Thanks muchly

OZ cars are gelded as well. Ours are full fat US goodness. Might not be legal in the UK though. When I bought my GT PP 18 months ago it was $NZ93,000, a DH $NZ113,000.

OK, A Karcher part?

He's the only occupant on my ignore list. He's actually quite a well balanced guy, has a chip on both shoulders. To be fair, he has a lot to worry about, they're on their 7th PM in 10 years.

I find that hood up is quite a good reminder it's on charge. In a few years I might have to put a warning card on the hood as well.

I've had two karchers and I'm done with them. The bloody hose tangles if you so much as look at it. Drives me nuts. It's a really bad design, the hose needs a high pressure ball joint at the gun. I might go Stihl next time.

And the weapon of choice is a knife, or machete. Not sure why machetes are so common there, never saw a jungle when I visited.

Yep, not getting at you personally, just an observation.

You have to forgive him Mr Dog, his country is going down the shitter due to wokery and DEI, he doth not knoweth of which he speaks.

I tried it too, it's great idea. Gently accelerating out of a corner it dropped 2 gears for the hill that was coming up. No big drama just a few more revs for the climb. I've never heard of a feature like this in an auto trans. Someone in the design team is a real driver. Good job Mr Enterprise...

I'm always a bit sceptical of wheel dyno figures, they just have too many variables to put too much faith in.

I must try this next drive. There are times when normal kickdown is too violent, and dropping a couple of gears and accelerating more gently is a better option. I've been using paddles to do it, but this sounds like a nice extra option.

If I went boosted I'd probably go Whipple because I like factory support even if limited. The only issue I have is the name, it sounds like a nuns habit, a whimple. Having gone to Catholic schools, I don't want to be reminded of the Nuns.

Funny thing happened. One car on my list might be happening. My wife wants an Abarth 595 or 695. We're currently looking for a good one, but manuals are like rocking horse poo. I did see a 2011 Abarth 595 Tributo, this is the Ferrari tribute model. I don't know what they went for new, but he's...

Kind of off subject, we were watching a vid of a family dinner, not ours. Grandma says "men only want one thing, and it's disgusting". Grandpa says "well, wash it".

A few years ago they made it a legal requirement to indicate your intentions at roundabouts. You would not believe the number of people who said it's not possible to indicate and steer at the same time. I did see a young guy do a magnificent double drift through a roundabout a few years ago...

I should have added that two houses down there's a 351 Ford coupe hotrod. Compared to that mine's an EV

Shouldn't rapid tyre wear be a badge of honour, like miserable mpg?

Very few crashes are actually accidents. Check out car crash vids on the 'net, and I have actually seen this in real time. Many drivers, whether at fault or not, will not take action to avoid an accident, or leave it too late. It's as if they freeze at the wheel. I watched a female driver fail...

My stock active is as loud as I could realistically have. We live in a small private street, houses are close together, and our neighbours are either elderly or have kids. I need my car to be a bit less noisy than one neighbours boi racer sons car, and other neighbours dogs. I like the moral...
