It’s the Eletre round here. I don’t know if Lotus caved and suddenly sold them all for a super deal but I went from seeing one a month to 10 a day.

You’d need a lobotomy at that price. Mind you I think the E46 M3 Touring is worse. At least with the MX5 you get an upgrade and not just a bigger boot that you can’t realistically utilise because of the cost of the thing

£29k includes suspension and so on I think. The basic stage 1 engine is under £7k+VAT, so there's labour obviously in it too. I'd like to know a bit more about what you get for £29k; if you go for the £75k+ restomod you get a bare metal respray, so buying a car which doesn't need a respray must ...

I like it but at £29k it’s not very appealing. I prefer the Rotrex route, only up to 300bhp but DIY friendly and looks OEM+

Mito - 17 years
Defender - don’t know, maybe 10.
645 - don’t know but it’s been in the family since 2005.

Don’t really keep track of dates, just know the ages from the plates.

The good cars turn into pets and stay until it’s better to put them down.

Have Autodoc stopped doing the thing where they send your part but it’s from a much cheaper/inferior brand to what you ordered, then it takes weeks for them to get in touch, they argue the toss that it’s the same part number as what you ordered so they expect you to pay the postage to Germany to ...

Next you’ll be asking for the best way to join together 2 ends of a power lead together

I feel like the little ramp bits would keep coming off if you turn on them. I’d be more confident if there were a system which you could secure with the odd concrete screw because I think the locking system depends on everything being tight and not having room to move.

Thought this was AI at first

I would need to cut them to fit around a central inspection pit which is what worries me as depending on the size of the tiles it could end up with a whole row not interlocking with each other and it would be right in the middle where you need to turn. Back to the drawing board..

Question for the garagistas who have those rubber floor tiles. Do you think they would survive a car turning lock to lock on them or just get torn up? Or can they be glued down?

Yes but Mercedes didn’t come through on the production car unfortunately, they said it would basically be the CLA EV but that’s just another mediocre EV blob.

Pretty much this for me, it is technically inferior to a 10+ year old Tesla chassis. It’s not moving the game on in any way aside from being a Ferrari EV. Maybe this thing will lap the Nurburgring faster than a Taycan Turbo S but I doubt that. Maybe it will be more comfortable than a Range Rover EV ...

Fuze - enjoyed this, it’s like Murder on the Orient Express except it’s a heist in London. 7/10

Sounds like the future to me. AI and robots doing all the work out there, rest of us fleshy mortals on universal income hooked to government provided drugs
We will have nothing but we will have a good time.

The stock recovered after the CEO mentioned that the order books are doing well and customers are even transferring funds already for one.
I imagine they’re making a killing in terms of profit margin per car on this too. Half a million for a milk float! Everyone will be laughing all the way to the ...

The issue is Ferrari being quite coy with the dimensions and the purpose of the car. The much better looking render is a 4 door coupe. The Luce appears to be a practical 5 seater SUV, more akin to a bigger X6 or Model X.
It’s baffling really because that’s the kind of decision a manufacturer would ...

Ecoflow Wave in the passenger seat?

Drug use is absolutely rife now. 7am in Covent Garden there’s always the same chaps standing in the same places. You eventually notice them in the mornings because it’s relatively quiet and everyone is commuting, there’s no loitering tourists so they stick out. Stop somewhere to grab breakfast and ...

I don’t think it ever had a problem with leaving a dirty patch in the centre of the screen. Anyway on the E series stuff I’ve been in BMW never swapped them from LHD to RHD but it also never bothered me.
