      Hi thanks for watching. Some parts are ok, but the main road down to the hotel and pool is very steep, no way you could get up there with just front wheel drive, my wife had to push and she was exhausted by the time we got to the top. I’ve since got the Triride MTW which is two electric rear wheels and adapted so that you can have a 3 x 3, that can cope with the deep hills. I haven’t made a video of that yet, but will do in the next few weeks.

      At the end of the day it's only you that's on the motability scheme, and all the lower end cars have five seats and a boot , the scheme is there to help you get about. And That's that 👍. If you want extras or a bigger car then you pay the extra money, a five seater car will be fine for most disabled people, and all adaptions are free. So I can't really see your point.

    • @orthodoxblue7252

      @@Paul-ey1ct I’ve been using the scheme for 30yrs+. All I’m saying is that it wasn’t too long ago when you had your pick of whatever car (virtual) you wanted and the deposits were never more than £100. This past 2 years you can’t touch most good cars for less than £1000, and that’s even cheap in their eyes. As we all are, I am entitled to give my opinion about what I think.

      In the UK, if you have a permanent disability you may qualify for Disabled Living Allowance. This financial monthly support payment can be used to pay for a Motabilty car lease. It is a charity that was set up in 1977, They lease company is contacted and leases about 750,000 cars. The cars are 0% vat so 20% cheaper, plus insurance and servicing are included. It’s a wonderful scheme.

    Such a fantastic video as always. It was lovely to see you both again and I'm so happy your car is running well. I missed so many cars on the day because my mobility scooter was playing up where the gravel was deep. I pootled along on the grass edge up so far as the lake and didn't realise more cars were the other side of the hedge. I thought that area was for caravans and motorhomes. Thankfully I saw many on the A17 before the show.

    Congratulations Roger. My Mini dealer up here in Stirling had a huge delivery of their entire allocation of 2024 Convertibles in March - they still have a few left including the BEV convertible that arrived in early 23 unsold……… I took delivery of a BEV Countrymen S E Sport L3 on 9th April and loving it. Will be taking my first EV road trip to Harrogate from Stirling in it next week - Plan A reckons I need 1 charge stop on the way south, a top up before leaving Harrogate to come home and another stop somewhere on the way home. If I had done it last year in the Cooper S E would have been 3 charges each way so I went by diesel power in the `defender instead iwith zero fuel stops.

Took 3 weeks from order to delivery, they came and fitted a wall charger free of charge before it arrived. On the day my wife was unwell and they were happy for me to collect it and take an e signature from Tina. Almost seems wrong to be given the keys to a £43'000 car and we only paid a £1'500 excess (dead money, but its our first and I work,so why not). 428 miles in so far and it wonderfull.

    To be honest I thought you got great service from the gent that came out, he really tried to assist you. That BP station is crazy understaffed. He had obviously not done it before, had no training whatsoever and managed to wing it. This is Great Britain, that's what we are currently going through, as a business owner myself it's really difficult. If you had to sit in your car for a few minutes for someone to come to you, happy days, people are ringing for ambulances and waiting for hours instead of minutes. I agree apps feel very remote and disconnected from the real world, but staff don't have time to answer phones in a petrol station, they click a button and come to you. Looks a great charging place, in a particularly bad area for getting reliable charging. Well done MFG.

      I wasn’t complaining about the staff? You completely miss the point. I don’t want help, I want to charge my car myself! There is a design specification, to build disabled accessible public chargers, BSI pas1899. MFG do not follow the standard and are in breach of the Equalities Act 2010 as a result. They are a huge company and could build access but they don’t, because it’s cheaper to use slave labour and apps, in an attempt to get around the regulations.

      @@ctsljBut the Japanese weren't previously known for selling rubbish, even though their motorbikes were nicknamed "Jap crap", that was just snobbery from those on British bikes like Norton and Triumph etc... Chinese are known for selling things which break into pieces and electric cars which lock people in, or burst into flames. I absolutely love the beastly style of this MG. It looks good from every angle. Is it a rag top or a retractable hard top? If it were a rag top I would carry a fire extinguisher and a blade to slash the roof in an emergency but if it were a hard top, I'd avoid it completely

      2-3 years ago there were a lot of free public chargers, made owning an EV a sensible choice, but now very hard to find free charging, and electricity prices have risen a great deal. Some companies are gouging because they no EV drivers don’t have a choice.

