Wait who does that and why
old car
A friend of mine has literally no privacy as theres a facebook group called "Cars you dont see anymore" and anywhere he goes like theres a photo heh
Haha
When I drive with the top down , everyone tries talking to me
They love it
Especially old people
When I was in my friends 70's Ford Cortina we were overtaking people in a 70 at a fair 80 then one person just decided to start speeding up so we got just over 90mph
car didnt like that
4 spd so was revving its tits off, blew gearbox seals out.
Was also a 1.6L in a giant boat
Wasn't there a truck (or car?) that have all the assembly instructions printed on the frame?
(like, which bolt goes where, what goes through what hole, etc)
Isn't that what the repair manuals are for?
That's a good amount of effort for the car manufacturers to go through.
It is, not only for repair but also for customization. You can add/remove add-on modules (flat bed, cargo box, tow hook, etc) real easy
And it allows faster assembly, since there is no guesswork or any need for memory recall, which I think is a large part of the incensive
I forgot who built it or whether it's still there, but that is fantastic and we should see it more often
I mean, on the line there's no guess work if the line is any good.
I've been to a Ford assembly line, they are incredibly efficient.
I'm not saying it's a bad thing for them to do, I'm just trying to say it's probably an expensive thing for them to do.
How in the world does ordering a custom car work by the way? How much say do dealers get?
Lmao rip
Some dumb bitch hit my car. While roommate was using it to go to work
T intersection. And just turned into him while he was going straight. He’s not at fault, she’s 100% at fault
I've nearly had stuff like this happen at 4 way stops.
Ye my roommie had full right of way considering the person at fault had a fuckin stop sign
So basically what happends everyday trough Stockholm during rush hour.
There was a few accidents this morning
Asked myself "Why is Family Car trending on Twitter?"
And then it's all a bunch of "Create a 4-car garage with these limitations!"
I guess most of them included the Koenigsegg gemera litterly the ultimate family car.
It could be like - 4 cars of your birth year
Or of the same manufacturer
And 2000HP 😀
the i3 makes like 750-800hp
Yup and then 3 electric motors that makes around 1200hp combined.
both are extremely advanced
Opened my trailer from the side and this broke
But it could use some cleaning
You have really gotten the short end of the stick.

😭

What's that translate to? Sports car?
Mmmm I wish I had a sports car to install them on
No those shocks make the car a sports car 
They're for this baby
Yeah best sports car
was taking some corners on a B road like man my car is handling like shit!, hits speedbump in town what on earth was that noise.
opens boot: 🗿
sick motorcycle fork boots, have them on my 305 aswell : )
The shock leaking oil is just so you know it has oil
When it stops dripping that means that you're out of shock oil
The "shocks" on the Citroen BX leak oil by design
The boot on them has a return line which feeds back into a resovoir
if the boot cracks you will loose suspension fluid and eventually run out
same suspension hydraulic system runs the brakes
Im pretty sure without the engine running you will have literally no brakes
There is a safety valve to give you enough pressure to stop but eventually all that saved pressure will be lost
Had pretty much the best assisted brakes of the time
They were alright in their time but being they are all that the age now where anything rubber is fooked can be quite needy
So when you own one of those, the Brake fluid is also clutch AND suspension fluid
cable clutch
Forgot those exist
Same concept as hydraulics on a tractor
I'm hoping to get tires on my a4 in the next week or two and start daily driving it
Because I can't just let it keep sitting
Especially after I did this
Lmg, took it apart for no reason
i might have to open up my driver's side door to fix the speaker
mazda/bose thought it would be a good idea to put a subwoofer in each front door and there's really annoying rattling happening in my driver door
apparently water somehow gets into there and rusts out the back part of the speaker
all i (hopefully) have to do is superglue it back on and it'll go away
that's what a bunch of ppl in here did and they say it worked 
https://www.mazda3revolution.com/threads/rattle-in-bose-right-front-door-speaker-panel-anyone-else.68617/page-4
Mind if I ask what subs you got to replace them with? How do they sound with the rest of the Bose system?
I'm going to give my dealership a chance to fix it first, but I may need to start investing in some car audio equipment, if that doesn't work.
CK
even though those are mazda 3's i think they have the same setup as the 6's so it'll be fine
I wish I didn't have to take it apart 🥲
G wagon cold start with a lil rev
The quiet woosh of well behaved German horses
Or you can have an American v8 cold start
With horses that don't behave sometimes
Or this
Same drivetrain different truck
Much colder temperatures
Is this the lcd of the car or you got a computer for it?
Fun stuff. They are having issues installing the Alco-lock.
Had worse
Why is there a ripoff Ferrari logo on a Volvo tho
Actually a traditional. Prancing moose.
Tester installed now.

