    Absolutely gorgeous here right now, and I don't mean me :lol:
    Sun's out, blue skies, 3-4 inches of snow everywhere. Cleared the snow off the car in my shorts and T shirt and didn't feel cold at all.

    WFH as ever supposed to have a new starter today so I have to look some way presentable apparently which is hassle for the 10 minute video call, not sure what I'm meant to do, guided tour of the house?

    If you're careful with your webcam positioning, you only need to dress your top half.

    That's a valid point, or just keep the shutter in the webcam shut claim I live in a cave with no power, just clunk some stones together an claim were cooking

    Also, I still use a travel mug even though I'm not travelling 😂 purely as I forget to drink the coffee while working, thought I'd join in this coffee mug flashing frenzy. DHL, nice loaf by the way home made?


    Yep, always homemade. 50/50 wholemeal and white.

    Genius!
    How did the turds freeze so quickly!? Did you leave last nights turds till this morning!? 😡
    There's about 10 days worth...

    I was waiting for a heavy frost to firm them up...
    get one of those Black Widow catapults and catapult the frozen faeces at passing chavs.
    He should let the turds soften up a bit for a satisfying splat when they hit the tracksuited target.

    keep them solid and sharp and it'll be like being shot with a poo bullet.

    Thats because it will just crush any other car it comes into contact with.

    You could live in that. Or put a turret on it and terrorise the neighbourhood.

    What I want to know is whether he got a complementary pair of open toed sandals and a beard trimmer with the car.

    No need, Seano and Veronese both live closeby.

    Mixture of street charging and home charging. My next-door neighbour has a dropped kerb and a hard standing out the front that is never used, so I'm going to get a charging point on my external wall, she says I'm welcome to use her "driveway". If she sells up, there's street charging within 500m.

    It's light on its feet for a big car, but yes, it is huge.

    Already have a beard trimmer, never worn sandals. I just filled it up with the "special" unleaded. Will see how long the tank lasts - if it's using petrol, I suspect I will actually be able to see the gauge move when I put my foot down.

    My previous plug-in hybrid (BMW330e) has much smaller petrol tank than a regular 330 and i had to fill up really fecking often. Range was like 200-250 miles. Ridiculous.

    Probably not long as it weighs as much as a small planet. (Mine drinks 'super' faster than tlw drinks Westons Vintage and its about 600kg lighter than yours).

    Shall we do a sweepstake on how long it takes Mrs. H3 to put a scratch or a dent on it? o:)

    Yes.

    I wanted a fast premium hatchback, totally impractical, given 2 large children, camping holidays and a dog. She definitely did not want an estate. This is fast, big, and for most of our day to day driving will be on pure battery power, there's no congestion charge so I can hoon round central London, and my parking permit is peanuts as opposed to £300 for a diesel.

    This is so big you don't need to care about lack of space, like Stevo says, you just drive over anything in your way.

    We had only one incident with the last car, when Mrs H³ reversed into a tree. Teeny paint scratch.
