Went to look - he does say the Manuale will achieve 211mph in 6th.....

Swapped Mrs mik’s ETron into its winter wheels / tyres yesterday. Winter be a comin’

Can't find gear ratio info anywhere, but this video (timestamped) appears to indicate that v-max occurs in 7th. Change lights on at 320kph (speedo reading) - 200mph. Need 7th to get the final 11mph.

I accept that's unlikely to be a daily annoyance for the owners who insist on using it in manuel ...

Apparently not. So I am back to thinking it’s just a clumsy H&T (which is normal when you try it in something you’re not familiar with of course)

Ooooooh. Do I :-

A/ break off another barrier arm (having already taken one out) - arms that are designed to break off under load to protect the main unit

B/ leave my truck in the line of fire knowing that it, and most of the train will be written off, potentially killing the train driver and ...

I know there is discussion of the Manuale in another thread because it's on multiple channels this week, but specific to Harry's video there were some odd rev flares when he was changing gear manually. Was he not taking his foot off the throttle? He does go on later to say how refined and well ...

Doesn’t qualify for the music thread, but it’s cool.

Not sure the market is there for them, but…..

Harris seems to like it. FWIW, I can really see the point. Manual for when you're pootling around and just want some driver engagement. Auto for when you're on it.

I can totally understand Ferrari saying '"you need an automatic to keep up because otherwise there's too much going on".


I get ...

It appears the sensor on the radiator has failed and is making the fan run at low speed all the time. Which stops the engine warming up at the expected rate and triggers the above. Maybe it's been doing this a while and I never noticed until now, when the weather is getting cooler ?

A new sensor ...

Fuck. Was a synthetic Manuel the obvious next reality? I hadn’t thought of that.

They supposedly have an in room response down to 32Hz


I've searched, and seen the same info (freq range 32Hz to 40kHz) - which was the claimed response from SF, but nowhere seems to know whether these quoted at the "standard" -3dB roll-off, or -6dB, or...... what?

I came across someone ...

I took delivery of some new loudspeakers yesterday. Effectively the big boy versions of the Sonus Fabers I already had, but the earlier non "M" version which are supposed to be smoother sounding than its successor


Ooh - very nice. What's the model no? My current speakers are my first 3-ways ...

Ooh - good darts. 8-)


Two people have said this now. I don't really know what it means. What does it mean?

I’m not opening this thread again - it’s 8am and I’m already craving a chicken saag….

Safe for work, but I’m not sure if I should be worried that the algorithm selected this for me.

Last race I did was a ranked GT3 race at Mount Panorama. If you get it massively wrong and end up with all four wheels sliding significantly, it still all turns to feedback mush. But “normal” under & oversteer are now very well transmitted through the wheel and corrections ...
