Be Excellent To Each Other

New car that we're picking up next Saturday.



I don't really need a car day to day so it's mostly my wife's to replace the Nissan Leaf but it'll be great to have something that'll do a few more miles so we don't need to take the campervan for any longer trips. Absolutely loved it on the test drive, bags of power and compared to the Leaf it feels like a fucking spaceship.

Polestar?

Yeah, new to us, not new new.

Very nice! When do you get it?

Picking it up Saturday, anyone want to buy a used Nissan Leaf?

You didn’t trade in the leaf? Power move.

They were offering less than we buy any car so worth punting it on autotrader for a bit then just taking the wbac price if it doesn't go.

Ah fair enough. More money to spend at Gotham Garage.

Tenner, final offer.

Just signed up for the salary sacrifice scheme for a car.

Ordered this subtle car..

I really wanted another Octavia hybrid, but Skoda are not doing this option for a while.

That looks rad - I like the colour and the black accents.

I nearly got the RS but I didn't really offer anything over the Sportline besides the green paint - and that very nearly swung it in the end.

I like the colour from a safety perspective. It always bothers me how silver cars just vanish in heavy rain, fog, snow, etc. This is the safety vest of cars.

Definitely won't be losing it in a car park either.

Yes it was the green paint that swung it, as I really like the colour on my Octavia.. It is no different than the sportline really. I think it gets a slight power boost.

you say that.. I was nearly crashed into as'the did not see me'

In the safety green car? I’d say if they didn’t see that then they maybe need to have their eyes reassessed.

Yes in my safety car

I think you need a safety car jingle to play whilst you’re riding around.

You wouldn’t hear it over the colour.

I do like it though, Kov.

It does indeed, which will get it to 62mph 0.2 seconds faster

It's still the most powerful production Skoda they've ever made, though.

Fab.. 0.2 seconds, that will get me to the office quicker

Had the Celica re-liveried with metallic vinyl because the previous (matt) one was faded, and a lot of it had to be removed to deal with some rust that was growing on the rear arch...

Do you take it to car shows?

Looking good!

I do love that white, red and green colour scheme, it looks really cool

Im thinking about buying a Passat estate (they're called 'wagons' out here), something in 6-8 years old would seem a good pick for me. Something that's a bit better to drive than my ~20 year old focus, with the ability to lug stuff around if required.

Consider a VW transporter similar. Same footprint, but makes shit so much easier.

I love having the van.

It depends on what you're lugging about and how often. The Passat will be much more pleasant to drive, day to day.
