I want them to make cars as wacky as Toyota’s Will division, just because the world can never have too much craziness.

My wife really didn’t like the strong smell of gasoline/petrol splashing around in the trunk of my modified Talbot Sunbeam Lotus. Next to the battery. She did have a point, so I got that fixed before it all turned into a deadly fireball.

It’s a little worrying how long it took me to find any images of a correctly-loaded 911 on a trailer:

Artisan level 1: Jeep Panels.

They made an electric version, and I so wanted them to call it the e-fluence. Sadly, they did not.

The 12V battery runs the accessories and initiates the startup for the drive motor/generator. All battery-electric cars have a 12V battery tucked away for this purpose. 

They are certainly very thorough. The details you can access are quite amazing, until you consider what they must be charging for their services, and then it all makes sense ;)

As you mentioned, there are a few of these benchmarking companies. The one I’ve heard of previously is the curiously-named A2Mac1. I think they’re European, but now have Global reach. It’s clear that this sort of expertise is highly sought-after.

I took this one yesterday, and I’m very happy with it (mainly due to the subject matter):

The UK makes and exports things, but it’s also a big market for imports from the EU. Any EU politician who pushes for severe tariffs will need to consider the negative effect on their own country’s economy. I’m sure things will level out eventually, but politicians operating on the time until the next election will…

It’s a warning to the politicians not to mess it up more than anything else.

Anyone who had money in any financial institution or investments of any value were very worried. I guess the guys who’d already moved all their assets into gold might have been feeling smug.

I don’t remember that. I do remember it being the straw that broke the camel’s back that initiated a global economic meltdown which affected the UK just as much as the US. Any pointing and laughing that may have happened would have been very very short-lived.

They have a list of 100 people they believe were involved. They’ll study their findings a bit longer, and then I suspect some people will be invited to the Hague to explain themselves.

The only people more delusionally invested in craziness than die-hard Trump supporters are those responding to the various articles about this on Russia Today’s website. What a time to be alive, etc.

I see. It’s the fastest because it doesn’t have the 155mph limiter which is applied to the Audi SQ7 with which it shares a funky engine. Get a life, Bentley! It’s also a couple of hundred kilos heavier than the Audi, but I don’t see them boasting about that...

For now all I can hope is that the Aussie hoons put the supercharger on an electronic clutch for a dash-mounted switch, Mad Max-style.

Original list price: $319,000

We use the term “high-sided vehicle” in the UK whenever there is strong wind in the area of large bridges and exposed high-altitude routes. For example, the radio traffic reports will often include the phrase “The Forth Road Bridge is closed today to High-Sided Vehicles due to strong winds”. How Rolls Royce thinks…

I found one of these beasts at a Military museum in Togliatti, Russia.
