I now just need a quick road test, a spanner check and then the mother of all cleans and she’s good to go. I think I’ve spent nearly £4K on it this month. f**king sickening. If it wasn’t for CSF I wouldn’t have even opened the door on it this year. This forum has a lot to answer for.

The guy that owns the Cummins one has a Twisted 110 as his daily. He’s actually in Italy in it now. I honestly can’t think of a worse car to drive to Italy. 😂 (sorry)

My X5 will be there. If you want to chuck my tools and s**t in your golf and fold the seats down and Kip in it you’re more than welcome.

Mad panic rush - just realised I’ve only got about 2 weeks to get the car ready….

It’s an actual Landrover colour, Keswick Green.

It’s been painted, new wheels, new suspension, new interior, new glass… It now looks like this, and has a manual gearbox. (And for the record, towing a 6.0 Landrover on a heavy as f**k farm trailer was sketchy as f**k! 😂)

I really like the Fiat 500 E’s. They look really cool. Can you wait for the Renault 5? That’s supposed to be cheap.

CSF was booked before this ‘something else’ though. Where are your loyalties Marc with a C? Where??

Delivery in 4 months is a lie. Unless the cars are in stock and physical, they have no idea how long they will take, they’re lying. My best mate works for Mini and he might have to leave because they cannot get cars. 6 week wait has turned to 6 months. 6 months is now 15 months. A car...

That is f**king insane money. I appreciate that your situation means it doesn’t cost you that much, but this is precisely the reason EV’s are going to take a while to get popular. My £3k car that does 22mpg looks cheap as chips now.

I absolutely love these, I think they’re brilliant. Good work sir. The perfect commuter car imo.

I was talking to @riz friend about it the other day. He lives Birmingham iirc and went to Cornwall on holiday. 20 minutes on the big charger takes him from 20% to 85%. Enough time to stop at the services and have a wee/food/drink etc and then you’re on your way. He said that people get hung up...

And that’s the correct attitude. Because you’re normal. But Brian and Sally, who are nearly retired and use their car for more than 100 miles a week maybe once a year but are still complaining that EV’s don’t offer enough range are the issue. Once people can understand that with a bit of...

@The Boosh! - are they available to order yet??

I use 15’s because track tyres are almost half the price of the same in 16’s.

Expect your phone to melt. I advertised my mums car (identical spec age and mileage to yours, same colour too) for £1495 and I could have sold it 20 times over.

I’ve used it on pink transits, down to a 1972 fiat 500. It is heavy, that’s my only gripe. But it does the job no problem. My mate has a really expensive One (can’t remember the name, it’s red and grey) and it’s sooooo nice to use. But he uses it every day. For the 2 (at most) times a week I...

I’ve got a silverline one from eBay. About £50. I’ve had it for about 3 years. It gets used at least twice a week and it’s still going strong. Has a good speed variation on it, it’s not too loud either but it is quite heavy.

What’s the details?

My immediate reaction would be to not worry about it. Some of the advisories I’ve seen over the years on my cars have been pathetic. Others looked like the titanic but never had a mention of rust. If the rest of the car is nice, it’s got good history etc, get in front of it and look at it...

I’ll lock the thread if it gets in to a slanging match. We’ve only heard one side of the story so it’s only fair the garage (if they choose to) share their side.

Yes. If the customer has said “I’ll buy the car if you paint the front end and do the cambelt” and then cancels after the work has been carried out then the dealer should absolutely be keeping the deposit as they are considerably out of pocket. But this guy has made a telephone call and a...

Loss of revenue would need to be proved in a court with time stamped recorded telephone calls/emails that clearly show another customer trying to buy the car and then the garage declining because you have reserved it. The fact it’s still advertised and not ‘reserved’ or ‘sold’ tells a very...

There won’t be a falling out. They can’t keep his deposit, so they either give it back to him or get taken to court. It really is that simple. He may have a salesman there and no nothing about this himself, so we’ll wait to see if the OP and the garage come to a conclusion on Monday. 🤞

Your love for this car is so evident. Amazing. 👏🏻👏🏻

Yes, I’m pretty confident that @getikte is the owner of that place. He’s the one with the Laguna BTCC in the project section.

I’m 99% sure the bloke that owns that garage is a member on here. Hold on…

Anyone got a link to this garage?

Unless you have specific signed a distance selling exclusion form from the dealer, they cannot keep your deposit. You need to speak to your bank/card issuer and they will do a charge back.

I use pink stuff and a scouring pad or wire wool. 👍
