It’s certainly not the case that your feet don’t do any braking in an electric car - I had to do a fast stop the other day and stood on the brake just like you would in an ICE car. Regenerative...
What a ridiculous, dopey video of Americans whooping when they shoot a gun at point blank range and seem pleased to have hit a truck from 15 feet away. America, heck yeah! - glad I don’t live in a...
On my first date with my wife - we’ve now been married 28 years - she apparently noticed my Submariner (bought aged 19 with my first bonus from work - I think it was slightly less than a months wages...
Exactly. And if I lived in a place where that was a common occurrence I’d drive a very boring car indeed with as little appeal as possible.
And 4 years later, my £150 Karcher K4 still lives in the garage, looks knackered and still works perfectly!
Back then it was a fairly easy diy job or any garage could fit them. Most of the time it was a liberal spray of ‘back to black’, a buff with a cloth and job done - then down to Our Price to pick up...
Makes me long for the old black plastic bumpers that acted as protection for the car as opposed to a pristine painted surface ready to be damaged! - and if they did get damaged you just bought a new...
My wife’s friend had a similar scrape in her new car (well, looks similar in the photo) and whilst she was telling my wife how upset she was I popped out to have a look, literally 5 minutes later...
Does the ridge on the crown have a purpose or is is just a design detail? Something about is has always put me off buying one of these - just looks odd imho
I have a BB58 that I wore more or less daily for 18 months and the same thing happened. Sorted eventually in 2 visits to my AD - first time it came back with very rough hand winding, second time it...
If they’d put a decent seat in an MG4, and place it far enough back so it could support a 6 foot 2 17 stone TZ member it would be a good start! - I test drove an MG4 next to my current Cupra Born and...
It’s all a bit confusing imho. The list price of my ICE fiesta last year was £27k. Now Dacia are able to release the electric Spring for £15-16k. Surely an electric Fiesta would sell like...
Ford do seem to have an incredibly small range of cars at the moment and not a single EV I’d buy. The Mach e looks good but too expensive imho. It’s a shame as my Fiesta ST is just about a year old...
Tbh they never really had a particularly recognisable design language - I can spot an Oris or a Sinn, a Rolex, an Omega or a Tudor - a cushion cased Seiko Diver or a Doxa, a Hamilton Khaki etc -...
Anything ‘edc’ which is always a bit Walter Mitty imho. And whilst I find Adrian Barker on his Bark and Jack you tube channel mildly irritating, his wielding of a coffee cup in a faux casual ‘hey...
I remember these doing the rounds a couple of years ago. Totally fake I’m afraid.
Years ago at the height of the lord of the rings releases I sat down for a fried breakfast one morning in Marylebone - in a greasy cafe nothing posh - and sat opposite me was Bernard Hill just...
Rather than being the best of both worlds it strikes me that a hybrid may be the worst. All the complexities, frailties and service requirements of an ICE with the additional weight of a small...
I bought the plastic cased originals for £99 and the steel for £199. They were Seiko diver equivalent priced at the time and TAG was actually more of an aspirational brand then than now imho. ...
Those are drop dead 90’s - or was it 80’s? - classics. Probably a grand each now though?!?
Hasn’t stopped raining here in North Norfolk for months. Various phone apps say things like ‘rain not expected for 2 days’ then literally an hour later it’s raining! Signs afoot of change today...
Low temperatures make a huge difference. Even the change to more balmy weather in the last day has seen the miles/kw jump from 2.9 last week to 4.1 today. I’ve had the car since December so I’m...
Very nice - Diver, smart, chrono and each pretty but purposeful. Make a great trio, and each the best of its kind imho. I’d be inclined to add something else with a splash of colour - or something...
I was really struggling with new varifocal glasses, turns out they were made incorrectly with a much too narrow ‘long distance’ area at the top so I await a new pair.
In regard to contacts, I had...
