Has anyone had any success with wireless groupsets? Quite fancy one for my mountain bike but don't fancy SRAM AXS pricetag...

Do you reckon that's something a remap could solve or have you come across any discussion to suggest there's a fix?

V8s?

As for affording to run it though I don't plan to (I'm daily driving a Hyundai Kona EV at the moment, lol), it would be purely for an occasional weekend trip and Cars & Coffee runs...

Oh wow, that's absolutely wicked!

I wouldn't go for a diesel though unfortunately which is making my life more difficult...

Saw some gorgeous Land Cruiser Prados in HK a few weeks ago and really got me thinking about non-Amazon models!

I'd say just pull it away from the wall and stick a duvet over it if the neighbours turn out to be unsound about it?

Well I'm actually BMW allergic due to a hideous ownership experience but I must admit those early V8 E53s are aging nicely...

I'm not even sure why I'm considering something like this but I guess daily driving an EV has somehow equated to me justifying some obnoxiously big engined petrol thing as a weekend toy for surf trips and Cars & Coffee outings which is partially why the Volvo appealed so much being such an oddity...
I'd probably just go for a Land Cruiser Amazon if they existed with sensible mileage and pricing these days but they're all 300k km + and expensive (or even better, a Lexus LX450).

@hugo7 I've not got any yet but they're on the not too distant horizon so that would be a consideration alright...

I'm a bit allergic to BMW and find the ML a bit hard to look at so maybe a GL is the move but the weirdness of the Volvo appeals to me as a luxe-barge...

@skinny Jeep just would be for me unless it was an older Cherokee...

Oh really? Not good?

I've developed an unhealthy want for a first generation XC90 4.4 V8...

Have you got an acoustic piano or would you consider something electric? A nice electric one would be no problem whatsoever as you can just turn it down but I suspect an acoustic piano would travel quite well through walls...

In other help requests I'm thinking very strongly about selling my PRS Custom 22 (the one I had refinished by Rich in Wales) to purchase a Lowden F-22 acoustic...
Am I mad?

Few shops are struggling to shift them so have them on at £8500-8995 out the door.

Hard to believe when by all accounts they're the primo mid-weight adventure bike! I'll probably look out for one myself in a few years when I've a bit more experience on bikes and prices have dropped on used ones!

Selling my Suzuki TU250GB Grasstracker but may not be what's wanted...

Appreciate the vote of confidence!

@Sheppz I actually just used rattle cans from Halfords and it turned out great! Just have a read of the cans to see which primer is suitable for plastics but I don't think you need to be overly fussy with it and then whatever colour and a clearcoat over.

For similar reasons I'm on the lookout for a nice Yamaha XTZ750 Super Tenéré at the moment...

Not a lot of mid weight bikes excite me.

Aprilia Tuareg 660 looks proper good...

Otherwise the Husqvarna Norden 901 and Ducati Desert X are both very spicy...

Yeah that is quite fair, would a used DS/ DSR work for commuting?

Oh that does sound exciting although I have to wonder if keeping the GS for long range trips and going for a less plush electric would be a good consideration? Much as I'm an EV convert I just don't see bikes being along far enough yet to only have one EV bike only in the garage?

I believe they've only started delivering since January...
Variety is the spice of life though eh!

Here's our website if anyone fancies a peep by the way.

All pros, the only negative will be a slight mpg reduction and not much space for anything else on roof but otherwise an absolute win for speedy and comfortable camping!

Pics of Forester also please...

That's really the main concern to be honest...
I would hope so if they're planning an EU rollout but need to suss it out.

@soul I'm not overly put off by the idea of no dealer network as they're so affordable it wouldn't upset me to have to bodge it with third party components if there was any issue and they're actually surprisingly simple once you get used to them...

• batteries
  
• motor
  
• controller
  
• charger
  
• cabling
  Not much more to it!
  

I can't see the system performance graphs for the AC units but I'll have a proper look over lunch. It would really boil down to their efficiency at heating...

My immediate gut reaction would be that if you've got UFH in already then yes it would be worthwhile to swap to a HP for that and the DHW, it'll be a more pleasant heat than using the AC all the time which would make the place quite dry.

c.£60-70k

That's including water filtration, cold water storage, water pressurisation and provides DHW, heating and cooling though.
It's not cheap but any means but for what's in it it's not expensive either.

Is it an absolutely stupid idea to consider importing one of these Ultraviolette F77s from India? Specs are fantastic and price is good enough to still be reasonable even with import costs I'd imagine!

Hey mate, I'll do a proper step by step of how it went over in this thread as there seems to be a bit of interest in this sort of thing at the moment.
