The FT1s are amazing quality and value - generally, depending on my ears behaving and my mood, I prefer the FT1 over the Edition XS and FT5 - especially as I got mine for the princely sum of £95 when they were on offer and also had a credit on my Richer Sounds account for a delivery **** up.

Same here - not going EV anytime soon. That's very tidy looking - I take it that's the 2018 one? It looks like you have the Honda Robot sitting in the passenger seat? Or is that just the headrest a bit far forward? 🤖

I assume you weren't wearing them at the time?

Yes, I think a lot of the Chinese stuff has made huge strides in quality of materials and manufacture over the last decade or so and as you say, with an awful lot of boxes marked "Designed in the UK/Grmany etc." with the inference that it was actually made elsewhere! :laughing: Of course there...

Ah well, it's that last 2 metres connecting to your gear that has the magical properties :D :cool:

Trouble is if one or two manufacturers are doing it likely the others will catch on? "Oh, you actually want the wheels to turn sir - that's an option, £10 a month sir"

That is a good looking bike - futuristic but not too way out! What capacity is it? I assume it is water cooled in spite of the finning on the cylinders and heads? Edit: forget the questions - I just Google it - very nice!

The clue is in the thread title which I believe includes the word "CABLE" so easily not followed is it not?

Yes, they might well survive - not too suitable for an everyday driver though and probably no cruise control for trips on the M5?

Possibly, but from some of the comparisons I have seen then the attraction will be lower price, more gadgets included as standard and longer warranties so they will likely sell in todays market? Why would you buy a 50k+ BMW or MB when you can get the same sort of vehicle for 35 - 40k as long as...

Well, they may beg to differ but some are already struggling with sales?

That is plain ugly! Expect to see many more of them and similar Chinese offerings on the road in the near future though. Looking back in time we had the Japanese influx of vehicles and more recently the South Korean ones with an even bigger share of the market but the Chinese imports will be...

No, I can't say we have - maybe have a look at those. Thanks for the tip

Yes it's funny when they send my stuff they seem to alternate between yodel (yuk) or Evri, which I think is Hermes? Occasionally I even get RM which is normally OK although with them it seems to disappear for a few days on the tracking then suddenly postie is at the door!

I have not tried Vision Express but I have on a couple of occasions tried to break out of the Specsavers loop without much success. I tried an apparently reputable "high class" opticians in a town near me a few years back. The prices were also "high class" as well! I had already been using...
