Yes, drums at the back—where braking force isn’t as critical as in the front. That power brake setup—disc/front and drum/rear—is still light years better than four wheel manual drums. Again, I’d bet 99% of you readers have never once even ridden in a car with all manual brakes. Don’t drive such a car—it will kill you.

“Wow, that’s a pretty good repliOOOOOHMY HOLY SHOCK.”

Minis were getting too reliable.

Every so often the vehicle gets spooked and it takes days to find it. And if you don’t use the right fuel they will bite you or set a foot on top of the owner’s foot and just lean, just a little bit, until the crunching sound stops. 

Not a Smart move ForTwo drivers to act like that on the track.

I was waiting for oompa loompa’s to run onto the track singing. 

No, it has an AC charger that rectifies AC to the DC battery bus. There is no such thing as AC batteries. It can’t do direct DC charging to the battery bus (as configured from factory)

Please tell me how to import a 70 series into the US and I’ll hand over that $500 American for the portal conversion.

The Marks 4 wheel drive kit for the patrol and Land Cruiser 79 is about 16 grand AUD, if that helps.

There’s plenty of case law that contradicts your armchair analysis. But let’s ignore that for a second, and ask: why should we ONLY be concerned with the specific details of legal culpability? That’s an awfully narrow thing to argue, and here it has the effect of letting an obviously negligent corporation off the…

This is MY JAM. ALL OF IT. I LOVE YOU, TORCH.

The screens on the Mazda and Honda are mounted high on the dash, close to your natural line of sight. Far better than the screens mounted low like VW and Ford like to do.

Based on the location and shape of the buttons, you can commit lots of commands to memory. Touch screens are more error prone since you are committing too much mental and visual effort on touching juuust the right spot on the screen. Not something you want to be doing on a busy highway.

“May, can I borrow your hammer so I cut down some firewood?”

I’m kind of digging Drivetribe’s series of videos they’re making lately where they just sit Clarkson down and record him telling various things to fuck off.

I agree, I’ve watched some of his solo shows from the BBC. He actually does extremely well with serious/profound topics but as far as a laugh guy no, not at all May is actually the funniest on his own. Would pay to see May and Clarkson on an island.

Close. Put Hammond on one island with a crate of fine scotch and put Clarkson on another within eyesight with a crate of gin, and let them try to figure out how to get to the other island.

I saw one for the first time out on the road the other day. Didn’t realize how small it was. Had never seen one before that.  Like ever.
