Off Topic Cars

I had a go in a Velar p400e the hybrid version this week, not much of a car tbh. Felt a bit meh.

 

I'll have to Google that ****. Brb.

 

You do **** that isn't on a road?

 

Generally need roads for cars mate.

 

No you don't.

 

Ok

 

It's an off roader. What's wrong with it?

 

I drove it to Cheltenham mate, not up Catbells.

 

So as a road car what's so meh about it Jeremy?

 

For 65 grand it felt underwhelming. It couldn’t lay a glove on my old BMW X6. It has a nice screen for entertainment and that’s about it.

 

I often wonder what sort of debt people get into buying a car that's 65K. the mind boggles. Is car finance the new mortgage?

 

Mostly company related assets at that sort of price. Think it’s about £750/month with 12% BIK to the driver.

 

Tesla is 0% BIK I believe.

I’d love a Model S long range but they’re probably way out of my budget.

 

One of these then?

 

I love classic Ford mate, I’d have loved to drive that to Cheltenham and back.

 

@Sweats how you getting on with your Tesla bro? I need more info before deciding if it’s an option.

I really like the look of the new Landrover Defender but it’s a bit pricey.

 

Came across a FB group called Barn Finds. Basically old cars either stored or dumped in barns and garages across the UK. Some real gems in there like Mk1 Escorts and Cortinas, Old Jags, Rolls Royce and some classic old Mercs. Some in desperate need of restoration, and some just needing a few parts to drive again.

But there are some absolute heaps in there that people are trying to sell, basically old shells that aren't even worth the weight in metal for scrap. Just made me laugh the chancers trying to flog some of the old rusting ****e lying around

 

your new ride looks swag bro

 

One mans scrap is another mans treasure bro.

Steptoe will be all over that.
