I’m surprised the two door wasn’t killed off everywhere years ago. My local supermarket/school car park/gym is awash with four door Evoques, I think I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of two doors I’ve seen in the last five years.

They were never going to be able to keep it a secret, so much better to exploit the Hulk for all he’s worth; and it doesn’t “work against the intent of the film”, all it means is that we, the audience are in on the joke before the big Hulk reveal. It didn’t reduce the anticipation, it increased it, and did no harm to…

The C5 would certainly be up there in the pantheon of spectacular British failure, but no, not actually the biggest British motoring calamity. That accolade goes to....The Austin Atlantic. A car built with export to the US in mind when post-war Britons couldn’t buy cars at all. This great hope of British industry went…

Actually remarkably long-lived an profitable. Which is baffling, but true.

Since forever. “Britain” isn’t the UK, or to give it’s full title; The United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland.

Not only do they allow them but places like the Isle of Man actively court this kind of practice. For years IoM and the Channel Islands ran VAT avoidance schemes, to the point where large ecommerce companies ran their operations there. As soon as that loophole was closed they ran on to the next one. Its no coincidence…

Almost every single time a shooter has been stopped by a citizen its been an off-duty cop or a soldier; people actually trained to use weapons. But even then, the initial advantage is almost always going to be with the shooter, just like in this case.

...after 26 people were killed. So, yeah, great.

I’m actually really surprised by his comments on Europe. Thanks to VW itself diesel sales are crashing all over Europe as customers have become nervous about getting stuck with a worthless diesel in a couple of years as governments whack NOx duties on top of CO2 tax and probably ban diesels altogether from large…

Heh, don’t see mentions of Widnes very often. My Mum’s from there originally. Its a big Rugby League town rather than football.

“attempted murder” is a thing.

As I was watching it, all I could think of was “how will they square this with ToS because surely Kirk would know this man is a mass-murderer and war criminal?” And they squared it by...completely ignoring it and going with “comedy”. Prequels suck.

I would assume the Supra would be under embargo until both Toyota and BMW are ready to announce both cars. An American motorshow would make the most sense as that’s where the Z4 and Supra will sell best.

So this is their Audi Q2 “lifestyle” rival I guess? Which also has its logo on the C-pillar, so original work there BMW, well done.

Its out in the UK and Ireland. I saw it yesterday.

None of that has anything to do with the original editorial which referred to the American D-Day landings.

They’re not. If anything neutrals often seem to have a soft spot for Spurs. If I was a southern-shandy-drinking poof I might even be a Spurs fan. But I’m a manly northerner so fuck that.

Uber is simply a bet on automation arriving in time to transform its business model before the cash runs out. A bet that’s likely to miss by some distance. As for Tesla, is it really a car maker, or is it an infrastructure play? If its the latter, it has a future, but if its the former it will ultimately be…

Most Range Rover drivers of any type never go near dirt. They all want an RR that can drive well on the road.

All mammals reduce production of this protein after “childhood” (except for some humans), which in some adult humans ultimately allows the disaccharide molecule lactose to continue into the large bowel without breaking down.
