Re: Should I be getting paid for appearing on a TV documentary?
I don't pay much attention to dates either and usually eat out of date things. The only bad one recently was some smoked Tuna. It was out of date and it has such a short shelf life anyway, usually only 2 or 3 days.. It was only 2 days past expiry and expensive so I didn't want to bin it. Didn't tast...
Re: New 911
Well that is interesting and worrying. Isn't that essentially what the MGU-H component in F1 power units does? Deemed so expensive and complex that it will be banned from 2026 so that Audi/Porsche can have a hope of developing a competitive engine
Not sure I'd want that in my road car.

Re: New 911
Maybe - apparently the hybrid turbo tech is 27kg and the battery pretty much the same again. There is also a normal car battery in the mix which also seems like an odd choice. Given completely free reign I would have ditched the turbo, ditched the motor in the PDK (so there is the possibility of a ...
Re: New 911
If it had a full EV capability it would weigh 150kg more rather than just 50kg. I imagine that will happen in due course but this seems the better compromise until they're absolutely forced down that path.

Re: Speed Limiters - July '24
Same situation here https://maps.app.goo.gl/KzthLSDCx7X1hd4n9 A3 is 50 mph in this section, road running parallel is 30. Model 3 will brake to 30 mph. Loads of roads like that on the outskirts of London. The best solution is to just put a blanket 20 mph limit across every road in the country. No con...

Re: The House Projects Thread
That is beyond pathetic. 5 years :roll: I have got some legal problems with the council, don't think it's sensible to share yet but for a council on the brink of bankruptcy I am surprised at the amount of resources they've thrown into this - full on private investigator levels of craziness going on....

Re: FAO BMW i3-istas
Hmm, the one I drove was a 2014 Rex which was the original smallest 60ah battery version. From that experience I can't recommend the Rex simply because the Rex portion of it kept having drivetrain errors which needed to go into BMW for 2 weeks at a time about twice a year. The petrol tank also pisse...

Re: Today’s want
What age of car? The 4 speed in the C5 and C6 keeps things interesting by kicking down to 2nd instead of 3rd when you don't expect it, giving unpredictable sideways moments in the wet! Aside from that it spoils the car. When I was selling them, it was 70% manual 30% auto until they brought out the ...

Re: Bye Bye Sunak..
It’s all an attempt to get free labour probably because all the very cheap labour fvcked off during Brexit and there’s a shortage in these “honourable jobs”. Look at how it’s weighed. A whole year of military service vs 24 days of volunteering. Almost every single person will end up picking the latt...

Re: Teh Spotted Thread
Classic car racing at Brands today had 458s, 997s and same vintage Vantage GT3s racing. But they’re still new I thought. Then I do the maths and realise most of the teenagers spectating weren’t even born when those cars first began racing 😮 I was there yesterday too Mad to think there was a long pe...

Re: Randomness
Turbocharged at 102 rpm. I wonder if the lag can be measured in minutes, and how may PSI that can generate.

Re: Today’s want
It's hard to get accurate numbers but it seems like 70% of Corvette sales were automatic on average. Look at Autotrader and it's more like over 95% automatics so there's definitely an automatic preference when importing in the UK. My dad says it's probably because people here are uncomfortable drivi...

Re: Today’s want
Every so often I get an urge and start looking at old Corvettes. Why the fuck is almost everything which is imported here an automatic. I can't think of anything worse than a 4 speed auto in a car like that
