The composer Sir Thomas Beecham famously said: “In this life, try everything once, except for incest and folk dancing” to which I have always mentally appended “and free fall parachuting, and driving at the ‘ring’.” Yet taking up the Nrburgring gauntlet has become almost a rite of passage for any self respecting fan of high speed driving, and not doing so is akin to an opera lover ignoring Glyndebourne or an oenophile avoiding Chteau Ptrus.

For a few years I went on a cruise with a group of highly loyal BMW guys. They are so loyal to the point where they didn invite me this year due to the fact I bought a model 3. Wouldn even give driving it a chance. Guy from Norway that makes the drive each year: “EV are so bland and boring, they aren drivers cars. They are so highly incentivised in Norway, no taxes, no vat, no toll fees and free parking. We are a dying breed, we better keep going until white men with collars lock us up.”

I make that trip a few times a year for racing. it doesn make financial sense to take an additional two days off for travel, just do it in one long haul. Most of the guys I race with are doing the same thing. Of course, that only 20 ish people so it sure is an edge case but there are also plenty of people in the US doing similar travel.

Today those fuels are still offered at gas stations and the government forces gas producers to mix it into the gasoline (heavily jeopardizing the overall gasoline quality). Other than that, there is an equation that gas stations put up showing when its better to buy biofuels than gasoline. I never seen the equation pointing towards them.

The car was unveiled inside the belly of a cargo plane at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. Inside, BMW’s executives displayed working versions of some of the technologies being considered for the car, including touch sensitive fabrics and interactive projections. As with any concept vehicle, it’s not yet clear which aspects or capabilities will actually be in the production version.

Just like having the engine running on a ICE car. So if the 12 battery is too dead to fire up the controllers the HV battery can be energized and therefore can be charged either. So the battery is likely not dead enough to have the car be completely dead (no door locks no nothing) but too dead to pull in the line contactor for the HV battery.

The daily sticky thread allows for more casual conversation and is the place for individual updates and individual experiences whether they are routine or just not worth a separate submission. Individual shopping and support experiences belong in the sticky. Frequently asked questions and low effort text posts on repetitive topics are additionally directed to the sticky thread.

There was always the option to install the base with a seat belt which is what we were planning on, but the lady on the phone told me that we wouldn’t be using the base at all and that we’d just have to strap the seat in with the belt which doesn’t seem all that safe to me.

The circuit that will be used for July’s grand prix was opened in 1984 and measures a more manageable 5.1km. Some have deemed it “dull”, but these are mostly people who haven’t had the experience of racing on it. Virtually any racetrack seems on the mild side compared with the Nordschleife, which forms the major part of the original Nrburgring as it was inaugurated in 1927.

I know i have not accounted for maintenance, which is definitely the curve ball in this scenario. I have a family friend who has owned a BMW shop since 1980 and is going to examine any car i might get, and will do all the work. So im not too worried about getting bent over in the repair shop.

To boot, there was no adult supervision at all. She can’t honestly say she was careful.What I do know about are cars, motorcycles, boats, machines etc and I’m a very qualified mechanic in several fields with an amateur motorsports history.I live in a very rural part of Ireland where we tend to know most people in a 10 mile radius.

PP (previous poster) are right though, you almost definitely have to move up to a 4 door for the post infant seat stage (which can come anywhere from 6 months to over a year depending on your babies’ height and weight. We just like every month we don’t have to pay for a new car. We tried some of the smallest convertible rear facing seats out and like PP (previous poster) said, it’s impossible to buckle them in there when you’re bending over. I do a lot of yoga, and I can’t imagine any way it will be possible. So, within a year, we’re probably in the market for a sedan with a big trunk, unless the minivan disease really takes hold.

It takes about 16 hours to fully charge from empty, whereas a 240V, 30A takes only 2 3 hours.Always Be Charging. If you can plug in somewhere, do it. It removes all range anxiety. Any time you park at home, plug it in. Make it a habit. It takes all of 15 seconds when you park your car, and you never have to visit a gas station.

I forgot to mention that the “kit” 55 200 and 55 300 lenses are actually fine little lenses. They lightweight and compact (especially the 55 200) and take perfectly fine pictures (although the 55 300 may be a little soft past 200mm from my very limited experience with them). They big thing is they don focus as quickly and surely as the bigger lenses with the true AF S ring motors in them. I found my old 55 200 VR useless for stuff like football with lots of chaotic movement and disappearing subjects but for more predictable sports like tennis and baseball in the daytime, it did pretty well and I got a lot of good shots with mine over the years your hit rate isn as high though because you miss things because the lens just couldn rack to where you needed it fast enough. I do recommend VR on these lenses as they don have the mass of the bigger lenses and don damp vibrations naturally as much which makes the image in the viewfinder (and what the AF sensor is seeing) jump around a lot more, even if you shooting at speeds that don normally require VR.

I have drag raced BMW cars at a BMW event, and I have noticed most automatics have a limit to how much torque can be output by the torque converter to the wheel. Even if the other guy launched it hard, you should be able to stay ahead at least until the first gear change. If you can shift fast enough, you can beat most non high end automatics.

