Re: Have you EV’d?

I thought I'd only been in a Tesla Model 3 as a passenger, but reading Nissan Leaf jogged my memory that I drove one at the o2 arena years ago - Nissan had some sort of experience centre there, no idea if they still do. It was obviously forgetful! I'm sure they've improved a bit since then, but I ju...

Re: Decent Recent TV

Just catching up with SAS Who Dares wins, the celeb edition. It was funny seeing Matt Hancock getting a dressing down at the end of episode 5 :D

Re: EV Thread

The full video is in the decent YouTube videos thread - worth a watch. It was crazy seeing how quick the battery drained throughout the course of the lap. I'm not too sure what happened after a certain point, but it definitely seemed restricted towards the end of the lap, wasn't accelerating anywher...

Re: Forza Motorsport

I downloaded it via Game Pass to have a quick go. Played about an hour and got bored. It's not really moved on from FM7 in my opinion and made some odd choices around progression. It's been 6 years since FM7 was released, so no idea how this one could have been rushed out, but I know it's been delay...

Re: Forza Motorsport

This is the first Forza game since 3 I've not pre-ordered. I'd normally go for the highest version as well with VIP etc. I'm not sure what it is about this new version, but it's just not really interested me. The few reviews I've seen make it sound like it will be quite the grind. I barely play my X...

Re: I'd be faster than Lewis, but slower than Max

I've seen that he's doing some racing with Bilstein at the ring with a couple of other YouTubers - I got recommended SuperGT channel which he's mainly done sim racing, but has done karting and now progressed up to a 3 series. They might be doing the 24 hour race, but I'd have to go looking for an up...

Re: Car crime wankers - ND but that’s the problem

Being from Portsmouth I would say that's a Southampton thing, but I had my car broken into outside my dad's house in Portsmouth. Stole my sunglass... bastards.

Re: Harry’s Garage

Interesting - I can't say I've seen a new C63 at all. Are they even out yet? Anecdotally, I do see a lot of M3/M4s, so guessing more people went that route over the Mercedes this time round.

Re: What does dinny mean?

Being from Portsmouth, I heard dinlo / din (dinny not as much, but I did hear it) quite a bit growing up. Don't hear it as much these days, but it always meant a bit of an idiot to me. We do have some odd slang in Portsmouth! Does remind me being in the office and someone saying can you shut the doo...

Re: 992 S/T

It's a model from the late 60s according to the Top Gear article.. "Designed by Porsche as a present to itself on the 60th anniversary of the 911 (there’s 1,963 planned in honour of the birth year), the S/T revives a grand old name from 1969 when a 911 S was sprinkled with a touch of motorsport...

Re: 992 S/T

Is it essentially the 911R in 992 form with a slightly different name? It does look good, and I'd love to have one though. Shame I lack the funds :lol:

Re: Twitter

Saw a post on Reddit saying Elon tried to rebrand PayPal to X.com in 2000, but was forced out by the board and replaced as CEO by someone else. So he's been waiting 23 years to roll it out again. Surely it will always been known and referred to as Twitter? And as an update for Threads as well, I see...

Re: Crap new Singer

I did see a clip on Instagram of that car at Goodwood. It did look disproportionately wide in video. Not sure I liked it in video form, just looked a bit odd.

Re: It’s time for another forum cycle/vehicle disagreement

They have proper bike lanes along Southsea sea front, but people use them to casually walk in or through and pay no attention to cyclists. I used to cycle down there a lot during lockdowns, but it's just way too busy these days which is a shame. I never really understood why people would walk in the...
