Adding a switch is a very popular mod. Means you can leave home late / early and not annoy the neighbors.

That’s just not how AI algorithms work. They make decisions based on lots of similar events they’ve seen in the past, and how “good” the outcomes were (think crashed / didn’t crash). There’s no piece of code that says “if I do this person A will die”, it’s all just a bunch of very complex stats.

CVC is a Private Equity company, not a VC. They way they raise money, and the way the extract value from companies is different.

That was the V12 engine, which Aston still make a version of - it’s derived from a Ford V6. The current V8 is derived from the Jag AJV8.

I’ll give you the Lotus and the Range Rover, those are both total pieces of junk, but the (current) V8 Vantage Aston is pretty reliable in my experience. I hear the 70s / 80s V8's are impressively bad.

Here in the UK Denfenders are considered one of the few truly effective off-road vehicles. Other than Unimogs they’re pretty much the only car you see being used commercially off-road (by farmers, forestry commission, utility companies, people like that). G Wagons are much more expensive, Wranglers are cheap, but less…

Those are not the floor mats, that’s the carpet (yes, it looks like a mat). Aston sells mats that go over the carpet, but they’re so expensive and plush you wouldn’t want to drive on them.

They do licence it: https://www.bose.co.uk/GB/en/automoti…

Easy one. 2000 P38 Range Rover 4.6, 70k miles on the clock. It’s my winter beater / load hauler.

I hate to say it, but I think you’ve bought a pup. I’ve run a ‘08 V8 for four years and ~20k miles, and I think I’ve “only” had two breakdowns (clutch wore out, oil valve went). I’ve had a fair few irritating things like the drain plugs in the doors blocking, and the brake lights being on permanently, but those are…

Diesel gelling at low temperatures is a serious issue. I stayed at a hotel in Scotland a few years ago where a guy trashed his diesel Audi trying to start it when it was too cold.

Black, because the only other choices in that model were orange, or a weird silvery blue.

Diesel fuel becomes viscous enough for it to be a problem to run an engine at around -20°C (not sure what that is in F). So it’s not really about the engine as much as the fuel. It’s fine once the vehicle heats up.

Class 27 is for all floor coverings, not just in cars :-)

No Astons? Fail.

Some European Auids have this too. I find it quite distracting, and a bit gimmicky, but I guess you don't appreciate what you can get.

Brilliant description.

If you think an old RR would tow a new one you’ve never owned an old RR :-) horribly unreliable.

I chose a V8 Aston, and a Range Rover.

The track doesn't belong to the BBC, private companies rent it out for driving days, so no problem there.
