cars

[magic arrow]

although the alltrack had it too

but need to be careful how heavy he wants to tow

because most of them weren't more than 5500

he'd have to look at a pick up to look for that 7500+ lbs

ironically, i will be reviewing my FIRST pick up truck the RAM 1500 HD in 2 weeks

[shadow osprey]

It’s like a 2500 lb boat and trailer

Anything that has a hitch should handle it

I have a diesel truck for the big stuff lol

I wouldn’t tow anything over a couple thousand regularly with anything else anyways

[lime copper]

@magic arrow @shadow osprey a bit spammy there bud.

[shadow osprey]

I know how the server works

But thanks anyways

[lime copper]

[shadow osprey]

😘

Is it a bot that starts limiting text after a certain amount of lines or do you do it manually? @lime copper

[magic arrow]

Not really sure

[shadow osprey]

That was for dooley, but mods don't like being @-ed

[lime copper]

It's the bot. Part of the algorithm totals how many consecutive messages you've sent, how much time is in between them, and how often you do it.

[shadow osprey]

And it disregards other people talking in between or no?

[lime copper]

consecutive messages, meaning if someone else replies, it's fine.

[shadow osprey]

So that would mean it's on a per channel record? not server wide

[magic arrow]

on the flip side, not many ppl in this channel right now

[lime copper]

Server-wide because it's also checking for the one person that spams the same message in every single chat.

[shadow osprey]

Fair, but if I'm active in 3-4 channels and one or two conversations slow while I'm typing, is it gonna ping me lol

[lime copper]

The bot's usually pretty good about it, but with 40k people here, typing like that can look really bad (chat's like waay fast). And as long as you're replying to someone, it's not going to do anything. 1-2 messages at a time per channel per convo is fine, but if it detects that you're spamming and no one else is around

[shadow osprey]

Cool

Last question: Why are you invisible

[magic arrow]

LOL

[shadow osprey]

Way too many people choose appear invisible here. It's honestly really annoying cause half the time I'm trying to help them in tech support and it looks like they went offline so I'm continually @-ing them to make sure they see what I'm saying

@magic arrow Also I would post your reviews on the car thread in the forum. You might get a bit more out reach for pretty minimal effort. Bunch of knowledgeable guys there too.

[magic arrow]

@shadow osprey i've now heard of the forums a few times now, what forums?

Also, the problem for me is, yes I review dog friendly rides, but I don't know if "CAR" ppl like my stuff or not. It's mostly dog orientated you know?

[shadow osprey]

Where did you get the discord link from

[magic arrow]

someone invited me or something i think

[shadow osprey]

The discord link only comes from the forums lol

You know the YouTube channel right?

[magic arrow]

yeah ive been a huge fan of LTT for a while

[shadow osprey]

@shadow osprey thanks! i'll need to double check

maybe i did register at some point and forgot

[shadow osprey]

np

[shadow osprey]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FtNlfAbc2w This new 7.3L from Ford is gonna love boost

[stoic ledge]

I thought it was a diesel engine (since they already had a 7.3 diesel) but it's a 7.3L V8 gas/petrol engine 👀

[shadow osprey]

Yeah

[stoic ledge]

They need to bring a turbo- and/or supercharged version

That thing would fly 😅

[shadow osprey]

Lol yeah I wish

[stoic ledge]

Stock I'm guessing about 450hp / 690Nm ( 506 lb•ft) ?

They haven't released any specs

[shadow osprey]

Around there in torque probably, considering the 6.2 makes low 400 in ph and tq

that's very specific numbers lol

[stoic ledge]

Lol well they lb•ft is just the Nm's converted xD

[shadow osprey]

Yeah, why 590 and not just 600

[stoic ledge]

Ok 450hp/700Nm then, some nice round numbers

xD

[shadow osprey]

lol

[stoic ledge]

Image slapping a supercharger on that... The whining noice...

[stoic ledge]

It's the Dacia Sandero!

(just bought a new car with my grandpa 😂 I suggested something else but he insisted on getting a Dacia so... Here it is 😂 )

It's a mean machine, packing a 0.9L turbocharged engine, packing 90 horses. Driven through a robotic manual 5 speed (so kinda an auto)

[vital glen]

@stoic ledge oh yes, 90horsepower

You are getting towards superbike levels

[stoic ledge]

@vital glen I know right... not sure how he's gonna handle those amounts of power, it's a 20% boost over his old/current car 😮

[jolly harbor]

I found a pristine 2nd gen Plymouth Grand Voyager on Craigslist

Like, bring a trailer quality

[hexed arrow]

Ya boi need big help . Think i did a big stupid🙃... I unplugged the car battery (working with SRS and airbags) left it over night as i was waiting for some parts the car locked and unlocked normal yesterday. Now the car wont open even with the key. (tried both doors and boot). Any idea how to get in without breaking anything? Car is a 2006 hyundai coupe SE.

[stoic ledge]

Just inserting the key doesn't work ?

Should work, even with a flat battery

[hexed arrow]

that is the problem

worked yesterday

🔨 window it is

probably but a replacement from someone who is breaking their car

[stoic ledge]

Odd it doesn't work anymore

[hexed arrow]

or coat hanger it

wait do i have any normal coat hangers at home

MK im joining you in driving an Corsa for a bit then

[stoic ledge]

Not sure, but maybe there is a second "step" with the key lock, with a manual override? I don't know if you understand what I mean, but normally you turn the key to open as far as you can, but if turn it some more, you can turn it more with a manual override. Not all cars have it tho, don't know if a Hyundai Coupe has it

And Corsa ==

[hexed arrow]

have to use it as my airbags went off so i need to replace them

Need to get to work somehow when parent are on holiday, (me and dad work at the same place).

[stoic ledge]

How tf did your airbags go off ?

