Re: New new new new Top Gear
I know TG is now dead, but I was listening to the latest Sniff & Smith podcast the other night (which I don't often get a chance to do) Episode 208 "Talking Cars With Pet Shop Boys". Richard/SniffP/Aquadrome noted towards the end that in his head he'd created The Stig as "Kimi Rai...

Re: Randomness
Apparently it's actually quite well implemented, reported by people who have driven them. :roll: not for me sir. Now if they could add a pretend clutch and a pretend gear lever that would pretend to baulk if I pretended to rush it too quickly, or could pretend to stall if I didn't pretend to give i...

Re: Randomness
Jeezus, that is exactly what they have done. And worse.
Now I need to buy a new Tragicometer, with a higher rating.

Re: Randomness
I hate that crap, but based on that vid and the way the camera moves as it pretend-shifts from pretend-first into pretend-second, it looks like Hoonday have gone one step further and added a pause in the power delivery???? In which case, my Tragicometer may well explode.

This looks great - they should make it.

Don't read the replies first as they give it away.

Re: TWR (Lazarus version)
(and ironically the pumped arches are much more reminiscent of Lister than TWR - image shows LeMans from 1986).

Re: Your fleet running reports
Took mrs mik’s E-Tron for a “larger car task” at the weekend. 25 miles from home on an A-Road the car suddenly sang out some loud warning chimes whilst flashing up “Electrical System Fault – Safely stop vehicle!” followed immediately by a 4WD system fault message, and then a warning related to the ...

Re: Car Hire Lottery
Merc EQA supplied by Audi to cover us until they have fixed Mrs mik’s etron. That’ll do nicely. Have only taken it up the road and back, but initial thoughts (which will make me look like an ungrateful moany git) : whilst the interior is far from unpleasant, the big vents in the centre are a bit ch...

I thought it was just me. It works on my phone. It is barried on my work flaptop (which does tend to block some images).

Re: Harry’s Garage
I just rewatched a segment and heard Harry’s comment about Comdort vs Sport setting on the brake pedal. Why indeed? :? Obviously it’s going to be a lot quicker than a std car at higher speeds, but I wonder if it is actually significantly faster at legal velocities - with the torque limiting in 1st &...

Re: Parking
When in Florida last year I came across a carpark where reverse parking was banned and punishable by a fine. Oddly it's not the only place in the US where this is the case. I've seen this where the spaces are up against a wall which could be stained by an exhaust if you were an idiot and sat there ...
