Nothing insurmountable wrong with it, but I drew the line at having to buy tyres on the way home.
It would have been a stonking deal though.
The add says cheap to tax ,duh its 585 a year

« on: 26 November 2021, 12:45:09 »At 860 horsepower I’m not surprised
Acceleration was quite uncomfortable to be honest, noise was superb

« on: 26 November 2021, 11:58:49 »The 2.3 turbo is quicker than the V8, so there's that. Oh and it's cheaper. And, carefully optioned, even looks like it...
The current one is an SUV, so a Mustang in name only.
At the classic car show I had a ride for charity in a 5.0 mustang that had been played with, 860bhp with suspension and brake mods to suit. Performance was absolutely brutal and handling seemed pretty impressive too

« on: 25 November 2021, 11:26:15 »There may be some confusion over the new trim level badging of these new Audis. 50 Q8 (or the other way round?) does not mean 5.0 litre, 50 is the trim level.
I'm sure Audi use the Lambo V10 5.0 in something.
.....or did.
The RS6 had the 5.0 V10 for a while

Introduced in 1955 it was like a spaceship from the future when compared with a ponderous old Austin or Humber of the time.
.....
Especially when you compare it with what it replaced .. Traction Avant!
I was oggling an SM at the NEC last weekend, my lad didnt know what it was but was impressed by the Maserati lump up front

« on: 09 November 2021, 14:58:43 »I've been trying to educate Albs for ages, it's the car you see. Faster car equals winning race.
It can be either or both. A great driver can beat a not so great driver whose car is faster, up to a point.
The Red Bull was half a second a lap faster in Mexico, and theres not much anyone can do about that, no matter how great they are.
I also think Mercedes as a team are cracking under the pressure to a degree. They have made quite a few strategy and pit stop mistakes over the season.
Its been a long time since they faced really close competition over the course of a whole season and I think they are struggling with that.
If they cant overturn the Red Bull advantage by the next race Hamilton wont stand a chance of winning the chamionship.
It doesnt help that Red Bull now have two drivers up at the front and Bottas looks more ridiculous with every race weekend.
For me, its all a bit irrelevant, as the sport I used to love doesnt really exist any more.
Theres very little good that I can find to say about it. It has disappeared up its own arse.
I'm hoping the new cars next year will improve the racing wheel to wheel
