Fantastic event guys! Thanks Sam for the opportunity to convince Tony to try a proper drive in the Evora. Sadly, in the end I don’t have a video of Tony ‘seeing the light', maybe I could’ve tried harder but I was conscious of not hogging the mic 😆 The hard bit is getting someone behind the wheel of an Evora, once they do it’s clearly a quality purpose-built car to enjoy UK roads. The offer still stands Tony, might bring it along to another event one day 😉 Thanks again guys, enjoy Aus 🤩

I think the delivery mileage scenario makes sense.. if you have the money to buy two, one to invest and one to drive. Think I remember a chap on Jayemm’s Chanel who had two Subaru Impreza P1’s. One that he daily’d and another one that was mint with really low mileage. If you just buy the delivery mileage car you’ll be tortured wanting to drive it but knowing you can’t

We have a 2016 f type r and I keep hearing how unreliable and thirsty they are. Our experience is completely different thought. You can hardly get this thing over 12-13l/100km and it has been faultless ever since we got it. Coming from several generations of 911 we had much more struggle with them.

I don’t think delivery mileage cars make sense for most people. Sure, there’s a place in the world for delivery mileage examples of special cars to be preserved and displayed. But for myself and, I’m sure, most people that are into cars, I’d rather buy one I can drive than one to just sit and look at.

29:35 .... er, any car loses range if you floor it? My Golf R drinks through a tank so quickly if I have fun with it. Petrol cars use more petrol, so does diesel, so do EV's? Although 170-200mi range on that i5 is a joke, especially for the price. Its not competitive at all with any of the other makers, its just under half what you could get out of a Tesla Model 3 for a 3rd the price. EDIT: Oh you guys cover it around 1:00:00, interesting chat!

@MrDavidfball 8 ай бұрын

my rule of thumb is if your being pushed towards a certain form of energy for a vehicle then don't go there, buy a diesel we was told and look where that is now, buy smart cars and pay no VED (road tax) and within a couple of years guess who was paying VED? stick to what you know is best for you, remember if they can sell brand new cars its a big chunk of tax income for the people in charge.

A friend from Monaco has several exotic cars including LaF, F40, 250 SWB, in addition to modifying all of them, he also uses them as a regular car!! His LaFerrari has almost 60,000km, all the others are like that!I think cars with delivery mileage are terrible! I'm not at the level of this friend of mine, my most expensive car is a Scuderia, but since I bought it I've put more than 75,000km on it without the slightest regret!

‘Soul’ is a real thing that you can’t fake, EVs are never going to have it. But I think the Ioniq 5 N is the EV that has done driver involvement the best so far with the simulated gears and sound that you can change on the fly. Although it’s still a big heavy crossover thing. We need to combine those sort of features with a fairly lightweight chassis with communicative steering to make the best enthusiast EVs possible

@Ze-Germanzuk 8 ай бұрын

But I think using that logic then no enthusiast should be buying new cars. I recently drive pretty much all the new BMWs on track and hated all of them, the M4 and M3 have such numb steering, it's just too easy and souless to drive I don't see the appeal. Sure it's fast but it's dull, I'd much rather keep my E46 M3, after the E46 BMW went downhill. Feel similar with porsche, the old ones were so much more fun to drive despite being so much slower.

Cars are to be driven and seen. They are not paintings, or bottles of vintage wine. The sooner these 'investors' sod-off and leave our hobby alone, the better. I am amazed that HMRC haven't clamped down on capital gains, ruining it for real enthusiasts for whom increasing values offset the running costs.

@neilturner6749 8 ай бұрын

Well you can’t have it both ways. HMRC applying CGT would reduce the inflating influence of the investor market by putting off some buyers, certainly with mainstream stuff like Porsche GT models that don’t usually appreciate that much in the long term anyway. It’s not going to control the top-end stuff though, cos most “big players” would still accept paying 40% tax on a profit of £millions or several £hundred thousands.

I think Tony is so wrong with the m3 and i5 comparisons. It’s not even comparable. The i5 is most likely a company car, low bik, low running costs and luxury. The m3 is a middle aged guys car who doesn’t do millions of miles, has a family and either works from home or has a company car.