i just installed 2 8's in my cavalier and it shakes the entire car lol
i almost got 2 12's
Just getting new drivers is often enough.
Yupp. That's a drop hitch alright.
Bullet proof and sold by amazon are mutually exclusive terms.
1982 Datsun 280ZX T-Top Convertible with Built in Cassette Player
When the name of the company is Bulletproof Hitches™️
yes
Totally doesn't want to make the product seem better than what it is.
Maybe it's just me who really dislikes when people call something "Bulletproof". Same with "Waterproof".
Is it vacuum proof
Happened to me yesterday, someone shot my tow hitch
And last week
So a bulletproof one is worth it
||/s||
most satisfied fiat owner
I had to fix the angle of the dangle on trailers that I tow
This hitch is heavy asf
It only weighs 27.5lbs according to the product description but it's just so dense
The next step up was 40lbs
My summer car moment
Idk
It's all cnc milled stuff
It's pretty nice
Wonderful
Shin-breaker 3000
They should've made it Thief-proof instead of Bulletproof 
Locking hitch pins cost like an extra $30-$40 😢
I'll just keep it under the rear seat if it fits
you spent $200 on a hitch and are against a $40 pin
Ngl I'd probably also take it off
No shinbuster9000

I mean he’s got a screamer pipe just sticking out the hood, probably can’t help it. 🤣
But people with WRX’s, Mazdaspeed 3’s, etc who do popcorn tunes. Very overrated lol. Natural pops and crackles are cool, but on purpose tuned ones are meh.

SUPRA
I'm curious, do Bolts just die?
A few people said if I get one it would leave me stranded and that doesn't sound right.
The geo tracker has natural pops and bangs

Hahahahahahahahaha omg! 😂
Why get that when you can get the new Dacia Spring Extreme
44% more power than the regular version 
||Did it go from 45hp to 65hp? Maybe||
Massive gains
Intresting so Tesla just price dropped their model y and 3 quite a lot. So if you want an id4 or skoda enyaq with the same equipment as an model y long range that would be at least 10k more then the Tesla.
And here I want neither.
Hopefully the other manufactures drops their prices on their evs to match does.
Tesla cars are still the benchmarks when it comes to EV's.
Kind of nice that we're getting some new hybrids as well.
Mazda MX-30 e-Skyactiv R-EV gets a wankel as a range extender.
Rated 85 km's of EV range is enough for many.
Also I was heavily loaded
I was to do empty, but I don't really have a place to do it
Dew it
I think it was 8.3 seconds. Let me check real quick.
Best 100 km/h run being on the left. As that was the latest one.
That's True but I think the other manufactures are forced to lower their prices to be able to compete but we will need to wait and se. And I think the model s and x dropped with like 40k$ in the US to.
But I like annoying everyone within a 1 mile radius from my house!!
Btw. They are only really dropping the price because of supply and demand.
When Tesla themselves are the dealers, then the MSRP means nothing. Because the sale price wont change from that when it's sold.
is this a nest?
Might just be? I can't imagine that it should be there from factory.
so, with a range of 373 miles with the range extender
and a 13 gallon fuel tank
that works out to an incredible 28MPG!
Yay the rotary engines back
How do you even get 28 MPG? I got even lower
Wait MPG US or MPG UK?
MPG UK it's accurate yeah
But, more than 600km's can also be 900km 
Very nice looking car
It's basically a rotary that does ~10 L/100 km.
but the rotary isn't connected to the wheels at all, its like a BMW I3 or Fisker Karma
i believe that's a requirement in Japan
Big nice thing being that a wankel would lower the whatsitcalled. Vibrations, Harshness, thing
i agree, the specific output makes it a good idea for a range extender in such a small place, it leaves a lot of room for batteries and whatnot
Yeah usually you wouldn't be using it anyway
That's why it has a massive 17.8kWh iirc
The ~85 km EV range is decent enough for daily use.
the concept is good, the execution not so much
... why?
I find it reasonable for a daily driver.
It's basically a 2016 Chevrolet Volt, but with a less efficient range extender
basically
But even then, the range extender doesn't kick on a lot.
I'm sure it would be a lot more pleasant to drive with a more refined range extender.
Sure, but even if it doesn't kick on that often I'd want better efficiency than 10L/100km
But that's the thing. You're not using the range extender unless you really have to. Or if you're going on a longer trip.
Yeah but sometimes you have to, and then it doesn't make sense to have a rotary consuming 10L/100km when you could've had a regular 3 or 4 cyl with 5L/100km
It's a neat display piece but it's just an I3 a decade too late
I wonder what the actual number will be.
Just take a 2hr drive, not that crazy, 200km, that's 85km EV, 115km ICE, that's ~11L of fuel, probably the same as a regular Mazda 2 on that distance
That's the most important thing here, there are no official figures yet
Apparently Mazda hasn't released any info about the range with the extender
So the over 600km figure is... made up?
with an engine that needs to be rebuilt every 60000 miles*
All I have heard is 600+ km range with 85 km EV range.
Yeah that's apparently made up, the 600+ figure
Nah. Won't be that bad with a range extender. Considering how little it SHOULD be ran.
Other outlets are claiming Mazda hasn't released that info yet
sure is guesswork here
We all just have to wait and see.
Sure sounds like rotaries throughout their entire lifetime
But all wankels suffer the same faith sooner or later.
The Volt's?
Ah no you mean the rotary

