What now?

Doesn't surprise me. UK market for hot hatches has always been a bit unique. And the 197 was beyond s**t [emoji15]

Yes I've driven the 200. It's good, chassis is decent (if not as responsive as the fiesta). Engine isn't powerful enough imo, and the box is poor. The actual changes go through smoothly, and quickly. But the delay from hitting the paddle to the change going through is really poor. Try a vag...

They aren't. But neither are they silly enough to look at cost to buy and dismiss out of hand. The majority of these cars are leased or financed. And when done that way, the difference is far lower, and you get a much higher quality vehicle, an excellent gearbox/engine combo and the badge...

Cars like the fiesta have sold like hot cakes. You/me and any other Cs pleb doesn't decide what people want. The market does. And the market says if people want a fun, small cheap to run hot hatch, 99% buy the fiesta. If people want a refined, more easy to live with hot hatch with paddles...

I look like I've aged more. While the wife looks younger. Which makes me look either lucky, or a pervert. Both of which are true.

Since you 1st mentioned selling the meg, I did a spa trackday in mine, bought the m3, sold the meg. You'll never sell it. Ever.

It's a bit more than that. 10 separate sensors. And for a watch that offers all of that, it's a good price (viewed as a fitness accessory). Not being waterproof makes it a bit pointless though.

I don't agree with that at all. Why can the Japanese and the Koreans build even cheaper cars, that are rattle free and have ridiculous warranties? Not singling out the Ford, it's a problem with a lot of European stuff.

Here you go. How to get the functionality without looking like a massive tryhard c**t. http://gizmodo.com/montblancs-new-e-strap-makes-luxury-watches-a-little-1677054621

Good fella. Suspension is on, few coding options done. Going to fit my brakes after we've done a little French Road trip.

Looks great fella.

With your girly wrists?

Not sure if you're aware chap, but there's one or two photos knocking about. If it's made of unicorn smeg, it's still a cheap looking design imo. I'd rather wear a decent watch and look at my phone as and when required. But everyone's different. I don't use my phone that much these days. Used...

Forgetting wether it's useful etc, it has a big problem for me. It looks awful. Really cheap. It's one thing a tech company taking technology and revolutionising the design (as they did with the iPhone /ios). But applying tech to an object that's already often purchased purely on...

As I've tried to make abundantly clear, I was saying it's a solution to a problem that doesn't exist for me. As in not you ;)

Tablets do offer something that laptops don't. This doesn't. No one has said it won't be a success? Simply that I don't see the point/value having been an early adopter of similar tech. It's a solution to a problem that doesn't exist for me. I'm the same with tablets. I use the kindle app on my...

I don't agree at all. Something that offers something new has the potential to become essential (like the mobile phone). But this is an accessory. It'll never pull me away from a traditional watch.

I thought that. Bar replying, all those functions with the pebble. Haven't used it in months, just sat gathering dust. The only thing that they offer over a phone, is not needing to take my phone out of my pocket. Not that an apple phone even fits in the average pocket ;). Not sure I want to...
