Aah, yes. Brilliant!

Where did he need that? (And there is something called electric side mirrors).

You sure? :)

If you have the spare money, just have any of them fitted. For me (I'm not a racing driver but an occasional hooner), it makes cornering a lot better.

Because that engine meant to be in a Fiesta. I still can't believe they don't sell a Fiesta with that in it.

Mostly yes. But there are some differences that matter, such as MiTo has Q2 locking diff and active suspension. Performance wise, 0-100km/h time is also better (7.5sec vs 8.2sec).

I think what you must be really afraid of is when you brake suddenly, right? Keeping rear fog lights on will decrease the contrast between brake light on and off cases, and possibly cause a longer reaction time for the driver behind.

My daily drive is a MiTo QV: same engine as the 500, a bit heavier but packs 10 bhp more.

Hi again! This is probably a known issue but the comments section does not work on Chrome (Linux, Version 22.0.1229.94). Initially the two columns for comments are properly aligned inside the space, but after a few scroll clicks the alignment is gone and after a few more clicks, comments cannot be read anymore.

I guess it's not possible to tell which message is being replied to. Some indentation could help?

Just wanted to see how a reply to a reply looks like.

This is in the UK.

After I see the image and your name under it, I was ready for something like this to follow: "Congratulations, Mr. Patrick George, on QOTW! This handsome man will bring you your gift once he is done with the bell".

I thought this was a common 'feature', maybe it's just an Alfa Romeo thing. And there is no (nice) way to switch it off.

They are most probably activated automatically (they do in my car when traction control kicks in).

Made me wonder how much the guy paid for this role...
