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: F1 Monaco Town Parade (fast version)
I thought k-mags move was even more stupid than Ocon and he got a Penalty. At least Ocon went down the inside
Stewards probably not wanting to give out a ban.

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

Christ they like to make an event out of it don't they? Am I tuning in to a motor race or a procession of shite anthems and singing?

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

Re: Your fleet running reports
The only real solution is a no tag no start or a ghost. Ghost is still CAN bus based though ? So although it's very clever it's only a matter of time before it gets hacked - as long as criminals can physically tap into the CAN bus wiring it's open to exploitation. I was thinking yesterday a mechani...

Re: Bye Bye Sunak..
It’s a stupid idea, probably just to boost the pathetic armed forces count. 2 types of people at 18 - those who are going straight to a job/apprenticeship and those who are going to uni. (Ok there’s a very small minority of gap year soul searchers too). Not sure any of them would like to piss away a...

Re: Randomness
Just looking at the bottom of this forum and there's a Google Bot online probably collating any old bollocks and using them as facts.
Not sure why they don't only use a list of professional sites and online encyclopaedias to train it.

Wonder if Leclerc will stuff it in the wall first or if Ferrari will find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Re: Your fleet running reports
Got round to fitting my new shiny brakes on the 6. https://i.postimg.cc/2CNSyVKr/IMG-0671.jpg?dl=1 It was all very enjoyable and didn’t take half a day this time. I am surprised the rear calipers are not seized, they looked like they came off the bottom of the ocean and even the caliper pistons look...

Re: Your fleet running reports
Because manufacturers aren’t a victim of car crime but a beneficiary. Land Rover only bothered to come up with a proper fix once insurance premiums went so high and they had so much negative press that it started to influence sales.

Re: Your fleet running reports
Maybe better off with an AirTag?
I mean if it makes no difference to your premium, unlikely to work after the 3G cut off, probably not the best tracker when new either and all the usual locations for it known by thieves by now.
