Re: Ferrari Luce Reveal

Honestly in terms of EV innovations, the other end of the market (IE sub £25k stuff) is way more interesting. There's a lot more work that needs to go into making something weigh little enough that a small battery can get decent range, etc.

Re: Drug driving

I mean, if they think having a big bifta, or a couple of lines of columbian marching powder isn't going to impact their driving capability, then they probably shouldn't be driving, or allowed near sharp objects, or be leaving their home without their full time carer.

Surely people can't be that ...

Re: Ferrari Luce Reveal

I think the problem is that they don't always do a good job of sweeping the whole screen, and they also look like they belong on a commercial vehicle.

Clearly, we need to send Hubnut over to do a wiper test. Triangle of Doom? Dribble of Disappointment? We must know!

I assume it's referencing the wipers that park at the side of the screen and wipe 'inwards'.

Blimey, good spot on the silica water absorbtion. My old 987 had issues with trapping moisture and I don't know if it is just the way the hoods are as they age and the thing needs to be garaged, or if it's a loss of tension somewhere.

Re: Graphical upgrades

They won't be noticeably bigger (technically they don't need to be *any* bigger as they just swap out, say, 2gb memory modules for 4gb ones and they don't run any fucking hotter - it's all cynical market segmentation) - and most of the decent sellers will have the exact dimensions of the card on ...

Re: Graphical upgrades

Make sure you get a 16gb graphics card, it'll last longer the way games are going with VRAM usage.

But yeah, GPU is all you really need in that - 10th gen intel is broadly still fine for games, and 16gb of RAM is broadly OK too as long as you're not streaming.

The only concern I'd have would be if ...

Re: EV's with stoopid big bhp numbers

Has there been any actual progress with the slate. I'll swear I last looked it over a year ago, and it was at the same stage - "Give us a deposit and maybe we'll make it one day" sort of deal. IE Vapourware.

Re: EV's with stoopid big bhp numbers

Why does it look like someone scaled up a GTA version of a Tomy Little People car?

And, as with so many other modern designs, left the styling buck too close to a three bar heater.

What a piece of utter shit.

A bit more reading:
Apparently there's a coolant Y pipe under the supercharger which is - of course - plastic. That cracks and leaks. Can be replaced with a metal one. And there's a noise isolator for the supercharger that can fail. Other than the usual timing chain rattles on any chain car - if it ...