So try to keep the weight in the front as much as possible (even in slight corners where you don need to brake) just tap the brakes slightly to swift the weight to the front (start driving Porsches to master this, especially the RSR is a good learning tool for this).

16) Andrew Yang. Absolutely robotic. Couldn even answer the softball question lobbed his way and on literally every other issue his response was UBI will fix it somehow because just because. Couldn even be bothered to follow dress code. He wouldn even pass as a certified pre owned with extended warrenty below market price BMW salesmen. Silicon Valley vaporware at its finest.

We actually in Southern Ontario but in the snowbelt a couple of weeks ago all of the roads in our county were closed for a couple of days. We new here so it been quite a learning experience. DH says nearly everyone he works with owns an SUV/truck. At least they do get paid when there are snow days.

So I hate to do this because I tried to use this exact argument as to how it not so much Tesla leading the charge into a BEV future, but governments, but so far (unless something had changed in the past 6 months) none of those countries have any sort of signed and ratified legislation those dates are just promises/pledges. Maybe they will happen, maybe they won It likely depend on the feasibility of actually banning ICE/PHEV vehicles at the time. I suspect those who set 2025 dates will push those back. I suspect those 카지노사이트 who set 2040 dates might be ok. That said, 20 years of more PHEV and less pure ICE is absolutely a good step and absolutely part of the solutions.

I am so shocked at these stories as related by “victims” and their relatives. Of course the victims all being so innocent. I noted no relation of the conviction rate of the victims or followup on suspensions/probation and firings of any wrong doing cop. What to we have? 5 million in jail and 5 million law enforcement personnel. Let us see, and each cop making at least two “contacts” a day? Get back to me on percentages.

Less Room to Swing a CatThe power unit was to have been a cutting edge rotary Wankel engine purchased from General Motors. The car was designed around that engine. Unfortunately GM withdrew, as the Wankel was proving neither reliable nor fuel efficient, and in the wake of the 1974 Arab oil embargo this was now an issue. The engine also produced high amounts of N0x gasses that would not comply with the new emissions regulations. straight six under the hood. It was a tight fit but they squeezed it in. This change compromised the interior space and effectively rendered it a four seater as it necessitated the use of a drive tunnel to get the power to the rear wheels which took up space in the rear seating area. The Wankel which would have been front wheel drive would have needed no such tunnel. The car was still roomy but not as roomy as it might have been.

That the name of the game. They did their best to make it competitive, and have been on several occassions, even in its first season. Besides, when they first unveiled the car they sought to make some aero changes to make the car more low slung, and a (yet unnamed to my knowledge) competing manufacturer at the negotiating table vetoed their ability to make such a major change to the car at such a late stage, setting them (their words) 6 months behind in the development curve.

And on a roadtrip? You have to go to the bathroom, maybe buy some more water, possibly a snack. If you have young kids it more involved, there are diaper changes involved, cleaning the car of trash and disposing of it properly, and so forth. By the time that is done, you received the “you may incur idle fees” message on your phone.

When we bought this car, I was in the midst of the throws of infertility and even with the tiniest glimmer of hope that I’d ever get pregnant, I didn’t think there would be any issue with fitting a rear facing car seat in the back. After all, the back two bucket seats both have the latches for car seat systems. ) is the smallest one I’d find. With my passenger seat in its very most foward and upright position, I literally had to use my body weight to click it to where it would stay put without springing into the dash again. Is it possible that this sales associate was correct in telling me that this is the smallest car seat available in the United States? I want to believe that she’s wrong.

How They’re ConstructedCabinet box The cabinet box is generally touted as “all plywood” and it is. However, the plywood itself is purchased with low price in mind, so it is common to experience peeling veneers and severely warped panels. Furthermore, the interior coatings used to finish the plywood are of low quality, so the interior generally has a ‘starved’ and coarse look/feel.

8. (Saloon)s are comfortable and lovable cars, and they are also the most common body style. These are commonly 4 door cars with 4+ seats. They are fully covered with a fixed rooftop and have full height all the way to the rear windows. s are also known as ‘saloons’ in British English.

So what do you need on top of the $20,000 asking price? Not much really. Of course, you need the engine, transmission, and rear end. There are plenty of brand new or second hand options on that. You need original Ford headers, but not the rest of the exhaust. You need wheels and tyres, but there are so many options as this car uses the Mustang bolt pattern. Next is paint, which, once again, is totally up to you! Last, you need a fuel pump and battery. All in all, you could build one up for $25,000 upwards.

A friend of mine had two Grand Nationals, and they were incredible cars. Both were stolen and subsequently wrecked. I’ve had an ’84 Camaro that I built up from nothing and an ’04 GTO (my first car was a 1980 Jeep Wagoneer), but I think my true interest remains in the pre ECU General Motors muscle cars.

Later that week I was driving my BMW 735 too fast (near my home) and got pulled over by a police officer who informed me my tail light was not working. I told him to follow behind me to the next filling station where I would get it repaired and he obeyed like a puppy, even helping to replace the lamp.
