I did hear from a friend his BMW got reversed into and it was 370 days to get sorted, not even large damage. Made me feel a little better but maybe more concerned heh!

Still waiting, annoyingly my insurance is also up for renewal. Likely gonna renew with the same bunch because of the in progress thing. I think the premium damage wasn’t as bad as I feared in the end though. Still £650 isn’t where I’d like it to be 🙄 Emailed the body shop a couple days ago but...

I must be one of the few that actively likes the softer throttle response. I generally have custom set to all the horses available but at a slower response on the throttle (and OPD whenever possible too) I find with the shorter throttle travel modes I’m only ever using a fraction of it and I...

Yeah, I was tempted to but my life (not gonna bore anyone with details) is hectic and dramatic enough to not want to jinx my luck by chasing. BUT, on a lighter note I did get a response today to my polite email asking where the heck were up to as the communication had been pretty good but as...

True enough, getting real bored of this “gearbox” thing and static cruise control and don’t even get me started on the clutch 🤣 To be clear, nothing WRONG with them, just I’d prefer not to have them. And the fact my electric bill is UP! Whilst having to put dino juice in this thing. Insult to...

🎶I want my… I want my… I want my emmm geee four… 🎶 (three would’ve sounded truer to the song but that’s not what I want 😊) Pardon the interruption, just quietly venting. Been 4 weeks since assessment submitted and still no word so I’ve finally had time to chase them. Let’s see what happens...

I test drove one to feel it and I only noticed it when I was feeling for it, still left my order in and didn’t regret it. It depends how much motorway you do I’d imagine. I don’t do much and if I do I don’t tend to be in that range so it doesn’t bother me as much as most. YMMV as they say.

Just updating but nothing has actually happened as yet, assessment has been sent to insurers and its tumbleweeds aplenty unfortunately. Had to drive down to London and back (in a day!) at the weekend. That would’ve been much nicer without the petrol consumption and the manual gearbox (and WITH...

If your XPower is vibey and you’ve not left first gear yet that might be where your problem lies. There’s not supposed to be a gearbox in an XPower 😂 Sorry, I’ll get me coat 🧥

Hey, checking back in. I got an update yesterday! They’ve finished…. Assessing it 🙄 costs sent over to insurance for the verdict on which side the coin lands I guess. Not moving fast but I haven’t been chasing as I’ve got too much other stuff on my plate but as nice as the Kia Ceed I’ve got...

I can only hope but they only collected the effing thing yesterday 🙄 no idea where that went wrong but it’s with them now so a fix in a sensible timeframe would be nice but at least I’ve got a courtesy car now. Kia Ceed. Dino burner and manual, feels archaic! On the plus side I’ll REALLY...

Australians wouldn’t give an MG 4X for anything else 🤓

Yeah, that’s my slight concern too but hopefully it either goes OK or they get a proper look and give up before they start.

Latest update is that they ARE gonna try repairing it. Will likely add lead time but will see how it goes. Being picked up from the yard it got recovered to for a proper look of course. Least the airbags didn’t deploy and no glass broke so the cabin is pretty OK.

I only discovered this word a day or two ago and here I see it in the wild 🥰
