    Rocketing tyre prices

    Ordering via Asda Tyres and getting my local fitter to fit them has worked well for me a couple of times. They get better prices because they order in volume.

    *Competition* Show us something OP! [Prizes To Be Won]

    I'm OP because if I add up the total power of the all engines in the household, it comes to 1135bhp. (not all those engines are attached to wheels)

    Tread Depth

    Similarly here. Rears are 255/35 R19, Fronts are 225/40 R19 Rears tend to wear out first :cool:

    2017 KIA Stinger GT -Wow

    By the way, don't actually ever go to Littlehampton. It is terrible.

    2017 KIA Stinger GT -Wow

    Sound quality is very good for a manufacturer standard fit - Harmon Kardon, with subs underneath the seats. Note that you have to plug in your phone to get CarPlay, which is annoying, although there are adapters you can buy: https://cplay2air.com/en-gb I don't really use it as I fire up...

    2017 KIA Stinger GT -Wow

    I was looking at new cars, early 2022. The only S5 engine option at that time was the diesel.

    Mercedes E class MOT failure <sob>

    If a pressed steel subframe has a hole in it, it will have rusted from the inside out, and won't be anywhere near as strong as it was originally.

    2017 KIA Stinger GT -Wow

    I bought two, 2018 and 2022. The clincher for me when looking to replace the first one was when I went to look at an AMG E53 and I came back to find the 2018 Stinger surrounded by AMG mechanics - I was stuck chatting for about 20 minutes. It's not perfect, but it comes fully loaded with only...

    So breaking down isn't fun - faith in humanity restored

    I still remember the time I stopped on the A12 in a layby for a quick wee behind a bush. It was a hired Transit, it was January, and about -2C. I was dressed in jeans and a T-Shirt. I hopped out, and shut the door. Keys, coat, phone were in the van. The action of closing the door for some...

    Not using your car because it's too nice

    This is a thing. I mostly drive a VW Polo 1.0T that was meant to be my daughter's car. There is also a car on the driveway that is a 3.3v6 twin turbo. Why? - Easier to park - Town driving doesn't need a 3.3v6 twin turbo - I don't care if the Polo gets dinged - 40mpg - Wringing out what...

    An approximate calculation shows I will get access to Members Market when I am 101 years old.

    Paying off PCP

    I did this on Mrs V's recent Cupra. It's really not an issue: The Manufacturer provided the incentive, the Dealer got the sale, I let the PCP run for a month or so and the Finance company got a small interest payment.

    First new PC for years, possible spec (I7 13770, DDR5)

    I have the Asus TUF Gaming Z790-Plus WIFI (LGA 1700) DDR4 version. Quality of motherboard is good ... no issues so far with i7-13700K, plenty of USB ports, plenty of NVMe sockets. The only thing I ran into was that I didn't realise that you needed the Wifi aerial to be attached for Bluetooth to...

    The Ada Lovelace RTX 4080 Owners Thread.

    I'm sure that's a great card ... I hope the AMD display drivers are more stable for you than they were for me.

    DVLA car tax website quoting higher than DVLA renewal V11

    It's sooo annoying, but there is nothing you can do other than paying the increased rate.

    The Ada Lovelace RTX 4080 Owners Thread.

    Something like an Asus TUF 4080 ... has a more open case design with three fans, so possibly slightly better cooling. The Asus GPU Tweak software is handy. Quite whether their "military grade capacitors" are better than FE is debatable.
