  1. Exactly. It’s not going to be anything near as exciting/interesting as we’d want, which is a massive shame.
  2. Triple pea roast now
  3. FAKE NEWS FAKE CAMERA FAKE LENS FAKE GEAR

    Honestly, unless you're planning on serious head work, cams etc then it doesn't make any difference. Anything other than stock will see an improvement, it just matters on what you want it to look like and how deep your pockets are.
  5. I buy a car for how it drives, not what it looks like. Driver, not poser

    Well it’s not, but it’s less restrictive and my OCD prefers one either side

    With track day limits in mind, aim for as quiet as possible. You’d be better off running two setups, one for the track (OEM) and one for the road (whatever you like). Best of both worlds that way.
  8. Glorified hatchback? Exterior looks aside, it knocks spots off the 370 in absolutely every department. But then so it should, as it’s not ten years old.
  9. Surely the ISS is fake news? I mean, how can it be orbiting a flat earth...
  10. Really not worth the bother. Move on, life’s too short.

    Best? Lightest and least restrictive, so arguably a true dual would be best. However, you’re talking fractions and tbh I’d just get the one you like the look and sound of. By all means spend £2k on a titanium job if you can afford it, but otherwise there’s not a lot in it really.
  12. What a load of clickbaiting nonsense that article is.
  13. The key word was ‘rhetorical’.
  14. Yes... BMW... Yes... The dark side is this way...
  15. Agreed. It’s good we’re seeing plenty of new EVs coming, but I’m very concerned we’re not seeing any substantial increase in network capability for charging, both at home and more significantly on the road. I know you need demand first, but it’s quite clear now that many (if not all) manufacturers are progressing rapidly with RVs so where’s the infrastructure? It’s more a rhetoric question than anything.
  16. Well, in fairness that is wider, so I guess I got what I asked for I'm only being a pest as I can't decide whether I absolutely adore that, or it's too much with the wheels. I think the former though. Massively '90s in style, which gets the seal of approval from my ageing bones anyway
  17. The one where you say to her that when she starts paying for the cars herself, she gets to choose what she drives round in?
  18. There you go then, smaller motor and limit the throttle. Job done.

    Ring pile up

    https://www.bridgetogantry.com/video-watch-that-14-car-pile-up-from-a-new-angle-and-try-your-best-to-heed-the-advice/ Still wanna drive the Ring with no insurance?
  20. Needs a wider shot to really see it.
  21. What we really need is more EVs focused on range, rather than power. EVs make perfect sense as commuting vehicles, so why not play to their strengths? Build a car with 0-60 of 7secs and a range of 500 miles, not one of 3.5secs and 250.
  22. Nope, they’ll just tax EVs harder based on their weight, because heavy ol’ batteries cause the vehicles to dig into the road surface harder. Or more likely they’ll just charge more based on power, because more electricity needs to be produced from fossil fuels. Or nuclear, so there’s waste costs to pay for. Or from renewables which cost a bomb and need paying for.
  23. That's tighter than I'd be comfortable with. My last garage was pretty tight with the 911 in, and that included a skinny tyre at the back for me to drive into to nudge so I knew when the back end would fit The 6er isn't even close to going into the current garage. Measured it, realised it wasn't going to ever be comfortable, gave up and parked it outside.
