Re: Worst case of 40mph everywhere folk
Ignoring the obvious question of how someone so stupid can afford a Tesla, any car manufacturer calling any in-car function an 'Autopilot' is asking for trouble frankly. Point is though that they describe it as a suite of assistance systems. Full autopilot isn't ready yet, and won't be for a while ...

Re: Parking fine advice please.
Which goes back to my point. If it's a private road, where's the 'broken contract'? IANAL but I'd fight this one.

Re: Footpump recommendation?
I feel your pain. I went through a few before I settled on this Heyner. It's the only one that's actually lasted and not bent from use. Also picked up one of these to keep the gauge honest, although the one on the pump is pretty good to be fair. The bag the pump comes with is lined with velcro on a ...

Re: Parking fine advice please.
IANAL But I don't see on Google Streetview any signage about the 'contract'' that is broken when parking on the double yellow and what the penalty is. I'd be inclined to head over to Pepipoo and ask their opinion on it all...

Re: Teh Spotted Thread
Was behind a rather lovely blue T350t on the way through Reigate this evening. A pretty rare spot for me - Reg W7 TVR.
Then coming the other way was a W8 Passat estate. Black with tints. Howmanyleft has only 140 combined normal and tiptronic models left, including those on SORN.

Re: Hybrid batteries
As ever this surely comes down to what kind of journeys you normally do? If you live within 30 miles of your office and can charge there, I expect the minimal use of the petrol engine will deliver benefits. If you were going 70-80 miles each way then just buy the diseasal. I can't imagine evo drove ...

Re: EOTR - Evo Magazine
I must've cancelled my sub 8 or 9 years ago, after starting at issue 5. Early evo seemed to be fixated on the Impreza. Evo when I cancelled was all about the 911. All the road tests seemed to be about exotica and the fast fleet was the same. It just seemed irrelevant to me. At least early FF had som...

Really? Stuck in traffic I don't think it matters if you've got a twin turbo v6 does it?

Re: Hybrid batteries
Seriously this is some dull shit. What’s the point of buying something with (faux) sporty credentials to use it like an electrical appliance? Because most driving is dull shit, and these sorts of cars are very good at that stuff. And if they hasten the death of diesels that can only be a good thing...

Re: MMR Vaccination
Aren't the anti-vaccination brigade swivel-eyed retards or is this an actual thing? It turns out the Dr who wrote the paper linking MMR to Autism was given a bung of something like £500k and eventually struck off the general medical register :roll: Dr who isn’t real Carlos... That's because since h...

Re: What am I missing? £20k ish choice
Yes. I'll revisit Audi and VW and it looks like I was wrong about the Arteon. It's shaped like a saloon but does actually have a hatch. So that's possible now too!

Re: What am I missing? £20k ish choice
OK I'm gonna try and draw this to a close. Look, this isn't a moon on a stick, or a diesel golf situation. 1) I mentioned the 'C63 for a year' because I recognise that they're more expensive to run (duh!), but thought it might be fun to swallow that cost for a year and have a 'blowout' doing so, bef...

Re: What am I missing? £20k ish choice
Driven no, but everything I read about all 4-matic cars, (so GLC, C43, E43, E63 etc) and the videos I've seen show the issue. It's not just about the skipping (which can only be 'mitigated by AW tyres) but the associated accelerated tyre wear. Merc themselves released a statement saying that because...
