Mine is also due in september, I emailed them earlier this week.

Although I only had to wait 6 weeks last summer for them to fit Evolve dampers (a good upgrade to the ride if/when your dampers needs replacing).

I’ve owned, and loved, both, there is a not insignificant number i3 owners who have previously owned A2s.

i3 very much feels like the successor to A2.
I parked next to a yellow colour storm A2 in the supermarket a few months ago, I think I alarmed the owner with my enthusiasm for his car.

Be warned, if you do want to use their services, you need to book literally months in advance. But service is excellent.

Welcome! By far the best car I’ve ever owned. Can I recommend Wisely Automotive, i3 experts who come to you for servicing and have an excellent YouTube channel for i3 nerdery.

I saw Rob Auton last month in Hastings. He was brilliant. Reminded me of Daniel Kitson for his story telling and unique style, which is the very strongest of praise.

I heard an interview with Ryan Coogler where he said this clip was Michael B Jordan’s natural reaction as it was (deliberately orchestrated to be) the first time he’d heard Miles Caton sing

Stake a Claim was surely the obvious first single? It has such a manifesto type sense to it, it needed to be first.

I’m pretty sure they’re just similar.

Is this true for the average American* or just that the edge cases are more extreme? Google suggests the average mileage for American vehicles is 13500miles per year Which isn’t wildly higher than Europe.

*if there is an ‘average’ American given the vastness and variety of the country

Similarly, although probably much more just me rather than everyone, amongst all the discourse around Wuthering Heights recently, everytime Heathcliff has been mentioned I picture the other 1980s ginger cartoon cat.

Why the massive increase in wattage? you’re probably going to get 7/8 times the light output!

So I assume now you can sell it for a huge profit and live a life of luxury from your tax avoiding gains? 🤣

Were you saying this at the last GE, or just now when it doesn’t benefit your favoured party.

I agree polling is often unhelpful and can be manipulated/ing. But people only generally want election reform when it’s not currently in their favour, so nothing changes.

Enjoyed that article. Have long since got bored of fans moaning about Shaw and really glad to see him playing the majority of games this season.

It seemed to me that Mourinho almost broke him, with his comments about not having a brain and just constant bullying. Glad Shaw came through that.

This is surely what every party as done in perpetuity. Especially Labour in the last election.

You could argue the screen behind the wheel is dated by modern standards, but, in my (admittedly biased) opinion, the balance between screens, buttons and space is superb. Would bigger screens, which seems to be your implication, make the interior better? Almost certainly no.

And another one here! Sublime interior. Sublime car.
Surely it’s more than 3% that have leather tho?

This is the interior of a car launched in 2013. That’s 13 years ago.

Even if you dont like Oasis, to represent that constituency surely you should know that the biggest band of 2025 are from the area and therefore ’What is your favourite Oasis song‘ is highly likely to be asked, REPEATEDLY.

Even on the mild mannered Guardian Football Weekly podcast yesterday he was referred to as ‘A Fucking Prick’.

What was it you guessed? Those stripes were known as ‘Viper Stripes’ In 2000s UK and a fashionable mod for Max Power types for a while.

Conversely, I’m very practical, can do most domestic diy and home improvement type stuff without needing tradesfolk. But when I see someone creating art, playing music, writing, acting etc I feel so pathetically Neanderthal and basic.

I don’t think billionaires become so by worrying about being liked. Monstrous egos and psychopathy normally.

Do aftermarket headlights EVER look better than OEM ones? I can’t think of any that have done.
