I'm in Northern Ireland and haven't heard of a single company that dropped free EU roaming.

I've a wee 2016 1.2tsi manual skoda fabia. I really like it, think the dashboards layed out perfectly, everything intuitive to use, the AC is simple to adjust, its reasonably efficient, and is the right size for me.

I'd prefer insurance companies to stop taking the piss with the prices, I've never hit anything or got any points, its literally just because I'm a young man. I'd also prefer there to be a little more space between the clutch and side wall in the footwell as I have wide feet and its easy to clip the clutch when putting my left foot on the foot rest.

Well all I'm going to say is RIP Hello Internet

Almost everything I just put 01.01.2000 because quite frankly websites have no business knowing my actual birthday.

I agree, however they also don't allow sideloading as far as I know. I think there's a distinction between policing whats on your store, and what users can install from anywhere.

Ah completely forgot about regenerative braking! I thought the main reason it needed changed was due to age and water absorbance rather than usage though, but again if regenerative brakes are used heavily then the regular brakes losing a little efficiency is a lot less of a deal.

Do electric cars not have brake fluid? Should that not be being changed soon in it if you've had it 5 years.

Guinness 0 is remarkably good I have to say.

In a lot of places the internet is there, but realistically the public transport never will be. It would cost so much to provide a service in every rural area that 3 people use that its totally infeasible. I think this is the situation where cars make sense, for people where public transport isn't a realistic option.

On flat ground, agreed. On a hill, my car just doesnt have the power to do that without some gas.

Because the manual transmission changes the entire experience of driving it, whereas a manual choke or ignition only changes starting it.

Some people (including myself) just find it more enjoyable to drive a manual. I feel more connected to the car, like its doing exactly what I want it to, and I feel like I've done something when I've driven home rev matching gears perfectly.

It's just about preference at the end of the day, but I do find manuals more fun.

I mean, I did ask for a wild guess.
