As ludicrous as that is, with the silliest acceleration videos outside of a proper drag car, after a week it would just gather dust.

It’s like a university study of what’s achievable with 4 wheels but a Street eliminator car does it in a much more exciting way.

Dave!

Hold on there, they say they are genuine.

Probably cheaper than a painter and decorator.

What are your rates ?

Dave!

The pedal stop adjuster once jammed into my Halfords floor mats.

Luckily with 110hp, 2.5 tons and the performance on offer. I had time to finish my sandwich before anything exciting was going to happen.

Dave!

A Montego TD can do 100mpg, not turning the engine on doesn’t count.

Dave!

I say give everyone what they want and let the 5% provide all

I don’t think people are dicks, some I wouldn’t share my chips with though.

Dave!

It was kind of to both of you. I’m not sure how you’ve concluded that clearly any rule changes will favour workers though. I’ve seen it from both sides….. I grew up surrounded by the work shy, always with a scam and wondering why my parents didn’t have anything more but were always working. I also ...

What are the incentives for EVs? If it is like in Norway that's surprising. But, the area in scope (for now) it is easily avoided. A few years ago a low spec 520D was more expensive than a top of the range Model S. Plus ferry travel was free, no payment into cities, free parking etc. This nearly wr...

After growing up in a council house in a 100% council area I would say at the very least 50% of the workshy were faking it or at the very least playing the system.

The sooner this happens the better.

How you would go about doing it fairly though will be one hell of a job.

Dave!

Normally not a fan of red but that makes it look even more special. The opposite of Ferraris which always look more special when they aren’t red.

Dave!

Even though it doesn’t really make much difference at all addresses I think mine is 1 of about 30 possible houses. If theirs is similar I can see why people are a bit weary. I’ve spoken to a couple of friends who have had some very dodgy buyers of cars and quite intimidating characters trying to sca...

That will be a cracking place to be on long journeys

Dave!

Gus O’Connors pub in Doolin in Clare serves the best pint of Guinness in the world. And that’s a confirmed fact No, an Irish pub in Kampala Uganda did the best pint of Guiness as it sits in the barrels longer when sailing over and warms up while travelling. Also, an Irish pub in Ghana said the same...

I think they have a flash point that is quite low so would probably be a big fire risk.

Dave!

It will probably be a mechanical seal, we have them on all our water pumps, oil pumps etc and they work great. The issue is the damage caused and the heat cycles things go through. I know they say electric is great, no need to warm through etc but that is such utter bullshit. They don’t change the l...

I was a member of The Classic Car Club. I hired the following, no mileage limits and I did the most in the 360. Maserati Quattroporte - loved this but it broke down. Ferrari 360 - Lived this more, exploitable and fun, got engaged in it. Karmann Ghia - yeah, looks pretty, dog shit to drive above 30mp...

It depends how they fail, the brother in laws 330 Cab was perfect till he removed the under seal, then he saw the crack. Whether it really gets bad enough to be felt is another matter. Do they crack with use, age, hitting a kerb too many times etc. Like all things internet , no-one joins a forum to ...

It’s similar to that 1,200,000 mile Model S. It took 4 batteries and 14 motors to get there, pathetic. Prices will come down but when assemblies with minimal parts are used the failure mode is pretty severe. I wonder if parts prices will be kept high due to less consumables and less servicing ? Dave!

That was our family holiday last year, drove overnight to a place just a few minutes bus ride from Venice, a day in Venice, next day drove to Bellagio (stunning) then stayed there 2 days, down into Switzerland, across to Luxembourg etc. Absolutely fantastic and great memories. If you’ve not done Ven...

When in Perth we always go to The Island and I love the red ale.

Then to the Reveley for some Little Creatures Pale Ale.

At home it’s nearly always just Doom Bar as it goes down so well and I never feel bad on it.

Dave!

Volvo S90 if he can cope with a 4-cylinder engine. 730d isn’t too ugly if you go for the pre-facelift version before the gopping grille was added. 6-series Gran Coupe? For mile munching only the Volvo of the above will come with active cruise/lane assist which makes a massive difference to the driv...
