Re: EV Thread

100 litres of petrol, fuel tank, pumps and lines etc would be around 125kg, that’s pretty good going and the weight drops as it’s used.

Lots left on IC engines yet.

Re: Cayman/Boxter RIP.

Those sales figures are genuinely surprising re 911 to Boxster/Cayman ratio. I'd love to be a fly on the wall at these car companies who over the last 5-10 years or so are having to do so much more in the way of software development, UI design and all the security considerations that come with it. ...

Ears always look worse as they seem to bleed really bad.

Hopefully they don’t react badly to normal dog play!

Re: Cayman/Boxter RIP.

Some of the requirements that the EU are imposing sound absolutely insane to me for this UNECE WP.29. From https://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-news/motoring-issues/cybersecurity/ "Of course, most cars have multiple users over the course of their life and WP.29 seeks to ensure that there is no po...

Re: EV Thread

Saloons and estates, I’ve a mental barrier of 2 tons.

SUVs shouldn’t be over 2.3 tons.

Hatches under 1.5 tons.

Super minis 1.2 tons.

When cars are above those figures I just think badly designed lard boxes.

When I kept having issues on the 500e and the wife’s mk1 Focus I switched to only ever using Halfords pre-mix berry and haven’t cleaned a washer nozzle in over 12 years.

Re: The ebay thread

To be fair at least it's only a wrap. That's no more than a days job to pull off, remove the pimp tints, remove wheels, paint callipers silver and stick some OEM wheels on. Then again you might pull off the wrap and find a mess underneath... By the way, have Autotrader removed the feature that comp...

Re: I used to be with "it"

I don’t want to be a Yoof, it’s confusing and complicated.

Although was at a church concert on Friday night with 3 youth bands on and the ones getting up and dancing to The Jam, Bowie, The Killers etc have me hope for a brighter future!

Damn London tourists and nasties.

So at least 4 or more times a year we are off into London. Either food and drink debauchery with the wife, concert etc or a touristy day with the kids. Yesterday was a family day.
