Don't know how that happened but I found the knocking, bloody wheel was loose. Not to mention it needs front discs and pads, a wheel bearing, a spring replacing and a battery. French crap. @Vamana Gupta How is the chinessium crap selling over there. We're swamped with dealers changing to electric vehicles, made via the most carbon producing methods totally out weighing any possible benefit to the earth so owners can smell their own farts. I hear they're offered big money off as they're not selling, but many that do then break down and having to go without said crap as parts aren't available. Plus the weight of them is destroying the roads even quicker now . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nute Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 7 hours ago, Vamana Gupta said: Just curious Nute...have you ever taken that toaster on a road trip ?....how was it...maybe things are better in the UK with charging and stuff....like do you get charge anxiety when you drive that thing ? Yes, done a few around the UK. There is good coverage of chargers here and it’s never as cold as it is in Canada so it’s easy. By the time I’ve had a drink and a pee it’s ready to go again. The biggest frustration is the cost of charging away from home, it’s 7p / kw to charge at home but over 10x the cost to charge away from home. Using a Tesla charger is better value at about 50p/kw but there are a lot fewer of those available. Charging in Europe is way cheaper with many places in Scandinavia being free. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Very lazy weekend for me. Didn’t sleep well at all over the last few days, plus the E30 had a nice workout visiting clients in the rain. Yesterday went to bed at 1 and woke up at 10:00, feeling great and came to town for a little stroll around and a bifana for lunch. Afternoon will be spent doing very little, would love to have the GS tomorrow as it’s sunny but it’s 300km away and needs a service. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No not at all, its that im limited by traction and still learning at the strip, I did what I set out to do yesterday though and that was a good tight 60ft cluster i wasn't too worried about e.t for the moment as that will get better when my 60ft times are lower 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe with a little Japanese ninja on it who is a drag champion or its like volkswagens claims on emissions.... very inflated, and given my last time there was August last year, I dont think i did too bad, iv built a baseline and getting myself under 2s 60ft is literally 0.01s away which is nothing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