Yeah true
And oil consumption go brr
Apparently Audi almost uses a rotary range extender in the A1 e-tron and that would do "40 MPG" in 2011.
apparently every other automaker has toyed with wanks over the last 60 years only to go "yeah nah"
surely there must be a reason
must be some conspiracy
and it’s smooth and quiet and avoids the shuddering on restart of a piston engine
That's nice
it's a conspiracy by big piston
Rotary does make some sense for a range extender. If you want it to be smoother.
do you know what else is nice and quiet and avoids shuddering on restart
a pure EV
get f'd mazda
rotary in the back there somewhere
Audi would be slightly appropriate with its heritage of NSU
You would need a much bigger battery then, and bump up the price. All of that.
Why aren't diesel hybrids a thing
And I hate governments
the premise of hybrids is less maintenance/running costs
the premise of diesels is put pee pee in blue tank
have you considered our lord and savior propane?
They were, and I think Mercedes still has PHEV diesels
known for their utmost simplicity and low operating costs
So the A1 e-tron did 120 miles on the 12 liter gas tank
meanwhile, at Tesla
Did you mean... Liquefied Petroleum Gas?
?
no propane cars were a thing
There was an a1 of this generation which was an ev with a range extender?
and still are
I forgot about def
LPG is just an alternative
Was a concept
The perks of driving a pre emissions diesel
Yes, you can't go into cities 
Yes I can
I'm emissions exempt
And my state doesn't have emissions

so the Audi did about 6.25L/100km
Either way. If you're even thinking about getting a PHEV or EV. Then step 1 is really to just have a home charger. Which isn't available for everyone.
Well with such a low capacity, just plugging into the wall would probably do for most people
LPG is "propane" with a mix of butane depending on the climate as far as I know
In the summer/hotter periods is more butane
But yeah 100% propane is also a thing
That's enough for the vast majority of people regardless. If you have a simple home charger, then you're getting enough juice to get through the next day.
With the small ones you can get away without it but its all about how often you use the car
also CNG
Natural gas 
yay guys methane
But that can't be run on the same engine
Hydrogen in cars 
it's not like trying to run diesel on a gas platform
Yeah there are a lot of gas fleet trucks that were converted to propane/natural gas here
hello gm
CNG conversions aren't common, LPG conversions are more common
you're in europ