[hexed arrow]

glanced off a wall at 13km/h

[stoic ledge]

[hexed arrow]

Hyundai had a class action about it and lost because the airbags going off were making low speed accident more dangerous

https://tenor.com/view/smort-smart-peralta-gif-5491689

[stoic ledge]

Sounds like fun

Airbags going of at low speeds

[hexed arrow]

had to replace both front seatbelts (SRS) and srs computer, driver airbag and passenger airbag and i was going to replace the dash today. But the car wont open

[stoic ledge]

Isn't there a way you can get underneath the car and see if you can find the hood release ? If so, you could open the bonnet, connect the battery and open the car 😉

[hexed arrow]

good idea

[stoic ledge]

Good luck 😛

[warm sparrow]

ewww dacia sandero tce 90 🤢

renault engine

3 cyl

🤢

[stoic ledge]

Well, it is faster than his current car

Which is also a Sandero

But the first gen (a 2011 Sandero 1.2 16v with 75hp)

Tbh i'm more 🤢 about the gear box: the manual transmission controlled by a computer so it's an " auto"

Those things are horrible

[unreal pivot]

well if it makes you feel better my mum owns a late 2004 vauxhal Corsa which has a 998cc engine 3cyl

runs like new kid you not

[stoic ledge]

We had a 2003 Corsa 1.2 Easytronic 😛

Those 998cc are OK if you never do any motorway driving 😛

And in the Corsa C it's acceptable, later on in the Corsa D it's unbearable

[unreal pivot]

my brother had a 2005 corsa 1.4 with all the fancy stuffs

and my mum dose a lot of motorway journeys in it

hummm corsa D burn them alllll

[stoic ledge]

I've got a Corsa D

...

[unreal pivot]

[stoic ledge]

What's wrong with a Corsa D

[unreal pivot]

whats right with it

didnt they have a recall on them at one point?

[stoic ledge]

Well a lot of cars had a recall at one point

That's not unusual

[unreal pivot]

hummm true

what was t he reason for the recall i cant remember

[stoic ledge]

Lemme check

Bonnet rust ?

I know that's an issue with early models, but don't know if the had a recall for it

[unreal pivot]

ahh found it

Vauxhall to recall almost one million Corsa D and E (current model) cars, due to risk of fire, after an investigation

ahh and it was the 1.4's mostly

[stoic ledge]

Ah I've got a 1.2 😄

[unreal pivot]

apparently

[stoic ledge]

Never got a letter/call for a recall

Also, no recalls are open for my vehicle on the Motor Department

[unreal pivot]

An engineers’ report from Burnley-based forensic collision firm GBB, commissioned by The Sun, said: “The resistive heating associated with Zafira B failure has also been identified in the heater wiring harnesses of Vauxhall Corsa D models. A fire-damaged Corsa D, with a history of wiring harness damage, was examined to reveal an origin of fire in the region of the heater system.”

The wiring loom in question is believed to be similar to that in the Hummer H3 SUV, which was recalled in the US.

well then

[stoic ledge]

Hehe that's possible, all GM stuff

[unreal pivot]

humm im wondering would vauxhal call directly

[stoic ledge]

But mine is the facelift, in which they fixed most issues

They did with our Meriva tho

[unreal pivot]

ahh that might be why

the face lift was from 2008 want it?

[stoic ledge]

Uhm no, 2011

[unreal pivot]

hu

[stoic ledge]

Actually 2010 for all mechanical and electrical stuff, 2011 for exterior looks with new bumper and stuff

2006: Corsa D v1.0
2010: Corsa D v1.5
2011: Corsa D v2.0

[unreal pivot]

hehehe this is why ill stick to my imported crown vic when it is finished being rebuilt

ahh that is some nice info to have

[stoic ledge]

2011 is easy to tell apart, it has a different facia

[unreal pivot]

my friend has a 2008 model that was used on the shop floor so it has things that you cant get all together

[stoic ledge]

2007:

[unreal pivot]

ahhh

[stoic ledge]

Hehe probably smashed all kinds of parts together on that Corsa

2010 is harder to tell apart tho

[unreal pivot]

yup

[stoic ledge]

It looks like the 2006/2007 on the outside

Easiest way to tell is the light switch

[unreal pivot]

2010 was when a lot of manufactures had updated things

[stoic ledge]

If it has this switch, it's a 2010 or newer

Yeah Opel fixed the Corsa D in 2010, but updated the outside in 2011 for some reason

[unreal pivot]

[stoic ledge]

(or Vauxhall whatever)

[unreal pivot]

odd just do it all at the same time its cheaper

there the same thing to me

[stoic ledge]

Yeah it would have been cheaper but hey... free advertisements probably

In 2010: HEY IT'S THE NEW CORSA

And in 2011 the same

😉

[unreal pivot]

ye i suppose O.O

[stoic ledge]

Twice the news articles

[unreal pivot]

humm but they cost quite a bit tho

[stoic ledge]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

All I can say is, I'm quite happy with my little Corsa 😛

And I've got the facelift so no rust issues, no vage steering feeling, upgraded electronics, better front facia... 😄

[unreal pivot]

ye there not bad cars besides the early model's

like you say rust issues

[stoic ledge]

That's often the case

[unreal pivot]

the heater issues

but yup always the case

[stoic ledge]

Yeah the rust issue is kinda stupid, only thing to fix it was to ass a 3mm large hole so the water could escape

[unreal pivot]

hehe i remember ppl fuming over having to do that

[stoic ledge]

My car came with that hole from the factory 😃

[unreal pivot]

[stoic ledge]

Anyway gotta hit the gym 🥋 Talk to you soon 😉

[unreal pivot]

but you would think companies like this would test that sorta stuff

ok have fun burning those calories

[stoic ledge]

No no, leave it to the customers to test it xD

[unreal pivot]

XD

[stoic ledge]

@hexed arrow did you manage to open it ?

[unreal pivot]

well i was gonna do the gumball 3000 this year

but they have had to move it from the first week of august to the first week of june due to not being able to get the authorisation from the law

[stoic ledge]

[vital glen]

Test,

[stoic ledge]

Don't you need a (expensive) sports car for that ?

