  1. Works for me. That's the first I've seen of such an issue too. EDIT: Betsy's an Android Girl so she's probably safe 🙂
  2. Welcome back - what were you driving during those three years in the wilderness?
  3. I did wonder whether it was wise. Here's a different link saying pretty much the same thing https://www.electronicsweekly.com/news/business/bmw-punt-for-hydrogen-cars-2023-07/ As people will buy anything with a BMW, Audi or Mercedes logo on it, BMW investing in Hydrogen can only be a good thing for those of us better suited by non-electric modes of propulsion and it'll potentially stop lots of holes being dug in Cornwall.
  4. https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=b57ff263daa8e5f9JmltdHM9MTY4ODQyODgwMCZpZ3VpZD0wYjNhZjhiMy05NGU3LTYxMzgtM2UzZS1lYjkwOTUyNzYwMGQmaW5zaWQ9NTUwMA&ptn=3&hsh=3&fclid=0b3af8b3-94e7-6138-3e3e-eb909527600d&psq=telegraph+bmw+hydrogen&u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubXNuLmNvbS9lbi1nYi9jYXJzL25ld3MvYm13LWJldHMtb24taHlkcm9nZW4taW4tYmF0dGxlLXdpdGgtbXVzay1zLXRlc2xhL2FyLUFBMWRvaFhw&ntb=1 I'd still never be seen in one, mind...
  5. I think I drew up next to you at the roundabout at the top of Nene Parkway yesterday 🙂
  6. It does!
  7. I needed a doctor's appointment this week. I called at 8.30 when the lines opened and was told "the number of calls has exceeded the system's capacity. Please hang up and call again later". Ludicrious, absolutely ludicrous.
  8. A very good choice. I still have a soft spot for the Gen 2 IS - had lots of fun in mine.
  9. I would concur. I had a UX as a loaner some time ago and was very put off by the lack of boot space. I guess they're doing it to keep up with similarly sized Scheissewagens?
  10. My first IS200 came from Marshall Cambridge. Shocking. Just shocking (the dealer, not the car. The car was great!)
  11. Hydrogen class at Le Mans in 2026! https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=23&t=2038179 I do hope they've sorted out filling stations by then.
  12. The thoughts of Rowan Atkinson: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jun/03/electric-vehicles-early-adopter-petrol-car-ev-environment-rowan-atkinson
  13. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/article-12147957/BMW-drivers-voted-rudest-motorists-Britains-roads.html 10th rudest drivers - how very dare they....
  14. A lot of money for a taxi.
  15. Stone me, how much...?! That will teach me to read a thread properly before going through all the palaver of finding the update. Sorry Betsy, we're staying on Waze....
  16. Likewise!
  17. Ooops - I had a new screen on my IS250 back in 2019 I think. I'd not thought i needed to declare it and have never been asked, yet.....
  18. Glad to hear you had a good experience with Autoglass. I'm now with LV and Betsy really needs her windscreen replacing so hopefully a) they'll use Autoglass and b) the process will be as smooth as yours was.
  19. Ah but is even hydrogen old hat now? https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/22424514/cars-could-be-powered-by-sunshine/ (sorry for the link - I don't make a habit of reading The Sun....)
  20. I used to notice it back in '99 when the IS first came out - a cheery wave or a cheeky flash was quite common. Now I often find that if I'm parked near another Lexus and we come back to our cars at the same time, a conversation usually strikes up about one aspect of ownership or another. I guess if BMW/Mercedes/Audi owners do the same, it's about how many bits have fallen off so far that week.
  21. Thank goodness you're all ok. Shiny metal boxes can be replaced but flesh and bones are precious. I hope you're all soon back to full health again. Yes it's a shame that your IS paid the ultimate price but it did its job and let you all live to see another day. All the best with finding a replacement - keep us posted.

    MPG

    I'm averaging 46.3mpg. It would be more but I'd rather take Betsy to the shops instead of walking.
  23. I've just switched to LV because they were £200 cheaper than my AA renewal (this had doubled!) I could have got a much cheaper deal but the excesses were over a grand! I did consider going for one of the cheaper deals and putting the difference in the bank each month to go towards the excess but life's too short sometimes.
  24. I have a step-daughter though. A plan is formulating....
