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

Re: Trump guilty

This is a good outcome. Can he run while serving a sentence? Seems impossible that he can run for president when convicted criminals can't vote (I think). He could be jailed and still be President, the US is that weird. Despite convicted felons not being allowed to vote, or hold security clearance....

What a fall from grace that is.
For how long though if they are not building engines?

Jaguar

From what i can tell...Yep dead. https://www.goodwood.com/grr/road/news/2024/5/castle-bromwich-builds-its-last-petrol-jaguar/ They've stopped production of XE,XF and F-Type and will no longer produce ICE's. Unclear what they have left to sell if they aren't building Internal Combustion Engines. i-Pa...

Re: Speed Limiters - July '24

I have two issues really yeah, the lazy thinking that no speeding= no crashes, and the systems are actually more dangerous than doing nothing at the moment Lane assist tries to drive me into parked vehicles Speed warning reads signs, badly and often side roads instead of the one you're on.

Re: For the FTAO of Sim racing folk

Saying that, I havent once played it on the tv with a controller. That's part of the problem - playing on the TV feels like going back in time and is just never the same, but the hassle of setting everything up with the wheel and headset can also be offputting, as I feel like by the time I've set i...

Re: Your fleet running reports

It's an SDV8. Not sure if they came in different levels of tune. All 334 bhp by the looks of it There was a boost to the torque & an updated torque converter in 2015. The various car spec websites seem very hit & miss which figure they quote but there’s a few articles that describe it: http...

Re: Test drive report

8-) Nice. I can understand where you're coming from with all your logic with the Emira, but I don't see why the special-ness of it would wane? I don't think it would for me. I've seen quite a few now, and consistently gives me a feeling I've seen something a bit special (something for Porsches only...

I keep it on loose enough to be comfortable. Have been on a transatlantic flight that hit sudden turbulence. Plane just dropped suddenly without warning for a second or so. 747 at that point so not just a puddle jumper. Ive also experienced a go-around into London City. Fairly undramatic. We were la...

Re: Your fleet running reports

Got Bimmercode/bimmerlink and a suitable OBD thingy so I can now annoy the neighbours and locals by fiddling with my flap. Also, I think I have told it to stop turning off AC recirc after a few minutes, it's supposed to automatically do it based on air quality, but I've never found that to be relia...