And test received ^^

[unreal pivot]

no

just £50,000 for a ticket and that covers everything but fuel

can do it in any car so long you have the money

[stoic ledge]

"Just £50k"
Oh if it's only that xD

[unreal pivot]

XD

maybe one day you might

humm i wonder if linus would do the gumball 3000

i so wanna ping him and ask him but im not gonna get in trouble for a minuscule question

[stoic ledge]

Linus: pays £50k
Also Linus: *Brings the *

[wheat hatch]

[hexed arrow]

@stoic ledge took out the dash, now i have to transfer all the stuff to the new one and install it

[stoic ledge]

@hexed arrow make sure you've got a way to get into the car again 😉

But the dash cracked, so the passenger airbag went off too ? 👀

[hexed arrow]

yea

thats the main pain in the ass

[unreal pivot]

rip

[hexed arrow]

@stoic ledge blew a hole in the dash

everything else was fixed within an hour

[wheat hatch]

doing it outside in the cold?

Absolute mad lad

[unreal pivot]

no other way

[stoic ledge]

Wow that looks horrible

[hexed arrow]

that was last week, no snow now just light rain

[stoic ledge]

Really strange such a small hit set them off

[vital glen]

@stoic ledge pretty common with modern airbags

They either go off really easy

Or not

Go off at all

[stoic ledge]

Yeah but at 10mph ?

On those speeds they do more harm than good

[vital glen]

My friends airbag deployed at around 5mph backing out of a parking lot

He was in his mom's pilot

[stoic ledge]

Wot

[wheat hatch]

damn

hits an ant

boom

[hexed arrow]

mine did at 13km/h when i glanced off a wall because some **** in front of me decided to slam on the brakes on a empty road covered in snow

[wheat hatch]

[unreal pivot]

Xd

[hexed arrow]

[unreal pivot]

what an ass

[wheat hatch]

jesus

when my friends car got sideswiped the airbags didn't go off at all :p

[stoic ledge]

13kph is even less than 10mph, more about 8mph

[wheat hatch]

[stoic ledge]

But sucks to hear that

[wheat hatch]

rolls @ 1 mph

boom

[hexed arrow]

its less G then getting tackled in rugby

[wheat hatch]

[hexed arrow]

its pointless, the more potinless thing is the fact that the dash gets literally blown open when the airbag goes off

[stoic ledge]

Was there actually somebody in the passenger seat ?

[hexed arrow]

aka a 30x20cm piece of steel could get launched at someone's face

yea

[stoic ledge]

Ah ok... Would have been completely useless if there was nobody in that seat

[hexed arrow]

only paid £100 for all the parts

then got quoted £600 for repairs

[unreal pivot]

that is not bad pricing

[hexed arrow]

did most of it in 4 hours myself

[unreal pivot]

on what you paid

[hexed arrow]

someone was breaking their car so i just brought all the parts from them

[stoic ledge]

Airbags for £100 is cheaaap, airbags often go for much more

[wheat hatch]

inb4

[hexed arrow]

2 airbags, 2 srs seatbelts, srs computer and dash

[wheat hatch]

plastic bags

[hexed arrow]

The passenger airbag is an absolute unit

[unreal pivot]

O.O

[stoic ledge]

Be sure to test it before installing

😉

[wheat hatch]

[hexed arrow]

i wont feel it if they dont

[wheat hatch]

You should change name matt

Change it to like

MattTheFixer

okay, maybe not that. It makes you sound like a hitman

[unreal pivot]

ohh even better

[hexed arrow]

cant change my name in this discord

[stoic ledge]

😢

Still... Sucks

[wheat hatch]

The car is a true warria

[unreal pivot]

yup suck in deed

[hexed arrow]

replacement front bumper same colour £50

[unreal pivot]

you might be able to repair that one and keep it as a spare

[hexed arrow]

I'm not going to be changing it this month, spent over £700 on the car in 18 days

[unreal pivot]

ouch

[hexed arrow]

4 new brakes, rotors, 2 callipers and sound system ( and airbags etc.)

[stoic ledge]

[hexed arrow]

i think the front left is still binding so i'll fix it then take it down to the mechanic to fix his mistake

13 year old car with 75k miles. Nothing else apart from tires after that

[stoic ledge]

I member

My brother has a Peugeot in the same colour 🤔

[hexed arrow]

send me some good stickers to meme up the holes in the bumper

im thinking of "Totally engineered air duct" with an arrow pointing at it

[stoic ledge]

That's one way of fixing it

[unreal pivot]

@hexed arrow i just checked yours and its clear

just like my bike

[stoic ledge]

We don't have a website like that 😄

Luckily

[shadow osprey]

@hexed arrow you bagged a Tiburon? Pics or it didn’t happen

[hexed arrow]

@shadow osprey

I need to clean my car

[shadow osprey]

What all that wiring 😂 I don’t know shit about electrical

[hexed arrow]

centre console

bloody spaggette

[shadow osprey]

Ohhhh you meant airbags like on the steering wheel

I thought you meant airbags for suspension

[hexed arrow]

[shadow osprey]

Why would you replace the airbags though

[stoic ledge]

They exploded

After a tiny hit

At 8mph

[warm sparrow]

RIP

why do you answer for him ? XD

pretty bad for the board

have no choice but to replace the whole board 😢

[shadow osprey]

Don’t you have to replace all the sensors also when the bags go off?

