Mini Eggs used to be amazing before they changed the chocolate in them, now they’re just really good. Also I just got some and they’ve made the packets 12% smaller this year.

Eh, like most of Cadbury’s lineup it’s gone downhill since the Kraft/Mondelez takeover. The chocolate in everything without Dairy Milk in the name got reformulated to be cheap and terrible.
Also, acknowledge the greatness of Mini Eggs or else.

Hainan chicken is so good though.

mmm, V6 widebody sport pack? niiice.

If they’d used the HSV bumper, people would just go on about that making it look tacky, though. It’s fine, slightly plain without the hood scoops, but they were an option. It’s just not an awkward retro pastiche.

The Mail isn’t News Corp - Murdoch’s UK papers are The Sun and the Times. Not as if that makes it any better, of course.

The easiest way to spot fakes from the generator is probably that it’s not been updated for Brexit, but also the references to houses don’t have prices next to them.
(and it’s got double the amount of swans)

Fiesta rear seats do fold flat?

At least that could be shortened to Bill Aire, which is perfectly normal.
I have a bit more sympathy for ‘weird’ names that can be shortened to normal ones.

Yeah, nah. Big Things are really just made of concrete.

Slightly off-topic, but why do all Peugeot/Citroen cars from the ‘80s to at least the ‘00s have a different ‘new car’ smell to everything else that lasts for decades?

But that’s my point - they’ve done a good job of making a 2018 car that has the style and feel that says ‘911’ without giving up on any of the modernity, and the hybrid is just the next part of that.

Could they go too far, and be a terrible retro pastiche, sure. But so far they’ve pulled it off way better than say,…

To be fair, the oldest millenials are 37 now.

I don’t know anything about fancy watches, but the 911 isn’t going to go downhill because they’ve always done a really good job of blending what made the original special with what makes a car special right now.

In the States, but it was something that people here used to laugh at back then. It was a couple of years into the second one where it started to rub off on things here a bit.

It’s only recently the tone of it’s changed, but the last 15 years or so it’s gone crazy. But it has gone very crazy: https://twitter.com/giantpoppywatch

And the 205, but the sweet orange Manta ate it :(

I wouldn’t say it’s that a-political - maybe in relation to say, Italy, but not overall, just for most fanbases doesn’t map neatly onto left/right overall these days (though there are certainly some teams more known for one side or the other).

There’s a strain of, not nationalism in that sense, but that kind of…

Nah, they’re good cars. The regular ones are nice little runarounds and the Sport is a legit Fiesta ST rival.

I don’t see it. That Monte Carlo looks more like someone has put the front clip of a ‘98 Civic coupe onto a ‘92 Prelude, to me.
