Of course. And high voltage at that. 😁 But we use it for vacuum cleaners and laptops, not for cars.

I've got 400V at my holiday house. No big deal. I'm still alive. :) Besides, it's 400V between two phases, not between each phase and ground. It's still 230V between each phase and ground. Apart from one strange-looking socket where my three-phase heater is plugged in, every other socket in the...

Yup. Same thing, only bigger.

Because that's what they actually are.

Indeed. And the same can be said about EVs.

We may have a choice if we get enough people to think the same. If we get enough people to think with their own heads instead of blindly swallowing the official propaganda. And yes, I do intend to enjoy my real, proper car for as long as I can. :like:

I don't care how fast it will be. It could make 2000 bhp and go from 0 to 60 in five milliseconds. I still won't be interested. It could be the fastest vacuum cleaner in the world. It could be faster than a rocket. But I don't care. I will still want a car, slow as it may be.

Regarding autonomous vehicles, I think Jeremy Clarksom summed it up pretty well. The creator of an autonomous car should take it to Bolivia and drive it down the Death Road in full auto mode, while he isn't allowed to touch any of the controls. If he arrives at the other end of the road with no...

Thanks, Paul. I went for a short drive today, and on my way back I met a dark red Mustang coming the other way. That's precisely the colour mine's going to be. It goes by many names; when I placed the order it was called Red Hot Metallic, now it's apparently called Lucid Red or Red Carpet. Both...

I've ordered one, which is supposed to be delivered later this year, but now I have second thoughts about it. I'm sure the car is awesome - after all, I've test driven it and loved it. But I wish I had done my homework before taking the plunge. I wish I had discovered and browsed these forums...

Actually, no, that's not the reason I don't believe in the Mustang anymore. Quite the contrary, our crappy roads are precisely the reason why I want a fast and powerful car. Having very few motorways, and a lot of wavy two lane roads, where overtaking opportunities are very few and far between...

Whenever I read about the Mustang's problems I think of Jeremy Clarkson. He often says that to him interesting cars are like interesting people, i.e. flawed in one way or another. That's why he loves Alfas or Lamborghinis, or why he finds an excitable dog that makes a mess of the house and...

Indeed, you would not. But the buzz you get from a Mustang is just one of many kinds. A special car can offer you buzz and enjoyment in many ways, none of which is inherently better than the others. For instance, speaking of powerful saloons, there's certainly a lot of enjoyment in fooling the...

It may be a saloon, but there's nothing boring about it, especially when it has the right engine. Besides, let's not forget the second-hand market. That kind of money will get you a superb low-mileage BMW M4 in perfect condition, to name just one option. I am willing to buy a GT at its current...

I've been given a quotation of a little over fifty thousand euros for an XF with a 3.0 liter V6 petrol engine and RWD, which is certainly no slouch. Admittedly, that won't keep up with a Mustang in a drag race, but on the other hand in Europe we don't care about drag races as much as we care...

I wonder how much the hybrid doohickey will add to the cost. The current GT is very expensive as it is. It's close to fifty thousand euros around here, which is Jaguar teritory already.