[warm sparrow]

probably

[shadow osprey]

I rear ended someone in my truck at like 12 and they went off

Cost like $5500 to repair everything

[warm sparrow]

O.o

with that much money i buy 3 cars XD

[stoic ledge]

@warm sparrow I was answering because he didn't xD

And I think he's replacing the srs computer

[hexed arrow]

@shadow osprey if the sensors needed to be replaced the car's frame would also be trashed. They reset

yea i've got a clean srs computer as well, cheaper then sending it off to get rid of all the hardcode on it

[stoic ledge]

And all that for £100 (:

Not a bad deal

[hexed arrow]

Interesting

[fair elbow]

please tell me you like Prius aswell @swift cape

[delicate sinew]

Cant remember which two dudes here helped me with my car problem but just wanted to drop by and say thank you for your help

Turns out the ice froze to the steel rims on my car and was throwing off my balance because it was literally iced on

The temps got warmer and everything melted and my car's control over 80 was back to normal, so thanks again :)

@fair elbow i plan on getting a Prius Hybrid eventually. I've driven one and it's extremely smooth but I have my reservations about how it handles in the winter weather

[fair elbow]

My father got a Prius V from 2017 after some bloke drove into his engine..... he wanted to get an S-Class as a Taxi but we instead got 20k € back and a brand new Prius V for free, he probably gonna give me his in uh... 1-2 years when it's completely his

Oh and in Winter, it's really smooth, just need the right tires, but I assume you talk about the "sedan" hatchback

https://intax.de/system/html/id-001_toyota-prius-i-ab-2015-taxi-vl-2015-03-19-0d92ca57.jpg

look at that

looks like a Mitsubishi Evo X, but from Toyota and as a Compact SUV

[warm sparrow]

hm

no

just looks like a prius

[fair elbow]

https://performancedrive.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/2016-Mitsubishi-Lancer-Evo-Final-Edition.jpg

it looks more like that than the older gen prius, idk

might be also just me who likes both of them

[delicate sinew]

@fair elbow That's exactly what I was talking about. The right tires are a given. I shouldn't even question it because I currently drive a 2015 Chevrolet Cruze LT and even though it has a 1.4L engine, I'm still driving through the snow while people get stuck

[fair elbow]

hmm well I'm just about to attend the theoretical driver exam, idk anyhting about engines and whatnot, but yeha

[delicate sinew]

Have fun, lol

idc what anyone says about how the Prius looks, I'd rather have a hybrid and save money on gas rather than have to fight over the prices at the pump

But now they have an AWD What in the world

[fair elbow]

I love the Prius

whenever I bring up that, they say "you don't have rights to judge anymore" lol

but when I start working, I switch to Mercedes and probably get a C-Class Coupe

[delicate sinew]

I'm not so sure I want to go for a Mercedes Benz, at least any time soon, but to each their own 😃

I think I may have to shift from the Prius and get something that will allow me to carry ladders and stuff for the next little while. At least until my work gives me a work vehicle

[fair elbow]

well, for me, idk where I'm going to work so after working 6 years, I either go for a G-Class, an S-Class or an GT

really depends on my environment

[vital glen]

@fair elbow big L for your wallet

[fair elbow]

eh, salary grows with time and I'm someone who doesn't know what to do with it 🤷 @vital glen

[vital glen]

@fair elbow invest and have fun

[fair elbow]

that's my plan

first thing probably gonna be my PC setup, from what I looked at, 20k is pretty much the max (for me) after that, nothing really benefits from injecting more money

[jolly harbor]

Hola

Looking to buy a first car that can haul my recycle center finds

and the occasional CRT tv

[fair elbow]

Fiat Multipla

I heard it's very good at it lol... not even joking, but I guess a Pickup/Ute would be helpfull?

or an MPV

[stoic ledge]

Also depends on the country, might be usefull ;)

[fair elbow]

hence why I said Pickup/Ute, I assumed he is from either one of those

[stoic ledge]

Could be, but if he's from Europe both are rare to find ;)

[fair elbow]

yeha... hence why I said MPV then 😛

Ute have to be imported, Pickups basically non existend or pretty expensive, MPV being the cheapest option here

[stoic ledge]

True xD

[fair elbow]

I mean...

MPV - Multi Purpose Vehicle

so if he aint transporting people, just close the seats lol, and you got enough space

[stoic ledge]

Well according to the Dutch Departement of Motor Vehicles, my 3 doors Corsa is a MPV

😂

[fair elbow]

boi

Fiat Multipla is also technically one

[stoic ledge]

Well yeah cars like a Fiat Multipla, Zafira, .... Those are actual MPVs

[fair elbow]

who uses them as anything else but family carriers?

usually they got a van here, like a Vito for example

[stoic ledge]

Well there are VAN versions of some MPVs

[fair elbow]

you mean like the new Zafira compared to the old gen?

[stoic ledge]

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/hTimY8m4Sp0/maxresdefault.jpg

[fair elbow]

ok, that's new?

is this a dutch thing lol

[stoic ledge]

Probably xD

Also based on cars like an Astra or Renault Megane

[fair elbow]

must be a dutch thing xD I bet it, never saw anything like that ever, and especially not in germany

[stoic ledge]

Astra H actually was sold as a van in the UK, with only 3 doors

Astra H in the Netherlands was the Wagon, but with a raised roof

[fair elbow]

[stoic ledge]

Yeah we've got some weird regulations for commercial vehicles

In the UK the've got a Corsa Van and a Astra Van

https://images.honestjohn.co.uk/imagecache/file/width/530/media/5474670/vauxhall_astravan_2012__1_.jpg

[fair elbow]

wtf

[stoic ledge]

It's a 3d wagon :D

[fair elbow]

how come I never stumbled upon those things?

3d wagon?

also, they look like Ute

[stoic ledge]

Idk, that's a special UK version

We had a van based on the normal 5d wagon

With raised roof tho

[fair elbow]

that is Australias Opel

[stoic ledge]

"Opel" xD

[fair elbow]

"Opel" ik

Holden is the quirky Rebranded Opel xd

[stoic ledge]

Well some of them

Not all

[fair elbow]

with some weird... hella weird versions

@jolly harbor mind joining the conversation about you?

[stoic ledge]

Well that Holden shares practucally nothing with an Opel xD

More a rebadged Pontiac G8

[fair elbow]

as I said, Quirky 😛

[stoic ledge]

True (:

[fair elbow]

I'd only drive Opel with a Buick badge... idk why

[stoic ledge]

[fair elbow]

Opel is looked down upon, I like the style of the insignia

so, if I would ever drive one, without the Opel badge

[stoic ledge]

The new Insignia is

Old one too tbh

[fair elbow]

or a MErcedes Badge

[stoic ledge]

The Holden line-up is quite... Strange tbh

[fair elbow]

very odd

[stoic ledge]

Yeah they did xD

[fair elbow]

just mux it with European and American cars.... I mena Asutralia is a American/British mix...... ok makes sense

[stoic ledge]

Astra Sedan and Hatch are completely different cars 😂

[fair elbow]

astra wtf?

sedan?

