OV9

The interior is disappointing. It’s just a Tesla dash with an ugly steering wheel and wonky screen so you can differentiate it.

The new DS looks nicer inside - again minus the steering wheel

Drives the BMS crazy or something? Might be a myth but I’ve never risked it modern cars!

Any ideas on how to get a good connection on the CTEK quick connect cable on the earth post?

I slipped a rubber o ring to keep it held down but it’s still not a good connection.
Really just need a battery post terminal but I can’t find a small enough one!

Apparently the 599 was sold in manual form for EU/USA but almost no one ordered it. Surprised it has a bunch of aftermarket stuff and mapping - surely you could go down the OEM route and avoid the risk of unknown parts, R&D etc?

3 spokes was the old class

New i3. No not a new version of the old i3. New 3 series i3.


Why did they make the back like a 2 series coupe

Probably the reason why even now if you buy a sports car the dealer will sell and fit the manufacturer approved upgrade parts like the fins, bodywork and noisier exhausts?

Yes those hedges provide ideal cover for dogging.

I’m gonna change my opinion on the overall best looking Countach to the original. I can’t help but think the one with all the arch bolt ons, skirts and wings isn’t aging nearly as gracefully now.
Although with the Harry’s garage Countach it should retain the wing and looks better for it as it has ...

I did read that the Mercedes had some weird telemetry issues going on, so maybe the other cars are ok. Then again between the FIA and Liberty Media I’m sure you can find enough slimy pricks to fill Parliament.

Haven’t seen the video but I vaguely remember him taking off the wing years ago and fitting bungs to cover the holes. Did he get it filled and painted only to drill them out again?

Was wondering how they did it since the teams did say they didn’t want that broadcast
The absurd thing is go on any onboard for any car and you can see their battery levels on the dash. So the teams can all see each others battery levels. What’s the point of hiding it from the viewers?!

Baku will be good, wonder how much the cars will derate by the end of the straight. They seem to be showing much fewer onboards as a solution to the clipping. Also noticed the onboard cameras must be super wide angle this year to make up for it. When Max was coming into the pit lane he looked 100 ...

I wish we had the battery graphics all the time, really need it for context. Enjoyed the Ferrari battle but it really was the only thing going on all race. And well done Antonelli.
The oppression GPs being cancelled may be part of the papal blessing Ferrari got 😂 2 fewer races for the trick Mercedes ...

Just seen the sprint. Honestly the first few laps were good, the Ferrari and Mercedes were pretty evenly matched but the tyres went to shit and so did the race.
Should be a pretty easy season for Mercedes though.

6 series had some slight knocking underneath. I couldn’t feel any play in anything but the cheapest and easiest part to replace was the sway bar bushes. On RealOEM 3,4,5,6,7 series all have different part numbers and then M sport, sport, diesel etc have different part numbers again whereas the ...

I’ll support you by letting you park it on my drive and making sure it works. Every single day. Hope this helps?

I’ll donate a bottle of baby oil.

That video was 17 minutes and 50 seconds too long

Hmm, I’ve not heard anything from the Claudetards that gave their AI agent money to go invest or come up with other ways to make money. They must all be retired in the Caribbean I suppose.
