    Investing ~£70k of cash

    5 years is a good time frame for holding Bitcoin if you can handle the swings. Next halving around spring 2024.

    *The Official PlayStation 5 (PS5) Thread*

    Whatever guys. Like I said before my time is more valuable. Peace out as also not wasting more time trying to justify what I spend my money on either.

    *The Official PlayStation 5 (PS5) Thread*

    Good luck to them. My time is more valuable and can't be bothered to keep trying to catch a release.

    *The Official PlayStation 5 (PS5) Thread*

    Finally admitted defeat and bought one from an eBay seller. £585 including postage for the disc version - not ideal but I've not had any luck finding one elsewhere. No doubt everywhere will get deliveries now...

    BMW and M Power Owners

    Unless I've also been lied to it's no longer available. Got the 2 year AUW on my previous car back in 2015 but when I traded it in a few weeks ago (same dealer) was told it's no longer available. This was after quite a long wait while the sales guy looked into it and ended up getting the money...

    Golf R32 or Golf Edition 30 *mk5 dsg*?

    I had an 06 R32 DSG for around six months back along. As other have said, the noise they make is great and that was probably the main selling point for me. Unfortunately I couldn't live with it. Never liked the way it handled and just felt like a heavy lump turning in. Also to make it sound...

    £20k max SUV: BMW X5, Audi Q5, Touareg, ...

    Not a lot of love the the E70 on here, down to people criticising the colour of the speedometer!? I went from an F11 to X70 and didn't feel like I was stepping back in time. Picture of it 'off-roading' this summer at Centre Parcs.

    Problem With Upstairs Neighbours Young Child

    First place I ever owned was a ground floor flat in a converted farmhouse. For the first year the upstairs flat was empty so had no idea how bad the sound proofing was. Once someone moved in I could hear everything from them putting a cup on the table to using the toilet (which was above my...

    Spec me an LED Torch

    From memory the BC40 doesn't have physical reverse polarity protection and is sprung at both ends so can use most flat tops that work in series, such as AW. Also should be fine with protected cells as the springs allow for the extra length. I would go for something like AW, Nitecore or...

    Sinn make some great watches in your price range.

    Im calling it.....

    The crash is going to happen, exactly what triggers it remains to be seen but it is coming. Its not an increase in demand that has pushed up prices, the availability of cheap credit has. The government has done everything possible to prop up prices but I don't see they have any bullets left now.

    Finally moving!

    Good for you and I'm sure it will greatly improve your quality of life. My first place was a ground floor flat in a converted farm house. All was fine to start with as the flat above me was empty, as soon as someone moved in it became hell. There was no soundproofing at all, and could even hear...

    Help to Buy Scheme Should Really Be Named Help For Bankers Scheme - Discuss

    Supply and demand is not to blame for the crazy prices: availability of credit, particularly BTL and HTB are big factors in my opinion.

    Golf Mk5 R32 DSG

    I had a 2006 model for just under a year and no problems at all during that time. Regretted not getting a manual as found the DSG uninvolving even though it was very smooth. Recaros would have also been nice but very few were spec'd with them. They are not the best balanced cars but sound...

    E90 estate mpg???

    I've had three E90 320D - two were M-Sport Estates and one was an SE Saloon. Can't say I found any difference between the saloon and estate - averaged around 42mpg in all of them but this was mostly short journeys with a heavy right foot.

    Saving £1 & £2 coins but worried about Fakes !

    One way I heard to check is hold the £1 coin in between your thumb and finger with the Queens head up and spin it around to check the image on the back is also lined up. Not sure if all fakes can be spotted this way and presumably some will line up by chance but I have found a few using this...

    BMW 320D or Merc C220 CDI?

    I just bought my 4th used 320D after getting fed up with my R32 - this one is an 07 320D M Sport Touring with 40k on the clock. While looking around I test drove a couple of C220 CDI Sport. Quite nice, but not in the same league as the BMW for driving experience. Also little things like the...

    Spec me an LED Torch

    Yes it will run well on Eneloops - much better than using alkalines in fact.

    tyre pressure gauge

    I got a nice one from demon tweaks. It has a button to let air out and is the type used for karting etc.

    Car off for repair, have had a call back from the repairer, what would you do?

    More likely it will sit outside somewhere collecting dirt and bird poo. I would still leave it with them anyway.