[stoic ledge]

It's the Chevrolet Cruze

But it's sold as a Holden Astra Sedan

[fair elbow]

this is just confusing

[stoic ledge]

(Opel Astra K is not available in sedan shape, Astra J was tho)

[fair elbow]

ik

but a todays astra is just odd

[stoic ledge]

Yeah Aussie line-up IS confusing

How come ?

[fair elbow]

idk, with the style they got today

it feels weird

maybe because I live in germany

you only see Hatchback Opel

nothing else

[stoic ledge]

Well the Netherlands used to be a wagon country

[fair elbow]

plus a caravan attached to it xD

[stoic ledge]

If there was a wagon available, the biggest share was always a wagon

Reeeeeeeeeeeeee caravans

I hate them

Combined with the smallest engine of course

[fair elbow]

caravans are dead anyway

[stoic ledge]

Not dead, my uncle bought a new one last year 😉

[fair elbow]

I get "Dodge Caravan" and "Caravans in Orange" when looking up "Dutch Caravan" lol

I mean, I don't really see a point in them

[stoic ledge]

Yeah I don't see either

But still, every year thousands of dutchies hook up there caravan behind their eco-base engined company cars to go in to the mountains

[fair elbow]

mountains

in the netherlands

isn't it far to the alps?

[stoic ledge]

Most people to towords the alps

[jolly harbor]

I'm in the US

[fair elbow]

ah, the man we talk about

[stoic ledge]

Get a Econoline van or whatever they call them

[jolly harbor]

Common cars in my parts are Ford Tauruses and Saturns

[fair elbow]

Saturns? uh... new?

[stoic ledge]

Write "free candy" on the side

[jolly harbor]

and I need decent fuel mileage too

[stoic ledge]

Success guaranteed

[jolly harbor]

I'm buying used

Bc I'm broke lol

[fair elbow]

well idk the american market

But Ford and Dodge should be reliable for that

[stoic ledge]

Buying used doesn't mean you're broke

[fair elbow]

Pick up it is

[stoic ledge]

Or an old Minivan, Toyota Sienna or something

[fair elbow]

idk about used minivans....

never heard good about such

hence the build quality

[stoic ledge]

Well.. it's a minivan

[jolly harbor]

If I was buying a used minivan I'd buy a 90s GM Dustbuster

[fair elbow]

what about SUV's

[jolly harbor]

or a 2nd gen Chrysler minivan

SUVs in my price range are all rotted out

[stoic ledge]

Get a single cab long bed truck ;)

[jolly harbor]

And don't get good mileage

Same with trucks

[fair elbow]

get a bicycle

[stoic ledge]

An old Volvo Estate ?

Or Subaru ?

[jolly harbor]

Way too pricey

[fair elbow]

well, I think Diesel is the best choice I guess

[jolly harbor]

Diesel is ultra rare over here

[stoic ledge]

Diesel in the States ?

[fair elbow]

?

[stoic ledge]

Especially older cars

[fair elbow]

Diesel powered?

[jolly harbor]

Nope

[stoic ledge]

Hard to find

[fair elbow]

wtf

I thought all are diesel there?

[jolly harbor]

Nope

[stoic ledge]

Lolz nope

[fair elbow]

whaaaaa

So it's a European thing`

[jolly harbor]

Big gas V8s in our trucks

[stoic ledge]

They live in an almost free gas country

[fair elbow]

that's one fact that surprises me

[jolly harbor]

gas is about $2.10 a gallon

[stoic ledge]

It's cheap there

That's cheap

[jolly harbor]

Yeah

[stoic ledge]

Reaaaally cheap

[jolly harbor]

Considering ten years ago it surged to $4

[fair elbow]

and banned

atleast here... somewhat

[stoic ledge]

"surged to $4" still cheap

xD

[fair elbow]

Getting a Hybrid is the way to go

[stoic ledge]

Probably too expensive

If an old Volvo or Subaru is already too expensive, those are often not very expensive if i'm not mistaken

[fair elbow]

in the us?

[stoic ledge]

Yeaj I think they are

[fair elbow]

well, duh they're not "native"

[stoic ledge]

Ieuw Import Ieuw

[fair elbow]

leuw

[stoic ledge]

But those are quite spacious

Found a 2005 Town & Country (Voyager) for $995

Looks like crap from the outside

But inside is ok

[fair elbow]

now wtf is that brand?

[stoic ledge]

Chrysler

[fair elbow]

oh...

lol

hmm

classic us car

[stoic ledge]

Saturn Vue xD

https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/762217443/overview/

[fair elbow]

that car looks like it's saying "vue"

[stoic ledge]

XC70
https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/763507540/overview/

[fair elbow]

website brok

[stoic ledge]

R.I.P

More "spacious" cheaper cars I can find are some Chrysler Town & Country / Dodge (Grand) Caravan

https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/752166247/overview/
The Subaru I meant

Honda Odyssey, Ford Windstar

Those kind of cars

[fair elbow]

US MPV's

But I think I would go for Asian Brands

like Toyota

[stoic ledge]

Honda is asian

2003 Kia Sedona!

https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/755623665/overview/

[fair elbow]

kia sedona 2018 looks like a Lincoln lol

https://cars.usnews.com/static/images/Auto/izmo/i100899639/2019_lincoln_mkz_angularfront.jpg

I want that

why can't they exist here

[stoic ledge]

Import 😉

[fair elbow]

pff

[stoic ledge]

2009 HRR
https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/759508575/overview/
Quite cheap

[fair elbow]

yikes

need some tuning

[stoic ledge]

Yeah well most cheap US cars are quite rough

@fair elbow

https://www.autoscout24.nl/aanbod/buick-la-crosse-3-6-v6-awd-premium-automatik-leder-20-zoll-benzine-rood-c73066c8-8867-45d0-83f9-bf795786e848

Something for you.. 😛

They also had a Regal a couple of months ago

[fair elbow]

ik, but idk if I really like it

it got.... style

[stoic ledge]

Too bad CO2 tax would make them really expensive over here

So.. what do you drive @fair elbow ?

