An old Volvo driving through central Stockholm. Something it has done for over 50 years but which will be illegal come January.
End of an era as all petrol and diesel cars will be banned. Even plug in hybrids bought today.

Re: Test drive report
I thought they felt pretty solid when I had a poke around one a while ago. Emmanuel mit V6 is the correct choice.

Re: The ebay thread
Have you seen that Chris Harris has started a series on YouTube on his newly purchased M5 touring? It seems a bit of a money pit so far though!

Re: Your fleet running reports
It makes no sense. Congratulates you that you’ve driven your car more than 90% of others and berates you at the same time for the CO2. The fuckwits surely realise that one leads to the other.
I wouldn’t want my data being tracked like that either and randomly shared out like that.

Re: Lotus Emira
They’ll surely end up in the teens eventually? I see more Emiras in a week in London than I see all the other Lotus models ever made in over a month. They must have already produced more of them than other Lotus ever?

Re: Dangerous beers...
Typical lite Swedish beer due to the 3.5% limit but refreshing and nice hoppy flavour. Would drink again.

See also those car storage warehouses - “central London location” and then you see they’re very much no in central London.

Re: Motorway Mile Munchers
Early ones suffered from snapped crankshafts but that seems to be more of a 2.7l and Land Rover problem, later Jaguar fitted ones seem to not suffer from that. Biggest problem seems to be oil dilution due to DPF cycles - I found a thread with a guy moaning about having to get his oil changed every 2...

Re: Your fleet running reports
I think it’s a limp mode on newer BMWs but also one of those stupidly vague messages which could mean anything from a fuel filler cap not fitted correctly to the engine being close to grenading itself. Used to get it on the i3 whenever it broke an engine mount.

Re: Motorway Mile Munchers
Very caramel and toffee. Don't like the rear screens (always looks naff), but the rest is rather lovely. More Worthers Original if you ask me. I thought it looked like it folds away and hides everything unlike other cars and it does looking on google images. https://images.drive.com.au/caradvice/im...

Now called the Junior. Which is also stupid, perhaps even worse considering the original Alfa Junior was so iconic and this is just a turd.

Just looked at the train, 2 return tickets from Folkestone will cost ...£424.40 Or £350.00 from St Pancras.
The logistics of this are challenging as I'll arrive at Heathrow airport at 8pm on Friday.

Re: “Black Edition”
My dad was moaning about this yesterday. The top spec Audi A8 is called the black edition, which results in the exterior being blacked out and interior mostly in all black. Different colour interior doesn't help as it only changes the seats and the red/cognac leather options don't work very well so ...
