“Trading in for a younger model” is relevant in this case. A 45 year old breaks up with a 35 year old because the latter was involved with a 23 year old.

Anyway, Cobée says that in the 1970s, a car weighed about 700kg (about 1,500 pounds). Now, the average vehicle weight is 1,300kg (2,866 pounds)

Many will read your comment and might assume it’s sarcasm.

I went with tap water so if I die [...]

Whatever happened to the Jeremy Clarkson who did dumb shit with cars? We all sort of liked that guy. The current Clarkson seems full of bile, which no one likes. It’s also when you know it’s probably time to call it a career.

I kinda have to disagree with you here. It’s one of those things that are only obvious after the fact.

One important detail is missing though: The city of Amsterdam wants to remove a total of 10,000 street parking places, over a period of several years.

Robb, with the recent Porsche 911 Carrera T in mind, with its Not-as-fast-as-a-PDK-but-much-more-engaging manual gearbox, what would this Audi R8 GT have been like with 3 pedals and a stick?

Neither did RB, up untill an ambiguous rule got clarified, which changed the cost calculation of certain items after the fact. It was a load of produced spare parts that suddenly contributed much more to the spending cap than initially calculated by Red Bull. Plus a tax deduction they could have applied, but didn’t.

Sheesh! Again: TWO teams were in breach of the budget cap rules.

Aston Martin didn’t get fined for breaching the cost cap rules then? Oh, okay!

Ok, uhm, no, that I’ll pass on.

No, what I was trying to say is that at least a part of new developments plug into existing services, untill capacity is fully used.

True, but taken on average, part of new on-land buildings will just hook up to existing infra, so as a whole it’ll be cheaper (and the facilities can be larger and thus be more efficient) even though not all new buildings can just connect to existing systems.

Oh, I dunno, you build houses (thinking US building code here!) largely from wood. No need for steel, of which a considerable amount is needed for structural/hull rigidity.

Pedantic mode engaged!

So, not quite like the exhaust trickery of the original Bugatti Veyron.

Terence, that’s cool bro, got any proper peer reviewed scientific papers on your claimed breakthrough?

With a headline like that, I can’t blame you, really.

Oh Jeez... I’m Dutch, I live in Rotterdam, I know the situation quite well. Oceanco asked about the possibility of partially dismanting De Hef and the city said “Ok, that’d be fine”. Even the “Vrienden van de Hef” (Friends of The Hef), the historical preservation society of the bridge, was OK with it.