[fair elbow]

Range Rover Evoque lol

at my driving school xD

[minor steeple]

are you looking to buy something? is that whats going on?

[fair elbow]

nah

some other dude

[stoic ledge]

Evoque at a driving school ?

And no, DrAwesome821 is

[fair elbow]

yes

[stoic ledge]

Oof

I had a 2013 Clio 1.5 dCi at my driving school

[fair elbow]

oof

french car

I won't even drive a car after that.... except picking up my drunk parents at 4 am

from a party

reversed roles ik

[stoic ledge]

Lolz xD

[fair elbow]

[stoic ledge]

And well French cars.... My parents drove a Peugeot for 25 years

[fair elbow]

They've got a Meriva now

[fair elbow]

https://www.autoscout24.de/assets/auto/images/model/opel/opel-meriva/opel-meriva-m-02.jpg

[stoic ledge]

No the one with suicide doors

A Meriva B

[fair elbow]

with what doors?

[stoic ledge]

https://tweakers.net/ext/f/S3KTbbwMrC0xEDPS1iBozNTt/full.jpg

[fair elbow]

boi

[stoic ledge]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_door

[fair elbow]

who thought it was a good idea to open the doors like that

that's not a fancy limousine

[stoic ledge]

It's actually quite usefull

Getting in and out of the car is really easy

And installing a baby seat would be easy too (haven't tried it tho xD)

[fair elbow]

kek

[stoic ledge]

[fair elbow]

Tesla with a Muscle Engine Sound

[stoic ledge]

[fair elbow]

the exhaust is barely hanging on it now has a dent in the pipe the end can is screwed up broken front mirror/indicator (there built in together) bent right handle bar scratched front fairing cracked left fairing really bent rear brake peddle bent front forks and a rider that had to spend 4hrs in A&E to find out i have a cracked collar bone

[swift cape]

Then there's this

[stoic ledge]

Your car is a Prius C 👀

[unreal pivot]

[stoic ledge]

Yes

[unreal pivot]

no my mum's

[stoic ledge]

Ah

[unreal pivot]

XD dont own a car yet

my first car is gonna be a 4.8 crown vic

[stoic ledge]

Never understood why Toyota made a Prius C when they already had a Yaris Hybrid

Oh yeah I remember now

Nasty fall btw ^^^

[unreal pivot]

and actually my mum has a corsa C XD

yes i have a cracked collar bone

i had to call my brake down as i couldn't ride do to the fracture

and my poor go pro took the full force instead of the crash helmet

[stoic ledge]

The lens looks ok tho

[unreal pivot]

yes it is fine it still works there is a couple of scuffs that are on the cover but it dosnt effect the picture

[stoic ledge]

No worries then xD

I've seen GoPro's half burned, still taking vids like new

[unreal pivot]

XD gopro's are tanks

[stoic ledge]

Just like your moms Prius

[unreal pivot]

i still have one of the original gopro hero series

XD u foker

[stoic ledge]

Never had one myself

Prius C is the same car underneath as a Yaris Hybrid... Why go the trouble creating 2 cars which are actually the same

[unreal pivot]

i only have 3 gopro's

but here they are

sadly my waterproof case for the hero 3 died soo it is currently out of action

[stoic ledge]

I have only 3 3 more than me xD

[unreal pivot]

[stoic ledge]

Oh yeah that sucks

Can't get a replacement ?

[unreal pivot]

[magic arrow]

Bleh, totally got car sick filming the trackhawk today T.T

[stoic ledge]

Let me test drive it next time 😉 707hp doesn't scare me

Drives off in 83hp

@unreal pivot CBA ?

[unreal pivot]

[stoic ledge]

Ah ok

[unreal pivot]

[stoic ledge]

[shadow osprey]

@stoic ledge no way lol I don’t have that kind of money

Greengamer

[stoic ledge]

Lol Idk you were talking about is, so I thought maybe you did get one xD

[patent basalt]

Finally got the lame engine pics of my challenger

[shadow osprey]

I really want a fox body but I don’t have the means to do an engine swap so I won’t be able to really make it work if I enter amateur or semi-pro competition

Tucked? @patent basalt

[patent basalt]

Mostly have a few things to hide yet

[shadow osprey]

Never been a fan of shaved/tucked bays

[patent basalt]

Eventually wanna do a pro charger or something but I don’t care about it enough lol

[vital glen]

@patent basalt that is shiny

[shadow osprey]

Lol

It that’s a chrome under hood?

[patent basalt]

Yes it is as I had said before I only use it for shows

If you hate my car you’d. Enjoy the all Chrysler show there’s 100% factory cars there that’s why mine does so well

There’s a ton of them, shows work differently around here

[shadow osprey]

At least you're is different from stock

If a bunch of stock cars compete, it's no wonder why you win lol

I'm not a chrome guy but it's a lot better than this

[fathom socket]

its one aw11 that probably had more issues than could be dealt with, not the end of the world

its okay

[patent basalt]

@shadow osprey I live in the sticks that’s why car shows aren’t as exciting my town has a population of less than 5000 lol

[shadow osprey]

lol gotcha

[fathom socket]

im lucky enough to live in a big town, ive yet to attend a show with my galaxie though

i hope to this summer once its all in order, ac n all

[shadow osprey]

Ooh a galaxie?

