Didn’t know there was a another city with orange subway interiors. Helsinki metro went for orange in the 70's and after a attempt in the late 90's to change the color it has now come synonymous with the metro and people rather just embrace it.

Fifth Gear was going on for well over a decade and I guess it even returned recently. There were different presenters and different styles, though it was always more dry than Top Gear. I quite liked Jason Plato, Tiff and Vicki. It was at Its worst when it jumped too much into the Top Gear mold - especially as they did…

Renault own 43% and has the same % voting rights. Nissan has zero say on Renault’s business when it comes to voting rights.

Yeah that’s what I’m wondering. They can kick and scream, but the votings rights are still over 43% for Renault on what happens in Nissan, while Nissan has 0% say on Renault.

Renault owns 43% of Nissan and 43% of the voting rights. So Renault has a lot to say on Nissan’s operations.

Though it makes total sense for them to focus on the market they sell most of their cars with the limited battery availability. Tesla does the same with US.

I feel like LNG makes more sense at the moment. There are quite a bit of good examples there already of ships using LNG as its primary propulsion energy. Example part of Viking Lines fleet using LNG for 7 years with the larger ship Viking Line Glory being ready in two years. Carnival Cruise also has one LNG ship with…

Cars of the people was perfect TV as far as I was concerned. I would love another Oz and James, but James mentioned on a interview that he didn’t like the long period of time he had to be away from home. Don’t think it will be repeated unfortunately.

Absolutely and train freight makes a lot of sense in US as well. There’s not much you can do in Central Europe with the huge electrified train networks build for passengers and not tonnages. Though, places like Finland and Sweden where you have the room and no existing dense sprawling network have had easier time at…

Most EU countries adhere to the 22 meter limit as it in any case rarely makes much sense with the density of population. 22 meter limit became a thing when EU directive required ABS brakes back in the day. Sweden and Finland are the only two EU countries that have accepted over 22 meter trucks and those are actively…

Many of the historical grand prix circuits of the 50's had heavy banked curves. Be it the AVUS track near Berlin, Brooklands or Monza (Monza Oval).

It’s quite rare it happens 300kph on straight with DRS open and direct rim contact, and that’s the damage you get. It’s usually half the speed entering to a corner when you get contact.

I will never understand this either. People having to make their connecting flights is of course whole other deal, but that seems to be very small percentage of the people standing usually seeing the amount of people the attendants direct to the front.

And concerning the wind tunnel limitations that have been in place for some years already don’t make much of a difference.

Something they absolutely did right in the older graphic package of 2008 and that slanted design that came after was just keeping the interval tower for the whole grid on the screen a lot.

Relating to Kimi. When Kimi was granted the Sauber F1 tests he was first given two short stints where they would not tell him that the second stint would have significantly less fuel and they were expecting 1 second faster laps. Something Kimi delivered.

You wanna talk about corporate trophies? Nascar has everybody won there. Also, I love how every trophy needs to read “Winner”. How would you know other wise?

The exact counterpart for Germany and Europe would be Siemens that is over 170 year old 85 billion annual revenue company that does everything from nuclear plants, trains, factory automation, power and gas and whatnot.

Must be. Around here in the Nordics 3 series was 72% wagons in 2017. I would imagine A4 and C class have even higher share in here, especially A4. I’m not even sure when was the last time I’ve seen A4 that wasn’t an avant.

There’s no penalty even outside war at times. Dutch ASML is the sole provider globally of the +50 million photolithography machines (essentially the machines that form the complicated nanometre patterns to silicon wafer) used to make every single high end CPU and SoC on mobile, desktops to servers.
