Hmm; I’m sort of hoping for a dual-motor setup sat in place of the transfer case, with one motor driving each axle; I feel like independent front/rear axle control could be fun for off-roading.

I was shown them by someone at work a while back, and I’m a convert. the clear ones are the 221's rather than the 222's; think they’re just kinda the newer version. The levers are about twice the width, and don’t bite your fingers anywhere near as much as the 222's, too. Think they are generally a little more…

“I think that key lime-colored fella with the black vinyl roof in the lower left is a Ford Capri”

Nice work; not one I’ve used a ton in the game atm, but it’s worked pretty good when I’ve run it. What other cars were you particularly pleased with that you worked on in Forza?

Probably not one for car use, because water ingress etc, but for quick testing and indoor stuff I always like to have a handful of Wago lever connectors; they’re quick and easy, and seem pretty reliable. They’ve also got a test point to probe with a meter, which is handy. I’d recommend getting the clear ones, as…

I hated the way his fundraising efforts were focussed on & presented as a great positive story; the NHS is not a charity, and the fact that a hundred year old war veteran who could hardly walk felt the need to raise funds to try and compensate for some of the failures of our current government is frankly shit.

Not sure to be totally honest; it’s been quoted in a few places (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-35436741, https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/living-land-rover-defender), but I haven’t looked into the numbers that deeply, and those are from a few years back (when the old defender stopped production) so…

Yeah; couldn’t find exact numbers for the defender, but its >2M for the series & defender combined; suspect that doesn’t include licence-build versions either. Most of them are still on the road, too; think there’s about a 70% survival rate 

Damn, now I want to see what singer would do with a singer. Maybe a singer chamois coupe; they’re rear engined, so kinda porsche-oid

Eh, since those sit pretty much exactly where the numberplates would go, I’m pretty sure they’re concept-only

Nissan have been toying with this process too:

I’m kinda confused; what exactly are they going to be designing? The buggy itself will be a basically off-the-shelf unit (or as close as you get by way of lunar rovers), and the body design is kinda just decoration, as there’s not exactly a lot of air resistance to play with.

There’s so many ways this could be avoided. a reserve level on the battery is a sensible one; you could also quite easily have an aux power input trough, say, the USB-C port (wouldn’t be hard to enable bi-directional power), which would allow you to fire up the low-voltage electronics off a USB power bank or…

I love the Blues Brothers, but the chases are are more crazy than tense, and the music also keeps things fairly chill, hence, I guess, why it doesn’t register on this list.

“These kinda make me want to put a window in the middle of one of my Smart’s doors.”

a ‘59 Buick hearse looks like it wants you dead, like it’s hunting for a new passenger.

That kinda makes me want to see one done out like an early 60's alfa rally car:

It’s a pretty common option for small hatchbacks in europe; they’re usually used for service vans

It wouldn’t take any irreversible modifications to achieve the look, though; you could achieve a more convincing bare polished metal look with a good wrap, and the surface detail’s mostly just that, labels etc. that go on the surface. even if you just left it at that, it would be a substantial improvement.

Honestly, that’s a pretty lacklustre replica (if that’s the right term?);
