Re: Trump

Trumps problem is interceptors, or lack thereof. They literally can't keep intercepting all the cheap drones that Iran is capable of sending, so he needs an off-ramp to be able to say 'it's over, we won'.

Close enough - it’s Daytona Violet. E34 M5 vibes.
Good choice! Surprised you didn't go for the dark violet interior with that exterior colour.


Anyway, what other options did you spec? Wheels etc?

Re: M5 test drive report



Right. Because it's a lot smaller battery. I see.


The E-class is based on the previous generation platform, this 5-series was an entirely new platform for both ICE and EV so it’s not surprising it’s less compromised. The batteries arent just under the boot floor I think.



Whilst true, the ...

Re: Dogecoin etc

I hate trump and his market manipulation, but you need to zoom out a bit. The market had been falling since the open and had just consolidated at that level when trump spoke again. It was going down further regardless, mainly driven by FED comments the day before.

Re: M5 test drive report



Have you tried the E53 or are you discounting it because of the value?


I like them but the compromised boot and lack of deals mean it’s not really in the running.

Oh yes, RS5. Obviously it’s harder to get used to the name than I thought 😂

Doubt there will be £20k+ discounts on the LCI and ...

Re: Official Countach disagreement poll. No it isn't. Yes it is.



I haven't watched the video in question, but do we know how his Countach left the factory? Was it winged or wingless?


No Countach left the factory with a wing. Dealer fit parachute.

In it Pat has a modern van, a sidecar motorcycle, a jeep, a helicopter, and in the episode yesterday he was in a rocket. You know what the public service policeman drives in it? A 40+ year old ...

Rich is all kinds of correct with this one. Think about it - it's an 80's poster car, adorned to the wall and admired by everything from small boys to grown men alike. It absolutely needs the theatre of a stupid big rear wing, and let's not talk about the folly of comparing top speeds when we live ...
