Well, that is very interesting.

530 is a phev now as is the merc e300 at 2210kg. I'm not here to argue on the internet just pointing out it's not any heavier than an ICE equivalent. Indeed, it's not light, but for it's spec it's certainly not considered heavy. I'm not looking for EVO driving, just a nice car to waft about in. Gen...

330+ miles on 77kwh isn't average. That's 4kw/m region.

Same cd factor as the Calibra

Wouldn't it be great if H was a viable solution at this level. Sadly it just isn't. Related note, I've managed to sign up for another EV seeing as they're all panicking to meet end of year/quartely goals :lol: Not a fully done deal yet but assuming it goes through, I'm getting an Ioniq6 next. RWD si...

To be fair, he didn't intend taking the Lambo on this trip, and we can see why now. Good vid all the same, nice to see some smooth roads and sun tbh!!

I'm too old for this shit. Although I rather enjoy acting like an old git, I'm spending quite a bit of time with people in their 20s at work, doesn't seem to bother them.

I still throw the odd "yeet" in there, just as a freebie.

My best current driving shoe is actually a cheap pair of Gelert walking shoes, as they're light, vented and cheap as chips. Trying to drive with and precision in my Salomens is not ideal.

I remember that doing the rounds at the time, and same reactions then. They're not great manoeuvres but certainly not worthy of being used for Police propaganda

I don’t know how a Damon good thrashing is any different to a damn good thrashing but I’m sure it’s worth a try 😄 No light on Tuesday after an aggressive warm up. Got caught beyond a dithery old sod first thing this morning and light came back. Grr. It must be cat failing as the car drives fine oth...

Only a couple months off being the anniversary of his passing too.

If you haven’t already, take it for a Damon good thrashing and get it properly hot, might just be throwing a hissy from little use LIterally my first thought once I sat down again, I'll risk taking it to work tmrw. It didn't start bucking like it did when the lambda failed last time, so at least it...

Thanks Mik, that worked just fine after a couple of attempts to pair with the old reader, thanks all.

Now I need to find a half decent sports cat/back box

Buy a £15 obd2 reader from Amazon. Even if it doesn’t give you a full description it will give you a code you can google. Sod waiting a month then having to pay someone to do it edit - the suggestion from above worked - its thrown a code for the cat. Cleared it for now. Annoyingly the cat isn't tha...

Civic update. Having dragged the poor old Civic back into daily use, I managed two weeks before it complained. CEL popped up on the way home tonight. Nothing obvious from the drive-abiity side but it didn't go out on a restart <shrug> . Rang around and local diagnostic places are booked till April?!...

What was the book that showed lots of positioning, riding tips etc for new riders and riders who wanted to improve ? I’m sure there was quite a well known one but I can’t remember it at all. Dave! A twist of the wrist? That's the one I was thinking of tbh. If you want to learn on the job, check if ...

I'd argue that EV gives us a chance for some daring styling tbh, why not do some retro, some futuristic, whatever. I don't want an EV 3 series, I want that concept they showed off. But they won't. They'll just do another standard shitbox clad with some over styled retro looking hatchback body panel...

That's a concept in the attached article.

Maybe holding off so as not to impact potential R4 sales
