I’m more amazed that a Hyundai even has a manually lockable 4x4 system

Me too so I googled it, it’s not really a locking diff
google ai wrote:AWD Lock (Standard AWD Konas)
Function: Locks the all-wheel-drive system to send power equally to front and rear wheels for enhanced grip.
When to Use: Deep snow, thick mud, or icy inclines at low speeds (below 20-25 mph).
How it Works: Press the "Lock" button (usually near the shifter) to engage; a green icon appears.
Automatic Disengagement: Switches back to normal automatic AWD mode once you exceed 20-25 mph.

standard start up process for e46M3. turn key, press and hold DiSCo button. otherwise be prepared for the car to simply cut all the power when it detects any slip.

Someone's likely updating their CV over Christmas....



(probably someone on the production team, given it was a pre-recorded bit inserted into a live broadcast)

Gotta love ratchet straps!
The Evo forum really is a shadow of its former self. I remember when the internet was for the elite and now they seem to let any spastic on

S2000 guy won’t shut up about S2000s

An Honda S2000, yesterday

Two years after buying a Honda S2000, 33-year-old IT manager Breverton Smee still won’t shut up about Honda S2000s, colleagues reported this week.

‘It doesn’t matter what the situation, somehow he manages to make it about S2000s,’ sighed work mate Manton Gull. ‘When it’s sunny, he says it’s good S2000 weather. When it’s raining, he tells everyone he “better be careful with those 240 horses”. The other day someone mentioned the Sugababes and he immediately said “There’s three of them, they’d be stuck if they all wanted to travel in an S2000, which is of course a highly focussed two seater”. There is literally no conversation he can’t make about Honda fucking S2000s.’

‘This is beyond an obsession,’ added colleague Janiz Cress. ‘Every time the coffee machine in the office kitchen starts whirring he says “VTEC’s kicked in! Just like on an S2000”. The guy’s an idiot. I mean, what sort of grown man has a picture of their own car on their computer and phone and T-shirt?’

Sources say that Smee has several nicknames for his bright yellow Honda include ‘The S2K’, ‘The Stook’ and ‘The Love Banana… although of course the S2000 actually has excellent torsional rigidity’.

‘The other day I even heard him call it “The Japanese Ferrari”,’ Mr Gull noted. ‘Although as unbelievable bores go, it could be worse. He could own an actual Ferrari.’
