Re: It’s time for another forum cycle/vehicle disagreement

All it would have taken in that second video was the cyclist to do what you’re supposed to do and check behind before moving out. He’d have seen the landy and probably thought “fuck that” and hung back before moving right. Instead he did the wanky cyclist with a camera thing of “I have right of way ...

Re: Test drive report

Oof, 140 mile range at 98% charge? That's city car range for bopping around town, not exactly what you want on a big, spacious five seater. Edit - just realised I must have read the numbers wrong in the ad, and that 140 miles is the trip, and ~200 miles is the range, which is a bit better, but stil...

Re: FTAO forum members looking to spend around £820k on a track toy

I could see these ending up with a ban on track days, I can imagine incidents where someone will be following one, loose focus on everything but the car in front and completely miss their braking point off a high speed straight- because that car doesn’t actually have a braking point :lol: I also won...

Re: The House Projects Thread

Floors are being sanded today and we're trapped upstairs by sheets of plastic - it looks like house in ET when the government swoops down. Of course poor planning and preparation is to blame. Child #2 is wondering if she could get food delivered and they'd be happy to try throwing it up through an ...

I had the same thought when I got the focus. It doesn’t make any untoward noises at all and feels better put together than the fabia courtesy car I had recently. Pleasantly surprised, I expected at least one squeak or rattle from a 4 year old car

Re: Tesla Cyberpuke

I’m guessing no the stainless steel trim just clips onto the rubber accelerator pedal like it does on most cars but it was a bit of a shit fit and the trim popped off. But I don’t understand how that would jam the accelerator? Probably goes the wrong side of the mats and locks in place. I’m surpris...

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...

The overriding thing i'll take away from the experience however is the nannying. That’s pretty much anything modern really.

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...
