Re: Today’s want
In addition, DCT’s only work in single-gear intervals. From 7th gear to 6th, to 5th, to 4th, for example. If the driver is in 7th gear and wants 4th for maximum power, the DCT cannot pre-select 4th gear directly. The driver has to pass through 6th and 5th gears, wasting time and power. Is that stri...
Re: Cazoo
Cars didn’t even need to be faulty did they? I’m sure their advertising said you could return it if you didn’t like it, which at the time struck me as a handy way to hire a car for a week or so for free 😄 That. Argos had a similar 14-day no-quibble return process when I was at uni. I was limited by...

Inspired by click . The year? 2024 What the FUCK is going on? Calm down. Sorry about that - what's happening? You've just had a major Euromillions win. But they added a new clause recently : that if the jackpot is > £100million you must purchase one of the vehicles listed below within 2 days, or for...

Re: Seatbelts on planes
What I've always wondered is how do the captains know when to instruct you to put the seatbelt on? Can you see it approaching? Is it data driven, or do you get a heads up from Fred 100km in front of you that their crew just lost their lunch? Pilots receive live data feeds from Global Weather Contro...

Re: Teh Spotted Thread
Will it get away with those arches for the road? They barely cover the wheels.

Re: Your fleet running reports
Im finding it really difficult to find tyres for the EQV (245/55/17) as anything other that budget brands are on backorder. Camskill are offering both Conti & Bridgestone under "OE Merc". https://www.camskill.co.uk/m54b0s4852p0/Car_Tyres_-_MPV_Tyres_-_People_Carrier_Tyres_-_17_inch_R1...

Seatbelts on planes
Prompted by the 777 turbulence issue . Not really any of my business, but I'm always quite fascinated at how (relatively) lax many other airline passengers are with their belts, unbuckling as soon as given permission to do so, rebuckling only when instructed by the cabin crew, and when fastened - on...

Re: Flightradar24 fans
Hey @IanF , help me understand. I understand that during turbulence the plane could fall and people would be weightless, but in so many of these stories you hear of people hitting the plane roof with force, as if the plane is being 'pulled' down faster than gravity. What gives? I am not a pilot, bu...

Re: The Movie Thread
Anatomy of a Fall (Prime) Very, very confusing. Watched it in two sittings as I fell asleep first time round although that's not the film's fault. The lead is fantastic, carrying the whole film, and the plot leaves you guessing with no obvious outcome. I do hope the portrayal of the functioning of ...

Re: Your fleet running reports
I have discovered that if you put the M135i in to 'TRACTION' mode (a single press of the TC button) it pops and crackles like an absolute motherfucker on the overrun - about as much, if not more than in sport+, but without the firm gearchanges, heavy steering etc. I am absolutely not being a child ...
