Re: Speed Limiters - July '24

Barry - the systems Shirley need to get better before this crap is introduced. There is a section of road that I travel sporadically that is a 20-limit. If I am in mrs-mik's E-Tron (which is generally very good at getting the limit right) I tend to use the cruise, but if I set it to 23, the car alw...

Re: Your fleet running reports

@GG. It sounds like it's starting on diesel. Flip the tap so it uses petrol for startup too. :ugeek:

Mr Murray is at the taller end of the scale at 6'4" (193cm). He was keen to ensure taller drivers fitted.

Re: The House Projects Thread

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). I feel Kevin could have done something with the half(?) basketball court....

Re: Randomness

107 thousand bhp sounds pretty nuts, but then you realise it’s only making 4.25bhp/litre :?

Re: Teh Spotted Thread

1. A white 991 (non GT flavour) as I came through the Clyde tunnel. Commented to Mrs mik that you rarely see white non-GT 911s, and 15 seconds later a white 997 came the other way. :lol: 2. AC 3000. Never seen one before - only really recognised it due to a set of Top Trumps cards I had a a kid! Lib...

Re: Choose

I expect it’s an ornament as opposed to a driver :cry:

Either that or it’s all they could get after getting a puncture mid-drive, and they will OF COURSE replace it before pushing on.

Re: Bye Bye Sunak..

I’m not voting because I have some ridiculous notion that if turnout is historically low all the parties might have a think about why that might be and make some changes. I know they won’t, but none of them deserve the effort to get out and cross the box. That's is a ridiculous notion :lol:, but yo...

Re: Choose

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. Pretty much that for me. F1 has always been mighty, and hugely desirable but was never known as being friendly/for...

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...