Lets just run our cars on steam. I can't stand those exploding engines.
I already have hydrogen in my car.
On another note, my engine bay is full of snow.
Yeah
Pretty much all big American cars you see in NL are LPG converted
Most notably menards (a large hardware/lumber store) has all natural gas rental trucks
I think my truck gets about 13 mpg in town when I'm not towing
It's weird seeing people fuel up their cars down where the exhaust would be. As I have seen some do.
I need to stop daily driving it 🥲
My truck gets like 8.4 MPG (28 L/100 km).
F
My work's plough truck gets something almost equally ridiculous iirc
Since it's a Chevy Silverado 2500 gasser.
Volvo FE320 
🅱️olvo
I'm pretty sure it's the shitty 320 engine, anyways.
Around 10,600 kg weight unloaded. Allowed to weigh 27,000 kg.
Yeah I drive the truck that I put the shinbasher9000 on
But I think I'll start driving the audi today
As soon as I can get it in for tires
And register it
My truck weighs about 7000lbs unloaded and it's officially rated to tow 12500lbs
It's only srw so it makes sense
I can probably tow a bit more than that though with the springs on the truck
It's still a light duty truck though so I don't need a cdl to operate it
Towing more than what the vehicle weighs is always a bit sketchy.
What the fuck
oooh, that kind of truck
Go through a school. And you'll be able to get one sooner.
Had the alco-lock installed yesterday. Which took the whole damn day.
Yeah it wouldn't take very long but unless I have to get one for a job at a shop I probably won't do it
If I ever tow overweight it'll probably be ag related which is exempt as long as you're within 150 miles of your farm
I also heard that the lock, and cost to install it totaled a hefty amount of $1,700 with taxes and everything.
Is that a breathalyzer ignition interlock?
Interesting
Those are only put in vehicles here after somebody has a dui
In certain circumstances
Just about every new heavy vehicle has them installed now.
Yeah I've never seen a semi with one here
Companies don't want to be liable.
Ofcourse for semi drivers that means it won't start unless you're intoxicated
How else am I supposed to deal with the everyday customers we have?
Bit too big of a hassle either way. The new model that I got heats up quickly when it's cold, and I would many times only have to blow it once a day.
Man. Those cars are pure classic.
two youtubers i follow are doing builds of them right now
one is k swapping a hatch, the other is doing a BEAMS swap of a coupe
Would also be nice to use a blacktop engine.
4A-GE
I just miss how much smaller mid-sized cars used to be. With so much more green house.
if you want a 4a-ge build, this guy does fantastic stuff
https://youtu.be/sNu0pjpACX0
It's time for a new build. This time my 1986 Corolla GTS Coupe AE86 build. We're taking this thing back to the old days with a full nostalgia buildout. Carbs, MSD Ignition, 16v 4age, Big cams, and all the right stuff to make it fun.

he just finished building a pro-spec drift car so this this content should be good
Tesla didn't have any problems with selling cars at old price the sold like butter even when a model y was nearly 80k for a long range one.
Yeah so if you have a money printing machine just lower the price ~ no manufacturer ever
Well Tesla just did it and it wasn't like that they hade hard time selling the cars before. So there most be other reason behind it probely that manufacturing cost has gone down a lot for them during the past year.
It's really just all supply and demand.
If a normal car always flew off the lot at 10k above the MSRP. Then of course they wouldn't lower the price.
But I'm guessing that a bit too much supply is building up, and too little demand.
Their market share is dropping with the number of alternatives increasing
Oh, dang. They aren't selling many Model S and X. But the 3 and Y are their bread and butter at this point.
Decreasing the prices could be a last ditch effort to try and appease the stock holders and make them look a bit better.
This might be slightly illegal
Sounds like good reason why they decied to drop the prices. But the demend is of course not look how many cars tesla deliveryd in 2022 compared to 2021.
It do be. Classed as modifying your license plate 👀
Let’s see how long they last 😂
Most probably don't care too much. Such a mild thing to do.
And reversed in a minute.
Yeah worst I’ve seen is someone getting a €140 fine
But apparently usually people just get told to take it off
It just looks stupid imho
Every time I see a car like that it's accompanied by a driver with a <50 IQ
At least it's not the UK license plates. Hah.
Haha
In France it’s legal
Like you can get plates in so many different color combos
And materials
But Frenchies have a <50 IQ so makes sense
Can’t argue with this
Those are display plates. Often used with Truckers as well.
Display plates?
Yeah. Used for car shows, or anywhere off public roads.
But like half the cars on public roads have them
Huh
Okay maybe not half but a good percentage
Can you show me what you mean
Hard to find
Half the cars has them
When I was there yeah, haha
This is the stuff that I'm talking about.
I might have exaggerated, but motorcycles it was actually close to 50%
Yeah not that haha
Just white and yellow and a blue or black bar on the left
And different materials
What country?
Fun. France seems to be one of those countries where they don't just have a standard set of license plates for everyone.
Though, it seems that they changed things after 2009
Here in Sweden all of the plates are just white background, black border and letters. With the blue EU bit on the left that has the country code.
Not counting Taxi (Yellow), Diplomat (Blue), Dealer (Green), and military (black, yellow letters).
In Illinois you can get vanity plates with different designs for passenger cars
But I'm not sure about class b or c truck plates
You can customized characters though
lots of people have silly plated here which probably arent allowed
personally dont see the point tarting up a license plate
see people putting classic plates on aswell like
brev your car was made in the 90's
I know with USA, then you have actual artwork on the plates. And it differs from state to state.
Classic plates here are significantly cheaper and are made for show cars for the most part
This is a mess.
Its just a style here but only a style you can use if your car was made before some year
And you can also get different artwork on your plate in one state
I liked what someone got for their black Mustang Notchback. "THE IRS" I think it was.
Seen someone recently with them on a Volvo 940
its quite common for people that have classic mini's to break the rules aswell putting them on 90's cars
I wish I could run classic car plates
y
That's y
We also had old license plates.
I'll also accept a white plate
Old vs New.
just use the plate the car was meant to have : ^|
But it's ugly
Reminds me of Alfa. Hah.
I love how a lot of super car owners over here just say "fuck you" and put a tiny license plate sticker on
Im sure like 60% of the drivers I have muttered obscenities at have had a private plate
predictable
See for me it's if they have a license plate at all i mutter obscenities lmao
Because so many people are bad at driving
I never mutter obscenities
People here a pretty good drivers
Oh wait, I muttered many obscenities in France
Fucking maniacs
Nah inevitably, I'm on a 1 lane road with some mf doing 10 under the limit and I'm trying to get home after loading trailers for 9 hours
I actually use my high beams and light bar more for telling people to get out of my way
Yay.
More errors
whats it with you and the confusers in infernal combusion engine vehiculars
midas touch of fucked
hey i think that might be broken
@civic spoke here's the selection that you have JUST FOR ILLINOIS
This isn't even including anything over class B truck plates
It lives
It does
is there an amazon.com or a newegg.com but for car parts?
I know here in Sweden we have something called AutoDoc
But you need to be careful of the prices there. Since they can fluctuate a lot between weeks.

