I don't know whether to be offended or whack you on the nose with a rolled up newspaper. My experience in driver testing was that the over 70's had better pass rates on their elderly driver tests than the new drivers. The real problem with the elderly is cognitive decline. Ours have to be...

The problem is the knobs behind the wheel.

I'm always intersted at the modern take on "near death" experiences. Most are nothing of the sort. One of mine was hypothermia. I fell asleep outdoors in winter, when they found me my core temp was 36C. Another hour or two and it would have been a very long sleep. And I would have known nothing...

The auto is pretty good, it has a lot more "mush" on take off compared to a DCT. But once moving it's fine, and track mode seems to read your mind. Very clever. If I did buy another, it'd be a Dark Horse, but there'd be sleepless nights over the 10 speed or Tremec.

With my driving, using DI nearly all the time, I'm leaving them in. Hopefully they do work and reduce carbon build up.

I've fired a 1911 and a Browning High Power, but not in NZ. I think I did OK for a newbie. 10 out of 10 in the black with both. I have done a lot of rifle and shotgun shooting though. Good fun, I'd love to own one here but the rules are too expensive to comply with.

Quite a lot of chatter to start. And Poms do have a thing about 80's English cars, I'd have a Delta Integrale before an RS200. But the GTD part was fantastic. God knows how many cars Verstappen has, but he didn't give a damn about panel gaps. Notice that he rarely blinks? The first AI F1 driver...

It looks like oil at night. But bits of skull and brain tissue spread over 50 metres of highway will do the trick.

I was aware of that. Cougar was the right name on the wrong car. But it was a bit close to Jaguar. Not that that matters since Jaguar has had sex reassignment and is now mostly pussy.....cat.

The utter bull sh*it being spouted over an add is ludicrous. Probably because some kindergarten drop out mistook "jeans" for "genes". Down here, it's the opposite. The leader of the Maori Party in Parliament got up one day and said Maoris are genetically superior to all other races in sport and...

I believe the passive safety systems are partly at fault for the increase in numpties on the road. Tell someone their car can detect other cars getting too close, and they'll rely on them, not bothering to look.

Great stuff, that's what I was trying to get my head around.

I went to hardwire mine onto the Mustang, looking at the manual it goes into great depth about the battery control system. This made me hold back in case the constant low voltage/amps input from the maintainer interferes with it. Who's fitted one? On the battery or the red covered connector...

I did see AutoTop NL did 10.1 for a Dark Horse and 10.7 for a convertible. You could take maybe .5 secs off for US spec.

As I said in nother post, when in sport mode, driving slowly, my wife can hear me arrive in the street from her 5th floor office. Brand new, fully insulated, double glazed building. She never heard the last car with an Akrapovic system. She did say it was noticeable, but not annoying.

I doubt he was encouraging it in his post. But, regardless, don't we have enough censorship? Stupidity gets smacked down pretty quickly. As we have seen.

The first DEI pony car?

I don't think it would hurt. The torque converter and oil pumps are still doingtheir thing. You just shouldn't drop it into drive with it revving high.

I've never noticed that. Mind you, we don't get to see the real thing.

In this day and age, it probably would be better to use your own words and just check grammar with AI. Also, I don't know how old most of you regulars are, but I remember when I started driving, cops were thin on the ground and we'd practice slide control in sh**ty old Pommie cars that didn't...
