Bloody BMW decided to put an intelligent battery sensor in the E60.

Re: Trump

I still don't understand why the Americans aren't rioting in the street at this point. If crazy gas prices and mocking the church isn't pushing them over the edge....what will? Aren't they both sacrilegious?

The car already had a system that apparently was like straight pipes ...

I mean, it's a start - but I'd rather a full targa top.

I've still absolutely no idea why we never saw an Evora (or yet an Emira) with a removable roof.

Re: EV Thread

Anyone charge from a 3-pin?

I'm still hovvering over a Honda E for the short hack around town, and was planning to 3-pin charge as it'll be more than enough overnight for a 20-mile round trip. That being said, someone on Reddit has his 3-pin plug burnout and lots of "electrical engineers" are ...

Re: Your fleet running reports

I expected CSL dampers to be mega £££ - as mentioned, CSL tax and all but they're suprisingly reasonable.

On the road soon* - hopefully more than 90miles between the previous MOT's ;)

Apprently it's much, much better than it used to be. Previously you just had to go in front of the other crew and "catch" any errant...fluids.
