Have brought red cables to use as they match the seats and I feel look better. Not a mod really.😀

Not made any mods but I do agree they look very untidy when you use them.

Excellent post. Thank you.

An interesting positive approach from the Police.

Yawn.

Dear Antony, please read my posts all over the forum, I am more than willing to acknowledge a different point of view and have clearly shown that. On this subject Doog seems unable to accept any other point of view. That is just a shame and it continues just above this post, and yet again he has to get personal this time about another member. He just cannot help himself. Still everyone else provides a lively and open forum and I will continue to enjoy that. Best wishes.

He just does not see what he is doing and how he sounds, Completely locked into Tribalism, Two wheels good four wheels bad. 😇

I wonder if they would say the same today.

So it was personal. That is sad. I did not say I wanted to tax cyclists I said why should they not be part of the discussion. Perhaps you should read the post rather than keep expressing your problem with me and anyone who appears not to fall inline with everything you say. Really sad. 😥 Anyway thanks to just about everyone else who while having many different views on here managed to find areas of agreement without being aggressive.

Thanks, some useful points expressed. Of course the value of the motor industry and the use of cars far exceeds any other area you may wish to offer for comparison. Still not answered the question, what was sad about my post, was there anything you found sad in the post? Or was it just personal? Does not matter which, but why not just own it! Love the gun by the way🤣.l

Dear Doog442, thank you for the acknowledgement of my post quoted above, just out of curiosity and so I do not mistake your response as tribalism; what was sad? Having read your other posts on this forum subject, lets accept you are correct and we need to increase the use of cycles and decrease the use of ICE on the roads, this works and ICE users are taken off the road in large numbers and cyclists become the majority users of the infrastructure. Bliss it would seem. However, please enlighten us as to whom you believe, should, will, and would be willing to make up the shortfall in taxation if the majority users at that wonderful time - Cyclists - should never be considered or expected to be asked? Waiting with anticipation. 🤣

Absolutely correct, however, public opinion can and does change; and by starting the conversation about such issues (i.e. should the current levels of tax avoidance remain acceptable and legal), changes may occur. Just a thought.

Just change a few words. Besides, VED would be a double taxation, as motorists are first and foremost citizens, and already pay for roads through council and income tax. It would be like additionally taxing people for other things they've already paid for, like schools, parks, libraries, hospitals etc. Enough with the taxes already! 🤣

So folks can I remind you of this recent post on another forum: ‘tribalism.’ I’m not sure exactly when this happened, but so many people seem to want to identify with a particular group and defend the views and actions of that group sometimes without reason. I was always taught that, in any debate, the real solution was often somewhere in the middle of the two opposing views. These days, I fear too many people simply believe their view is ‘right’ and every other view is ‘wrong.’ Thus, almost everything becomes tribal. Why take every comment as if it is a personal attack! It is not that unreasonable to consider that all road users pay a fair allocation of the costs for providing that facility, why should that not include cyclists? I would not suggest that cyclists should pay £500 a year (I feel sure Malcolm was slightly tongue in cheek) but are some of you suggesting that an increasing larger group of road users who are being provided with ever increasing facilities should never be expected to pay for the use of those facilities? That seems to me unreasonable, of course it is only my point of view, but surely we should be able to openly discuss the possibility?

Fair enough.

Why would that be Phillip? It is just as much a valid opinion and view, as "When I am on my bike my car is on the drive so if I am to be charged for riding a bike I might as well use the car thereby creating more congestion which no doubt will give people like you something else to complain about😂".

Never had mine fog up but it does get very dirty very quickly in bad weather (rain and such). Often have to clean it.

Not a UX but my CT has dropped from around 65 to around 55 during this recent cold weather. Do not feel it is E10 related because the drop happened more recently.

Excellent moan and becoming more true every day, even see it on this forum. 😩

It could be read both ways, so not clear enough to assume. The Hybrid warranty talks about one year of 10K miles each year. So that could mean if you do more than 10K miles you would need to have a health check earlier than one year to maintain the warranty. Of course if you are doing more than 10K miles each year and stick to the service requirements then it would be renewed at each service. Of course you would then reach 150K miles before 15 years, so would the warranty stop at 150K miles or carry on till 15 years? Confused or not! 🤔

So as the CT needs to be serviced every 10k miles or yearly (whatever comes first) to get the hybrid warranty, that would appear to limit you to 150K miles in total, even if not mentioned. Am I missing something?

Real shame.

Just in case!!! Does your destination page when setting a destination offer two pages? Full post code option is on the second page. 🙂

Lexus currently offer 15 year or 150K miles warranty if checked every year.

Are you sure about the Sat Nav? Mine takes full post code! Currently getting 55+ to the gallon (usual for winter), see 60+ over the summer. We have very different experiences of the same car.
