Well Pete I'm not too far from you and my renewal from Tesco has gone from £306 to £641 😱😱😱. Nothing has changed in the past year other than lower mileage than anticipated. First trawl via MSE has come back with £477. As in the old joke - what do you call 50,000 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean? Answer; well it's a start 😎

There is a saying about knowing the price of everything and the value of nothing 🤔. When you look at say St. Paul's Cathedral either it's a stunningly beautiful architectural masterpiece that brings joy to your emotions or its a cold draughty edifice that must cost a fortune to heat. As you say it's your decision 😎

Fiesta - most stolen car in Britain! May have a bearing.

Thanks Brian, that's close to my thoughts ie tax the Jag but use the Lexus insurance cover 🤔to drive it on the odd occasion

I know this sounds obvious but has only just occurred to me. I own a Jaguar XKR coupe which I barely use and now intend to sell on. I tax and insure it every year. My other car is a RX450H which is a brilliant everyday way to get about albeit for only 4k miles a year. So, in view of impending insurance hikes would you tax just the RX? Any thoughts welcome.

Reminds me years ago seeing Amira Willighagen when she was 9 singing Nessum Dorma - knocks your socks off 😱

Exactly!

I know that things in the USA are bigger and better than anywhere else but this is ridiculous 😎 Luxury electric vehicle manufacturer Lucid Motors has posted massive losses while reportedly losing over $225,000 per sold car. According to the company's latest quarterly earnings release, the market has not responded well to its products. Lucid listed a $630.9 million net less for the quarter, stemming from remarkable overhead costs. The $137.8 million in revenue was dwarfed by a $469.7 million lost from "Cost of Revenue." Additionally, "R&D Operating Expenditures" cost another $230.8 million, while "SG&A Operating Expenditures" provided another $189.7 million in losses. In total, the company's "Free Cash Flow" was a whopping negative $706.1 million. These numbers are actually an upgrade from 2022, when the company lost $530 million and was in the hole for $860 million.

He would, believe me 😊

Oddly enough a great friend sadly no longer with us sold, DICKIE a few years ago 😎

Wonder if that will include the Toyota announcement of 700 mile, 10 minute charge solid state batteries? 🤔

I can hear Roy of the Rovers in the distance 😎

It's only time before the zealots blame the dollar to GBP exchange rate decline on climate!

Half a dollar! My how times have changed 😊

That would make it Australian 🥳

I never could get on with those Greek keyboards 😎

Totally agree 👍

If it were it would be "Eivai ola ellinika gia mena" 🤣

Mine is in December so will let you know. As to Latin this is a phrase from 50 odd years ago when I started out in an engineering firm. Roughly translated it means "don't let the bxxxarda grind you down" 😊

Nil illegitum carborundum Peter. At our time of life what possible difference can it make? If your current and foreseeable financial future rests on 1k or so of disposable income then continuing to own a RX450H is not your issue. Yes the theft epidemic is a concern to all but it's not threatening to your existence 👍

There's a chap called Dean Dunham writes in the Mail on-line on legal matters, maybe worth trying to get him to un- complicate it? 🤔

I use duckduckgo.com, have done for ages. They recently offered a beta email tracker cover via a proxy email address. So when you are asked for an email addy you can give them a fully protected one. Great stuff!
