These electronical vehicles charge so rapidly one doesn’t even have time to get out and relieve themselves! Maybe this is another reason for the warm feeling in my loins.

I got in a sticky situation today and had to use a non Tesla charger for the first time in 8 years. I knew this BP had one and damn was it expensive

£13 for 13kwh exactly after charging losses as that’s what the car registered which is a real world range added ...

Haven’t HyperCars replaced LMP1? Can’t find much information about it, seems like even live timing is behind a paywall this year
I use a French VPN as it’s free to stream on L’equipe, but usually a few people post the English commentary on Discord.

The other day i came out of the house at 9:30 on a sunday morning to find my wife’s car (parked on the road because we had my old man over the day before) all unlocked with the boot wide open.

Presumably it had been like that all night (and it’s a ...

Is this a Met Police sting website or are they really that easy to get hold of?

Mind you I remember reading that anyone can buy those illegal car relay theft devices for £22,000.

I don’t think being slapped with an extra few years of prison is much of a deterrent when ...

You shouldn’t use them for security, on the local Facebook group a garage got burgled. The thieves just cut the phone line going to the house, totally disabled the cameras. And even then if you do have a secure underground cable a WiFi blocker costs £40 from aliexpress.

Basically you need something ...

Mine give a message when the battery is 20%

Beany is correct however if this is a big main dealer I’d expect them to get their shit together and sort it, otherwise I’m sure an email to someone important would get it done. If it’s a smaller place I’d never use them again.

Save a bit for when the high pressure fuel pump explodes and you’ll be alright

The ones I’ve seen so far have just been like the board from a laptop. Single high performance CPU running the whole show.

It’s the new thing for manufacturers - Tesla, BMW new class, Rimac, they’re combining all modules into a few very high performance ones. On an EV they save some weight and gain range but I’m not sure how good it is for future serviceability. Say your GPS system goes offline, it’s no longer a simple ...

Quite liked this one

Yeah, both come up as “Automotion Factors Ltd” which sounded familiar!

£110 for OEM Brembo stuff (off eBay in the end, cheaper than AutoDoc)


I've had mixed experiences with autodoc. Exceptional range of parts, but usually quite slow to arrive.

By far my fave is Carparts in Motion via ebay:

If you wait until the end ...

Oh this is the Japanese guy who was publicly looking for a girlfriend to take into space. That’s literally all I know about him because of the ‘billionaire in search of lover’ headlines at the time

Bit phallic from above

It's tempting for a quick flip but not worth gambling much, and from the way it's worded initial shares will be offered to those who want to invest the most, which I imagine will be well into 6 figure sums. I believe almost every tech IPO has eventually returned to its IPO price.
All that said ...

There are always a few at shows, but I assume aside from the few that are paraded at Goodwood, the rest are all replicas.

The roadster version just looks much better and correct. The coupe roofline is giving me Chevy Crossfire dog crimping one off vibes.
