This was my WTF moment /  vehicle of the day.  & that is from someone that likes Orange.   

(looks like it would be a good car for the Duke of Edinburgh.  If on it's roof just hitch it to the horses and tow it home.)

George,

 

He would be blinded by the door mirrors . Does it come with automatic seatbelt?

He needs to borrow my Ray Bans if a bit of sunshine on a dull day affects his vision. They work really well and I am sure he can afford a pair on his pension.Stevie Wonder would have seen that car coming.

OK, just how does driving an orange car stop you pulling out onto a major road in front of oncoming traffic?

You quoted the last word of the top line. Then the line below.

It doesn't stop HRH pulling out, but when it is on the roof / ski's you just tow it away behind the horses without roll over with the old codger in it.

Wow a £46,000 Porsche with my old 2017 Vrs245 engine pushing 1,800kg of Germany's finest eventually hitting 139mph. Only slightly quicker than my wife's Karoq but sadly £21,000 dearer. I like the Skoda Rallye Green paint job however. Score 3 out of 10.

 

 

Great daily for Shmee then!!

So his £500,000 Ford GT has already gone back to Ford for a dashboard rattle, I would be fuming. Ford quality never changes.

Yep he always buys Quality (?) .Hence 3 Focus RS mk3,well at least one might be working okay at any one time. (owned or loaned?)

these YouTube videos of people collecting and driving new supercars are just the grown-up equivalents of those annoying blind-box / unwrapping toys videos that my kids seem so enamoured with, right ?

Rules me out of buying a Volvo in the future.

Rules me out of ordering a 2022 porsche

so basically (the general one, not the Volvo limiter) is a technological version of when my mum used to remind my Dad what the current speed limit was. It will ping and be annoying, but you can ignore it if you want.

Imagine the draconian penalties for ignoring the max speed limits but in honesty can’t  really see it happening with the performance models that come from German companies,buying performance models would kill the market.

Perhaps they will do an optional Mother-in-Law version but you can switch it off.

Neighbours' son is getting married today. 

There's a Cayman GT4 to take him and the best man to the wedding

Hope they don't carried away behind the wheel and forget about the most important thing today. Returning it in one piece to the proud owner.

The guy with the M140i seems impressed with the 9.0mpg he's getting on track around Goodwood compared to his more powerful Focus RS (345bhp) which averaged 6.0mpg. However my 336bhp Octavia albeit lighter than both averaged 10.6mpg around the Snetterton 300 circuit last November so bigger is not always better (effeciency).
