That purple is fab. I use a battery makita, leaf blower, altough i wish i had the smaller one. for all the drips, especially now its colder. Folks use pet dryers, warm air, but they can be expensive, and i dont have any pets, except next doors cat, who pops in for a dreamie or two.
Brillent. Well done, that was me a few years ago. I do like white, and the i6, does look fab in the colour, with added gloss. Love a stormtrooper look. I did find on the white bmw, a rub of autoglyms, SRP, helped with any scrapes, and funny ingrained dirt, not just tar. Its old school, but may be of use during the winter grime. Back from hols now so gotta to grip with this machine. Have ordered from the sun lounger, a lower storage panel for the dssh partion, from Ali. Will let you know, how it goes.
Great. They brought back the BMW series 2. Waited so long, i ran out of lease for it. Just have to see how we get along, with the i6. The size is doing me in, not had a chance this two weeks to do any driving.
Ha ha, they are big cars, too old now, to work at speed, they are tricky around the rear fins. I just hit mine with polar seal, and a wipe of ceramic spray. I have two of the autoglym foam guns, a bit useless, i really like the look of the mjjc, I keep meaning to get hold of autoglym, to see if they can replace them. I can’t get the mesh filter out, the mechanisms are rock solid and I dont have a vice. I think my detailing is probably done for the winter now, may squeeze in a quick wash and seal at the end of October. Then its the guys at the local hand wash, they will probably charge me big car rate!! Folks keep saying the hyundai paint is very thin, so will watch for scratches, I thought the bmw paint was thin, the white showed up, stone chips.
Halting production of the panda, and Alfa as well. I liked the tonale but expensive on MB, I liked the junior too, but small, everything needs a pack at extra cost.
Here’s a table showing the tariffs with the 14p payg. Still slightly confused as the i6 is quite efficient. And i have only topped it up at Sainsbury’s once.
Yup, cheers, its all a bit annoying, ovo not working with the charger, and a beta tester for hyundai. I sold the idea of an EV to the OH, as overnight charge of 7p. Maybe I thought it would go to 10p. But the fact it has doubled. Not so clever, as only had the car a week or so. Maybe its a marking coup or massive mistake, as all i see is folks off to Eon or octopus. Bit more difficult for me, as the household bills, are not in my name. I think I will go with the 14p. Payg. As rene, says, its still cheaper with this tariff. For me its still not clear, what that means, is it instant charge at 14p anytime or wait for a charging schedule, and the external charge if on a sub, is worth about £10 a month. But can’t work out with whom. The supplier might charge £1kw. Still learning, and thanks for the input.
It’s not clear, as far as I can tell, what the public charging voucher is for, as one off year or monthly. I dont get the subscriptions, but they seem to be pushing a battery check and insurance, which we, and I should imagine, many others dont need.
Also with the sub, if you go over the limit, you get charged the full whack.
Just seen the new ovo pricing, after getting charger faff around, fitting a smart meter, they are doubling the price per kW. Wishing I had gone ice.
The new Hyundai infotainment system and car road map, unveiled at the investor speech. Let’s hope a little trickles down our way.

Get the electroverse app, and order their RFID card. Works a treat and there is often discounts on plunge pricing. You will need it anyway for longer runs.
Thanks guys. That’s so interesting. I had been asked re the safety, I will discuss the points here. I do think its a slight overreach, as its reported in the press, its EV’s that catch fire, can’t open doors ect. I did see some release toggle in the boot, I assumed it was for the ev charger flap. In the instance reported a child did escape, but the car was impaled on a tree!
Rescuer describes how he was unable to open Tesla doors as man and two children burned alive.
Just been asked this question about the doors. Now, the ionic 6 has doubled glazed windows, so harder to smash. Not sure if the interior door handles are electric, the rears have child locks. So apparently the victims could not open the doors and the passing rescuers couldnt either. Then the car burst into flames. Could this happen to the i6? Emergengy services have those massive jaw cutters, but the first respondeds dont.

Hopefully, real buttons making a comeback. Keep your eyes on the road, the designers say. What a strange idea, in a car!!
Thanks glos guy, I do keep looking at the older models, the new gran coupe, was a step down in interior quality and finish, i think the model, i just let go, was the last “solid” bmw. I also wonder if the young designers, are are thinking of folks using voice commands. There seems to be a redundant “tuning” button on the contols, maybe for other markets. Having watched a bit of the big motor show in China on YouTube, the European manufacturers stands were like ghost towns, all the Chinese brands, massive screens, front and rear, nice plush interiors, full of tech, lidar on the roof. Very little switchgear. The future?
Nightmare with this OVO app, now its a new app, “ovo charge.” Obviously charger not listed, car marked up as beta, with disclaimers. Can’t progress on app, as charger is not listed, so it just hangs. However, good charging at Sainsbury’s, very fast to 80% and charged 60p, per KW. I believe that using Electoverse its 55p. No fussing, just plugged in, a bit of shopping and done. Not busy either. Hooray, the card arrived today, so will try that. Could have used the app, but it was pouring with rain, and of course, no overhead cover around chargers!
