Re: Teh Spotted Thread
Will it get away with those arches for the road? They barely cover the wheels. No need to worry, it will not be an issue. It's a wildly ambitious concept car that will never go into production cf: the new Griffith etc. Sniff Petrol August 2006: https://sniffpetrol.com/archive/BritSupercarForm.gif h...

Re: Your fleet running reports
Having said all that, I do find myself drawn to wanting a tracker. Something like this looks reasonable - £60 for the unit then £60/year subscription.

Re: Your fleet running reports
I probably wouldn’t want the car back, it just wouldn’t be the same. However I’d like the people caught. Probably wouldn’t pay £260 a year for a miniscule chance of that happening though 😂 I never really understood this concept, if I could have it back without cost then I'd happily have my car back...

Re: Your fleet running reports
Update to my 3G / tracker subscription quandary - I've just been playing around with insurance quotes (I'm with Admiral FWIW) and adding / removing a tracker makes exactly £0.00 difference. On that basis the LR tracker subscription @ £260pa despite being good value for a tracker is not good value ov...

Re: Your fleet running reports
End to end encryption has been effectively zero-cost for well over a decade; there's no excuse for this. The article does touch on that towards the end - that ten years isn't really that long in vehicle development. My car is 7 years old but the L405 came out in 2012 and the architecture would have...

Re: Blatant Stagea-ism
Interesting, Wokingham is listed as one of the councils banning cars >5m and that's local to me. Also interesting, the L405 is listed as being 4999mm :lol: Also also interesting, Wokingham won't grant parking permits for cars >5m https://www.wokingham.gov.uk/parking-and-transport/parking-and-permits...

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...

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...
