Re: Test drive report

Can you park it out the front driveway or is it a hassle with charging? We never parked the EVs in a garage or awning or too close just in case they deduced to turn into a huge flamethrower :lol:

Re: EV Thread

The American long wheelbase version with the 90kwh battery and better motors looks decent, presumably too heavy for the EU market. 0.29 cd is pretty much a range killer though and I'd expect you want to be going no more than 60 mph to get anywhere near the claimed range.

Re: Motorway Mile Munchers

It’s a 2016 car. I forgot to put the fuel consumption, it managed 44 mpg. My car did 24.1 mpg. Very impressive considering it also seemed to have identical performance to my car. How many gallons of oil did your car use? 😁 Still a good looking car, shame Jag have lost their way None, I must have ha...

Re: Motorway Mile Munchers

We arrived at the dealership at 11am, ran by a father and son team who seemed genuinely enthusiastic about cars. As I got out the car the father exclaimed “those 645s leak oil from everywhere” :lol: Had a good look around the XJ, it was immaculate bar needing the water spots polishing off all the ch...

Re: Motorway Mile Munchers

Yes, Jag acquired, just got home half an hour ago and my phone died from Waze. I’ll do a write up once I’ve had something to eat and maybe a better poke around it.

Re: Tesla Cyberpuke

I’m guessing no the stainless steel trim just clips onto the rubber accelerator pedal like it does on most cars but it was a bit of a shit fit and the trim popped off. But I don’t understand how that would jam the accelerator?

Re: Ukraine

Better late than never but it’s almost like they want Russia to be tied up in a never ending war. As soon as Ukraine makes some inroads, the aid slows, when they really get in trouble things get into gear.

Re: Teh Spotted Thread

No incentives for electric cars. Light duty commercial get a few grand subsidised.
Annual road tax is similar to the old UK system in terms of tax banded into CO2 emissions groups but EVs still have a basic tax rate.

Re: The ebay thread

I’d have thought the front pistons would be cover a greater width, looking at the piston housing casting. It could be that they’re really shit pads and the edges have crumbled away leaving just the centre.

Re: Teh Spotted Thread

I’m surprised that EVs in the city seem to be much like London, mainly taxis, Uber, and maybe about 10% among private users. I thought it would be more like 90% being 8 months away from the deadline. Even a large proportion of taxis are new ice Volvos and they have no grace period either.

An old Volvo driving through central Stockholm. Something it has done for over 50 years but which will be illegal come January.

End of an era as all petrol and diesel cars will be banned. Even plug in hybrids bought today.

Have you seen that Chris Harris has started a series on YouTube on his newly purchased M5 touring? It seems a bit of a money pit so far though!

Re: Your fleet running reports

It makes no sense. Congratulates you that you’ve driven your car more than 90% of others and berates you at the same time for the CO2. The fuckwits surely realise that one leads to the other.
I wouldn’t want my data being tracked like that either and randomly shared out like that.

Re: Lotus Emira

They’ll surely end up in the teens eventually? I see more Emiras in a week in London than I see all the other Lotus models ever made in over a month. They must have already produced more of them than other Lotus ever?