How to do an alternator on an audi a4 b5 2.8

I get the feeling I can drop the entire drivetrain quicker on my car
this looks like a california moment right now
where is that actually?
NL
My local area is having flooding issues
Due to extreme rain
oh dang
My house is fine so far
This is about 1km from my house 
And actually only a couple hundred meters from that video I sent
Sounds like Netherlands.
I’m still waiting on a rain free ray to apply those stickers
Poah da's mien merk
Although I'd rather have the blue New Holland
One of the heaviest cars
My soul hurts looking at that
You know what hurts my soul even more
The fact that I have to do electrical diag on this car because of a parasitic draw

and of course the bot didnt like me capsing
but you can imagine how i reeled at hearing that
Actually the mustang is quite light by 60s/70s American car standards
it's a partial monocoque
I just started at Cadillac, idk what I did to get to work here so early in my career but ive been seeing some nice ass cars, this one for instance is a 2023 CT4 with 6 miles on it
those things are super cool
We had a ct5 V in the other day. 4.2L twin turbo... it was the owners daily driver...
As a McDonald's employee most of the nice cars I see are ruined by their owners.
Dude are you dutch? I swear to god i drove that road like last week
Yes, haha
Now I’m curious where you think this is
Lijkt 2 druppels water op nederweert :)
Probably wrong as shit
Haha yeah, “wrong as shit” is quite accurate 😂
North?
That video is in Geldermalsen
Haha yeah, only half the country away 
Cuz its such a big country 😂
Tbh, a lot of Dutch streets looks like each other
I’ve thought the same thigh before only to find out it wasn’t even close
Exactly 😂
fake netherlands
Also true
At least you have a nice car to help you deal with living in fake Netherlands
It helps me drive more quickly into true Netherlands
Im convinced Belgium is a prank
Belgium is worth nothing, all we do is work to pay taxes
Same In India and other Countries 🫥
Belgium has one of the highest or even the highest taxes in the world
They say 21% but thats conditionally, sometimes its like..over 60% of your money?
Yea
I read a article ABT Mumbai a state in India, The average person working in a coperative has to atleast spend half of his Salary on taxes on both land and cars he own
Only half 🤣
I mean it increases - Depending on how much property or cars he own
Bruh car taxes are so fucking insane here and dont get me started on insurance
Oh here it's just high from the getgo
Yup
In Belgium? -
And every change they get they want more
laughs in NL car taxes
1 car can be 1500 just in road tax per year, then you dont have insurance or anything
True to that
Oh yea and our roads are so bad
I think NL is like the 2nd most expensive country in the world to own a car?
At least i the Netherlands u have better roads
Fr
Amazing roads
one of the few things I can't complain about
Look at belgium... What are these roads
You can even see it on google maps 😂
Trueeee
And the border region near belgium in NL is actually worse than the rest of NL
One of the reasons i wanne move there
It is yea lol
There ya have it
France has really good toll roads, but everything else is just like Belgium 😂
Meanwhile Belgium
where i used to work... terrible neighborhood and people just trashed their cars.. and I had to drive them
Oof
BE is actually relatively expensive for car owners
Welcome to America 😉
The only 2 more expensive than NL the people are filthy rich
The border
hjahahah
Yea belgium is way to expensive compared to the road qualities
What's the Like main source of Revenue got any idea?
Lmao yup belgium NL border
For NL?
Probably BPM and Road tax
Hmm.
oh wait you mean the country as a whole?
Weed
Gotta love it
BOCHOLT
I thought that said "Onbeschoft"
Fucking kut platen beton weg
hahahha, what about your bettonen verkeersborden
Yea thats how it feels, onbeschofte wegen
Do you still have those?
F1 fans here?
Yes
Max is it?
Am confused now
Belgium used to have these massively thick concrete roadsigns above the highways
I don't think they have them anymore?
Nah, belgain quality. Afgebrokkeld
typical
Heres the better angle
Very nice 👍
Lmao yup
This is probably my favorite picture of my car, ignoring the stupid shadow
This one is nice too
second looks like a game
According to the previous owner of those they did work on his F31 and E91 but, maybe they just had an older gen of TPMS sensor 🤔
oh the celica 😍

