The F1 car can do it over and over again until it runs out of fuel. That’s the difference.

“but from a truly technical perspective, the performance kit added to the Porsche is still road legal and available to European customers”

“So, overall, I’m really impressed with Plamobil’s toy engine accuracy”

In the unlikely event that I have a son,

I emailed Peugeot after I wrote that and it seems that the new 308 is coming next year, so I hope that includes the wagon so I can check it out.

I just looked on the Peugeot Australia site - they don’t seem to be selling the 308 here anymore, so we aren’t likely to get the SW either. I have emailed them to check as the hybrid might have been interesting.

“Overall, Sadly seems impressed”

That’s okay - I have never smoked and haven’t had a drink since 1989, when I was 19, so the taxes aren’t my personal problem. It’s one of the reasons I’m not poor, but I do agree that less affluent people are more affected by this. I remember from year 11/12 Economics that beer and cigarettes have a low elasticity of…

Yes, of course it’s Australian dollars - the tax on beer and cigs are increased regularly here. Maybe only incrementally, but I have an autograph on a book you can buy at an Australian Rules game which shows cigs at 50 cents a packet.  This was in 1979.

Oh, I thought it was because smokers had too much money burning a hole in their pocket, so they decided to use it to burn something else.  At about $50 a pack in Australia, that’s what it would seem, anyway.

Speaking from an Australian perspective, the Clarity was never offered here - I would be surprised if you could find many non-car people who had even heard of it. The Nexo is about to go on sale here, I saw - but with the only hydrogen filling places about 1000km from where I live, you might forgive me for being less…

Not for me - but someone in my town imports F150's and converts them, so you never know :)

1st gear - We’re not getting the Bronco in Australia which is sad - I would have liked to have seen and maybe driven it.

Cool - I’ve got lots of unsold pieces, they can have them all if I get a Polestar 1

We were camping on Fraser Island off Queensland many years ago and driving through the rainforest, there was a thump on the roof of one of the 4wd vehicles and they stopped. It was a large goanna and that is the closest I’ve been to one. They are big and powerful - I don’t remember how he left the roof, but it would…

Water. Not nasty, but certainly annoying. This was my first car - when it rained hard, the passenger footwell would become a mini lake.  After much investigation, it turned out to be a hairline crack in the firewall, which required removing most of the dashboard to fix.  It also explained why it needed hard rain to…

Hey, I’m in the Latrobe Valley (Traralgon) about 2hrs east of Melbourne. I’m not vouching for the list I saw, but I’m not surprised you have heaps of Cruisers there - makes sense.

One vehicle that Australia gets and the US doesn’t - it finally happened /s
