    dash-cam: worth it?

    I'm pretty sure we've covered this topic before, but I couldn't find the thread(s). What are the forum's views on dash-cams? Useful, pita. self-incriminating, sent by God to make the world a better place? Or something else? My car is having some other stuff done and the fitter suggested I think...

    Camera / photography question

    I'm pretty certain there's been a thread before but I can't for the life of me find it. Anyway, a question for your happy snappers out there (at the very least @highlander and @CatmanV2): is there any sane reason to opt for a 62MP camera vs 33MP? I'm looking at the new Sony A7Cii or R and as...

    Using Collecting Cars to sell a license plate

    As per the title, has anyone using them to sell a plate? I've asked them to see what they'd get for mine. AM12 NUT, if anyone's interested. Would suit enthusiasts of 12-cylinder Aston Martins. I've got something else on retention so just want rid of the old plate.

    Periodic battery replacement

    We all know that batteries die and need replacing, but what's the general view on doing the latter before the former has left you stranded? Mine is 7 years old, still seems to do the necessary but won't last forever. Worth investing in a replacement?

    insurance renewal - WTF

    These are troubling times. Admiral sent my annual renewal notice, so I limbered up, ready for a scrap about why they are a bunch of swine and 50 reasons why I shall be taking my business elsewhere. Imagine my disappointment that the premium has only gone up by £14. Hardly worth a phone call...
