Re: Car Hire Lottery

It's a manuel, and the most notable feature is a drive-by-wire clutch that allows the engine to switch off whilst being automatically and simultaneously decoupled from the transmission when you are on the motorway (or local equivalent) at speed, and you head down a hill, or deactivate the cruise to...

Re: Car Hire Lottery

The overriding thing i'll take away from the experience however is the nannying. That’s pretty much anything modern really. My focus is a 2020 car and has such niceties as Auto lights- only auto in the dark so you look like a cunt if you forget in daylight rain My old 2012 Focus had a setting on th...

Re: The ebay thread

Is it just me, or does this look like it's been running with no brake pads and the pistons are just pushing straight on the discs ??

Re: Teh Spotted Thread

It is a very small area to begin with, you can walk from one end to the other in minutes. They've not decided on further expansion yet, that I can see, though it is in the plans. Would I be right in assuming they have adequate affordable public transport to facilitate this? Not like anywhere in the...

Re: New Car

Supposed to be better put together than equivalent Renaults as Romanian roads apparently make ours look like the autobahn. I do have a soft spot for the Dacia brand, feels like it’s filled the void of good old fashioned basic motoring that ford left when it moved more upmarket

Re: Viewing a Car - POLL

Yes, but are they going to break into 7 houses looking for the key to your car? Like I said, it just makes it more effort for them and they tend to go for the easiest option Depends on the car. 1l fiesta, no. Porsche 911 turbo s getting stolen to order- possibly. Or if it’s a Range Rover just walk ...

Re: Viewing a Car - POLL

It’s very weird. My postcode links to about 5 houses. Even if the car in question is stored in a garage it’s not difficult to whittle it down to which one, especially if the photos in their advert are taken on their own drive. It’s just fucking dumb

Re: No F1 thread?

Maybe that’s the reason for all the rumours around Newey supposedly being in talks with Ferrari, they’re probably the only ones with enough sway to change anything that seems dumb as fuck like that, and they possibly even have a veto on things
