Skoda cars to the fucking moon boys!!!!

If I lived in England I'd buy me a nice little Skoda car for 8k quid. America has nothing that can compare for quality/reliability/price/gas mpg

I just hope you don't think that 8k quid would buy you even a new Fabia (smallest model).

I am talking used mate, calm down! 10k quid for this Skoda below just bought last month, looks better than anything I ever owned (to be clear i don't own this) but in the video he mentions it was only 10k quid, its very low mileage too and looks great.

Yeah, my youngest daughter calls them taxi's (because where I live a lot of taxi drivers use them) but they are solid cars if lacking a little panache.

They have come a long way under the VW group
Pre VW they were amongst the worst crap around ( on par with lada snigger )

Watching OCUK up to their usual tricks. For a while they had the Galax(y) HOF 3080ti at about £1399, then it dropped to £1349, then back up to £1499, and now it's risen to £1699. I would not be surprised if they soon have it back on at about £1399 but have it listed as 'was £1699'.

I'll update when it happens.

I hate it when companies do that... Amazon is one for price changing every day... See with hard drives at the moment as I'm on the look out....

Ironically you could have got them at MSRP if you went to Scan BBQ last saturday(11/09/2021) as they had 790 RTX cards from 3060ti-3090.

I've plenty of cards now!! :laugh:

Sadly not quite close to me but I have some!! :laugh:

Still got my trusty 480s so I'm good!!

Still don't have a car license but picked this up a few days ago, had to get a few things done to it, new tyres, raise the suspension front and back as it was lowered, new stock height side stand as it has one for lowered height.

Man here I thought hayfever season was over, suffering the worst part of it at the moment after not taking any hayfever tablet throughout the month.
I'm no bike expert but that is a nice bike Khemist, stay safe out there as drivers these days are all impatient d*ckheads.

And getting worse by the second I'd say... No one has the time of day for anyone...

If i think about the idiot drivers too much it would put me off riding, i know there are plenty out there.

Isnt that what the government did a few decades ago when the Gov was raising fuel prices and people decided they had enough so were blockading fuel depots? They eventually got people from the army to do the deliveries.

ThaiTaffy · Sep 24, 2021

Can't remember but wouldn't be surprised I only started reading the news once I left.

None left, they got rid of most of them, but happy to report, having just got back from the Supermarket that the shelves were full, albeit I got some beers in so that shelf needs re-stocking

i would say buy some solar panels... but i just remembered the UK is a very cloudy climate. LOL

My backyard is big enough, I am considering some solar panels myself, and a battery to charge a Nissan Leaf. 23k after the 7500 federal tax credit in usa, brand new, and free cost of fuel to get back and forth to work for next ten years before battery needs replaced in the leaf.

not a bad idea. i think i may do it, its pretty sunny where i live.

Aslong as the battery contacts don't corrode slightly break the circuit then nissan claims you need a new battery when all you need is a kettle of water and a wire brush.
