Plus they should be build in factories powered the same way & all the rare minerals mined using the same power sources. Shipped over in windjammers etc etc. The wee kids that dig out the rare earth metals don't use fossil fuels so the EVangelists should be OK on that front[emoji6][emoji6] Sent ...

Re: Scooter for a 16 year old

Thanks for the feedback guys. I will take it all into concideration. Idiot ex suggested getting an electric assisted bike, as he can drive it now. When I pointed out the go 15mph, and would not have enough range to do his journey, she backed off. Then she was talking about a brand new £1800 scooter....

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

Even my 10 plate V50 was terrible for that, the blind spot at the A post could literally lose pedestrians and the B post meant checking over your shoulder for cars/bikes in your blind spot was physically impossible. Having always driven old shit and even a kit car for years with a ribbon of alumini...

Scooter for a 16 year old

The lad is 16 in November, and has started making comments about getting some transport, either a bike or a scooter. As his 2 jobs are 25 miles from my exes house, she has to drive him to mine, where he stays over. I'm not adverse to him getting one, as I wanted one when I was 16, but the transport ...

The Personal Allowance is over 12k so why would he be taxed if it's his only income? £84 a week is just over £300 a month. Because they tax you from the start. That happened to me last April when I signed on. Checked the bank statement, I got £311, so £25 taken. Sent from my RMO-NX1 using Tapatalk

Re: What did you do today?

I do all my insurances monthly and just update online , I’ve noticed it goes up a couple of quid each time . Last July the XF was £39 per month, when I foolishly bought a Chrysler 300 a couple of months ago it jumped to £50 even though the value was less. Yesterday I changed it to a BMW X3 and it w...

Renewal through for the BMW. £510 paying monthly. A quick trip to the meerkat got it down to £340. I even remembered to call the previous lot to remind them not to auto renew.
