I would say my current Mini Clubman. 300BHP, AWD, practical and fun to drive. Makes a nice noise when you want it to, but also quiet on the motorway when cruising at 70. It's quite unassuming/not very well know compared to similar performing cars like the Golf R, M135i etc. The sad part is that...

Never played a GoW game before until the PC version. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

That's genuinely shocking. Being able to order a genuine replacement key from just a VIN number is a joke. I knew things were bad, but this is next level.

My insurance company are not renewing my insurance as they say I no longer meet their criteria (Used to be called Sky, they are now Safely Insured). Nothing has changed other than I now have 1 additional year of no claims. And now my insurance has gone up £150 compared to last year. Could be...

I've got the JCW one. Decent build quality and way better than the original. Never liked the original shape of them. They remind me of a flying saucer lol. I think the new gen Mini key fobs look much better.

I get 30.6 MPG on mine (Face lift, so auto only). My commute is a 40-mile round trip. Roughly 25 of those miles is motorway, the rest city driving, which is probably killing my MPG. That and a slightly heavy right foot when I can. Yeah, I do agree. Sometimes when I take the car for a drive...

Cheers, I'll give it a try. Nothing to lose at this point!

Attempted and failed to remove the washer pump filter. My windscreen washer is barely reaching the windscreen. If you leave it for a few seconds, then try again, it is at full pressure for like 1 second, then it drops instantly. Had a look around various Youtube videos and found plenty of...

I was always disappointed with the stock sound on my LCI JCW. It was just too muted. My Dad had a LCI JCW as well, but has since traded it for a pre-lci auto and the sound difference is laughable lol. It almost sounds like it’s modded compared to the LCI. I definitely agree here. You don't want...

Personally, between me and my Dad, we've had 6 current gen Mini's. One with the 1.5l and the other 5 with the 2L. Never had an issue with either. The 2L used is the BMW B48 engine. Widely used throughout BMW models as well, so if there were major/common issues, we would know about them by now.

On the plus side for Russia, it's one less plane they need to worry about maintaining. :p

They do look quite smart, but yeah at £100 a pop, a bit pricey. I do have the Maclaren F1 wall mounted by using a screw and metal wire tied to one of the main chassis supports in a way to not make it visible, but this would finish the look.

I've had a mixture of Intel and AMD in the past. I'm currently using an AMD Ryzen 7 2700X (Bought when it first came out) with a GTX 1080. Planning on upgrading to a Ryzen 7 5800X3D and probably an RX 7800 XT. Those 2 upgrades alone will make a huge difference, and I don't need to worry about...

The UN should have the talks with Russia, then proceed to grill them about the total destruction of towns and cities caused by Russia.

I also live in Fife and commute 5 days a week into Edinburgh, so I do feel your pain. :p I do feel like some kind of brushing up on driving skills is needed, both on the practical side and theory side. How we do this though to make it work, I'm not sure.

On my way home from the works Christmas lunch. That's me off now until the 2nd. So glad to have the time off. I'm quite lucky because my manager has 2 young kids and has used all of his holidays throughout the year, so I was originally expecting to work at least one day next week, but now have...

My first proper smartphone (As in all touch screen, no number keys, Android based) was a Dell Streak. Probably the largest phone at the time. People used to say it was too large, yet modern day phones dwarf that Dell. Some people even asked me at the time if it was an iPad. :p

This is pretty much a daily occurrence to me. The amount of people I see in the left lane doing 50-55mph, forcing lorries/other slow large vehicles to overtake them, which then causes a tail back of slow traffic(Only 2 lanes here). I'm sorry, but you shouldn't be doing 50 mph on the motorway in...

I quite like the build up to Christmas, but then come Christmas night, things can feel a bit depressing. Then you've got new year's around the corner, which I really couldn't care less for, and from there it just feels like a struggle until spring time.

Which you could arguably say that's exactly what we are doing. Better support Ukraine now, than have Russia closer to your font door. If things had been different and there was no support sent to Ukraine, how much longer before Putin pushes his luck and pushes more into Europe? Ironically...
