‘A living Spitting Image reject’ is how I’d phrase it.

Wow, that sounds astonishingly bad.
‘Urban fantasy buddy cop movie’ is the kind of concept that could be really good, but that’s just... lazy. At best.

Does the Magic Roundabout count as Technical, Showstopper, or the bit where somebody screws up and starts crying?

“When Alexander the Great was 33, he cried because there were no more worlds to conquer. Eric Bristow’s only 27!” - Sid Waddell.

Wait, they race at Monaco, but don’t do the most iconic part of it? What?

I think the original looked really good with the plastic trim, but the versions without looked kinda weird.

The new one is the other way around; the plastic trim highlights how it’s an incomplete touch-up and just looks odd, while the versions without the trim look really nice in a slightly samey way.

Nah, we’re good. Xi Jinping is very qualified.

At best, it’s Dick Van Dyke level. At best...

Don’t be ridiculous, he wrote a whole article about how he couldn’t do that.
The follow-up will be “My 3,000 mile trip to rebuild a friend’s Jeep at the side of a Yukon highway” in June.

The counter-argument of it just being a painting of the town rather than a map makes it into the 6000BC equivalent of those black-and-white prints of aerial photos of New York that seem to be everywhere.
So although I’ve no idea which take is the correct one, I’m kinda hoping you’re right.

It’s pretty much the same. Maybe not quite as good, but a lot better than you’d expect for a TV show that’s replaced 75% of its hosts.

It was bad at whiplash, but the frontal tests were similar to some cars that got 5 stars. It’s mainly the lack of side airbags (because they always test without options, unless the manufacturer pays for them to test both versions), so no pole test. Also about 8% of the ‘occupant safety’ is from an active braking bonus.

The occupant safety score includes a large bonus for active braking assist - look at the new Suzuki Ignis. Without, 79%, with 87% but the same base points.

The Punto’s mediocre score for occupant safety is mostly that, plus that side airbags are still optional (so they don’t conduct the pole test which is worth a lot…

Only the plug-in ones do, from the looks of things, but although it’s more than the NiMH ones it’s still only 8.8kWh, which is about half of a Chevrolet Volt’s battery.

Yes it did, it just got strengthened then.

It was the bus from Bondi to Central so it went past that one then straight down Oxford street.

Fear of the package showing up with the sender being listed as Bumfun Enterprises, or of their customer database being hacked and their name showing up, I suppose?

The only way I’d heard of this company was from these posts, until last year. I was walking through Sydney and noticed their shop, thought nothing of it than “oh, it’s that shop Deadspin rips the piss out of”. A while later I get a bus back, a middle-aged American tourist couple cut in front of me and there’s an old…

There’s lots of them about, but I’d not really call them entry level as they’re so expensive
