Re: Decent car YouTubes
To be fair, modern cars don’t go quicker because they keep making the engine restrictors smaller, probably as a result of that and the flying cars of the late 90s.
The v12 engine bmw put in their X5 lm made more power in that than in the lmp car it came out of.

Re: Jobbo interior
The whole of that Merc looks like you're seeing it through green glass. Brilliant. I remember being at a services somewhere and seeing a relatively new merc clk with what looked like a bright Smurf blue interior and thinking it was pretty cool. Then the owner came back, opened the door and it was j...

They’ve also claimed they’re now making 1000 a week yet delivered less than 4000 since they started delivering in December. I know it takes a while to ramp up production, but seems like quite a difference, especially as there’s supposed to be an insane waiting list, you’d think they’d be shipped out...

Re: Teh Spotted Thread
One of the few modern cars I actually desire.
Doubt they’ll ever get cheap enough for me to buy one though

Re: Your fleet running reports
The update you’ve all been waiting for, finally managed to remove the handbrake grip, so I could make the final piece 😄 https://i.imgur.com/NzRg1xj.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/ZqgKSid.jpeg Wish I could find some of the plain red bolster fabric to do the sides of the arm rest as it looks a little lost w...

Just seen a video showing the issue, and yeah, if the cover is held on that poorly it’s east to see how it could get jammed! https://www.facebook.com/share/v/96r1hueF7ETw7vMe/?mibextid=WC7FNe Not sure if Facebook links work, or if you need to be logged on. But yeah, it’s a stainless plate over a pla...

Re: Your fleet running reports
The compact now has a fresh mot with no advisories.
Looking forward to using it again. Added bonus is any future mots will be well into more daylight months instead of the depths of winter!

Re: Alfa Milano Jr.
It’s definitely not good looking, but it’s no worse than most of the crap out there. Just very meh.
How long before people start copying the grille for older Alfas?

Less weight but higher centre of gravity.

Re: Your fleet running reports
My headlining is exactly the same, not got around to doing anything about it. Seriously tempted to just strip the foam and paint it black. Would that not increase the cabin noise quite a lot? I would have thought headlining plays a big part in it. I’d imagine it’s part of the whole sound deadening ...

Re: Your fleet running reports
Harry, I have seen your steering wheel - I'm still trying to work out if I love it or hate it...😀 It’s mine and I feel the same 😄 It was a spare, the trim pieces come out ( have seen them colour coded from the factory on some individual trim cars ) and I had some cloth offcuts so thought I’d give i...

Re: Your fleet running reports
Hmm. I guess you’d still need to do the same thing, removing the sticky gunk, if you wanted paint to stick / not be all lumpy. You’d have to do something, but I’d think the solvents in the paint might mix with the residue and not affect it too much, would be easy enough to test a small area without...

Re: Your fleet running reports
They all do to some extent, this is the worst of the four I’ve owned, the mega mile four door the least saggy. For something that just has to be presentable rather than pretty, yep some satin black paint would do the job and never have to worry about it coming off again. A wire brush was the easiest...

Have been finishing my equaliser install. Trying to keep everything hidden isn’t easy. Control box is nicely tucked in the space a passenger airbag would go if it had one 😂 Also removed these horrible chrome sill covers which had started corroding and going lumpy. https://i.imgur.com/Bf6dNue.jpeg Sw...

Re: Your fleet running reports
A bit concerning really. Would be more understandable if it was doing 40k a year up and down the country, but there can’t be that many conventional cars needing £6k of engine work at 30k and under 4 years old. I know people will say but it’s cutting edge new technology etc, but come on, electric mot...

Re: Teh Spotted Thread
I saw an in the wild photo of one yesterday for the first time, if it wasn’t for the mini badge I never would have guessed it was a mini. Even then I thought it was a random Chinese thing with a badge stuck on.
