Huzzah! Cheers Mr SSO!

Home Alone house for sale. Lots of (Mercuns?) complaining on twitter that they’ve not kept the interior as it was for the film (although apparently most of it was filmed on a set, it was modelled on the actual house interior). Do they....do they think the film distributors own every house they film...

Feels like longer ratios than a ZF8, because I'm assuming that's gotta be well north of 500bhp, and my M135i goes through the gears quicker than that with it's paltry 320-odd!

I was rather unimpressed with the number of potholes on the M40 yesterday. Local authority maintained roads I sort of understand the maintenance issues but Highways Agency? That’s just evidence of how badly run the country is currently. More than a few times on company meeting trips, I've been stuc...

Every so often I get an urge and start looking at old Corvettes. Why the fuck is almost everything which is imported here an automatic. I can't think of anything worse than a 4 speed auto in a car like that :roll: Because in the US, manual boxes are reserved for serious, hardcore drivers and they t...

I don't even think it's a real policy proposal, I think they're just trying to maintain engagement and drown out other voices on social media.

End to end encryption has been effectively zero-cost for well over a decade; there's no excuse for this. The article does touch on that towards the end - that ten years isn't really that long in vehicle development. My car is 7 years old but the L405 came out in 2012 and the architecture would have...

Security stuff. Long article about CAN injection. I didn't really understand it. https://kentindell.github.io/2023/04/03/can-injection/ A Range Rover Sport that was stolen by cutting a hole in the tailgate to access the wiring. Either search instagram yourself to try and find a photo, or use the li...

I like that.

F1 was my dream car growing up so would be hard to refuse. But 30 years is a long time and I'd imagine as a pure driving experience the T50 is just better in every way. So I would pick the T50; regret it and wish I'd picked the F1. Just wait for one to come up at auction. $20m is affordable when yo...

I'm surprised no-one seems to be interested in experiencing a 170bhp/litre 3.9 V12 that screams to 12,000rpm in a car that weighs around a ton wet.

Guess nostalgia is a helluva drug.

I was looking at whether the adaptive cruise on the 1-series can be retrofitted to my car, but apparently the front bumper for the M135i is a necessity for cooling, and it doesn't have the ability to take the hardware gubbins. Which is a shame, but then again once I found that out I didn't bother lo...

See, I'm the opposite - always preferred a screaming V12 over a barking one.

T50

It's comes across as an F1 without the usabiliy compromises (IE better AC and brakes) and with an equally fucking crazy powerplant for the size of it.

I can always buy an F1 later.

Honestly, it could just be an AI article.

AI is that shit.

Yeah, a lot of Sunaks musings yesterday were about fixing the country. Mate, who's been running it for the last fifteen years? Anyway, here's something that's worth absorbing before overthinking small boats/asylum etc https://freemovement.org.uk/briefing-the-sorry-state-of-the-uk-asylum-system/ The ...

You think they keep it next to the model planes?
