Unbelievable about of work for something that you’d think would be simple!

Looks like I’m going to the tyre shop tomorrow to have this nail patched up

I was randomly browsing cars a few weeks ago and a nice 928 came up, relatively low miles and it was only in the mid 20's. I thought they cost far more than that but then again it was an auto and I just assume old automatics are hateful in anything vaguely performance orientated.

Is that all the millionaires leaving?
Would be good to have some context to the figures.

Still has it, takes it for short spirited drives when the weather is good. The real limitation on his one is the ride height, however it’s adjustable and they’ll ask you how you want it. Sequential gearbox also doesn’t like driving at very slow speeds in traffic so not something you want to take ...

Surprised there’s no aftermarket stuff for it? And why can’t the bushes and ball joints just be replaced?

I think China will save us soon, they’re starting to get really rather good at making desktop CNC machines that any idiot can use and they’re coming down in price very quickly. I reckon we’re ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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!

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 ...

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.

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.

The driver that got DSQ and his permit revoked was Timo Glock 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.
