.
It is what it is, I...
