    I've got the Corolla self-charging hybrid. 1.8 petrol but anything up to about 25mph and it runs on electric. Also, running down the motorway it keep switching the engine off and using the EM too. No need to charge it so seems like the best of both worlds. Would love to go full electric sometime soon though.

    You can run the motor up to 80 mph, but is subject to effort and charge. Charge isn't normally an issue, it's inclines. The previous generation was only 47 mph.

    Don't know if you have noticed it, but there's a display on your instrument cluster which shows a power bar. The power bar in "Eco" has a line half way across it. The bar raises the more you put your foot on the throttle pedal. Keep it below the half way line in Eco and it can work quite well off the motor.

    Not sure if you're aware ??

  2. Kia EV6 and Polestar 2 worth a mention of you want higher mileage capacity.

    Otherwise if you're not wanting to charge, then go with Toyota or Lexus. Toyota offer a good balance between fun to drive and fuel economy.

    I have a 2L Corolla and it is far superior to the 1.8L Auris I had before in many ways. Also, is has the next generation of Toyota's amazing hybrid technology.

    Mental that he’s not an automatic starter for us, or at least hasn’t been until very recently.

    I think Nigel Pearson and his team have managed him exceptionally well this season.

  4. To be fair, Pearson could've moved the players around to put him on the left, but I think there was good reason not to.

    Dasilva won't offer anything near the same on the right, but I think Pearson put him there to test his application and attitude more than anything else. And he was excellent in doing what was required.

    As mentioned, Pearson clearly appreciated his contribution which was great to see.

    This manager is getting his message accross to the squad. His interviews are consistent in what he requires.

    You can be a Bakinson or a Dasilva ?⚪

    Went to Pasture a couple of times after it opened whilst it was still the new kid on the block & must say each time was outstanding. Haven't been for a couple of years but it'll be a shame if they've let standards slip. 

    Been to Pasture at least 10-15 times and it is always exceptional. This includes Sunday lunch.

    Not the cheapest, but I have no issue with paying for top quality food and drinks.

    It's not uncommon to have to wait months for a peak time/day slot.

    A couple of things to consider if not seen. Namely the Wages to Turnover and Owner Financing. More so, the fact that other clubs around Bristol City are in the shitter.

    Furthermore from this. Here's the breakdown:

    I can’t be the only one slightly worried that one day one of these idiots is going to run on the pitch with the intent of doing either a player or one of the officials some serious harm, instead of just running about like a prat. 

    We have to open our coats/jackets these days when entering the grounds of the stadium. For that reason, safety is guaranteed ?

    Obvs ??‍♂️

    In fairness if you’ve not bought any food inside for years, you’re probably out of touch with some of the excellent food they have sold over the past few seasons.  Pies aren't as nice this year admittedly, but until this season definitely not poor value for money / overpriced imho.

    There has been some decent outlets. I used to love the Mexican burritos which had part of a kiosk in the Lansdown concourse.

    And the Spanish van outside the Lansdown which is ran by two brothers.

    Then the Jamaican on the South Stand corner where you could get Red Stripe and some good food.

  9. Don't think it has been mentioned in this thread, but Geifer was signed up as he was such a highly rated goalkeeper BUT he had a clean tear in a leg muscle meaning he couldn't kick a football anymore to say the least. It probably affected his agility/mobility too.

    He was practically re-training himself as there was no full recovery.

    Didn't work out for him and the injury has set him back further, dropping to the lower leagues in Germany.
