Re: The Southern Softies group meet ups

I'm out most Sundays for breakfast somewhere (Chalet Cafe - Cowfold), Whiteways, Rykas....

Shoreham Airport does a good breakfast and there's plenty of parking there. How about a Southern Softies meet up there?

Re: Insurance (again)

My RT Insurance went up from £105 to £115. I didn't even bother looking around - just renewed it. My Tesla model Y went up from £840 to £1,496 with no claims or convictions in the last 24 years!

Re: Battery Life

It depends how you treat it.

Re: Heated Items

I recently fitted one of these to my Deauville, On full power, it gets SO hot, I had to turn it down. It wires straight to the battery and an ignition live (to stop you leaving it on by mistake). Velcro attachment to your seat and a quick disconnect, waterproof plug. For just over £20, it's a superb...
