Re: New car incoming…

I had 318ti in Sienarot with red cloth seats (minus the nineties casino pattern). Was a lovely car. I applaud this purchase.

Re: No F1 thread?

Comparing Formula E to Formula 1 is like comparing Holiday on Ice to Olympic figure skating.

Both cool in their own way but not the same sport.

Re: Le Mans 2020

I've been fortunate that a friend has lent me her Sky Go account so I can cast it from browser to main TV. However, someone told me you can purchase access in the WEC app and cast it from there which may be worth exploring. $15NZD for access to the race weekend, $20NZD for the whole season, so assu...

Re: No F1 thread?

Look how late the braking is for Les Combes around 35secs. :shock: It is shocking. For comparison, in the old Alfa GTAm RACE car, I arrive at roughly 190 kph and have to brake as hard as I possibly can at the 100m sign to even attempt to make it through Les Combes. Apples and oranges, maybe, but it...

Re: Is Martin Brundle a good commentator?

You don't know how lucky you are with (most of) the F1 commentators you have on the British channels. I mostly have to watch my motor sport on German outlets and they come nowhere near Brundle et al when it comes to knowledge and wit. I do remember Ben Edwards and John Watson commentating for Eurosp...

Re: FTAO of mobile phone owners/users

Unrelated: dropped my iPhone X in the pool and I can confirm it is water resistant. By the time I'd jumped in (clothed) and got it out, it had been submerged for a solid 7-10 seconds. Never stopped working.

Back on topic: I use a leather Apple case because IAACHM (see above).

Re: Who still frequents a pub?

Being a continental lifter, I always go to the pub whenever I'm in England, which is not often unfortunately. I love everything about them and it pains me that we don't really have an equivalent over here. We do get the occasional Paddy's/Murphy's/Whatever's Irish Pub, but they tend to be large, unf...

I have no idea what Skoda salesmen tell their customers, but they seem to think they're in a race with pretty much everything on the road. Whichever car I happen to be in, there's always one up my arse. #requote

Re: Your fleet running reports

First roll out with the Falcon in Spa-Francorchamps went well. Car feels solid and fast (2'58"411). A few minor adjustments (bigger tank, second pump) and it'll be ready for the Six Hours. What surprised me most is the sheer grunt of the engine and the effortless way it pulls right through the ...
