    You can't get a lass can you at home at 41? How, weird would it be for the women to turn up.

    They want to know your job and what you've got then are you ok looking.

    Even if it doesn’t fix anything it’ll bring a smile; your money, your medicine

    my over-thinking benefits my job as well (dispute resolution) - hadn’t thought of that…. ironically!!

    The missus is very conservative behind the wheel. She has also never been the materialistic type and looks after everything she gets. She's always been tight money wise even when our circumstances have improved. Fairly poor background, 1 of 9 kids (catholic's obviously) so knows the value of money.

    All she wants is car she'll have the least problems with. She's freaks out when things go wrong. So having a name or something flash is of no interest to her. She can't even tell you what make cars are by looking at them, just not interested. Whereas I also like cars to be reliable, I do like nice cars. But I've only ever bought what I can afford to. There are far better things to spend spare cash on at the end of the day. I don't have a car passion like some, and then I can understand why you invest all you have in a car. Each to their own.

    …. I’ve been researching for 18 months… all the used SUVs seem to have gone up in price due to supplies of new cars being hit by Brexit/Chip shortages and rental companies not trading out due to mileages not going up to their “trade in” point at the hire company. We’re in a bottle neck which is why I’ve had to hold on to a 120000 miles ten year old Rio. Personally I was after a diesel Kadjar or a Peugeot 3008 but prices went north…

    Have you looked in the drain hole for your shower? Sure you’ll find it there.

    I was born bald, worked like a galley slave all my life ( and still am ), financially secure and care passionately about all the hairy f@ckers making it difficult for us real men.

    I think it will cost about £500 to put a charger on your drive. People who live in flats can do it but it will take thought as to where you charge. To charge I've just had my electric and gas meters renewed on Octopus Energy (Octopus Go tariff) and between 00:30 and 04:30 I can charge for £0.05 per kwh which means a 75kwh battery will me £4.50 with VAT included. £4.50 for 300 miles. I should add you can only do it for that price over two nights as the charger on your drive will only charge at 11kwh but I never drive 175 miles 2 days in a row. In terms of servicing you basically don't need it as there is no MOT as there is no engine to look after and things like brakes don't need replacing because you rarely use them. Just mind your tyres (wear the same as an petrol car), windscreen wipers and refill your water.

    Hands down the best car I've ever driven. I take it out for drives just for the **** of it because it is so enjoyable to drive. You can (while parked) watch YouTube, watch Netflix, or play video games. The Tesla chargers are quite extensive if you are going down the country for what ever reason. As for self-driving, it's not there at the moment on small road but motorways is spot on so you can just switch it on when you join the motorway and kind switch off mentally. Very good for long drives.