Some cool pics yea
Xmas meeting
This prob my fav pic
Wait do you 2 know each other ?
Yea she my friend lol
Aaaaaah
Know each other since we were lil kids
That's what happends when your avrage Golf GTI owners upgrades to a bimmer.
Wanne do a lot of mods still, but belgium, nothing is allowed
Should have bought a f45 instead works Great on ours.
Worked on the original wheels
Probably these wheels don't have them
It looks more modern with the new wheels imho 
Works on both our winter tires and summer tires.
What was the EV credit?
The first pricture have the same rims as what my moms has on hers f45.
I thini you got like 7500$ back from your goverment at least it used to be so in the US we hade a similer thing here in Sweden but they they first removed it on EV's with a base price of 70k or more but in november they completely removed the EV Credit for all electric cars.
Style 379, default Sport Line tires
Well the 385's doesn't have the sensors in it currently so then it won't work 

Oh it's a support chip.
It's nice that there is a big catalog with many of the BMW rims available to see.
I think I got the Style 304?
Taken from an X3, now fitted to my E46. 
friends offered me the 190d.. tempting
prefer poojies and citroens know more about them
One of the wheels got properly dented on it a few days ago, stupid low car with stupid wheels.
Id just raise it and put sane wheels on
love that pxl quality
my link
Looks fine for another 50k miles at least
I wish I could deal with stuff that has no rust like that

Looking good
A bit weird on a PC but I'm sure it looks great on a phone which is probably the intended target
I had to keep rotating my phone 

Super busy day today getting my A3 cleaned up after months of winter driving. Scrubs up very nicely 😄 Couldn't resist trying to grab the last 30 minutes of light to get some photos
nice photos, also finally someone who drives his car in winter
Thanks! Even on the winter wheels and tyres 👀 Usually this time of year, the whole car is brown 🤣
i know people with those kinda cars or even better ones that go wintermode and buy wintercars
305 is a case where I really should have a winter car as you can see it dissolving
that and it is a moisture box and takes forever to demist
Not really got the funds for more than one car sadly. This is a Quattro one though which is handy! Shame the UK cities are cutting down on diesels like this, genuinely lovely car.
i have my fiat for summer and who guessed? for winter too
I drive a convertible during winter 
need to get an old enough one to be exempt : )
Doesn't work like that sadly 😉 London charges diesel cars older than 2015, and petrol cars older than 2006. Other cities are now introducing the same thing too!
classic exemption
they're introducing it in Scottish cities but its a 30 year old exemption here vs 40 in London so all my cars are fine
sounds angry
Sounds like it's running at 90rpm
that engine always started like a locomotive because it had like 10psi of compression

Looking for something slightly interesting to buy while I swap engines about
alternatively I swap the engine into this instead and speedrun its roadworthyness
Ooo that’s a good shout actually!
New rear tire, oil change... Need to chase down some matte detailer and wash her up for the season
This is my favourite despite the fact it’s incredibly dirty and has a towing mirror on
stone chips 😩
Is it just me or is it weird that Tesla having the charge port on the wrong side of the car is really weird?
^
Mmmm deezul
That glow plug takes ages to get ready
Hi!
Vrom vrom
Quicker than mine, feels like I sit for an eternity staring into the light.
Just saw the ID Buzz driving on the road
lmao, that was a little more slippery than I anticipated
That was my favourite part of having a BMW for a little while. Had it through winter when the roads are naturally muddy and slippy. Used to kick the back end out on its cheap tyres all the time 😂
When we had snow, I naturally took the opportunity to play about in a nice open space! Even if it sounded like an old Transit Ice Cream Van 
Still a bit new to bikes, is that a silverwing?
Burgman 650
Ahhh ok
Had the right kind of bike but wrong brand
I have one of these chonkers, mine doesn't look so nice tho
No more BMW powice cars in the UK
Aye, going back to Volvos and combining the fleet with VW Group stuff
🅱️olvo 
Police here sold some off including a notorious undercover car. Put sodium silicate in the engines to destroy them to avoid liability.
Someone bought one of the notorious undercover cars and stuck a new engine in, probably scares people heh
It's a shame about BMWs problems, whether its timing chains, fires, airbags, etc. Generally really like their cars, but would probably stick to Team Audi
Not saying Audis are perfect, they deffo have their faults
Those are in the past
Modern BMW is very very reliable, 2nd most reliable so far for 2023
Toyota and Lexus were on top while BMW was named 3rd most reliable car brand so far in 2023
Audi was ranked 6th under Honda
Mercedes dead last in 24th
how much did they pay for the priveledge