[fathom socket]

yeah, a 67 4dr

its suddenly on the front burner since my moms caravan took a fat dump and shes taking my v70

so i have to make it run and drive

[shadow osprey]

How nice of her

[fathom socket]

haha yeah

not even giving me anything for it

so like

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[shadow osprey]

That's pretty cool, that'll be a dope car to daily. A boat I'm sure, and probably terrible gas mileage if it's the stock motor

[fathom socket]

eh, if im light on it itl do okay

its either paying depreciation or paying for gas

[shadow osprey]

What engine?

[fathom socket]

289

2bbl

[patent basalt]

My daily averages 16 both of them do witch is strange considering they are far from similar

[fathom socket]

what are yours?

[patent basalt]

Daily I have a 2008 Chevy duramax for work and a 2018 f150 for my personal use

[fathom socket]

ah i see

i dunno about the duramax but a brand new f150 doing 16?

what are you doing with it?

[shadow osprey]

With a tune and delete I bet your duramax would go up a good bit

[patent basalt]

Ecoboost, and it has a trailer behind it a lot and I use 4 wheel almost everyday

[shadow osprey]

2.7 or 3.5

assuming 3.5

[patent basalt]

Yep 3.5

[shadow osprey]

Yeah no one buys the 2.7

[patent basalt]

It’s a good engine just not with as much towing as I do

[stoic ledge]

There are a couple of 2.7 over here 😉

[shadow osprey]

It's a good engine if you don't tow lol

Maybe if you just have a jon boat or something

Ooh Ford is finally offering the V6 powerstroke in the F150s

[patent basalt]

I’ll probably stick with my 3.5 but when I’m hauling a loader or something for work it gets 8mpg the duramax just always get 16

[fathom socket]

id probably trade in the f150 for a diesel f250 or 350 if all youre doing is towing, the ecoboost isint really the best for it

definitley will wear it out super fast

[tight cypress]

wait wut

ugly murican cars?

[fathom socket]

huh?

[tight cypress]

ford f150?

murican car r?

[fathom socket]

yeah?

[tight cypress]

why does someone even buy em

😄

[fathom socket]

theyre affordable

i mean i have a 96 f250 long bed diesel and it comes in handly time to time

and i think its quite handsome

[tight cypress]

mm

yes some of em are ccool

but they eat alot of fuel

[fathom socket]

negligible

18 city 22 highway i get on it

even loaded it usually will get that

[fathom socket]

escort?

[tight cypress]

yeeh

speedy speed boi

[fathom socket]

[tight cypress]

[unreal pivot]

there much more in the uk

and now with the wrecked bike humm maybe not especially as im importing a car from the us this year

[stoic ledge]

@magic arrow Nice Santa Fe review!

[tropic silo]

That is one fucking massive trailer. Holy shit that thing is bigger than my living room

[magic arrow]

@stoic ledge thanks! it was actually a JOY to film. I'm dreading this Trackhawk video....turns out it's a pretty big deal when there is no moon roof to suction cup a camera

[stoic ledge]

Ow yeah that's tricky... Don't you have like a headrest camera mount ? That could be a solution...

^^^ that caravan/trailer is massive indeed! 😮 Still won't go camping tho xD

[patent basalt]

Nice trailer I’m into some camping as wel

45’ grand design reflection

Hauled by my rusty turd

[shadow osprey]

That’s a lot of trailer for a Land Rover lol

@patent basalt damn, that squat

[patent basalt]

Lol it does a bit 😂 it’s not a light one

[fathom socket]

@patent basalt you consider that a turd??

that seems like a really nice truck by my standards

[patent basalt]

It’s old lol I got it New in 08 its time to replace it soon

It’s starting to rust alittle and is getting up there in miles

[shadow osprey]

08 starting to rust? take care of your cars fam

[patent basalt]

The roads here in the winter are very salty I can’t do much about it sadly

It’s just a work truck for the most part aside from camper duty

[velvet grove]

yea the winters here eat the vehicles aswell.... not very much a guy can do about it.

[shadow osprey]

Fair enough

At least there the weather doesn't eat it in summer also xD

[patent basalt]

This is the window out of my computer room lol it sucks

[hollow wind]

Had a bit of fun with the old landy

[patent basalt]

You into off reading then?? I get into it a bit myself but with this machine

[stoic ledge]

goes offroad in the Fiesta ST 👀

[patent basalt]

Lol I have an orange one now that one was a 16 went to a 17 it’ll be time to replace it this year

That’s my gas saver and it’s fun to drive as well since the two trucks don’t do much for saving gas lol

[stoic ledge]

Get the brand new Fiesta ST

Or isn't is available yet over there ?

Ah you guys don't have the new Fiesta (yet?) 🤔

R.I.P

[shadow osprey]

What's so new about it

[patent basalt]

We don’t get the new one sadly they won’t be making the st here any@ore on the focus or fiesta they are cutting them all together

I’m switching to civic type r In a year or so possibly

[stoic ledge]

Yeah I see... Both the Focus and Fiesta will be discontinued

We've got both a brand new Focus and a brand new Fiesta. This is the Fiesta ST:
https://www.autoblog.com/2018/05/25/2019-ford-fiesta-st-quick-spin-review-no-zoot-for-you/
1.5 EcoBoost now, a 3-cyl 😮

Civic Type R is a nice upgrade in both size and performance!

