Oh yeah lets ban all fun altogether and have done with it. And before animal lovers get themselves all worked up, you chose to have them.

Want one!!! What is it?
Pretty sure it is a BMWi8, an electric hybrid. There is one in the town where I live. It looks as sexy close up as it does in a picture. The downside, for me, is the lack of grace I would have in getting out of it. I would have to go hands first, on my knees and then get up

So last week I was delayed by an hour on Monday and half an hour on Thursday - I applied for refunds from TFL for both. They gave me a refund for the half hour delay, but declined for the hour delay. How on earth does that work?

The mpg figure is a bit of a swizz. In reality it is nesrwr 40 odd. The 134.5 comes about while the batteries are fully charged. If you just drove it to Scotland, it would be mainly running in petrol only.

Sorry, but you are widely off the mark regarding car tax on the i8......for a start there's the extra £320 a year for the first 5 years as it retail cost exceeds £40k.S

I'm at the early stages of looking for my next car and I have looked at the VW Passatt GTE. The official figure for that is around 218mpg but go on the forums and you will see anything between 43-52mpg in the real world. It is car companies still getting away with horribly misleading information. They should have to quote for a range of journeys, eg city driving, country lane driving, motorway driving. Then 10 miles, 50 miles, 200 miles. That way you get a more realistic spread.
To counter Jack Nicholson, I can handle the truth. I can't handle lies though.

I was only going by the blurb on Autotrader for a 2015 model

It's not just domesticated pets though as many animals are caused extreme distress by explosions going on all around them.
i wouldn't mind if it was just the 5th, buggers letting them off here on a daily basis, even i broard daylight... from prev experience we will have firworks getting let off from now till Christmas. there was a post on one of the dog walking sites in sneck where someones dog was so scared it dug under the garden fence as was run over last night.

Not entirely true. Bob did refer to used at around £42k which, for an i8b would more than likely be pre 2017 model. The new tax rules only affect vehicles Mar 2017 onward IIRC.

I would have thought you needed a step ladder to get up into it.Pretty sure it is a BMWi8, an electric hybrid. There is one in the town where I live.

Builders telling me a day something is going to be done by and then missing that dates
Just don't tell me a day. Let me be unaware what's going on and when. Then I won't be cross that you haven't done it.
