I am saying the blame is not totally on VW here

I think you mean Bosch engineers as it was their software that VW used to cheat the emissions testing.

I had a mk1 Octavia vRS, the best car I’ve owned.

5% of the update is of interest to me, the social shit is just that. Shitty social shit. I play games to get away from people, not to interact with them more.

I never charge my PS4 controllers hooked up to the PS4, always charged them from any old USB charger I have to hand.

Allow lane splitting. I used to commute on a bike in the UK because you can go down the outside/split lanes sensibily when in traffic. Not being legally able to in many states/provinces (Fuck you I’m Canadian) really negates the main advantage. Why sit in traffic on a bike, open to the elements, when you can sit in…

AKA Ford Sierra XR4i which had the 2.8 V6 Cologne engine and the Merkur had a turbocharged 2.3 I4. The XR4i wasn’t very successful in the UK either and was replaced by the XR4x4.

Songza’s ‘The Walk’ mix has been my goto recently

What utter bollocks. What scandal caused Tucker to resign? How can Delorean’s entrapment by FBI agents be bigger than the Exploder scandal or any other automotive scandal that were the direct cause of deaths?

Doubtful as it’s British, so more likely a treaty mile for the next Morgan Aero 8

Fascinating, great article.

Me too.........I used to drift my 05 Explorer in snowy parking lots too

You can drift anything RWD on a wet surface, used to do it in my Bug all the time.

Also need to fix the destination as the flight was heading for London not Minneapolis

Excellent shoes, classic styleeeee

I have dreams about driving a gold SM from Paris to Nice with Charlize Theron in the passenger seat.

Gear Knobs would be an awesome name, Speedbirds sound like yet another Discovery Channel reality show about a bunch of grease monkeys rather than the cars they work on.

None, just keep your car interior clean and an air freshener is not required.

Well yes karting is the first step but Formula Ford has been seen as the first step on the single seated ladder to F1. That’s why so many F1 stars went over to the UK to compete in FF.

Surely Formula Ford is the first step on the career path to F1?
