    COVID-19 (Coronavirus) discussion

    The problem is finding unbiased statistics. I'd hazard a guess that any big pharma company conducting this study would have a vested interest in showing the shots in a positive light. Maybe one day we'll see it.

    COVID-19 (Coronavirus) discussion

    Have a question for you all. How many are suffering from "long covid"?? And out of those people, tell me if you are vaxxed, or unvaxxed?

    Would this be considered insurance fraud?

    I feel like you're overthinking this. I can't see on any sane planet a claim being denied over this.

    So I want to treat myself...

    I like an F-Type at this budget. The V6 arguably sounds better than the v8 too if you're not fussed about the power difference.

    Mandatory Driving Test

    Well, they 'found' £98 billion for HS2. That is a lot of motorway @ £30m a mile (3,200 miles of motorway), or the entire M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, M6, M8, M25 with a few hundred miles to spare. Anyway, it's pie in the sky. Never gonna happen.

    Mandatory Driving Test

    It's also not spending. It's investing. New jobs Use only British machinery & materials to build it Basically like Germany in the 1930s, minus the invasion of countries and genocidal bit.

    Mandatory Driving Test

    I'd also have an advanced BOSS LEVEL driving test, with skid pans, car control etc, and then you have a license to drive in your own dedicated BOSS LANES on every motorway and dual carriageway with increased speed limits. Charge £1000 a year to use them and a requirement is to be a good driver...

    Mandatory Driving Test

    Maybe they passed a test 45 years ago. Don't you think it would be useful for a wee refresher?? The standard of driving I see every day makes me think a lot of people would fail a test.

    Mandatory Driving Test

    How does a black box identify people in wrong lanes on a roundabout? Or the inability to park properly, or reverse around a corner. It would identify speeding, which is not a problem I’m talking about. Just to be clear - I don't see ANY problem with speeding where conditions allow it. More...

    Mandatory Driving Test

    I'm no fan of nanny state devices, but why would anyone be against making sure people have the skills to drive to a certain standard? Besides the fear of not meeting that standard, I can't think of any?

    Mandatory Driving Test

    But if you fail... you shouldn't be driving? You could do it like an MOT. If you fail, you have a grace period to re-test where you could still drive for x amount of days / weeks.

    Mandatory Driving Test

    I see so many people that are completely clueless on the road. From simple lane selection on roundabouts, to the inability to do basic maneuvers and even basic clutch/throttle control. Would you be in support of a mandatory driving re-test every say ... 10 years? Dropping to 3 years after age...

    BMW and M Power Owners

    Since we bought the car, all the trips have been short journeys. The trip computer is showing 38mpg.

    BMW and M Power Owners

    That's interesting. I spoke to a friend who has an m340i prior to purchasing my m340d and he averages 26mpg! I put me right off the petrol version so I didn't even consider it.

    To everyone who ditches runflats, what do you do if you get a puncture?

    BMW and M Power Owners

    Basically, because it's not my car, but the wifeys/family car. I'll drive it once or twice a week maybe. And she'll be filling it up. She'll be a much happier camper @ 45+mpg than 25+ mpg. I checked the lifetime trip computer when I picked the car up and the previous owner was a saint...

    BMW and M Power Owners

    I replaced the X5 with a new family car. Enter the M340D xDrive. I really wanted a touring, but simply couldn't find one with the spec I wanted. The missus didn't want a car without the 360 surround view, so it really limited the options. I'm not sure if there was a supply issue with this, but...

    My ND2 MX5 30th Anniversary

    I thought I'd make a wee thread covering the journey so far on my ND2 (2019) MX-5 30th Anniversary car. Some of you might remember from years back I always had NA MX5's which usually ended up being turbocharged. I still have one (built engine, BMW gearbox etc with around 400hp), but I really...
