  1. Haha was a bit Tory wasn’t it but we all know the types who make the waitress get the calculator out.

  3. Yes I know what you mean... That said, a good friend whose hobby is arranging social gatherings of friends & acquaintances told me that she always makes a point of telling people that there will be no bill splitting at her nights out. She says its because the broke ones, the veggies, dieters & people that don't drink -are way more likely to turn up. I suppose the tightwads are too.

    I've quite a few mates that can't/won't cough up for expensive meals and wine. I like to see them too.

  6. I got stuck yesterday at a constant 20 mph behind someone towing a horse box with a Tesla. It seemed a weird combination. I couldn't see the driver but I assumed (I don't know why - well, I do but that's a whole other thread) that it was a woman.

  7. I was surprised to learn a Model X could tow 2250kg. Thought the chassis was a bit iffy for towing. Bet it doesn't go too far though
     
  8. I think some of them can pull up to 3500. In theory an electirc car should be a good towing vehicle. No clutch to burn out and loads of smooth low down torque. But it certainly wouldn't be my first choice. I wouldn't trust the structure or build quality of any electric car. Too much of an unknown quanity right now. And if you do break one it's likely to be catastrophic and terminal.
    If she'd tried to tow her horsebox into a field it would have been entertaining to watch.
     
  9. Getting really short notice of family coming over to stay for the weekend which then turns out to be five days!
    On reflection I think it isn’t really all that disproportionate!
