I'm 100% a man child. I'm fine with that.

Sheep, are you getting your Tesla then? - by Dougal - 13 August 2019 02:19PM

I'm seriously considering getting a Tesla 3 Performance using the Salary Sacrifice program. 3.5 secs 0-60. - by LoughtonSpur - 13 August 2019 03:02PM

Be good that for when you’re pootling down to Tesco extra in Buckhurst Hill - by Balham - 13 August 2019 03:08PM

Thing is, the electrics are brilliant with it because you can drive them like an old person on a Sunday morning and they are silent, comfortable and simple, then you come up behind an actual old person on a Sunday morning and the acceleration is beyond anything that isn't a hypercar, so you whip past them (with no gear changes to jolt you or slow your acceleration), then just idle back down to cruising speed. They are so much more usable as a public road going vehicle than traditional cars - by Jon - 13 August 2019 03:14PM

But they don't go broom and kick out loads of black smoke - by Dougal - 13 August 2019 03:22PM

I'd really like one but the missus would refuse to drive it so I'm probably going to go for one of the little jap or korean ones - by Dougal - 13 August 2019 03:05PM

Good idea. They’re much more subservient - by Bingo Mo - 13 August 2019 03:12PM

Hahahaha! - by Dougal - 13 August 2019 03:21PM

i need to wait for work to release the scheme details - by SheepTheWelshIdiot - 13 August 2019 02:45PM

The new range of Jaguars coming out over the next year and a bit look quite special, though I imagine they'll up the bar on the costs again. All electric XJ and J-Pace should both be nice though. - by Jon - 13 August 2019 02:35PM

you get a brand new jag at our local stratstones dealership for only a months deposit. - by SheepTheWelshIdiot - 13 August 2019 02:49PM

Zzz Jagszzzzzz - by Tone - 13 August 2019 02:44PM

Your a male. An adult male, who drives a Mini. You may wish to consider your position... ;o) - by Jon likes electric cars and there are limited options for all electric vehicles currently - 13 August 2019 02:49PM

*you're - by Jon hates himself for that mistake - 13 August 2019 02:50PM

There is only one mini that is acceptable, and that is the old actual mini mini's. The rest are an absolute disgrace to the mini name. - by Glassy - 13 August 2019 03:00PM

Except that's crap though. - by Tone is a grown man with an R53 JCW, so not too slow. - 13 August 2019 03:08PM

Haha. I'm really not one for slagging off people's car choices usually (unless it's Glassy and a 911 ;o) ), but I really don't do Minis. If you stand back at any sort of distance at all and hold your hand over them, you can easily imagine them being a child's Early Learning Centre plastic car you're pushing around - by Jon 's "brother-in-law" has one. Loves the guy, but finds him in one equally odd - 13 August 2019 03:17PM

why did you decide to put "brother-in-law" in quotes? - by Dafyd Ginola - 13 August 2019 03:30PM

For precisely the same reason as "niece" previously, refer to that conversation. - by Jon - 13 August 2019 03:30PM

I'm not one to cticise people's cars... Then proceeds to criticise someone's car. Perhaps they're well liked for a reason. - by Tone - 13 August 2019 03:25PM

The Spicegirls were "well liked", as were Boyzone. I think there is a direct correlation between fans of each ;o) - by Jon - 13 August 2019 03:29PM

what do you make of the Nissan Cube then? nt - by fishlovinyid - 13 August 2019 03:23PM

Doesn't even register - by Jon - 13 August 2019 03:30PM

That's a bit silly. - by RJM - 13 August 2019 03:06PM

My ex used to have a proper old school mini. They're too small to really be practical. They also have actual bicycle breaks - by Dougal - 13 August 2019 03:03PM

Oi - by Dougal - 13 August 2019 02:50PM

A dutch mate of mine got the I-Pace and it's been longer in the shop for repairs than he's been able to drive it. He still loves it though so it's probably #decent - by Dan - 13 August 2019 02:36PM

It’s been in the shop for ages getting repaired because his head is in your fridge you weird C. - by Rumbles - 13 August 2019 02:40PM

Hahaha. Sorry dan - by Bingo Mo Likes dan - 13 August 2019 03:17PM

Hahaha blimey - by Glassy - 13 August 2019 02:45PM

If you can afford it mate, treat yourself. - by Glassy - 13 August 2019 02:27PM

when you drive a car with a nice engine/ exhaust it sounds good and you like the sound - it puts a smaile on your face. can't imagine you get that with a tesla? - by Dafyd Ginola - 13 August 2019 02:48PM

Surely you can just make broom broom noises yourself like weird manchild you outdoubtedly are - by Dougal - 13 August 2019 02:53PM

I'm 100% a man child. I'm fine with that. - by Glassy - 13 August 2019 02:54PM

I'm in complete agreement. Hence why I want an M3 or RS4. Or a 911. - by Glassy - 13 August 2019 02:51PM

I will accept one of those, you can guess at which - by Jon - 13 August 2019 02:57PM

M3 of course. Probably whinge about the RS4s handling. - by Glassy - 13 August 2019 02:59PM

No, the original RS4. Never been a fan of the M3, but the "proper" RS4 was a fantastic car - by Jon had one and loved it - 13 August 2019 03:12PM

I've liked every single M3 and RS4. Both cracking cars. - by Glassy - 13 August 2019 03:27PM

I didn't actually mean "original" anyway, I was forgetting they did a B5. I meant the V8 variants of the RS4s, they were nice, lost a little bit of character with the move back to a FI-V6 - by Jon - 13 August 2019 03:33PM

No but Sheep and the car can share battery (nt) - by Yourconscience - 13 August 2019 02:50PM

Haha - by Jon - 13 August 2019 02:57PM

You'll honestly forget about that pretty rapidly when you feel the way it pulls. Linear drive, ridiculous torque, the acceleration available at any point at all is ridiculous. You'll miss the sound, but you gain a lot of drive instead - by Jon - 13 August 2019 02:50PM