      Yes. They actually phoned me while I was wheeling around the Cathedral. I asked how did you get my number, they use some special legal powers! I went directly to the car where the traffic warden was standing waiting for me, he looked surprised to see me in a wheelchair. He said the tickets been issued so can’t be cancelled by him, but I could appeal, which I did and although they never replied in person, I didn’t pay the ticket and no further action was taken.

    160,000 miles as "high mileage" is something I'm still not used to, even after years of working on and driving Minis myself. My old pushrod V8 Suburban work truck has 287,000 miles on it and I have no intention of ever getting rid of it. Dohc with direct injection in a small displacement engine revving to infinity is pretty standard anymore though so you just aren't going to get a million miles on them I guess.

    • @warnerswheelingabout4879
      @warnerswheelingabout4879 4 місяці тому

      I’m on 165,000 now which is a lot for one of these little engines, especially with a turbo. Still flies along and 40 mpg as well.

    I'm sorry you got injured and am glad you are feeling better. I'm very surprised the seats weren't comfier in the BMW, you'd really expect them to be blissfully comfortable in a 'grand touring' car and it looked so nice. For a few years now, I've not been too keen on BMW's all looking so very similar and I've never seen a GT on the road, but seeing your video, I thought yours was lovely. As for the Porsche Panamera, Latt is so tiny in it. Is she enjoying driving it? The convertible Mini always seemed to suit her so well. Did Flame get to its new home without any incidents along the way? One thing I want to ask about the Panamera, is regarding the boot lid opening space. The lip looks to be very high and therefore I'd imagine Latt would struggle lifting stuff up and over it. I know she has big muscles 💪🏻 but surely her petite stature would make it difficult, that is if I was seeing it correctly in that the boot floor is lower than the opening is. I have acquired some new wheels today, nothing like you but I picked up an immaculate 2nd hand Mobility Scooter which can fit lengthways in the Mini boot with the rear seats down. Theres not much space for anything else but I now have a roof rack and am looking out for a reasonably priced roof box. It should be much easier when out with my oldest son with his Ankylosing Spondylitis as he suffers terrible pain pushing me in my wheelchair. Having this new shopper type scooter has other advantages. I have that big, bouncy super Green Power scooter but it has to go in a trailer BUT tow bars are unable to be fitted on the Mini SE so I have to tow it behind my Mini Convertible. I had a shopper scooter before but sold it and then regretted it afterwards. No more regrets though as this new one feels so much better built. Looking forward to seeing you on the 14th April in Lincoln 👍🏼 Hopefully we can meet up and head into town together. I need to find a suitable place so if you know of anywhere, please let me know. I don't know Lincoln very well at all. Byee for now 👋🏻 Gena x

      Hi Gena, great to hear from you, the BMW was lovely and I highly recommend them, but always wanted a Porsche and so had to do a trade. We still have the Mini Clubman Latts run about, I’m still spending fortunes to keep it going, it’s like saving money in a Russian bank account, so we will be at Bradford Wharf in April. She enjoys the Porsche but it’s very wide and can be tight in small country lanes. It’s very low, so easier than loading an SUV, the sloping back can be a challenge. I’ll be in touch about meeting up in Lincoln can’t wait to see what you’ve done with your SE and the new EV in the boot lol

    I see you have some powered back wheels, I ordered some in November last year but cancelled them late December when I discovered the wheels couldn't be removed, looks like you are managing to get them in the car though.

    Congratulations on your new ride. Hope you enjoy many happy miles with it. I would love a Taycan Cross Tourismo but when you see what dealers are offering sellers for part exchanged ones then you see what they are asking for an approved used one then Porsche is basically ripping off the seller/ 1st owner AND the potential buyer. My Mini still has 18 months to run on its PCP and I won’t be replacing it with the new model, for the 1st 3 years production will be by Great Wall Motors in China and I don’t think it’s right that a British Icon should be built in China and sold here with a huge price tag - when in China it will be available at a way lower price. Not sure what replace it with yet but a Fisker Ocean Sport is already on the short list and if I also sell the 2023 Defender in 2025 I hope that I can afford the Ocean Extreme with the off-road pack, I doubt I’ll be able to afford a used Cross Tourismo with sensible miles and some warranty though! PS if you are coming as far north as the Stirling area drop me a message on FB .
