Don’t worry, Trump is going to fix the pesky low tax thing for you; you too will be able to feel just like an Indian.

This. “Ultimate driving machines” mean less and less when you’re stuck in traffic all day and BMW interiors are well behind the curve in comparison to Audi, Mercedes or even Volvo. There’s nothing wrong with the underlying infotainment or control systems (iDrive is better and more intuitive than its rivals), its just…

Two times when it all falls apart for Australian drivers; Christmas, when half the population seems to be pissed (they even have “double jeopardy” driving penalties over Christmas), and when it rains, as you saw on this video.

If its a 68 year old building they can be as “flushable” as you like, but that really only applies to the main drain, they can fuck up the house plumbing big time.

One no seatbelt incident, which was done for effect anyway. Wearing helmets? In road cars? You get this is a TV show where they talk to camera inside cars right? When they need to wear helmets (e.g. racing, obvious risk of collision, possibly intentionally), they do.

Alfa 1 - 145 Cloverleaf. Red. Looked like a breadvan, interior made of egg cartons. Never missed a beat, nothing fell off and I drove it all over Europe and had fun every mile. I was hooked.

Sorry, who regards the T-90 as “the world’s top tank” apart from Russian trolls? (I note with interest that the Wiki for the T-90 has been got at by the Russians).

Aargh! Flashbacks. My worst ever student job (actually most of my other student jobs were great) - putting those straws onto WD-40 cans with a rubber band. On the night shift.

I think we’re agreeing. I meant I’ve been saying 4-door coupes are not a problem.

I’m assuming this is Audi A5 Sportback rather than A7 sized? If so, it might do OK. The A5 has a nice interior but I think the external styling of the latest one is pretty lumpen; this is a much cleaner design apart from the fussy headlights.

So this is the CLS replacement? But more expensive because AMG?

I’ve been saying this on here for years. “Coupé” doesn’t mean what you think it does.

De Valera didn’t “turn to religion” he wanted Catholicism at the heart of Irish society from the start. And that, along with the bucolic pastoralism crap that ended up with an entirely unnecessary (and unwinnable) economic war with the British is why Ireland remained so poor for so long.

I’m calling shenanigans on that shit; you can’t default to “blame the Brits” for this one. The Catholic church was given the keys to the kingdom by the likes of Devalera and the Irish state, including the Garda, knew full well what the church was up to (and indeed colluded on the adoption racket) for decades.

What’s that sound I hear? The sound of an F-Pace product manager weeping in the corner.

Central fillers weren’t all that. In countries like the UK, where your car is wet and filthy all the time, you had to lean across the car to fill up and inevitably got your clothes dirty.

What do these central fins actually do, aerodynamically speaking? I’m assuming its something to do with stopping turbulent airflow hitting the rear wing, but Mercedes seem to have a different view.

Why the hell would you import something to the UK? Sterling is in the toilet - take your 30k - exchange it and buy a Golf R. Which is absolutely the most car you will ever need in London.

9. I reverse-commuted out of London for years. Its a thing.
