    EV car driving phenomenon

    Has anyone else noticed how EV’s behave / drive on the road ? I first noticed it as a passenger in Uber’s, as they try to maintain a constant speed and the driver is on and off the throttle you, get a rocking sensation as the regeneration kicks in slowing them and then they have to apply the...

    Who on here has classic Fiat Panda 4x4?

    I am sure I recall someone on here posting about having a Fiat Panda 4x4? Reason I ask is they have always appealed to me for a bit of fun and one has popped up on eBay that I quite fancy. So looking for a bit of advice on what to look out for. It will be replacing my little Trabant.

    Car dryer blowers

    Has anyone ever found a solution to contactless car drying using a blower. I had a master blaster once but it sounded like a jet engine and was not particularly efficient so I donated it to SI. But I see hand held rechargeable ones on social media that look really good, but I suspect they are...

    Best V12 sub £150k

    Ok I posted in Ewan’s “2023 car plans” thread that next year as I plan to cash in some investments and will be considering swapping out my cars, and he suggested my conundrum would make an interesting thread on its own. The last time I considered upgrading / changing from the Strad I decided to...

    Outdoor Cover wanted

    I know people have a view on outdoor covers, but I have my reasons for wanting and using one. Currently my OEM one which I obtained second hand on here in 2016 is failing, so I want to replace it. Before I order something on line, does anyone have one they don’t use and want to sell, does...

    Tips for Surrey Hills to New Forrest road trip

    For my Birthday my kids have treated me to a 24hr classic car hire. So on Wednesday I am picking up a 1964 Merc 190SL in Weybridge and taking a nice country drive to a half decent hotel in the New Forest. I am thinking a meandering route in and around the Surrey Hills and taking in lunch, and...

    Should I, or shouldn’t I ?

    Ok - along with my Stradale I love a classic and currently have a rather lovely Sunbeam Tiger and an attention seeking Trabant ! So why am I tempted by this ……… Never owned a Cortina, never thought I would want one (well perhaps a MK111 Savage) then this pops up on eBay ……...

    Magnetic number plate fixing

    Seen a number of posts on here over the years about removable number plate fixings to swap show plates for road plates. Came across this on Amazon, no idea if they are any good, but thought I would share in case someone was still looking for a solution. GENMAG® 1 x magnetic number plate...

    PPF removal

    When I got my Strad it came part covered in PPF (front end, side skirts and rear quarters). Last time I cleaned it I could see it was starting to yellow and some edges were collecting dirt. Have removed the rear quarters for now, but after LeMans the whole lot will come off. It’s time...

    Anyone ever owned a Trabant ?

    For some reason (well after driving one in Berlin) I thought it would be fun to own an original two stoke 2 cylinder trabant for a while. They are properly horrible things, but it’s the quirkyness that appeals. Will get the estate model so it can be used for trips to the dump and to get my...

    Anyone looking for rear Michelins

    Hi I need to replace my front tyres due to uneven wear. I fancy matching all four corners most likely with vredestein ultrac vorti+, so my part worn rears would be available. I know there is availability issues with Michelin so asking to see if anyone would be interested. Michelin pilot...
