My dad's has just come back from the dealer with a bill for £12,520.43 for a replacement front gearbox/PTU for the 4WD system - thankfully covered under warranty. They apparently are a "when" not "if" replacement, which is annoying as I was planning to buy or inherit it from him...

Interesting. You think a 355/360 would be a better option than your 996 C4S? (Not trying to be a smartarse - I recall that you liked that car but the timing was wrong for your needs?)

I know TG is now dead, but I was listening to the latest Sniff & Smith podcast the other night (which I don't often get a chance to do) Episode 208 "Talking Cars With Pet Shop Boys". Richard/SniffP/Aquadrome noted towards the end that in his head he'd created The Stig as "Kimi Rai...

Apparently it's actually quite well implemented, reported by people who have driven them. :roll: not for me sir. Now if they could add a pretend clutch and a pretend gear lever that would pretend to baulk if I pretended to rush it too quickly, or could pretend to stall if I didn't pretend to give i...

Jeezus, that is exactly what they have done. And worse.

Now I need to buy a new Tragicometer, with a higher rating.

I hate that crap, but based on that vid and the way the camera moves as it pretend-shifts from pretend-first into pretend-second, it looks like Hoonday have gone one step further and added a pause in the power delivery???? In which case, my Tragicometer may well explode.

This video is the in-car footage of that insane lap, from start to finish.

I declare this to be - rapid.

(I am not sure why this is in Randomness as opposed to YTVids though )

This looks great - they should make it.

(Also for the FTAO of @Jobbo )

Just a short. But a predictable short.

Don't read the replies first as they give it away.

I was like "yeah, all looks a bit too quick and risky, but not seeing anything massive....."

and then.....

(and ironically the pumped arches are much more reminiscent of Lister than TWR - image shows LeMans from 1986).

Now seeing renders of what they intend to produce. Not doing much for me. :? https://www.goodwood.com/grr/road/news/2024/4/the-twr-supercat-is-a-supercharged-v12-restomod/ https://www.goodwood.com/globalassets/.road--racing/road/news/2024/04-march/twr-supercat/twrshot_1final.jpg https://www.goodwood...

Took mrs mik’s E-Tron for a “larger car task” at the weekend. 25 miles from home on an A-Road the car suddenly sang out some loud warning chimes whilst flashing up “Electrical System Fault – Safely stop vehicle!” followed immediately by a 4WD system fault message, and then a warning related to the ...

Merc EQA supplied by Audi to cover us until they have fixed Mrs mik’s etron. That’ll do nicely. Have only taken it up the road and back, but initial thoughts (which will make me look like an ungrateful moany git) : whilst the interior is far from unpleasant, the big vents in the centre are a bit ch...

I thought it was just me. It works on my phone. It is barried on my work flaptop (which does tend to block some images).

Agree - ponies per pound ratio is GOOD

I just rewatched a segment and heard Harry’s comment about Comdort vs Sport setting on the brake pedal. Why indeed? :? Obviously it’s going to be a lot quicker than a std car at higher speeds, but I wonder if it is actually significantly faster at legal velocities - with the torque limiting in 1st &...
