    **** Official Microsoft Flight Simulator Thread ****

    Hi all I have FS on the Xbox Series X but am a little frustrated with the lack of addons and am hankering for VR (I have a Quest 2) I am thinking about selling the XSX and getting a PC with a 3600Ti or 6700XT. Spec I am looking at Intel i7-10700KF 8 Core/16 Threads Processor RTX3060Ti 8GB...

    Spec me an SUV

    Yeah its not a bad option actually - comes in a bit cheaper than the XC60 and looks like it would tick a lot of the boxes - being a Japanese brand, I am hopeful it would hold its value OK too. Thanks for the suggestion

    Spec me an SUV

    RX's are too expensive really and the Mazdas I though had very small boots but will look again Increasingly I am thinking of paying cash for a used RAV4 or Tiguan and then maybe an XC60 or similar, new, on a novated lease in a couple of years

    Spec me an SUV

    Yeah I had a quick look at RR's - They are more expensive than XC60s again. My current employment situation does not allow me to take out a Novated Lease (A pre- tax salary sacrifice that allows you to lease a car basically). This might change in about a year. So if we want to go down the Range...

    Spec me an SUV

    Just shown the Mrs a Landcruiser and... well.. it's a no :p I think anything like a Pathfinder, Grand Cherokee or Landcruiser is too big for her so as little sense as our reasoning may make, I think we will need to stick to the mid- size SUV vehicles.

    Spec me an SUV

    Right out near the state border? Yeah that is quite a bit further. Our are near Eildon/ Alexandra. Also her brother lives in Ballarat so I imagine she will be going up there quite a bit too. It isn't to do with dirt roads - it is all paved etc. It's more to do with said wildlife jumping into...

    Spec me an SUV

    Thanks all. Well budget wise we have a few options. We are buying a house soon so keen to not go too crazy at this stage... If I decide to buy cash, I think I would like to go for a max of $45,000 which rules out the XC60 as you won’t get a 2018+ model for that money here. I could go to...

    Spec me an SUV

    Hello! Having just made the move to Melbourne, we are looking for an SUV-type vehicle. Due to my in- laws being quite far out in rural Victoria and a few other factors around the... erm wildlife on the roads here, we need something that is safe and comfortable for long rides. We also want...

    Posted about LOOP a while back. Very very good update this morning. Could be a good bet for anyone looking at UK tech stocks.

    Correct they are value-add for Teams. Doesn’t need to take over the world (it’s never going to be Zoom) but it solves a problem for certain types of firm and is very cheap when looking at its fundamentals.

    Another share I’ve been accumulating in the quiet since it crashed from 250p is Loopup (LOOP.L). Stuck a final slug in the ISA this morning. Averaging about 78p. Won lots of business in the legal and other sectors and well placed to benefit from ‘the new norm’ of more working from home. Debt...
