Re: Do automatic ICE cars need tachometers/rev-counters?

Let’s be honest the only thing it’s useful for is to satisfy one’s curiosity :lol:

Re: Trump guilty

Just looking at MP requirements here, I don’t seen an exclusion for those with a criminal conviction either but bankruptcy is listed 😂

Re: Jaguar

F-Pace is just a Velar and that's not long for this world as there's pics of the new Velar under camouflage being tested.

E/I Pace made in Austria and also not long for this world.

They've done an Alfa Romeo from 2008 when they canned everything then realised they have no cars to sell :lol:

Re: Jaguar

Wonder what all the factory workers are doing now then? No reports of mass layoffs. I thought there were rumours that it was going to be split from Land Rover and sold off.

This. Also I've noticed digital rev counters aren't relaying back the data 100% accurately. They have an element of smoothing going on to the point that even a misfire will show a rock solid idle.

Re: Teh Spotted Thread

F40 with the plate F40 ABV - recently sold on collecting cars. Also a new GT3 RS with the plate REV 11T. Both by Parliament Square. I can’t possibly make up my mind if they’re cool or shit. I would have to camp outside Parliament for a few weeks, perhaps with the Palestinian gang, to see if they’re ...

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I don't pay much attention to dates either and usually eat out of date things.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 It was out of date and it has such a short shelf life anyway, usually only 2 or 3 days..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 :lol:

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 ...

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.

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....
