I think you need to be finding out from your neighbour the contact details for their builder! That’s outrageous! I’d be fuming if I came home to this.

“Nitrogen retailers - arseholes” Love that 🤣

What Car getting in on this too, today: https://www.whatcar.com/news/2020-skoda-kamiq-driven-price-specs-and-release-date/n19990

I can well believe that but I’ve never known them measure in a customer’s favour before

The other nonsense in that link is that there’s not necessarily any rhyme or reason as to which tyres your car comes with - same model and spec can come with lots of different tyres, potentially.

10.25 inches according to the brochure...

Yes and no. And not just Canon either. There are some very obvious differences in the hardware too e.g. full frame vs cropped sensors, plastic vs magnesium alloy body, but it’s sort of true that a significant part of the cost is to do with software. Better software generally involves better algorithms (certainly in terms of digital image coding, processing and compression) and the better an algorithm is the more expensive it is, which you obviously pass on to the consumer as a manufacturer. Car manufacturers have been doing it for years too, that’s how the same physical engine can output multiple different BHP and torque. It made me laugh when people got outraged the other year when Tesla enabled an over air software update to temporarily increase range of US cars to help owners fleeing a hurricane and were saying “I want this all the time if my car can do it” 🙄

There’ll be a nice looking demonstrator at a dealers soon then - which dealer is it going to? Incidentally mine took 16 days from stage 5a to my door. So could be as little as 52 weeks

Not fitted in an Octy I’m afraid so can’t be certain but in 3 different cars (C4 Cactus, Qashqai, Arteon) I’ve had no issues placing it. It’s gone to the left side of the mirror, partly behind the mirror, in each car without any issues or interference with anything (visors, auto dimming mirror). Also found that the suction mount does the job well, too, and avoids having to use the sticky 3M pads on your windscreen.

Very happy with my Nextbase 522gw. I think it’s a great piece of kit for the money and a big step up from the 512gw (I own both, the 512 is now in the wife’s car and 522 is in mine). Can get the front and rear cameras fitted from Halfords for £203 all in at the moment, plus a micro SD card but they are much cheaper from amazon than Halfords. Front camera alone is £119. The picture quality is very good, the app is easy to use and view/share videos from and the features on the camera are great. Not bothered with any of the Alexa stuff, personally.

Currently away with our dog for first time in the new car. Have found the seat we bought to be very good, one like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B075D7RHHH/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_y1OuDbN4A07NE Keeps the dog contained and the seat cleaned. Have found there is space for that, our daughter and one of the grandparents on the back row without being too squashed (9 year old and 71 year old) so as long as your kids aren’t both big teenagers should be fine.

Great specced car for that price, very impressive.

No, not a perk I have in my job sadly, just a very good lease deal.

Seems like yet another SUV, like all the others on the roads... Looks a good spec though, better than the Kodiaq spec to my eyes. Personally I’d recommend an Arteon but I am very biased

If it’s anything like the VW We Connect you can do the verification directly through the app through a video chat. I had it shown my driving license which they took a photo of (through the app) and answer a couple questions. Only took a couple of minutes.
