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 &...

When in Florida last year I came across a carpark where reverse parking was banned and punishable by a fine. Oddly it's not the only place in the US where this is the case. I've seen this where the spaces are up against a wall which could be stained by an exhaust if you were an idiot and sat there ...

jamcg Met a couple of dogs from Glasgow Greyhound Trust at a party over the weekend as one of the folks that runs that org was also there. They had a girl (that they have adopted into their home) with only half her jaw remaining on one side (leaving her with a squinty face) who was very sweet and -...

You know when you start thinking about a car and then it seems like you see 3 or 4 of them on every journey. This one is a good spec and it has a 10 year warranty. https://used.toyota.co.uk/approved-used/toyota-supra-coupe-3-0t-gr-special-edition-euro-6-s-s-3dr-ybcdb46000w061283 That does look good...

All this talk of wet belts & bargepoles sounds like a mucky movie....

From the outside this looks like a bit of a fighty traction nightmare, but it seems the clevertronics pretty much deal with it for you.... But will Rich B be "meh" or will he get all frothy? I guess we'll have to wait and see..... :geek: (Harry sporting his Panerai in this vid :?: ) https:...

Some fascinating/scarey insights into the Dallas Airshow crash (P38 & B17 collision in 2022 - RIP to all the crews).


I have no idea why P38 pilot Craig is referred to as "Creg" however.

I still have to resize my photos for imgur, but I agree it's still s good way to do it.

That's weird Duncs - I've never resized a photo for imgur.
