Not sure that I buy the gen 2 was a sell out thing. It had pretty funky styling for the day with the hard edged swoops and wraparound headlights, was barely any larger than gen 1, was still available in a swb 2 door and was surprisingly capable offroad. I took one to several of the sand islands off Queensland and had…

Yep, won that lottery myself. I had my first decent car, a Golf Gti 16V lifted after many happy miles together. Two years later I spotted a very familiar configuration of non-standard antenna and front airdam parked in a nearby city. Plates were different, but a distinctive ding from a Rottweiler tooth, (don’t ask)…

Gawd there is a tanker load of bile sloshing about on this page, lots of people doing their digestion and circulatory systems a whole lot of no good!

Despite the distinctly odd pleas on here for the perp to be white, I’d hazard a guess that the official reminders of Canada’s “proud record of inclusivity and tolerance”, mean that the odds of this being so, are not good.

By all accounts she (and the rest of the crew) got the aircraft down safely after a serious engine failure and that is worthy of congratulations, but I’m afraid I wouldn’t be holding out the comms part of the emergency as a shining example, in fact most instructors I know would have had her run that one again in a…

Probably not on my shopping list, but condemning it on the basis of Nissan’s fugly blob doesn’t make much sense either. On the other hand, the yummy mummy dropping kids off at our local school, in her topless Evoque makes me tend toward giving the category a thumbs up.

In Northern Territory crocs catch choppers

I think there may have been a blue one lurking behind the MX-6

They really are a car maker of extremes, with arguably a larger number of oddities than any other major manufacturer, alongside some of the blandest offerings known to man eg. the original 323. I have a Eunos 30X, a fwd 2+2 coupe, similar to an early 90's Toyota Celica - powered by an 1800cc V6... It’s a lovely little…

All well and good, until someone loses an eye; as me old gran used to say. In other words, we can ignore the NK’s increasing capabilities until the day that one of their fireworks goes wrong and the debris rains down on Japan or South Korea, at which point all hell breaks loose, but not at a time of our choosing. The…

My buttons must be easy to push, because it is really beginning to grind my gears when every article about new technology has to disparage on a personal level, those who may not be quite as enamoured of it, as the writer. Maybe a spillover from the current state of political discourse? I’m not much for the “good old…

I get you. They’re still going to have to wrestle me into a strait-jacket and send me off for re-education; intellectually I have fantasies about building an electric Lotus 7 replica or something like the Morgan 3 wheeler - and then I run the video and all I want to do is run a card against the wheelspokes.

A pity you blew your credibility in the first paragraph or two; “quite competent off road”. Frankly, unless your style of offroading requires an overpowered swamp buggy, there is little that will stay with a G Wagen in the rough and virtually nothing that will still be going strong after years of the same.

I kind of get it; it’s not the sunglasses nor the expense, nor even safety really - it’s a little jab of frustration at the manufacturer of a premium product could be stupid enough to offer something that they very obviously hadn’t tested in real world conditions. A little like the rush to jam stupid big screens into…

Hell I dunno, I’m never likely to get pregnant, don’t have swollen ankles and her reasoning seems perfectly sound to me - some thieving little weasel picks on someone who can’t fight back, well shift the odds in your favour and fix the problem. As someone else said, no way I’d convict her!

Autonomous vehicles aren’t alone - the average meatware driver doesn’t stand much chance of predicting Skippy’s movements either.

Either you have unrealistic expectations, or non-US manufacturers do a better job with sensor placement, because knowing the variation in local temp thanks to tarmac radiation etc, I am constantly amazed at how close the reading is, to official calibrated sources.

Then I guess this isn’t going to work for you then. Not sure why you would bother reading something that quite obviously doesn’t apply to your circumstances, much less comment on it....?

Well if they can avoid the passive aggressive whining about the apparent lack of diversity in car ads and the fact that someone has the temerity to target a male audience - I mean there are no unashamedly female targeted magazines or ads about are there, I might even consider having a look. Jalopnik on the other…

And there’s the argument for retaining a good old fashioned manual handbrake lever right there, would have made this an easy save! I was an ass recently and left my (manual) truck running on my sloping driveway whilst dealing with the bins - 20 seconds in it suddenly started rolling backwards, wife gave lever an extra…
