JFC Dave!, you're not seriously both siding Russia's invasion are you ? You need to get out of whatever echo chamber you're getting that from.

How does a jury system work where you have a high profile policitican being tried in a state where most of the populace vote for the other side? Would you be happy being tried by a 'jury of your peers' in that instance? I wouldn't. The crimes were done in NY, the trial gets held in NY. Simple as th...

...I don’t think he is evil though. He has stated many times that he wants to leave / dismantle NATO, and that he has a plan to end Russia's invasion of Ukraine instantly. Obviously he doesn't :lol: but it could only happen by denying Ukraine agency in the matter and letting Putin have the entire c...

Imagine if the level of effort put to Trump to find issues was put to all politicians. How did they get all the power, does any normal person actually get into power at all ? Dave! Dave! - I don’t entirely disagree but where are you getting this pro-Trump whataboutism from ? Serious question. From ...

Hey @drcarlos - is this you ??

The enrichment was getting elected.

Not sure you'd be able to prove causation on that.

Well, he got convicted on all 34 charges. QED.

Cayenne failed its MOT yesterday, for parking brake efficiency. I never use it so I’d not noticed. Today I pulled them apart and there was only half a piece of friction material across all four shoes :lol: Three were completely bare. No sign of where they’d gone either. New shoes fitted today but th...

I can't see where the element of enrichment or loss was going on here... The enrichment was getting elected. The story coming out right before the 2016 election would have jeopardised that, the whole "catch & kill" was crucial to not derailing his campaign. On that basis DoJ were able...

Engine noise, speed, rate of acceleration, even time since last gear change… some or even all of these are used to know when to change up or down. You shouldn’t really need to look down at a rev counter I agree with this. If you're thrashing it to the point you're constantly near the redline you sh...

This is a good outcome. Can he run while serving a sentence? Seems impossible that he can run for president when convicted criminals can't vote (I think). He could be jailed and still be President, the US is that weird. Despite convicted felons not being allowed to vote, or hold security clearance....

I'm now curious, but also terrified of googling it.

Mine goes backwards

Weather. Especially our winters where it fluctuates either side of freezing instead of staying one side or the other.

Apart from 15 metres faster on the quarter mile. It does the quarter mile in 15 metres less than a quarter mile ? Impressive ! If they're genuinely quoting quarter mile performance as a relative measure and in metres now, it's just an obvious misdirection from discussing how the time difference is ...

I hadn’t, tbh, they seem to start at £13k but are a touch newer for the price so that’s fair enough. However, I expect she’d want a convertible as that’s what she has now, and the electric convertibles only came out last year so they’re still £35k+. It’s a “no” to that :D I like the quirkiness of th...

Oh. You’re right though Dave! it’s a tall vehicle, noticeably taller than the Cayenne. In other news, I was wrong. This is a vanishingly rare event so it’s come as a bit of a shock tbh. The A-B-C pillars *are* leather ! It’s just that Land Rover have somehow managed to make them indistinguishable fr...

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.

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.

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 ...
