Todays favourite car is......

Keepin it with the bug vibe... Here's my first ever car, owned since I was 17 and still driving it around 27 years later, although the redonculous 2.4litre supercharged Type4 motor (best 10.89 1/4mile) has gone, it's now got the old race engine out of the 914 in it 8) https://www.thesamba.com/vw/gal...

Thanks guys, looks like I was too slow, the car is sold The search continues

Anyone know of a knowledgable chap who can inspect a car for me in Reading? I know next to nothing about 964's so would appreciate someone a bit closer to take a look for me and see if it's a good 'un.

Cheers

I've got more faith in the pace of technology than the pace of governments sorting things out. New disruptive technology has a habit of becoming mainstream very quickly nowadays. The iPhone is only 10 years old and very quickly everyone had a smart phone in their pockets. The Nissan Leaf was arguabl...

Oops that's what happens when you try to answer work emails, do maths and type a post all while drinking coffee and eating a sandwich

Thanks, I've now corrected my original post

While I'm eating my sarney here's some quick maths: Yesterday the peak demand of NGrid was around 35GW, which fell to about 20GW overnight So for 7 hours (11.30pm thru to 6.30am) the grid could have quite happily kept going at 35GW (i.e. 15GW spare capacity), which after 7 hours would have produced ...

Fetuhoe - you are a classic example of why education on this subject is so important. Your maths and facts are so wrong. I've not got time to correct you on everything right now and quite frankly can't be arsed but you need to do more in depth research. I've worked in the power industry since 1999 a...

Ahhhh :shock: Looks like I'm going to have to staff up, again :cheers: As someone who's been driving hybrids and EVs for the past 10 years I think we've now arrived at the tipping point where EVs are no longer a novelty for the rich eco warrior or a tech toy for the early adopters. They are now a ve...

Get out of my back garden ya feckers

Enjoy the rest of the day tomorrow and watch out for the speed camera vans and un-marked police car/bikes up on the EVO triangle as they're clamping down a lot up there recently.

Nope. On second thoughts, after looking at the available gear ratios of the Bus 6 rib box it's back to a 915 for me. The bus box would be seriously screaming over 100mph, and from the looks of it there's just as much work to get a Bus box into a Beetle as there is a 915 (maybe more :? ). I'm still o...

Now THAT Bruce my good friend is a bloody good idea. It'll get me quickly and relatively cheaply out of the shite for now. The Type2 output flanges should match my 944 CV joints too. Good plan. It probably won't have the ratios I need to achieve my target of 150mph, but at least it will give me the ...

Oops, my 1303 seems to have eaten my gearbox so it's time to upgrade to something more serious. Anyone got a 915 box out there in good order?

I do like those wheels /\ /\ /\ Can someone enlighten me as they'll look perfect on the BMW CSi we're doing
