    THE FUTURE vs THE PAST!!

    I don’t agree with all his assumptions. Clearly out of his lane in a couple areas but no one has mentioned ‘modeling’ in this thread. I happened to google CAD in car design recently. First appeared in production automotive design circa 1950’s if memory serves. Modern isnt just EV. Modern...

    THE FUTURE vs THE PAST!!

    That number is just shy of 4400…it’s still up over 22% from 2022. 3rd year on the trot that sales ( deliveries) have increased. Up 34% in Germany, 32% in Belgium, & 26% in France apparently… Europes new ‘ General Safety Regulations 2’ hits in July. Meaning they will have to keep under the ‘...

    THE FUTURE vs THE PAST!!

    I’ll bet no comparison. It's just a turbo 4 banger. Which is why £70K ain’t cheap by any stretch…

    THE FUTURE vs THE PAST!!

    I was watching a senator question some high-flyers in transportation in the US about climate change and their aims and ambitions for the organisations they represented . About a dozen from memory. Asked what percentage of the atmosphere they thought was CO2, the answers varied from @7% to...

    THE FUTURE vs THE PAST!!

    Absolutely. Which presumably means it has to be a compromise of sorts…! ( what’s good for a gearbox may not be the ideal for rings and so on- speculative n my part however…! )

    THE FUTURE vs THE PAST!!

    Without any prescription of "properly" in that assertion, I think that it cannot be anything more than anecdotal. A mathematician will recognise a lack of robustness in the sample.. Ive seen an Alpine being road tested by some UTuber or other. Specifically, an S variant, with sub 1000 miles. He...

    THE FUTURE vs THE PAST!!

    That’s a bit tricky… ! And if you don’t, the warranty is void..?( they probably still data log in the ecu to some extent, so ticking the ‘no’ box re: info sharing doesn’t avoid it) If one buys on finance, it’d be a brave man who ignores it. There are more than a few valid arguments as to why...
