The double whammy of NI insurance increase from 13.8 to 15% and the reduction in threshold was not conducive to lowering employment and agree something really needs to be done to help the young find meaningful employment. But they tied their own hands with the stipulation that they were not...

Oh and we have a Green party led city council, who want to charge us £20 per week per parking space for employee parking, and we own the land. And if you want a Tory example, just go back to Brexit and the fool saying live on camera, F*&k business, and this has been the single most impactful...

Hey, let's not be naive here, do you think that it's just a Labour government issue, SME's are the backbone of the corporation tax system. Once you get past that threshold you can afford those devious tax consultants and find all the ways of avoidance, I mean just look at Amazon. And don't get...

Wow, that looks impressive and a serious amount of design work :thumbsup:

There is indeed some lovely cars there, not sure about the slammed ones though but each to their own. That gold Fiat 131 Mirafiori Sport, that doesn't look like a four cylinder 16V dohc engine

I used motoreasy once and had a claim with them that went through, as ori stated, the downside is they don't use a dealer for repair work but it was relatively a painless experience, but had to organise my own transport once the car had been left at the garage.

Hello and welcome, great choice, going for the finest modern zed you can buy. Interesting that you've got 799M alloys and not the staggered bi-colour 800M that we get this side of the pond?

I swapped my winter Michelin CrossClimate 3 sports back to the Supersports and boy, they are so loud with road noise and poorer in comfort.

My partner and I went to Gilberdyke garden centre in the zed, when we came out there was a Portimao blue 2.0 MSport (lovely colour) close to mine. We were just leaving as they arrived back to their car and he was watching me leave and greetings were exchanged

If it is actually from a 737-300 (and not a replica manufactured in steel etcetera), then it will be an aluminium alloy, which self passivates in air to form aluminium oxide which acts as a natural corrosion resistant layer. To get that shiny finish, think of the old DC-3, the surface is...

@ori, that's terrible, have they had the car since end of February?

@ori, It really seems like it's a guessing game doesn't it, on the bright side, at least it's summer and you don't need the rear demister

@deltasierra, I'm 99.9% sure that I didn't hit anything, I certainly didn't see any road kill on my way back home. That's the thing though, I cannot prove that I did not hit anything, the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence - gee thanks Karl :(

Just received an email from the motor ombudsman, stating that they have completed an initial review and have decided to investigate my case and will be back in touch when it is assigned to an investigator :thumbsup: @BMWZ4MC, no I use the Mark 1 eyeball ;)

I think there should be groan emoji in the like section :)
