    £400 for a single tyre?! 
    The shop had big windows.



    Cos they him coming.
    Cos they him coming?  What on Earth does that mean?
    Its a joke. They see you coming, due in most part, to the big windows. Harry Enfield did a relatable sketch but it was antiquities rather than tyres he was flogging. Amusing either way.
    If you are going to use someone else's joke at least try and get it right.
    Its not some one else's joke, whos do you think it is?

    I see.  I guess you meant to say "Cos they SAW him coming"?  Makes more sense when you use the correct words in the correct order.
    Yet we still laugh at you. Funny innit?

    How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)

    The way you put it wasn't a joke at all.

    I'm thinking about one too. I test drove and found it a good ride, comfortable, and well equipped. A little expensive but I enjoy driving and work enough so that I can afford a nice motor. 
    The big drawback is that when I mentioned it to the lads at work they (and some of the girls too) absolutely rinsed me for thinking of buying a "hair dressers car" but someone who actually had one spoke highly of it and had no issues. 
    I think I'll go for it but might give it a few months and see if the predicated economic collapse results in some more favourable prices.

    Are you honestly suggesting I had 5 Range Rovers in 11 years because each one fell apart after two years and I had to go buy another one...?

    When I got my first one, I got lots of Victoria Beckham comments (I think she did the launch of the Evoque or something) but anyone who then sat in it would quickly change their opinion.

    She was involved in the design (probbably not that much, cant imagine McGovern gives much control away, otherwise there would be more variance in appearance)
