And that might means something if they weren’t insistent on adding more street circles with little overtaking opportunity.

Now you’ve done it, I really want to see the Ecosport Raptor.

Gone are the days of stuff from books being general knowledge, sadly. Mind you, when Dragonlance finally gets plundered for some overblown TV series you won’t be able to get away from him (or probably recognise him).

To be honest, I’d want a collision detection system if there were two huge missiles strapped to my car.

I guess I’m a little odd, it’s set on 59f with the heated seat set to minimum (outside was 38f this morning).  I don’t want to acclimatise myself to the heat because the office will be cold first thing and I’m bound to spend time somewhere that is colder than outside.

My Ford Focus does this, with a yellow snowflake for “beware of frost” turning red is it actually gets below zero. At this time of year the temperature fluctuations on my drive to work often make it chime several times.

My Ford Focus does the same thing with the extra wipe, often it is just to smear any muck left on the windscreen back into my field of vision as the first 3 or 4 wipes have already cleared all moisture.

Exactly what I was thinking. I was all there to give it a NP until I saw “3-speed auto”, a well known euphemism for “I don’t care about this car anymore”.

I can’t think of FF as anything more than a massive money pit, or maybe a high tech wishing well, throw your cash in and wish for an electric car, there’s always an outside chance they might make one.

It think you’re right, the black bit on the side is a bit off-putting, too.

I’ve heard of that as ‘kitbashing’, ‘greebling’ is new on me, though.

Yawn with the paint job (okay it might be bare carbon fibre), if they want to make it wild it should make your eyes bleed just to look at it.

They did sell the IS300 in the UK, but it was automatic only and so as rare as hen’s teeth.

I’m sure seats have become more and more the most important part of a car for me (I have a bad knee and it makes certain seating positions impossible to drive in), but other than that I still love a 70's wedge.

The Grand Tour must be coming fairly soon, I had an email about tickets this week, so, Springish?

Is it painted, or is it the colour of the resin in the laminate?

A workmate asked me why I thought Ricciardo was leaving Red Bull, my answer was that it was quickly becoming the Max Show. No top level team seem to survive for long with two first drivers, and let’s face it, someone is making a fortune off selling orange shirts.

We get it, it’s meant to go fast, how is it going to be around corners? I mean, you might want to turn around when you get to the end of your privately owned runway.

I believe she was more of a take on the first Queen Elizabeth, the antagonists of the Wars of the Roses were men.

With a bridge like that there are usually signs advertising the low bridge before you turn down the road, often an alternative route is also signposted.  Not that that has stopped trucks hitting the 14'6" bridge on the route to where I work.
