Re: Let's talk about cars

LOL. As I said, a ridiculous car that I’d never own personally, which is a shame, as it doesn’t look to bad for an SUV, especially from the front.

Re: Let's talk about cars

Our ops vehicle at work has the stop start feature. It’s massively annoying, especially if the engine cuts out during a radio transmission and it briefly interrupts the message. What’s even more...

Re: Let's talk about cars

Traded in the ecoboost and finally picked up a GT. Plan to keep this long term and start modding like crazy (starting by taking off the ridiculously loud exhaust that’s on it). Had the ecoboost for 4...

Re: Let's talk about cars

Thought some of you may find these interesting. It’s an interview with Chris Harris. He doesn’t do too many. I’m a big fan of his. I think he’s breathed some much needed fresh air into Top Gear, it’s...

Re: Let's talk about cars

After being a car nut most of my life, I now couldn’t care whether my car is manual or auto. I bought my first bike 4 years ago, and it totally opened my eyes. I used to wonder why a load of my...

Re: Let's talk about cars

Haha! The wife has a CX9 which has quite a bit of space in it. I had a 150 lariat sport as a loaner when my old work vehicle needed work. I actually liked it...... for a bit. The V6 ecoboost engine...

Re: Let's talk about cars

It simply boils down to drivers over here don’t give a flying s*** about anyone else. No indication, sitting in the outside lane without a care in the world........ I used to love driving. I now hate...

Re: Let's talk about cars

When I worked for NHTSA they had a 1 to 5 scale for autonomous cars with 5 being full autonomy. A year ago, we were at 2. I would suspect we are still at that number, a fair fair way from truly...

Re: Let's talk about cars

so I’ve been in this and my mother in laws I3. Once you get up to speed, all you hear is tire noise, as you would on an upmarket car anyway. It’s only at low speed, the silence is weird. With the...

Re: Let's talk about cars

Radio’s gone down in the work vehicle so I’m having to use a standby vehicle, which just happens to be an electric Kia Soul. Now there is no way I’d own an electric vehicle as my daily driver, but I...

Re: Let's talk about cars

I assume your talking about the latest model? The ops vehicles we drove at Heathrow were older rangers. They were good solid machines. Way better than the L200’s that replaced them.

Re: Let's talk about cars

Can’t speak about the 4Runner, but our Forester cost an arm and a leg every time something went wrong with it. And something often went wrong with it.

Re: Let's talk about cars

I’m starting to loose count the amount of times I’ve watched the first episode of the new series. Mustang, Charger, Camero, Senna all in one episode! Plus it’s my first time watching it in 4K which...

Re: Let's talk about cars

Thats fine for many people. Bores the living **** outta me. If you use your car for track days, or you solely take enjoyment from winning traffic light grand prix’s, automatic boxes are superior....

Re: Let's talk about cars

Sad today. The new Mustang GT500 details were released. It would seem it’s only available as an automatic : (. I know auto’s are faster, and this car is built for speed, but a big chunk of these are...

Re: Let's talk about cars

The markonline1 household upgraded their fleet just before Christmas. I traded in my 2006 mustang..... for a new mustang. Decided to buy the wrong engine again, and plump for the Ecoboost. It’s a...

Re: Let's talk about cars

Wow! That’s some memory LOL.
Yep, I’ve changed my mind, although as I said, if I owned one, I’m not sure if the novelty would wear off. I spent my working life at Heathrow in a Mitsubishi L200 and...
