Downside of 3 is a shockingly useless coverage in the UK.  My only experience of 3 abroad is in the USA, and coverage seemed poor there, but I think that's just America, as their roaming partners were AT&T and Verizon.

we could not get 3 to work in either france or spain, on the trip over there this year,went to the shop today to find out why, fec king useless,got to ring customer service oh joy

talking about driver changes, really hoping that Kimi going to sauber starts beating ferrari whose engines power the sauber,he still finished 3rd in the championship,has more podiums than vettel, and can still break lap records,personally think ferrari made a mistake swapping him for a frenchman! ;D

About 3yrs ago at a Volvo show saw a 850T5 where the owner had removed the rear seats chopped into that area and part of the boot floor and dropped in a second T5 motor,both engines had then been chipped/mapped and he'd added nitrous too :D

yep an its damned quick! also built by a guy on retro rides,search there you will find the build

I accept I could be wrong here, but I didn't think you could use both engines 'on the road'? I have this vague memory from somewhere that says it's illegal. Granted there seems to be an exception for Hybrid.

well they are permanently connected together,also phased at weird angles to mimic the sound of an early aero radial engine,so could be classed as a single engine

and the safety sensors and stuff they require to be compliant.
Ah, so that's the bits I left in the box then ;)
The box that's now in orbit or the box for the new one?
Box for the new one. The old garage door opener was fitted long before millennials took over H&S.
