    I'm more interested as to whether people would call the Kia Sportage "Sportahj" (as in French 'fromage') or "Sportidge".

    You were slightly annoyed and bored by the subject of cars popping up in other threads and so you created this one.
    And you are bored!?
    I'm not answering your question until you answer mine .. ;)
    I pronounce it "Sportage".

    Hope that helps.
    Got any footage?
    There’s some on an old reel in my garage. I’ll have the old mage resurrect the projector for you, so we can share your umbrage.

    Might be rough though, seeing through the fake tree bough made from old dough, and someone always coughs to spoil the mood.

    Are there more?


    Thorough, lough.

    I find it amusing that I read that very easily.
    As long as I don't think about it. 🤣
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Wrong thread. I blame BT. He is actively trying to sabotage his own thread, which I find ironic.

    We may see a further deterioration of the use of language as certain protagonists attempt to emphasise their new found political separation from Europe.

    I think there is some discrepancy between skill and ambition in those clips.

    And young men with small brains and big egos will by and large be under the misapprehension that traction control is for girls.

    This would eliminate almost all road traffic accidents.

    I suppose my point was that yes EVs will still need maintaining with the likes of tyres, brakes etc but even factoring in replacing some cells in 10 years time the cost of maintaining will be on par with a ICE but you will have saved loads on tax, fuel and insurance (EVs are generally cheaper to insure as was the case for me by 20%)

    I think you are correct tho at some point to make up lost revenue we will be charged based on usage and I think they will introduce a mandatory yearly garage visit to verify mileage and you will pay in arrears for the year before.

    For me it was a simple decision based purely on cost. I pay £176 per month to lease a EV , the petrol version was £168 so basically the same but I would have paid £150 a year in tax and and extra £90 a year in insurance plus 12-15p per mile fuel.

    Even with my modest 6-8k mileage a year I am saving around £70 a month on fuel alone so my actual monthly premium is around £100 when all things considered.

    Another benefit is a 'service' for an EV is basically a safety check so for me that means £55 a year at a main dealer (lease company requires main dealer yearly service) compared to about £200 if it was petrol again another saving.

    Plan is to have enough saved with man-maths to justify a new carbon wheelset in the summer !

    What EV do you have, out of interest?
    I have a DS3 E tense.
