No it’s really not.

Unless the previous owner has changed the oils every 10tkm and also changed the diff, tranferbox and transmission oils ever 80tkm, I would steer away. BMW:s aren’t that bad mechanically, apart from epicly shitty service items and itervals. I mean XF recommends max 120tkm oilchanges for the transferbox and gearbox. BMW…

Toyota isn’t alone with these names. Yamaha is just as bad. Fe. Yamaha Tenere, sounds like perfectly reasonable name. However it’s not tenere, it’s XT. And rest of the range is other non-sensical XTZY -mixups.

Yeah, it went to shit. I mean whole lets-just-leave unconscious baddies lying around makes absolutely no sense. Not that most of the twists do, but that’s the most obvious. I mean they could have made the first crisis short like in the book. Or atleast try to use even small portition of the budget for script. Even…

I’ve often wondered why they don’t put magnetic traintrack into long vacuumtube that goes on the side of the mountain. In vacuum and with relatively light spacecraft they should be able to archive relative high start speed.

So is that your next projects series? :D

Anyho, small country villages tend to have some modicum of redneckiness (if it’s a word :D). Also health and safety wasn’t really that much of a think back then.

And Steve’n’Seagulls are awesome :D.

Ha. Our biology teacher just crammed us sixteen 7th graders into his Hiace and took us to what ever nature trip he came up atleast once per week. And it didn’t have any benches. And this was in early nineties here in Finland. He was fantastic teacher, but gotta admit it was a bit sketchy.

Personally I would go with old Land Cruiser or Mercedes. Lot less thirsty (it’s still lot of fuel to scrounge), and this side of the pond much, much easier to maintain.

Also is it a diesel. Keeping that thing both filled something it can use and doesn’t expire in 6 month or so will be a hurdle. Unless the user of course doesn’t plan to live that long.

I think Jimny is made for space constrained forests and trails. And I don’t think there’s transatlantic divide on that.

I actually like the outside looks of ID4 more than Enyaq. However the ID4 is just a clusterf*ck inside, bot visually and usability point of view.

Think about if LeCarre would have written scifi. Preferably tad in the 50's spirit. Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and Spaceman :D. Or Churchill in Space.

Fantastic! Now they only need to fix their idiotic service schedule and make everyting with fluids part of that. 10tkm oil change, 60tkm differential oil and 100km for transferbox and automomatic fluild. No more stupid lifetime oils.

Other electrics seem to be in demand too. I got Skoda Enyaq* 4x4 80 as company car. 9 month waiting.

It delivered nice story. And I really liked the “Le Carre” -like theme. Action was somewhere in the background, there was just scheming and brandy in the foreground.

As avid fan of the book(s), I’m kinda bummed what they did with Salvor plot. It’s not that they re-wrote, but they made it super slack and kinda pointless. The first book was a lean and mean machine. I would have kinda hoped same with the series.

The Lee Pace is very good in his role, as is Laura Birn as the Dermeziel,…

I guess ranking is OK, as at best these are OK:ish. I mean so far best Marvel has been the Agent Carter and see what happened to that one. Rest is just rubbery CGI mess.

Our main car is X1 diesel. 5l/100km, so basically about 1000km/50l tank. My wife’s commute is 150km/day so with RRC it would be pretty astronomical. Quick calc it would mean cool 20000€/year on gas :D. With diesel it’s about 4000/year.

My RRC is just for wreching/welding fun and occasional use.

Same here in Finland. Filling up my RRC with 90 tank costs cool 200€. And it gets about 400km with that 90l :D. It’s a project car so it doesn’t really get that much driving (and planning to do OM606 conversion, so I would get quite bit more power and it would use 1/3rd of the fuel).
