If they were hit by a meteorite, they'd take all the other vehicles with them  :)

If the last car on earth was made by Stellantis I'd rather walk, so not bothered what form of dead dinosaur they burn. ;D

Ah but what will the emissions be ? Will you be allowed to drive in built up areas?

It's mainly aimed at Europe, I think. Millipede will probably ban them from being imported.

Nothing used to hear me up more when I was in the Battlebus - before DTM fixed it - of lifting then flooring the throttle, covering the car following too close behind in a cloud of soot.

I always used to chuckle ;D


Wasn't half as much fun after DTM made the Battlebus work properly, but was a damn site quicker ;D

A mate of mine bought 2 minis for £50 back when we were young, with the idea of making one good one. One was an 850 with rather poor piston rings. At one point, we were being tailgated by some tawt in a white convertible rolls royce. He dropped it down a cog and let it overrun for a second, then floored it and he disappeared in a plume of blue smoke. Kept his distance after that!

Yes. But will you be able to sell them in the UK, that's the question.

I have to say I've been looking at used F-Type recently. A proper Jag. >:D. I can't really justify buying one but....... ::)

The new Jag will probably only be sold to the LGBTQ+ community. Jaguar have made it quite clear they have no interest in straight white men.

I have been out, and driven, the new X900 a few times.

We all agree that a V12 would work nicely in it but, the 1000bhp is also pretty interesting

Pah, for real fun you need to be running on WVO obtained from the local curry house. I used to larf my arse off when sat at traffic lights, looking in the rear view mirror, lip reading the driver in the car behind saying to their passengers " Whats that farkin smell ?"   :o ;D
First time I took it for MOT he said, "Get that thing out of here. Its a workshop not a farkin chip shop. Come back when you have some proper fuel in the tank".  ;D
