Lets hope this escalating trade war with China around chips (mostly AI focused at the moment) is not going to put an axe in the works.

DV looking amazing, yet to see one in my combo. DV + Ice grey interior and black calipers

In truth I haven't tracked one, but have been in the passenger seat of one full beans around a track. It had 800bhp so was probably more of a point and shoot machine than stock which no doubt is better balanced all round.

very different driving experience to a Lotus or Cayman, powerful and heavy, fast in the straights, but doesn''t carry much speed in the corners.

that's one for the physicists - I'd say it never happened. Jethro is an AI generated avatar :D

This Emira experience raises a number of epistemological issues :LOL:

Poor Keira Knightly

I'm conflicted on this and suffer from an exaggerated philosophical bent as midnight approaches. Some experiences are special yet the components are not, that specialness builds with acquaintance which takes time, it's not immediately apparent, it's below the surface. This has little to do with...

I looked everywhere for tan sidewall tyres! Mine is M10 with upgraded brakes (XTR), much closer to a normal mtb than my YT Decoy which is just a beastie with a mind of its own that want's to smash full speed through everything.

Likely just setup, some understeer dialed in to aid the less experienced driver. In fact I believe this was confirmed by Gavan. How many people avoided early 911s for their reputation as window makers? With it's wider appeal this is not something Lotus will want a reputation for, though tbh. I...

My daily is an Orbea Rise too! Ok, I don't ride it daily tbh...White + mint with some tasty Fox Factory suspension, most fun I get on 2 wheels

I know a guy who worked at the Dubai international airport in the 00's, his job was to drive every imported car 1 mile up and down the runway, Bugattis, Ferraris, Lambos and everything you can imagine, he got prima drivea rights :LOL:

The early Evora has really held it's value

I suspect that 5% won't be going into my or your pockets, it'll go to vendors who will adjust prices upwards to pocket the change.

I have GardX on my LR Disco Sport, its been pretty good so far, though nothing a stubborn stone can't chip through

Got it a few weeks ago...30th Anniversary Mx5, lowered on Eibach springs from factory. I've installed an Ulter exhaust with electronic valve control and the diffuser. Also had Royal customise the steering wheel with Alcantara and Nappa. So happy with the wheel I'll get them to do something...

Rumour is it's not carbon fibre, it's crafted by Germans out of solid unobtainium

All this talk of weight. The just announced (40mins ago) new GT3 RS features extensive weight reduction, for the first time the doors are CF as are most of the panels. All the glass is thinner and so on and so on....weight? 1,450kg. Sound familiar? Ok, it has that beast of a 4.0 flat six, and...

Picked up a 30th Anniversary Mx5 / Miata on Friday, should see me through summer. Lowered on Eiback springs and a Bastuck exhaust from the factory, otherwise stock. I name all my cars, she's called Tangerine and is a lot of fun!

I'm buying something else - the Emira will come when it comes, I've quit trying to make plans around 'delivery dates'.

Mass surveillance is already a thing, and China, though more invasive, pervasive and less clandestine about it certainly does not have a monopoly.

The Dino is so beautiful despite the wheel gap and ride height!

Henry confirms the review is coming...

I've rocked up at quite a few chargers (non-Tesla) and found them to be broken. I've downloaded apps and paid for charging only to find the charger is not working properly with the app. I've charged up at a Shell garage and it just charges me a flat £20 regardless of how long I'm charging. The...

The black engine cover looks light grey, there's a lot of top lighting in that studio.

Intriguing manufacturing process, may be they're doing this on the Emira too and have just realised it doesn't scale well.

Good look - I did a trip to desert outside Dubai in an open top 1950's Defender a few years back. Was the most amazing experience. Flat cap and browning would have rounded it off nicely, alas wasn't possible at the time.

expensive on parts though should anything go wrong in typical JLR fashion

Specifically the 3, since like a Caterham ownership does not appeal to everyone, but a lot of people would like to have one for a few days

where's the wheel gap gone, I want it back

We are moving into a future in which we will own nothing. Already if you live in the UK technically you don't ultimately own your house or land or even company. It belongs to the crown. A person who owns nothing and lives on subscriptions via a now purely digital currency can be switched off by...

Always loved the idea of a 3, have configured a few for kicks in the past. Also thought to buy a few and start a rental company...until I wake up from my mid-day snooze and get back to work.

had my eye on 2 Mx-5s, but waiting for my covid to clear both have gone! ...lying in wait for the right one to come up

it would quickly loose composure and skip about when it got bumpy, those Germans with their perfects roads :rolleyes:

I had a 2011 335i (N55) with an ECU tune from Cobb. More than fast enough for the road and not bad on track either. Just a joy to drive, but not the best on a bumpy twisty B road.

trying to think what's keeping me away from options like the M1, even though I know they're brilliant. Thinking about it, it's that I want a 2 seater. I already have 3 cars with 4-7 seats on the driveway. Another 4 seater doesn't feel right, it's got to be small and that's leaning me towards a...
