Taxi drivers in munich love a section of derestricted autobahn. Max so far, 125 mph in an old merc !

Someone posted a picture of a car seat bolted to the roll cage of a caterham on the Caterham Facebook group this week - maybe thats an option

Got 9% last year, but given inflation that was just treading water. Company isn't doing that well at the moment, so expecting this year (announced in June as financial year is July to June) to be tiny if not non existent.

Length of flight is immaterial. The catch 22 is once you're ill enough to want to stop, you're to ill to take any kind of flight, be it 1 minute or 1000 minutes.

The problem with Switzerland is, even if you can afford it, it robs you of the precious time that you have left. To travel to Switzerland you have to be well enough to travel, and if that's the case then its likely that you don't want to die just yet. Take my Dad (and the disease I'm at a...

Good choice on the Jazz. Great car for your use case. My mate used to do marketing work for Honda in the UK. Average age of Jazz owners was well into the 60s :)

I'm a big supporter of assisted dying, having watched both my parents die in pretty unpleasant ways, and being at heightened risk of the thing that killed my Dad. However, given what is happening in Canada, I don't think you can discount the slippery slope argument. It looks like a complete...

Did you have to go after people for non-payment of the management fee? One of the benefits of the management company for my estate is they have their own legal department to go after the couple of selfish ******* who try not to pay each year (and believe me, they can afford it, they're just a...

I live in an estate like this and what @dowie said is correct. The estate is not adopted by the council which means we have to pay for maintenance of roads, verges etc. But it also means when the council gave planning permission for a new development next to us and tried to force a road...

It does feel a little silly right now as it's 10C and just stopped raining. Genuinely had the one in the lounge on heating mode this morning...

Had a panasonic split aircon unit installed last weekend. Inside units in my lounge and bedroom. Cmon summer, do your worst!

My noco 40 also gets used to power the motorised jockey wheel to shuffle my trailer around. Great bit of kit

Can also recommend Briskoda.net for info. On my second Kodiaq - had a 2019, now a 2023. Boring but dependable as I need 7 seats.

Been driving a hire car (vw t cross) in Munich this week. They had 2 foot of snow on Saturday (Goolge some images - it's been pretty bad even for southern germany) and while most roads are finally clear, the minor roads are a death trap of deep snow and compacted snow that's now ice with giant...

I was travelling for work this week and fly from Luton when I can as its nice and close to me, and easyjet is an easy one to get past the expenses police. Thankfully, they don't fly from Luton to where I was going, so I went from Gatwick instead. I always use car park 2 - it would have been my...

Many years ago it was definitely a tonuge in cheek thing - more like a thought experiment than people who truly believed it. Google Charles Kenneth Johnson - he was the president of the society. I remember it in the 90s and thought about joining as it sounded fun. Far cry from the nutters...

Wife got a frozen shoulder a couple of years ago - cause serious pain, interfered with sleep, couldn't even raise her arm enough to wash her hair. NHS waiting list was longer than season tickets at <insert name of your favourite football team> as if you weren't dying from it, you're at the...

Living inside the M25 means what looks like a great wage really isn't. To be fair, we chose to live in the house we do so we made the trade off with eyes open. But it's hard not to be jealous of my mate who's just paid off his mortgage aged 44 ! Back to my stale bread and water....

If you like the octavia, then a karoq or kodiaq is worth a look. Had a kodiaq for 4 years, with a new one coming in October. Used as a family wagon for 2 kids plus parents in law, plus towing my race car to tracks. 20 grand should get you something decent. Basically the same chassis as a tiguan...

For a stag do - definitely. At 6am on a work trip, bit punchy for me ! Now sat in a bar with a beer and currywurst on the way :)
