    When are you going fully electric?

    I work for Saint-Gobain and the scheme is through Zenith. The price is great, its almost the same as I currently spend running a 10 year old diesel.

    When are you going fully electric?

    Not quite the car I really wanted but it was too good a deal to pass up. I ordered an electric Ioniq a couple of days ago through the work salary sacrifice scheme. Premium SE spec, 20k a year, fully maintained, includes insurance, no deposit and £265 a month for 2 years. ETA at the moment is...

    Platypus' Beginners Guide to Running

    Do it! Everyone I've met at Parkrun has been super friendly and supportive! It's a great atmosphere and there's really no pressure. Can you take someone with you?

    Platypus' Beginners Guide to Running

    I am thinking about getting one. I use Zwift on the bike at home and have a treadmill so makes sense. Even with Zwift though I think it'll still be boring!

    Half marathon for me yesterday, fairly tough course with a couple of killer hills. Struggled to get my legs moving again after the hills. Finished in 1:33:52. Next one in 3 weeks, aiming for 1:30!

    E-Golf Lease

    I've asked for a quote for 20k pa, with fuel savings on my current diesel it makes a lot of sense.

    When are you going fully electric?

    Because it's a salary sacrifice scheme that doesn't make much of a difference to me. The quote with black paint the only option is broken down (as a 20% tax payer, fully maintained and no deposit, 20,000 miles a year for 4 years) Car £512.73 Tax saving -£102.55 NI saving -£61.53 BIK £14.44...

    When are you going fully electric?

    Had an i3s demo since Monday and love it. Shame it has to go back tomorrow. Between borrowing this and the Zoe earlier in the year I am convinced electric is the way to go for us but I am still struggling with the financial commitment to lease one through work for 4 years even though the...

    Boring spec me. £2000, 18000 miles p/a, somewhat fun.

    I'm thinking similar at the moment, I want to change my boring diesel for something more interesting without increasing fuel spend too much and have decided a Swift Sport is the way to go.

    Platypus' Beginners Guide to Running

    I've been out for a couple of lunch runs this week and been OK. Stuck to cycling in the evenings though, nice ride out last night to the pub for a pint and some chips!
