So many Defenders round here and disappointingly they all seem to be black on black on black.

Re: Ferrari Luce Reveal

How much of the exterior design of EVs (variations on a bar of soap) is down to the aero requirements needed to make this thing that weighs so much but needs to get x number of miles from the batteries?

Re: The House Projects Thread

After what seems like forever, our building warrant has finally been issued.

First step, asbestos roof sheets to come off and then we can crack on.

I think the aim will be to get the extension wind and watertight before late Autumn meaning the interior can be done in stages when the guys are free.

Re: Ferrari Luce Reveal

The rage about this from Ferrari fans is pretty funny though. Loads of it directed at the design team, as if they think nobody internally at Ferrari signs off on these things at different stages.

And a lot of the "fixed it" renders seem to ignore the fact that presumably there's a lot of design ...

The whole thing is like a comedy sketch, I thought the pics floating around of the pope being shown around the Luce were AI but they’re real :lol:

Re: Ferrari Luce Reveal


The interior is nice enough, I'd be happy with that in a £80,000 car, and that's the problem with that too.
I reckon it'll be forced through purely to reduce co2 fleet emissions, want a combustion engine Ferrari? Well you'll have to buy this EV.


I bet the interior components feel way better ...

Re: Ferrari Luce Reveal

Looks like other motoring journos have now posted their ones, for some reason it was MKBHD's which was front and centre.

I really like the interior, especially the materials used, but that's no surprise given it was Jony Ive. I know we've seen components of this before, but I think it's a great use ...

Re: EV's with stoopid big bhp numbers


I fail to see the point of chasing the bigger numbers. I'd be more impressed if they focused on improving the range/efficiency and made a fuss about that.


This is where I'm at. Seems to be very little in the way of new thinking, just "chuck a bigger battery in it".

Not sure which option that ...

Re: Which M3?

I think I've driven a variant of all of those and owned a few of them, so if we're talking bog standard editions, probably an E46.

Re: Forza Horizon 6

I'd totally forgotten this was coming out, having not had any time for gaming recently but my YouTube feed was flooded with videos over the last few days saying how amazing it was and it does look pretty amazing.

Not sure anything will top Project Gotham, but I can see me ordering this today.

Re: Wheelie Bins

We've not got a bin store yet so I just put the bin out and then once the bin lorry has driven past, I know its emptied.

Only difference is at Christmas when I put the bin out and also a couple of boxes of celebrations or something on top. Merry Christmas everyone!