@deep zealot Is that US stats?
Yes
Ahh, you see the story is quite different over here as our engine choices and specs are quite different. Until recently, diesels were the most popular and turned a lot of the stats on its head
So the modern BMW fires the police have experienced are on the diesels, I believe because of the EGR coolers
Interestingly it was the diesels that had all the chain issues from 2006-2015. Mine was recalled for a heater fire issue too
They apparently also have a low oil pressure at idle issue
which affects the police vehicles more
I guess US wont have diesel beemers
I was watching a video the other day actually, someone who used to be on Road Wars in the 00s had done an interview and said they'd had various BMWs since the 90s, all of which were useless 🤣
Despite their flaws, I think the UK Police fave from modern times was probably the Vectra. With the T5 Volvos close behind
I know the Omega and Vectra were hugely popular in the 00s, basically the Rover SD1s of the 00s
Yeah even my petrol BMW has a notorious timing chain issue but I haven’t had a problem with it yet
Here's a tricky one. Anyone able to guess what car this is?

How's this for an off roader? https://www.shootfordetails.com/the-details-matter/blog-post-title-one-wcz5s
This 1957 Volvo Tp21 originally started life out as a rugged off-road radio communications vehicle for the Swedish Armed Forces. They were also nicknamed "Sugga" (meaning sow or pig in Swedish) due to its pig-like snout. They were produced between 1953 - 1958 and only producing 720 of them
Based on some old VOlvo?
Ah apparently it is

Sugga is the Swedish name for a female pig.
Actually looks dang good with a nice paint job.
Oh, I didn't see it until just now. But the front of it actually looks like the snout of a pig. 
Atleast I wont be bricking it each time I see a boring colour BMW behind soon enough.
basically exclusively have BMWs for non beat cars here atm
Large diesel v8 moment
Here's one for y'all
you're a triple digit millionaire
you need to go on a trip
you want the most luxirious car possible
but you want to travel in one vehicle. You don't need to take any stuff or anything
but it needs to be able to take you, your spouse, your 2 kids in car seats
plus a driver
Toyota Century?
Plus a driver? Oof 
Honda Odyssey.
how many triple digit millionaires are driving themselves? In the states I'm sure they all drive Escalades or something, but what about this side of the atlantic
can't even get those in the UK
there surely has to be a nicer option than like a Mercedes V-Class
But if you really want to be chauffeured around with your family... Lexus LM?
I guess they must all just use 2 vehicles. Just weird
I think of the large very expensive luxury SUVs (GLS, X7, Range Rover, Defender 130, Bentayga) the Defender probably has the biggest third row, right?
My fuel economy was really bad
I got fuel consumption of 120l/100km for like 13 mins
Ooof.
I wonder how tesla semi would do
Just have a dang truck house.
I'm still curious about the weight.
120 km up the hill
Does a Bentayga offer 7 seats?
And people need to stop quoting the theoretical charge time all the time when they say "Oh, it can charge this much in 30 minutes!"
Apparently it does but idk if anybody can sit there lol
How long it takes to charge an EV can be said using two words.
You can't carry electricity like you can with a Jerry can
"It depends"
Not to mention that a normal truck usually has enough fuel to last 2-3 full days.
Not counting long haulage with 2 fuel tanks.
When sometime there's like 3 hour line during holidays for car charging stations
Mine lasts 1 day.
But I'm limited to 600 litres of fuel and I do uphill driving
What people don't get with EV trucks is that charging won't be an issue, as long as it's working within the limitations of the battery.
And our infrastructure can handle the demand
If you're able to do a full day of deliveries and be back at the depot before the battery goes dead. Then it will be charged again tomorrow morning.
@eager grove Escalade ESV? That's large enough
My question is what if the truck dies
Sure, but drivers have mandated breaks and things
What I mean is, ideally you wouldn't need to seek up a charging station to have your break at.
Meaning that you'd take your break where ever you want. And continue after that.
No idea. That's reliability issues. Happens to normal trucks as well.
I mean how many miles do drivers even do in a day?
I can't udnerstand why they're not trialling them here
And also running out of battery would be a big issue
Here in Europe, it would in the 700 km mark.
UK lorry drivers I have to imagine do fewer miles than in most countries
I don't think we're ready for all big rigs to be electric
Tesla Semi is too big for mainland Europe.
but I think probably, what, 80+% of journeys could be? They're trying out overhead lines in Germany
That's dumb
Europe has limitations for how long your vehicle+trailer can be.
That's part of why we are still using cabovers.
I find funny that when police halted me they thought I had 2 tachographs
In an electric truck, there's no reason for a long nose lmao
Tesla Semi is still longer than a cabover.
That's really the problem.
Ohh. A toll machine?
Yeah, I'm saying it's dumb
Toll collect for deutcheland
Blame papa Elon for not making it a cabover design.
And for rest I have telepass that work in most countries, but it's outdated
Still really don't like the older design of the tachographs.
I feel you.
You start the break, comes back 30 minutes later.
And you ask the truck. "Have you had your damn 30 minute break or not?"
@fathom socketUSA has some stupid setups when it comes to heavy haulage.

