Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

yeah i may now be leaning towards this option. fact is i know the car well; better the devil you know etc etc.

annoying though. car is less than 10yrs old and i can't drive to the airport without spending £12

also WTAF at car prices now. my mrs bought a picanto before the pandemic for £3700. same car now going for £9-10k on autotrader.... (2014, 20k miles)

It's fucking nuts isn't it.

I'm now getting really worried about maintenance on our car because of the price increases on potential replacements.

I used an app on Android which would auto book any cancellation at my local center. You can easily get something next week depending on your local center. All you need is your theory test pass confirmation code.

You can also set it to look at other test centres.

it just doesn't make sense. who is buying a near 10 year old picanto for £10k? truly mental

The value of second-hand Tesla cars has collapsed since the electric-vehicle maker embarked on a series of price cuts for new models in the past six months, according to sales data.

The value of a new Model 3 with a long-range battery bought in January this year in the UK for £57,435 is forecast to fall 46 per cent to £31,300 by January 2024, according to industry pricing agency CAP HPI.

at least teslas are cheap now - https://www.ft.com/content/27ce84f8-915f-48f0-b4a6-28242357ea68

Anyone interested in my camper? If so we’d have to work out a price but it’s a great machine for a cyclist, or someone with a desire to sleep where they stop.

What?! Shirley you can’t be serious?
I’ll have a look down the back of the couch just in case

I’m moving to Singapore (if I get the visa approved) and I can’t take it with me.

Comes with custom racking for the bikes and an awning tent to make your breakfast in (see pictures passim)

Just a shade under 20k miles, and over-serviced because, well, I’m me.

What does this mean for the Porsche..?

What's the draw in Singa...pore? 🤣

Career progression, see something different after 27 years in London’s famous London.

I’m moving to Singapore

Permanently? The riding is that good there?

Don't think theres going to be enough down the back of the couch but let me know if this move means you're selling any bikes from the collection... 👀

The visa I am applying for is 5 years, renewable. So! Some scope there- but idk.

I’ll need to move some bikes for sure, hit me up with requests.

can you PM me a rough price? need a "nice" van for work.

Oddly the usual pricing tools are refusing to play with the registration- I have no idea why.

I paid £46,000 for it on 6,500 miles and it’s now on just under 20,000.

Do you want a long Ducato? 2018.

Only if he wants it!

Today in cars I'm 99% not going to buy but am spending too much time looking at online instead of working:

I could hand mine into WBAC today and get the money to buy this.

look how unnecessary that rear seat functionality is.

Get it, visit me, then drive me around while I relax in the back

Would look sick with the seasucker on the roof with a couple of MTBs.
