Re: What did you do today?

That sounds cheap to me but then again I've no idea of the prices they go for.

Re: Building the Leg End. The Old Jag thread.

I was briefly behind something with an MG badge yesterday. More or less a Suv. That unfortunately is what sells nowadays. They do have an electric sports car, expected to cost about 50k, which is not too far adrift of previous MG sports car costs when adjusted for inflation I understand. EC32_Side3...

Re: Building the Leg End. The Old Jag thread.

Nothing I think to people under 30 or so, at least the ones I know. None of my sons mates, girlfriends, friends etc. appear to have the sllghtest interest in cars apart from reliably getting them from a to b. The only exception to this is our mobile crematorium which is pretty much in a class of its...

Re: Electric vehicles, pros and cons. Have your say.

It's a bit confused but: "Around 3,000 Nissan Leaf and e-NV200 cars made before 2016 are affected by the withdrawal of the NissanConnect EV application, as these older vehicles are fitted with 2G control units which communicate with the app. The carmaker told the BBC: “The NissanConnect EV app ...