[patent basalt]

Only down side is no awd on the civic I haven’t had awd since the focus rs and I didn’t really notice too much of a difference daily since I drive a truck in winter the fiesta is a good car just too small may have a kid in the way 😬 the girlfriend just got a brand new Kia Sorento not a bad suv but I’m gonna need something bigger as well lol

[shadow osprey]

@patent basalt @stoic ledge Nah the Focus won't be discontinued

Also I read that as new Focus ST idk why lol

Yeah I did know they were switching to a 3-cyl. Pretty cool

[patent basalt]

Fords cutting the focus for the us everywhere else is getting it

The fiesta fusion and Taurus all gone as well

[shadow osprey]

They're cutting all sedans cars except certain focus models

And the mustang of course

[patent basalt]

They went back in that they aren’t doing those models here anymore some import tax and not making them in Mexico thing happened

[shadow osprey]

Hm didn't hear about that

[patent basalt]

Oh shut just saw they are slightly updating the super duty may be time to upgrade my Chevy 😁

[shadow osprey]

Yeah, new 7.3 gasser and updated 6.7

[patent basalt]

I’m digging it I want a dually this time

[shadow osprey]

Get an F450 xD

Pretty sure it's for the 2020 model year

I'm excited to see the power numbers on the new engines

[stoic ledge]

I thought they were also skipping the Focus for the US, it's not in their Future vehicles list anyway

[shadow osprey]

Future vehicles is just a list of cars they don't already make and are planning

If you're talking about the Ford website

[stoic ledge]

Yes

😛

[shadow osprey]

Yeah that's true for all car websites pretty much

[stoic ledge]

But also, I thought I read something about them not bringing the Focus to the US

Could be wrong tho

[shadow osprey]

I haven’t heard anything past the update from last spring ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[stoic ledge]

AH only the Ford Focus Active will be coming the the US according to Jalopnik 😛

Nope scratch that

I can't read 🤦

[shadow osprey]

What

They should be keeping either a hybrid or plug in Focus

Not sure about the ST, but that would be the only other one they keep

It’s stupid too, since they just came out with the ST and RS

[stoic ledge]

A lot of news sites have confilicting intel 🤔 So not sure

ST will come, atleast here in Europe 😛

[shadow osprey]

Yeah, nothing has been confirmed from Ford besides them cutting most cars

[patent basalt]

It’ll be out fall this year may have to get one

[shadow osprey]

So much for “Ford One”

[stoic ledge]

" One Ford" is a joke 😂

Starts selling new Fusion (Mondeo) back in 2012, but in Europe they wait 2 more years before selling the exact same car

New Focus ST looks promising tho

[shadow osprey]

Ew

Back half looks like a Mazda 3. Front looks like a Miata

The old grille is a lot better

[stoic ledge]

You think? I prefer the new one

Rear looks kinda weird tho, but depends on the trim

ST(-line) looks good, base models... meh

Normal ST-line but paints the picture

[shadow osprey]

That's the early ST front end

Wait we're talking about the Fiesta again?

You said focus

Then compared it to a picture of a Fiesta

Either that or you have a different front bumper in the EU

Or are you talking about the Base Focus

[stoic ledge]

No that's both a Focus, but the ST-line (not the actual ST).

Real ST hasn't been released yet so there are no official pics. The black one above is a test vehicle, not 100% sure it's the official design

Could just be a mule with ST-line bumpers

[shadow osprey]

ST-line?

Is that like Lexus' F package but not an IS F

[stoic ledge]

Yes

[shadow osprey]

Lame lmao

[stoic ledge]

Or BMW M-Package without being a M-BMW

[shadow osprey]

So it's just a focus with suspension

Cause it sure wouldn't have the 2.0T

[stoic ledge]

ST-Line can be bought with almost any engine, like the 1.5 TDCi diesel but also 1.0 and 1.5 EcoBoost 😛

It's just an appearance pack to look like it's really fast

But it isn't

[shadow osprey]

Oh dear

[stoic ledge]

(many brands have a trim llike that, VW has the R-Line so it looks fast but.... yeah)

[shadow osprey]

Yeah, I didn't know people actually bought that

A few of them at least have things like suspension

[stoic ledge]

For the Focus, more than half is a ST-Line

It does have a slightly firmer suspension setup

Because everybody knows, firmer == sportier (:

[shadow osprey]

I wish we got the Fiesta coupe here

[stoic ledge]

Fiesta Coupe? Like the 3d ?

[shadow osprey]

Yeah

[stoic ledge]

For some reason they discontinued the 3 doors Fiesta here in the Netherlands, but you can still get it in other countries in Europe

🤦

I prefer a 3 door over a 5 door

[shadow osprey]

Lol

Same, since I barely ever have other people in my car

And I like being different, even if it's jsut by the amount of doors I have lol

[stoic ledge]

Get a Hyundai Veloster, it's really different xD

Tbh 3 doors look better most of the time, and I've got better visibility in a 3 door.
My seat is pushed back all the way to the back since I'm fairly tall, which puts me right next to the B-pillar in 5 door cars. In 3 doors, the pillar is further back so it's not blocking my field of view

[shadow osprey]

Lol true to all that

[stoic ledge]

As you can see, the Fiesta ST-Line is our best-seller 😂 (Fiesta)

[shadow osprey]

Dank meme

[stoic ledge]

It's not as weird as the " Vignale" trim, which gives you leather on the dashboard and stuff like that

You can compare it to a top of the range version Ford like a Limited or Platinum or whatever

But for a Fiesta, it's just weird

[stoic ledge]

Get this: a full-optioned Fiesta Vignale (1.0 EcoBoost 100hp + auto) is €31.175 😂 Or over $35k USD

[patent basalt]

St lines are stupid af lol you get the good looks and an st but it’s a base engine and trans lol

[stoic ledge]

We'll that's like 95% of the cars around here 😛

Well the last couple of years it is

[stoic ledge]

What a beast 💪 You know it's good when it says Eco on it

[hollow wind]

more like swimming👍🏽

[stoic ledge]

Nice!

Off-roading looks so nice... I've always wanna do it

[vital glen]

@stoic ledge want to see best offroading machine?

They are classed as a in port in the UK and they are to big for some of are roads but they are very nice

[unreal pivot]

@hollow wind do we (the UK ) have noise restrictions on cars

we used to on motorcycle temporary but it caused to much shit and they removed it

[stoic ledge]

In the UK it's 82 dB I think (?)

In the Netherlands, the noise level can't exceed the manufacturers value (with a margin of 2 dB)

[vital glen]

now

[unreal pivot]

humm well that is shit

[vital glen]

@stoic ledge how do they measure that?

right up close or far away

[unreal pivot]

coz the crown vic exceeds that i think

[stoic ledge]

But that value is weird, my car is registered with a noise level of 86 dB where my parents car is rated at just 74 dB, while I've got a smaller engine
