Re: Choose

Which one is quietest & comfortablest ? I'm not going to do 2000 miles of fun driving per year so I'll have to regard most of it as work and I want it to be as painless as possible. Do Singer do modern Porsches ? The aircooled ones are tiny (and feel like a Beetle) so they're a non-starter for n...

Re: Your fleet running reports

Hmm. It works well enough in steady traffic especially roadworks but more open motorway I think I’d prefer “dumb” cruise tbh. It actually encourages you to hog the middle or outside lane so that you avoid the trucks.

Re: Today’s want

Yes. So their example would have been better if it was 7th -> 3rd. That’s definitely a difficult shift for the DCT. Actually, I wonder how that would work. Would it pop it into neutral to do the shift or does it somehow need to engage the other shaft, and thus forced to go via either 6th or 4th. Hmm...

Re: Your fleet running reports

It's an SDV8. Not sure if they came in different levels of tune. All 334 bhp by the looks of it There was a boost to the torque & an updated torque converter in 2015. The various car spec websites seem very hit & miss which figure they quote but there’s a few articles that describe it: http...

Re: Today’s want

In addition, DCT’s only work in single-gear intervals. From 7th gear to 6th, to 5th, to 4th, for example. If the driver is in 7th gear and wants 4th for maximum power, the DCT cannot pre-select 4th gear directly. The driver has to pass through 6th and 5th gears, wasting time and power. Is that stri...

Re: Bye Bye Sunak..

Fully selfishly, and on the assumption that we're going to get a Labour government, I'd like to know their plans for funding Defence. Not the headline hand waving soundbite stuff, but whether the £2bn programme I'm working on is going to get instantly canned :lol:

Re: The ebay thread

Oh look, my favourite dodgily-named luxury car dealer has a a Range Rover ! If it wasn't for the "rare" interior colour (their description not mine), and the fact I've just bought one, I'd be checking it out. Description says black but the photos look like a dark purple - I like it. https:...

Re: Bye Bye Sunak..

I’m probably not going to bother voting. I’m not going to pretend I’m happy with the way things have been going, but I’m not sure labour would have done much better or will do in the future. Vote Lib Dem. If it’s enough to stop either of the others getting a majority it’ll be a good thing. We all k...

Brocco himself has a whole fleet of interesting cars thanks to the fortune he's made in crypto. But he won't talk about them. So modest. We need to search the internet and find out for ourselves.
