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...

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...

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...

You were probably thinking of Kelis.

Killed by turdulence.

That would be a shitshow.

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...

Will it get away with those arches for the road? They barely cover the wheels.

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...

Well done in reaching a decision / action.

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...

I was going to highlight that the 7 is out now, but it doesn't appear to be available in S6 size yet click

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...
