Dunno how it’s for you, but I’d like to hear some new stuff from my favorite band. Probably the audience there was cold not because of the novelty, but because only the poor in spirit (i.e. the few who applauded) like the idea of a self-driving car.

It seems to me that D’Agostino is on the ground, not Hamblin.

No, I’m from Italy. BTW, with “track day specials” you mean hand made race cars without any approval, that can be driven on the normal roads without risk of being arrested by the Police? And how do you Britons do with them? You just assemble them in your garage with the features you like, then you take them to your…

That’s what I said first. I was saying that it was not spray painted, ‘cause it would have been an horrible job. Than you say that people do it, and I said maybe, but it’s a shitty job nevertheless. Eventually, I know what plastidip is and you please read better my comments, before babbling about them.

I know, and in my times I made bondo repairs and spray painted my car too, even if only over the repairs. I used to dry the paint with a hair drier and polished it in a couple of weeks, but notwithstanding all that care, after just one season the repair would show with a change of color. And the paint in some places…

Well, ...at least his lawn is well mowed!

Your reply is totally correct. Indeed and thinking about it, I wouldn’t even reject a 6th gear on the highway.

Yep, Dupli-Color is a brand of spray paint cans, but I strongly doubt that you could do a whole car with them...

Most used door: wrap just went AWOL...

Street legal??? ....in the kingdom of Snow White, maybe... it doesn’t look like having a lotta airbags, to me! ...and what about the crash tests?

This sums it up all the absurdity of the electric cars, since behind every AC power socket, there’s still a LOT of burning of fossil fuels. This at least until the average human being will understand the difference between a 15 kilotons nuclear bomb, and a clean technology nuclear power plant. In Italy we had a…

13. Seats with built-in, electronically controlled double action dildos.

I agree. I said in the beginning how I think that analog gauges are still the best feature, in a car. But maybe you know that when an analog device has a production cost of 100, the same device totally made of electronic parts will cost 60 or less, to the factory. And this is the reason for all those ugly, all…

Yep. I know... In the beginning, our Alitalia pilots named the very first DC9 “o sassetto” (the pebble) because of its small wings, when compared to the other planes of those times: they were saying that in case of total engines failure, it would have dropped like a stone... luckily, it proved being one of the most…

“Look, Mom! ...an MD80!”

I’ve said it’s digital. #1 is ECO mode, #2 is normal use (the one I really like) and #3 is SPORT mode. It’s digital, but it may have a nice analog look. Of course, it’s a matter of tastes.

A car is not even a spaceship. My consolation is that since the present times are a crapload and the future doesn’t look much better too, the taste for retro looks will make the aesthetics of the analog gauges still fashionable, even if duplicated on a digital screen. This of BMW 7 is a wonderful example:

Yep, I understand. I was meaning that with today European speed limits and traffic density, a 6th or 7th gear is not usually needed in our everyday drives on the plain. Personally, I feel the needs of more gears only when I am on a mountain road with many hairpins, where a 2nd gear makes the engine howl, and the 3rd…

He was just desperate for havig crashed his car, you dumbo!
