Right quick quiz, one liners, name the film and the actor…
Come with me if you want to live..
Do you feel lucky, punk?
And you’ll never have to..
I’ll get drive through
I am here, to kick arse, and chew (bubble) gum..
Come with me, or there will be… trouble…

There was a government trial: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/new-noise-camer...
This is the most recent I could find on a quick search: https://www.rbkc.gov.uk/newsroom/all-council-state...
So in your link in California they ban the GT3 yet allow the sale of Zoomies? A handful of GT3s but thousands of modified V8s.......
We are plagued by the silly aftermarket dump valves fitted to every single bloody Audi and Golf.
It's California. Land of the woke and unfree. This is the most recent I could find on a quick search: https://www.rbkc.gov.uk/newsroom/all-council-state...

Slightly off-topic: for a few years now, they have proposition 47 active, which states that any theft below 950 USD is now not a crime anymore but some lesser offence.
Since police, as we now know, is inherently oppressive, racist and whatnot, is defunded in addition. The result, expected to a certain degree, is, that people walk into shops with empty bags, shove entire shelves of stuff into them and just walk out. Walgreens, for example, has a strict "do not interfere" policy because of risk of being sued afterwards. Police doesn't bother to show up and if, offenders are immediately released.
So, you get what you ordered and Walgreens are now closing shops en-masse because even with security it's just not worth it.
p.s: i have removed the links, maybe not the right forum to discuss here.

It's basically B*ll*cks, sorry.
Murray is not a production engineer, he knows nothing about how you mass produce a product.
Take a look at these videos:
2020_Audi_productionline
BMW_i3_productionline
and honestly tell me that any car companies needs "help" from someone like GMD to sort their line out. Safe to say a single stop on that audi line cost more to develop and install than the entire TVR line will cost.
Look even at companies like Aston, who used the simple, scaleable VH platform for years
2019_Aston_productionline
GMD's iStream is simply basic common sense, building a car using volume applicable tooling. There is nothing new there!
You'll have to step a long way down to find what smaller companies like Caterham or Ariel do, and they just build a car at a time pretty much,using a very few skilled workers, and because their BOMs are very simple and low part count, they can juuust about make it work without a suitable part tracking system ie a system that allocates specific parts to specific cars. The problem TVR have (other than having no money making this all irrevelant anyway) is that they have made bold promises about the quality of their product, which frankly, are almost impossible to keep too for a hand built low volume product.....
GMD is not positioning iStream to compete with very large scale mass production. The whole point is to combine commodity materials (metal tube) with automated processing & structural composite panelling to provide a system with many of the cost benefits of mass production without the crippling capital cost.Murray is not a production engineer, he knows nothing about how you mass produce a product.

Now one might argue that there are many other aspects of car production that don’t work at sub-scale and, as a result, iStream hasn’t got traction.

I snore louder than 80 dB… I’m told… obviously I can’t be sure because I very rarely snore when I’m awake. In fact, I can’t ever recall snoring.. awake or asleep… so I might not actually snore at all. Like never… although obviously I can’t prove this. But clearly the bigger question, for all of us that (allegedly) snore, is, do we care? I mean do we.. I don’t. I am however much peeved by my girlfriends snoring. I’m pretty sure it’s knocking on for a hundred and five dB although that’s without any silencing. OK a pillow might lessen the disturbance but then you could be in the realms of attempted murder. Even if your intentions were good.
I am of the opinion that any form of motorised conveyance that can only generate 80dB or less simply isn’t worth owning.
Beastie comes in at a smidgeon under 105 at 4K rpm static..feck knows what it is fly by on full chat

I think that's caused by the Red Hot Chills and someone is trying to be polite
Hmm…. I actually need help at the moment, I’m going through some kind of post Covid trauma, I’m doing something I promised myself I never would.. things aren’t good at present, and yet despite my determination to stick to well founded principles and respect for other road users, I find myself looking at….. caravans.., God help me….Ha! I had to use caravans pre 15 years ago due to having 4 children and not a lot of cash.
We travelled ceaselessly spending as much time away as possible. A 22ft twin axle caravan on the back of my 5.0 Holden Commodore estate with 6 bikes strapped on the rear and the roof.
Now the children have flown and we have a motorhome. I suggest you get one as well!

I remember writing a few months ago, that we have reached the tipping point and that the swing from ICE engines to electrical would gather massive momentum.
Just read this today:
https://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/unternehmen/audi...
German article. It says Audi will not bring any new ice- or even hybrid- !! models to the market after 2026. After the "beginning of the thirties" (i interpret that as something in the range of 2033) they will sell 100% pure electric. Worldwide.
