    Show Us Your Motors!

    Yeah @agw_01 and because I kerbed a few of them :eek: The gt4 will live on, I think the new person is going to tidy it up and sort the paintwork out. Still showing as SORN so must be an ongoing thing, just glad it had found a new home. Cost of running etc did not get too of hand but there was...

    Show Us Your Motors!

    Yeah I think leasing them for £269 a month has helped shift a few I imagine. The engine on mine was fine, it was stupid stuff like the heater was not working properly, the alarm being funny so needing to disconnect the battery when parked up. It also needed wheel refurb and some painting and...

    Show Us Your Motors!

    They are the base seats, more supportive than they look but you can pay more for sports seats but on a lease doesnt make sense. Nah haha we are moving from 2 to 1 cars so has to be practical to carry partners roller hockey gear, whilst still being entertaining for me. As much as I loved the...

    Show Us Your Motors!

    Finally got my new Cupra 290 after 9 months waiting and selling my Celica gt4 back in June. :( Three last 5 months driving a 1.1 55bhp panda has been painful. :D

    Post your living room

    Not the greatest of pictures I am afraid, the wall type and the windows make it hard to get an all in one picture. The ones we had from the agent are better but not uploading them for obvious reasons :D Our second lounge / music room

    Married Couples : Finances Split or Combined?

    Similar to many others, septate accounts for leftovers and one joint for bills and general spending (shopping eating out etc). Pooling the money would not work for me as i like to spend money more than she does so that arrangement would not work out last for too long.:D

    Electrical instillation condition report

    Well that makes me feel better, they have agreed to it anyway so all is good, didn't think £200 was bad as the house has 2 consumer units. :)

    Electrical instillation condition report

    So the quotes we have had back are around £200 but include the following. It might be a tough sell to the sellers to ask for 5 hours of no electrics and removal of switches and sockets.

    Electrical instillation condition report

    We are in the process of buying a 1930s house and the survey said the usual you should get the electrics checked. We are looking at getting some quotes for this and so wondered if anyone has a) had this done for a house purchase 2) rough cost estimate for the work Thanks :)

    What temperature is your house?

    More the sleeping part, I guess I like sleeping under duvets so don't need the room to be 18c to enjoy that, I am more happy cool than hot. Also I am tight northerner :p

    Nexus 5 upgrade for around 300?

    Well it's my fault but I never have the brightness up high and so after the LCD a large white background can look a bit pink on low brightness. It's not a display issue as they are fine brighter. This is on rgb mode, btw if that makes a difference.

    Nexus 5 upgrade for around 300?

    I moved from a nexus 5 which I had from new to a one plus 3 today. Initial thoughts, it is taking time to get used to the amoled from the LCD. Size isn't as much of an issue as I thought apart from the fact it is ridiculously thin which makes me think i will drop it. I will give it a few days...

    Apple to Introduce New Macs at October 27 Event

    Iirc the base iPhone went up 13% this year and with the £-$ being 20%down then even if the price stays the same in $ it more than likely won't here. If it does I cancel my order and get a new one.

    Apple to Introduce New Macs at October 27 Event

    Figured I would cover all bases, ordered a 2015 13rmbp from the refurb store for £849 for delivery to an apple store. I can get an 8% discount on new ones through work but I imagine with an expected 15% price increase the new base model will be about £200 more. If that turns out to be true and...
