Re: EV Thread

For being The Best In The World At Everything, the americans sure are shit scared of a little competition.

I mean, the correct response to that was clearly to pick up one of the hundreds of cones, and wang it right into his face repeatedly, pointy end first.

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 reliab...

Misha. He’s like the modern day Sabine. Has his own garage at the Ring and does hot laps all day. How much did Sabine crash? Maybe if every single lap of hers was recorded and uploaded on YouTube we would know. You'd think with all those hot laps under his belt he'd be better at not crashing cars. ...

The driver should be in fucking jail, frankly. That was absurdly dangerous and it's only dumb luck that the rider didn't end up under the car and minced.

Oh, they're not environmentalist hippies, they're anti-progress NIMBYs more than likely - the sort who protest fibre broadband being run on new poles, or 5g masts being installed.

I mean, based on some of the shit they post (wow, my cybertruck is shit and suffered brake and steering failure but i still love it! etc) it's actually quite believable that they might have thought they were making a statement.

My dad was an engineer for knocking on 50 years. He used all sorts of high end pro stuff for work that I can't remember the name of. He had Facom gear in the car and on the boat. So "Good enough for a journeyman pro to use at home" seems like a reasonable recommendation for their mainline ...
