This is the last I saw of it.

Got a full set of interior rubber mats and a set of immaculate 20" wheels with half worn Conti tyres left over.

The car is currently at Mannheim Auction centre and someone will be a very lucky new owner indeed.

hi Quacker, sorry to hear about your situation and you having to sell the car.

I am interested in the 20inch wheels if they are still for sale?

Yes. They have been in storage for over two years, thoroughly washed and dried with an aerosol protective coating applied to the unmarked alloy and a sheet over them to protect from light. Tyres are less than half worn by my estimate and only covered about 10,000 miles. The replacement wheels did 25,000 and went away with a good 15,000 left on them but I reckon that the Pirelli are harder wearing than the Conti-silent fitted to the wheels I have for sale.
£500 cash for all four on collection. £125 each is only a fraction of the price of new ones.
Nice day out for you to banish cabin fever. To tell you the truth I hadn't come round to thinking of selling them.

I drove to London to fetch the wheels that went with the car and carried them in the back with three of us as well.

Currently I use bluetooth to play spotify from my phone, and have done map updates via memory stick...

I averaged about 12,000 miles a year. No music streaming, only the apps that occasionally looked for features of interest and gave traffic information. Somehow used about 1GB a month. 200mb is not very much at all. You can get 1GB sim contracts for your phone with 500 minutes and texts for about £12 a month or so these days.

Interesting. I also average about 12k miles a year, and have the free 200Mb Three data SIM. No music streaming, but use for traffic alerts and apps like the weather one and glympse when travelling home etc, and only on the odd occasion have I run out of data, resulting in no connection (and even then just for a day or so).
I also make sure I update all my maps and apps on the drive via the Wifi at home

Is anyone else offering a deal similar to "Three"?

We both have Three on our phones (and a macro to switch it on when in the car) - and unlimited tethering is included - it's limited to 19Gb/month when abroad - but I would be interested in a similar deal with a different network - to ensure full coverage.

Slightly off topic but replying to a request to see my wheels. Here they are in all their glory…

Any marks on the alloys are superficial from me just cleaning the dust off the waxy protectant with a paper towel and smearing and will wipe off with a more thorough cleaning. I thought I'd wiped them more thoroughly but the camera lens is unforgiving, especially as I had to use the flash.

Any updates on this thread for good deal.

I've been hunting around but again have gone for a new Three SIM.

Got the 12GB one from Amazon for £27.99 (actually supplied by MyMemory)

I bought a 3 sim for the car but ended up putting in w mini dongle, even though the SIM card is active in the dongle can I take out of the dongle & transfer it to the car?

yes; you can swap it into the car modem. I have a mifi dongle to use in the caravan and swap the data sim to the car when not using it in the caravan.
