Re: Speed Limiters - July '24
Which is exactly as it should do; the speed limit changes at the speed limit sign, not at whatever point afterwards you decide to slow down to the new limit.

Re: FAO BMW i3-istas
Ah, OK. When it's only doing local trips I think the 3-pin home charger will probably be fine. We might even get away with a single overnight full charge per week.

Re: FAO BMW i3-istas
Thanks all - and apologies to Holley for forgetting you had one too ! (but worth checking you get a proper dual charger with it as not all i3's have them except for one of those home plug in ones) ? Is the dual charger part of the car ? I know nothing about this stuff (yet). There's already a hefty ...

FAO BMW i3-istas
This is Carlos & Mito Man I believe. I suddenly, slightly unexpectedly, have a window to add one to the fleet to replace the MINI. Usage would be daily short local journeys (<5 miles round trip) with occasional visits to in-laws (~70 miles round trip). We obviously have the RR for anything longe...

Re: Your fleet running reports
Ah - I wasn't complaining about the roll, that works OK, although you can tell the tyres really don't like it :lol: But that's fine, I don't plan on driving it like that. I meant the general softness, it floats up & down a bit on undulating roads and seems to pitch back & forth a lot, especi...

Re: Speed Limiters - July '24
Won't this massively hit new car sales? Especially in the performance sector? No. Customer walks into Ferrari showroom. "Hello I'd like to buy a Ferarri. Does it have a speed limiter ?" "Yes" "Oh, that's a shame, I'll go and buy a Dacia instead, there's no point in buying a...

Re: Your fleet running reports
Starting to get the feeling that the suspension is way too soft for my taste. I guess that's the famous trademark awesome ride quality. Twiddle with the suspension settings and put it in dynamic mode instead of auto (using the little knob that sprouts up when you press it :lol: ) It doesn't have th...

Re: Your fleet running reports
Some progress with cars over the long weekend. Friday - the Bentley finally went. I took it for a brief spin in the morning, I'll definitely miss it for the engine and the general ambience, but not the noise from the suspension that I couldn't work out. Saturday - got back on with the Smart now that...

Re: Teh Spotted Thread
It’s not far from here, I’ve not seen the Delta parked there before but the resident is an obvious Italian car perv, that’s a Fiat Coupe peeking in on the right, and choosing matching yellow for whatever the thing is on the left is a strong move.
