ive got a new lexus NX300H and its quite possibly the worst car ive ever leased, it was rubbish in the snow as well ..... really regret it :tumbleweed: :tumbleweed: :tumbleweed: i needed a hybrid and got a stonking deal on this and took a punt... Not my finest hour, i cant wait to give it back.
I tried the new Countryman Cooper SE plug-in hybrid for 48 hours last weekend. Full electric for up to 25 miles. It was pretty impressive and damn quick too. List price is bonkers once you add a few toys though. How long is the lease? Hopefully not too long.

Just bought a CTEK for my M, out of interest what mode to you use on the CTEK, I’m confused by AGM mode or not

Here's an old pic of mine (now sold) Ruby black Z4MC on the B4391 from a few years back. I remember it was around -12°C+ that day, which made for a very interesting journey!

What was the reg/vin of your MC..? Looks a lot like my one I've had this past 3 years (I know they all look the same).

The reg was RJ07 VFK, but I wonder if it is now on a private plate as it doesn't come up on the gov.uk MOT database anymore. Always wondered if it might now belong to a forum member.

Son loved it........ other half not so impressed.

Will be taking the M there after work tomorrow. Snow is great to play in guilt free as no pressure on any of the mechanicals hooning about and loads of space. :evil: :thumbsup:
Have fun. :driving: No snow on the ground down here. :(

Is that car park not up a bit of a hill from Spean Bridge. Just getting there could be fun in the Zed on snow.
Only in the uk would we not service the ski lifts in the autumn, ...BEFORE the snow arrives 😖

I was in Wales a couple weekends ago, we had just over a foot of snow! It was a fun 3 hour drive home 😉
