So, you know, there's that.
It’s also incorrect.. Turbo S is (US method) 2.2 seconds

Re: For the FTAO of JL

Kind of related.. Edward Lovett on Collecting Cars podcast was stopped by police recently as he didn’t have a front number plate on. The police told him he better hope this is the first time he’s been stopped as for a second offence the dvla will now reclaim your (typically private and bought a big ...

Re: Cayman/Boxter RIP.

In related news the Fiat 500 has been killed off due the same cyber vulnerabilities.. but don’t despair! Fiat is now going to put a petrol engine in the 500e which is typical leftfield Italian thinking 👌😎

Re: Apple Vision Pro

They were pushing these quite hard in an Apple Store in the US. I asked if there were any games out for it yet and they said no, just productivity apps.. think that’s the first time they’ve had to push selling a new Apple product

How many gallons of oil did your car use? 😁 Still a good looking car, shame Jag have lost their way

Re: BBQs

I’m in the market for a decent quality Charcoal BBQ but the choices are really limited. There are the ceramic types, well north of a grand and you’ve got your Webber’s (but I already have one of those) An absolute must have feature is a coal rack or a cooking rack that’s height adjustable but as I ...

Re: Your fleet running reports

Just passed 10k in the Kuga, averaged 81.7 MPG overall since I've had it, no creaks, rattles or issues, it's been a superb car, I'd certainly recommend one as a family car. Massive boot, loads of space in the car, great seats, stereo, and it even manages to be quite fun to drive. If I ordered again...

Re: Test drive report

I don’t want to type a TL:DR on my phone but we test drove a VW ID Buzz today and it was fabulous. But it doesn’t fit under the arch to our drive. That’s the very nice salesman doing the reflectoporn. I’ll write a bit more about it when I’m less cream-crackered. But I loved it. I'm confused - isn't...

Re: Test drive report

Agree with RichB; it’s good someone is not just making an SUV etc.. Subjectively, it is a good looking car, and I hope they go for wafting GT as opposed to max attack road legal race car, and the doors opening that way work much better with our stupid parking bay sizes(but let’s not go there again!)...

Re: Test drive report

Sat in a dark red 1st Edition yesterday and it is very nice although seats were a bit flat and there’s a weird bolt/hole on the front of the gearstick that I would find annoying.. maybe a quick fix though. Handily there was a row of Aston, Porsche, Lotus (and Auto vivendi).. so went straight from th...

Re: Test drive report

@Jobbo are you going to try the Emira i4? Think it would be an interesting comparison No, really not interested in that version. It feels like the basis for a future hybrid version while the V6 makes a nice noise and has a lovely supercharger whine/howl when you clog it. Furry muff.. I’m an old f*v...
