I never had one but did have a mk1 Skoda Octavia vRS which is the same platform. I absolutely loved that thing! Fast, pretty good on gas, a great sleeper and reliable. It got hit by an issue with its turbo at around 40k, which the 1.8T engine is susceptible too and had to have the cambelt change earlier than scheduled…

I thought it was the Mexican built ones that have a poor reptuation?

The Harrier isn’t exactly ’modern’! It’s awesome but not modern.

It could well be. I’ve just got some sports glasses that aren’t progressive so I’ll try those and see if it makes a difference. Never had a problem when wearing glasses before but then I’d not had progressive before. After over 30 yrs of gaming it pissed me off.

Wow yeh that is mad! It’s only in the past 18 months or so that I’ve been effected, I’m a little more than in my mid-20’s though which is why I thought about age. Could also be my glasses as I changed to progressive lenses around the same time.

Doesn’t help........even playing Gran Tourismo in cockpit mode still gives me motion sickness. Not sure if its an age thing as it never used to happen.

On the west coast of Canada, we call that the end of summer

I’d love to play it but FPS games make me feel sick

As its in the UK I would suggest ‘class envy’ is more relevant than the race element.

On a scale of one to Spotify, I’m at Google Music (which must be #11)

Its not an East Putney accent, plus Putney is full of upper class types. Its sort of Herts, Surrey, Hampshire type accent. It’s similar to mine, although mine now has a North American twang.

Very obviously a script but a very acceptable English accent. Many friends and work colleagues in a London have the very same accent. The quality of the recording and the stilted delivery doesn’t help though.

Because many many cars are so poorly maintained that a high mileage vehicle very soon turns into a money pit. Yes it can happen with lower mileage vehicles but the chances are significantly slimmer.

The english accent done ‘spoken’ by the chap in the bottom right corner sounds fairly normal to me. It’s a very generic non regional accent, but a perfectly normal one.

Chat is the reason why I rarely play online games and I’m certainly not a teenage girl. I want to play the game, not hear a bunch of 14 yr olds telling mom jokes.

He wins all the internetz! Absolutely brilliant.

Let’s take moment to remember the delightful Tatra, with its glorious rear mounted aircooled V8, that ran into Inoue.

Bollocks, is simply not the biggest shark ever filmed. So it’s either terrible journalism or click bait bullshit.

I’m sure this car has been featured on Jalopnik before, not as a NPOCP just for the weird combination of airbrushed panther and plastic french sports car.

That brings back fond memories of watching them race on BBC Grandstand with my Dad.