I feel like here in Sweden. You might just be able to get away with a 5 axle truck, and a 5 axle trailer for that.
It's on the back instead of the front.
Still not the wrong side
Thats where gas caps are on gasoline powered cars
Why would it go in the front anyway
The charger for the batteries is in the back
Many EV's have the charger in the front?
Like, the actual AC to DC stuff.
With DC to DC charging, then it goes straight to the batteries.
It makes a lot more sense in the front too.
You pull into a parking space and the EVSE is in front, it's a much shorter run than dragging it along the side and it's a safer spot because you're less likely to drive into something further from the road.
I've seen building being transported with less axles
Buildings are only bulky. Not heavy.
That excavator is 55+ tonnes.
Normally I see this kind of equipment on 6 axles here
And a 3 axle tractor
Or idk anymore
Italy is kinda different with ton ages than Poland
I would need to look at the actual axle distances are, and stuff like that. To get an actual number.
I just do courier and toilet paper and get paid
My understanding of oversized cargo is quite limited
Ah yes, buckets on either end.
Well that only applies if you pull in facing that charger
I usually go into parking spots backwards
Like 95% of the time
See that's backwards, the correct way is to pull in facing forward.
But then it is a pain to get out if it’s busy 
You have wait for people either way.
Huh, what does that have to do with anything? 😂
I don't understand how traffic is less of a problem if you're backwards.
Not traffic, parked cars
yo
So I can have a 24 meter metal bar on the roof of 2nd gen Renault scenic
In Sweden. Yes.
Just have to mark it out.
That's like ridiculous
What's the limit for mainland Europe now again? 18.75?
Longest thing I ever driven was 19 meters long
Ye
Also my iveco like a to spit a lot of errors when the engine is under a huge load
I think they are adblue related
My Ranger be looking at that like, "What the fucking hell, you're not supposed to do that"
But, then again, you guys don't really get your own pickup trucks like us in the U.S and Canada
besides some like the ford ranger
the eu version anyways
and whatever that Volkswagen truck is called
hah I was looking at 80's goldwings and pacifica's - but my knees really objected to vancouver traffic and really top heavy cruisers... Ended up here...
You can get those with 8 seats 😵💫
I’m going to Europe in march, I can’t wait to see how tiny these cars you guys talk about are lol
Gillig Low Floor
Does anyone know if it still possible to buy Target blueye?
The legal police detector using Tetra signals
@stoic ledge Show me ur message
Oh accidentally pressed a key, did it show it as typing all the time? 
But then you don't have the captain chairs 😭
Not too bad, you've got the Fiat 500 in the US, not much is smaller than that. Most is Fiesta/Sonic and Focus/Cruze size, and/or station or crossover "SUV" versions of that
Fiat 500s dont exist

I almost bought an f350 with captain's chairs
Was an '03 king ranch
Incredibly nice truck
Just slightly out of my budget
So I got an XLT with benches instead
Sometimes I still regret letting that king ranch get away though

Did some more accidental Tokyo drifting
Like this 🤔 https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMYJUrF8h/
Neat. I saw a Polestar Edition 2.
I see all kinds of cars. perk of living nearby the nürburgring
This looks like an afterthought
Do you know an reseller?
