Oil and filter and pollen filter changed this evening, total cost £60, and that was using Mobil 1 oil.
Audi wanted £200 which is fair enough given their overheads.
Hang on though, it only took an hour and a bit so that’s a pretty good hourly rate

Chatting with a customer's neighbour this morning, who has just taken delivery of a new Audi Q3 (folk love to talk about their new cars, I'm told) and I asked him about the engine badge on the rear: "4.0 TFSI, blimey that's a big engine, I bet it's a bit rapid". He told me it makes 190bhp and is actually 2 litre. He said something about them preparing for electric/hybrid engines, but my eyes were staring to glaze over, as his tech talk wasn't nearly as interesting as his car, and I have a really short attention span when mealtimes are approaching.
Does this misleading engine badge make sense to anyone?

I wouldn't buy a car that carries no spare wheel.
My brother had a new Q5 briefly. A burst tyre in rural France left him stranded for ages. The puncture repair 'goo' and air pump supplied were useless. He sold the car in disgust!

No, it doesn’t. The 50 TDI is a 3 litre! Worst marketing decision since they changed Coco Pops to Choco Crispies.
Of course neither of these are as bad as what they’ve done to the taste of them.

The new Q3 is rather nice, not giving them away though.

Well the Q5 didn't. Mind you, it had huge alloys, so maybe a spare wasn't available on that spec car.Our Q3 has a space saver, jack and brace

A friend of my brother's bought a Bentley Continental GT a few years ago, and it cost him about 150 grand. One day he got a flat tyre, and was unable to find the spare wheel. So he phoned Bentley Service, enquiring as to its whereabouts, and after many audible clicks on a keyboard, the nice lady informed him that he'd not chosen the £3,000 spare wheel option.
This was a shrewd, canny Scottish owner of a multi million pound company employing about a hundred people. Surprising really that he was happy to face the ridicule he rightly received.

Mine I think has a bottle of spray. Not sure. I will be phoning this the breakdown Co anyway. As I couldn't change one if it had it
They are 18 inch alloys so no chance

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
