Definitely my current car (F10 535d), I've driven 45k in 20 months and it's been faultless. I've never had a car that's as comfortable or well built and the fuel economy has been decent considering the performance (41 mpg).

Halo Infinite and occasionally Rocket League but I'm tempted by Helldivers 2

I only want plain t-shirts so I haven't looked for decent fitting t-shirts with designs on them. I haven't worn a band t-shirt for years, merch prices at gigs are eye-wateringly expensive nowadays. I seem to remember most band t-shirts being pretty awful quality, I suppose you could buy decent...

I have the same issue (34" waist and 41" chest) and find most t-shirts don't fit me properly - I'm 6'3" and the length is often a problem for me as well. I've bought one t-shirt from this site and it actually fits well, they are expensive though. I've also heard good things about True Classic so...

I work for an Altnet as a network surveyor and whilst there are always solutions to direct buried areas (many estates were built this way by GPO) they involve either installing toby boxes (disruptive, expensive and then every install requires digging up a garden/driveway) or to go Overhead by...

I'm pretty bad for this, I've bought 14 cars in my (nearly) 15 years of driving. The shortest ownership times for me were an E46 330i (nice car but I just found it incredibly dull) and an Alfa 156 GTA (gorgeous car, amazing engine but handled like ****) - I owned both for approximately 4 months...

This thread has made me miss my old 172 so much, definitely the most fun car I've ever owned. Nice to see one being so well looked after, mine was a bit of a state when I sold it :o Currently running an EP3 which is definitely faster but just doesn't have the fun factor that the Clio had, might...

It seems the TDi North exhaust is well regarded and track day friendly but costs nearly £700! Think I'll have to up my budget or accept that any stainless exhaust is going to be a lot louder than OEM...

I've recently purchased a cheap EP3 Type-R and need a new catback exhaust. I'm keen to avoid cheap rubbish like ECP sell (I hear they rust quickly) but don't want to spend a fortune and ideally want something that isn't much louder than OEM. This is the best I can find so far, does anyone here...

1993 Vauxhall Astra Merit 1.4 8v (with the spi 60hp engine :( ). Owned it for 6 months in 2003/2004 then bought a 1990 Cavalier SRI 130 for £180! The Astra was the worst car I've ever owned (slow, handled like a boat, ugly, poor build quality, terrible fuel economy) and whilst the Cav was pretty...

The scoop isn't to my tastes but I think it looks great otherwise. I don't think I've ever seen one on the road before, they seem to be one of the rarest modern hot hatches.

I sold my 2015 Fiesta ST-3 as I was fed up of the damage being caused to it (I live in a town centre and have to leave my car parked on a main road) and decided I'd try and find an interesting banger for less than £2k. Managed to get this 540i for £1950, it has MOT until next July and whilst...

£340 10yr NCB Fiesta ST-3 with MP215 pack

Bit late to this thread but I'm procrastinating and found this thread so thought I'd post anyway... 1997 Astra merit 1.4 8v SPI - This was a horrible pos, sold it to a neighbour within 6 months 1990 Cav Sri 130 - loved this car but it was a rusty pos, used to get pulled over a lot. Sold it for...

I had a Nur Spec R on my classic, sounded amazing under WOT but was embarrassingly loud and the drone it produced used to drive me crazy. I changed it for a Hayward and Scott system which sounded amazing but was a lot more reasonable in terms of the noise it made (it was actually track day...

At 7k Miles and 27 MPG you're currently using 259.26 gallons of petrol a year (roughly £1412 a year at £1.20 per litre). So 14k per year in your Leon will cost roughly £2824 in fuel costs. If we say diesel is around £1.22 per litre on average then even if you average 54mpg (double what your Leon...

I don't personally hate diesel cars but most 4 cylinder diesel engines I've experienced have been miserable - loads of torque but a tiny power band and they make a horrible noise. Economy is of course better than an equivalent petrol (although modern turbo petrol engines are perhaps not as far...

Some impressive economy figures being quoted here, I struggle to average 30 mpg in mine although 90% + of my driving is local and rarely getting above 30 mph so I suppose it's not bad given my circumstances. Can just about hit 40 mpg on a motorway cruise (80 - 85 using cruise control as much as...

Is that your old car? I'm only 13 months into a 3 year finance deal on a Fiesta ST but I'm bored of it already and I'm hugely tempted to buy a Scooby again. Prices have gone up so much though, only got £5k for my 63k 2003 STi back in 2013 (it did need a fair bit of work to be fair).

I live a mile from the Morgan factory and I've yet to rent one, highly tempted now I've seen this. I just wish that some of the V8 cars were available to rent :D
