Re: EV's with stoopid big bhp numbers

Cars that keep you busy at low speed are my thing because the general pace of driving during the day is so slow and boring. Like the Defender for that, always busy changing gear or just keeping it driving in a straight line. Anything ATV or UTV based is the same. You’re just holding on for dear life ...

Re: EV's with stoopid big bhp numbers

This is equally tragic but our lovely neighbours across the pond like to remove the rear bench seat on Teslas because you can hear the motor whine.
Then again maybe it’s less tragic as it’s not a synthetic noise…

Once they make their SUV versions it will look like a fancy heat pump from the rear :lol:

Re: EV's with stoopid big bhp numbers

I voted 2 but for me on a sporty EV it’s the only positive. They’re heavier, have no soul, make no nice noises, don’t feel like a special occasion. At least they’re fast. That’s it.
Also you have to realise that EVs make have an almost inverse power curve compared to ICE. So if you want a EV to be ...

Re: EV Thread

It just looks like one of those endless Chinese brands that copy the silhouette of high end European cars and then get the details very wrong.

Surprised it took you this long to buy an EV when you’re based in London. You’ve missed out on the days of free parking!

Re: Forza Horizon 6

They’ve spectacularly missed the point with Touge racing. Instead of making an entirely new type of racing they’ve just renamed the head to head races which is a shame as I was looking forward to that. That’s pretty lazy from them as that’s a uniquely Japanese thing and would have been a great new ...

Re: Your fleet running reports

I think the e61 did that too, it retracts halfway as the boot opens and then closes again with the boot. And iirc the dog net was integrated into the cover.

That. Proper cylinder count for this one too. Looks great (although headlights are stoopid)
Yep, cancelled my deposit for that exact reason. Oh well.

Re: S1 Lotus Elise

Having a car which doesn't depreciate and increases in value with inflation is one thing but will it offset tax, insurance and servicing? Probably not.

Re: Nurburgring gets a dose of 'Staph

The driver that got DSQ and his permit revoked was Timo Glock :lol: Straight up blasted through a slow zone and overtook a few cars in the process.

Engel seemed to be the only driver who could keep Max behind or just about keep up with him. They did almost crash into each other though.

Re: Nurburgring gets a dose of 'Staph

Wonder if the private investor funding was the actual reason they built it, on the condition that they didn't make another? In which case it's ok as without them there wouldn't even be one.

Slipped on oil. Didn’t look like a particularly bad crash though, must have snapped a driveshaft or something.

Re: Forza Horizon 6

The thing I hate with all the Forza games on a gamepad is their traction control system. All the very high power stuff is undriveable on a gamepad without it, but turn it on and it’s non existent at low speeds and too intrusive at high speeds, acting more like stability control. Just give me an ...

Re: Forza Horizon 6

Initial impressions are it’s quite good. Very much an arcade game so I don’t think it would suit a wheel, cars drift as soon as you turn. I tried a wheel with Horizon many years ago and it wasn’t great. It does look pretty last gen on my Xbox Series X, the cars and city look good but it falls apart ...

Re: Bye bye Starmer


I still find it strange that you can chop or change roles within government.

It's like me being a chief draughtsman and then deciding to be the accountant.

I mentioned this donkeys years ago and someone said it’s because the role is more about managing other people to do the role ...
