So if the engines are going to be working flat out as generators thereby using more fuel, does that not make the use of a hybrid powertrain pointless?

I think Merc are the only one of the main brands where "Black Series" is a technology and performance moniker rather than a trim level. (their Black Trim options is Night Edition) https://www.mercedes-amg.com/en/home/stories/Black-Series-History.html#:~:text=Ralf%20Sporr%20(RS)%3A%20In,cr...

2000 miles in with the 330e and it’s doing exactly what I bought it for, performance of a petrol with economy of a diesel. Average 51mpg since purchase. You can certainly feel the extra weight and in comfort mode it will understeer a bit but sport mode sharpens it all up, a lot more noticeably than ...

Would totally do this, if I had a 3D printer.

Same here but I guess they'll appear on eBay soon enough. In fact they already are!

What’s it like wearing VR headsets with glasses?

Where are you based? We have a mobile MRI that comes to the prison but I don’t think I can ask for a quick scan!

No, his is an 05 plate.

I binged it at the weekend and agree it's a great watch, really entertaining and well paced. It feels like it gave Guy Ritchie enough space to fill-out the characters and plot lines that wouldn't fit in a 2 hour movie. Just on episode 3, while driving the McLaren " the clutch takes some gettin...

Slight topic twist, which of the dealer options is best/easiest to deal with? FiL is wanting to sell his car (62 plate Mk6 Golf Match 1.4TSi DSG w/70k miles) as he'll probably have to give up driving due to health issues. Either way it is a second car that spends most days sat unused in front of th...

Ah, I completely forgot that - we probably had a full conversation about it and everything :lol: Did you pull the fuse (for obvious sensible reasons)? Neighbour had a mate with an M4 come around the other night with a similar problem, and he said he blew the line through with a compressor, so I mig...

I watched Dune last night and at points the soundbar was deafening but you could still barely hear the dialogue.

Just went to the E46 and it's battery is low (currently charging in the house), and it got me thinking. M135i has stop/start. Eventually it'll get to the stage where it's battery will need a charge or a jump - are there any considerations for stop/start cars when it comes to battery packs jump star...

I bet the newspapers aren’t as heavy as they used to be, too. I remember the Sunday Times 25-30 years ago being reading matter for the whole week. I had a Sunday paper round in the 80s, with ones like the Times and telegraph you had to put them through a bit at a time as you couldn’t fold them to g...

I know nothing about him except The Crow, why would he be killed?

Solid job by Bearman. That comment extends to his race performance too! Very impressive debut, especially as he was thrown into the car last minute. Honestly, some other teams need to take notice of this and get rid of their drivers which have been in F1 for too long, and sign some new drivers whic...

Oh I do hope they collapse!

Indeed, maybe lock the thread?

Why is Sargent in F1 still? Does he have a billionaire father too? The fucker is over a minute behind the next car, he’s never getting up to speed.

His uncle is a billionaire.
