Hmmm... This one smells like Gordon Murray’s T27/iStream car right? It looks suspiciously similar to the Yamaha Motiv that is (or would be) based on that platform.

The M3 is 1.5s slower around the track. Those who didn’t want to (or couldn’t) watch the video, you’re welcome.

With most 250(ish) GB SSD drives retailing at around $100-120, I don't think there's a problem with that. SSD drives are getting cheaper and cheaper, so maybe larger SSD's won't necessarily mean more expensive Chromebooks.

For a moment I thought there was no windshield. Now that would have been sexy.

I'm quite sure WiFi is a physiological need these days.

Hello Ian,
Why did you decide to make the current XJ so much more muscular than the old one? I like how you moved away from the classic design of the earlier models, but I've never understood why you didn't keep the slender, nimble looking profile of the pre-2009 models.

OK, I'm to say one that I know it's not the best sounding cheap car: The Golf Mk7 GTD.

It's still a diesel, and it's not that cheap... but for a reasonably priced diesel its sound is amazing (thanks to some exhaust trickery):

I'm not a chopper expert, but I've heard that is an extremely difficult thing to do...

Last year I was living in Glasgow, and I made some good friends there. Fortunately nobody I know was in that crash.

Apparently it was a police helicopter, the rotors stopped (engine failure maybe?) and it fell "like a stone", according to the witnesses. That must have been a horrifying sight. At least the helicopter…

Maybe for you it doesn't sound like a V6 because it's high pitched... but that comes with the high revs, so it makes a lot of sense.

Great, thank you! In the past, most of these websites didn't include Ryanair/Easyjet/other cheap airlines. I'm really glad most of them do now.

I don't like them either... but when the price is 10 times lower, I'm glad that I can suffer Ryanair for 3 hours and have 400€ more in my bank account.

Although it's not exactly a ticket, here's something that might be useful for the European Jalops. Drungli is a website that lets you choose a date and a departure airport... and it will show you all the places you can find cheap flights for. It's great if you want to go on a trip but you don't know where to!

It's not that flawed, I've driven one and it's a good car. However, it's not as sporty as you'd expect (and to buy a dull compact you can get a Golf) and its price tag is hard to justify. It's also well made, but the buttons and switches seem to have been placed randomly around the dash:

Then it's a perfect match.

It looks like we may be able to expect some cool stuff from Nissan at the Tokyo Motor Show in November. A new report says they'll be showing off a sports car concept designed to battle the Subaru BRZ, and something a little more "crazy."

I hadn't realized, but you're right!! In German the word for key is Schlüssel, which is pronounced (more or less) like that.

It's an all-new platform. The next 300C will also have this platform, as the next big Alfa Romeo, the Gran Turismo Coupé replacement, and the next Dodge Charger and Challenger. This is not the old W211-based platform.
