When did we go from
"Show us your crash pics!!" to "Show us random pics of crashed cars and speculate?"
This new version is very dull and we are not learning from other's lessons.
Got to agree"Show us your crash pics!!" to "Show us random pics of crashed cars and speculate?"
This new version is very dull and we are not learning from other's lessons.
So I'll say the wording is ambiguous, and "your" could refer to the pictures just as easily as the crashes.

Hopefully this is better. A good example of ambition outweighing talent.
A gold star for anyone who can guess the repair bill (air bags were not deployed and I drove home).

£15k?!
Was this a result of the steering problem you mentioned on the Type-R thread?

Cold tyres, cold surface - game over.
No, that's in no way an inevitability. I've spent the last two winters driving a 470 lb/ft rear wheel drive car to Scotland and back on summer tyres, the coldest temperature I saw was -11c. I can count the number of hairy moments, never mind times I f

"Pop-up hood power unit". Those are the equivalent of pedestrian airbags for the bonnet, AIUI?The fact that they've fired, will also explain the new sensor assembly for behind the front bumper. Not a simple case of swapping the parking sensors over. Oh, and the new hinges, even though they're a good few feet from the action.
All in the pursuit of NCAP ratings.
(Although with the news from a couple of days ago that NCAP are insisting on "some" buttons returning/being retained in the interior of cars (which, reading, seems to be larkely limited to stalks on the steering column) might be a good thing).

Yup, they're the explosive units that have made the bonnet look like it's open - from the hinged end!!

Of all the safety systems which are a pain (like lane keeping and auto-braking), protecting pedestrian's heads is a reasonable pursuit imho.The fact that they've fired, will also explain the new sensor assembly for behind the front bumper.

Serious question regarding the Porsche, considering the value and the fact that it cannot be replaced (sold out) would it still not be repaired or is it beyond repair.
Mat Armstrong maybe. Not sure if he has a thing about not doing the same type of car after the one he rebuilt in the US.Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
