Man, I was recently in Thailand and saw these all over the place. The style is whatever, but it really is a perfect size for a small family/single person who needs room for shit while still being able to navigate around a city without issues. Same with the Colorado/Isuzu D-Max trucks they have over there.…
Unless another country as almost identical license plates, this is definitely Thailand.
This isn’t the original article I saw, but it debuted at the Essen Motor Show. I was kind of surprised that I didn’t see anything about it on Jalopnik- http://www.car24news.com/ford-unveils-f…
Wait, I thought you were kidding. That’s what the model shown is. A Focus Sport. It’s a UK model. Don’t act like you also didn’t see this elsewhere on the internet earlier this week like I did.
Sad to say, but I agree- largely because of the rust. That’s a battle that will never end, slowly wearing down your psyche/wallet until there’s nothing left.
Yeah, anything transmission-related on a Mini (or BMW) is very tough for an independent shop. Part of the problem is that the rebuild information isn’t published. I have access to all of BMW/Mini’s factory tech info sites, and they outright do not publish internal transmission information, only exterior and R&R.…
The cost of special tools alone would put an independent shop out of business unless they serviced a lot of Minis.
The BMW Minis have been dodgy as well. Time will tell with the new B48 engine- it was a new design in 2014, so long-term reliability can’t be assessed yet. The previous generation N1x engines had DI/carbon build-up issues, timing chain issues, oil pump issues, etc., depending on the specific engine.
What the hell are you going on about?
Right, these are the things that matter to most people- let me pay with an app and have you arrive within minutes of my request. No other factors matter that much.
Only the 4-cylinder model has engine noise played through the speakers. http://money.cnn.com/2015/05/16/aut…
God damn, this bike is beautiful.
Video here-
Agreed, this thing is not pretty. At least the older model had an identity of its own.
I don’t even know how to pronounce the name but I’m so happy that it’s not alphanumeric gibberish.
It’s not that there’s anything wrong with being a fan of American vehicles, you just don’t have to be an ignorant douchebag about it.
Mine is identical, only with a titanium Two Brothers pipe rather than the carbon fiber.
As an F800R owner, I might be a bit biased, but this is a good looking bike.
Suzuki’s turbocharged Recursion concept is the stuff of wet dreams-
