  1. I suspect that, if correct, that only applies to some pre Facelift cars. It's certainly not the case on our late 2019 190 TDI SE L. I suspect the cut off point for the changeover was the implementation of WLTP. While I'm here, I'll briefly mount my personal hobby horse and suggest that if you're at all an enthusiastic driver, buy a 4x4 model ,
  2. Macy being her usual self. Her behaviours have changed since we lost her sister last year. She's now much more vocal. She was always very affectionate and now she's very insistent about it.
  3. Do I detect a problem with relying on old memories? Actually, what was taught was that surface area has no effect on friction but mass does. However, that was only true for static friction on smooth surfaces. On the road, wider softer tyres will grip better. Note that In order to exceed 300 MPH in 4 seconds, Top Fuel dragsters must accelerate an average of over 4 G's. In order to reach 200 MPH well before half-track, the launch acceleration approaches 8 G's.
  4. I'll be voting SNP as I have done for several years, in the hope that at some point we can completely disassociate Scotland from Westminster control.
  5. I bought a new Panda in '83. We had some very bad winters back then. I remember I used to happily park it in snow drifts at the side of the road and drive out again.
  6. Of course, I know that you know. That's why I liked your post. I added some clarification for the hard of thinking.
  7. There isn't a Labour Party. There hasn't been a Labour Party since Tory Blair was put in place by his neoliberal paymasters to drag the party away from Socialism under the guise of New Labour. The aim was clearly to dilute the Socialist agenda and gain power by pandering to the post Thatcher aspirations of the, slightly less than Fascist, English middle classes. The choice of party in England is now analogous to that in the USA. Would you like your elected members to be right wing or ultra-right wing?
  8. Ironic or prophetic....? 🤔 https://youtu.be/RE_eN6vRATw?si=C85Wr9KaROabns-k&t=23
  9. Currently, I have CrossClimate+ on the Yeti on the original 17" rims and Dunlop D5 Winter Sport on the Karoq on Audi Q3 17' rims rather than the original 18's. I find the biggest difference in performance is braking on snow, where the Dunlops are bit better than the Michelins but there's not a huge amount in it.
  10. It would be appear that it's only thee and me that's interested in this post, @Lee which, given the worrying nature of its content is a bit of concern in itself. I did, briefly, wonder if it was some false flag, Democrat spoof to discredit Trump because it was barely believable. I set up a Facebook Messenger chat group with several friends in the USA who all confirm that it's genuine.
  11. A ninja distraction to trivialise and disguise his much more serious and malevolent intent...? https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/feb/20/reaction-trump-shoe-sneaker-con
  12. The Koch brothers..... https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/sep/26/koch-brothers-americans-for-prosperity-rightwing-political-group
  13. If this stuff is remotely true then it's potentially the big end of Trump's little end wittering about pulling out of NATO and his cosying up to Putin. It would herald the US becoming a fascist state which would have a knock-on effect pretty much all around the globe. Project 2025 is Another Part of Donald Trump's Insurrection Against America!!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025 https://www.project2025.org/about/about-project-2025/ https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jul/27/project-2025-dismantle-us-climate-policy-next-republican-president If it's true it suggests that the events at the White House in 2021 were just a trial run. Scaremongering? US citizens would never let it happen, they value their freedom too much? You tell me....
  14. Different models. The Outdoor model looks like mine, here. Personally and particularly because good, low mileage ones are thin on the ground, I'd be telling her to be less fussy.
  15. To get to your destination before you need to recharge....? 🤔
