Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

Would if I could, but honestly last months I've probably only driven a thousand miles, sticking with whats outside at minute. Those are useful cars, same as saabs get a lot of car for the money

I'd be interested to hear what sensors require a grille that size (can't find any info other than an 'intelligence panel'), it's about the size of a pair of F1 car's sidepods.

BMW have just started looking gash with their latest offerings.

The original Z4, in my opinion was a lovely looking car (prefer the coupe but the soft top is still a looker).
The latest Z4 is damn hideous

It’s that going into production?

It’s fucking foul!

Anyone still watching Binky?

Enjoyed the last couple.

@furious_tiles thought you might like it. Concept car at the moment but to be fair the most offensive part, the grill(e) is already out there.

@hugo7 yes and totally agree with you.

Feels like it's almost there, but more than that progress is being made.

I also liked the double twist re the turbo in the latest one.

Looks like Daniella Westbrook's nostril after a night on the bugle.

Mole rat

Bimmer grille looks like a robot's arse print.

New Gemera.

Agree entirely about the old Z4 being somewhat more attractive than the concept car, but I would, wouldn't I?

Absolutely love Binky, despite being mechanically illiterate.

The new Gemera is about as relevant to normal motoring as the Saturn 5 is to fixed gear cycling.

Maybe motor cooling, or battery cooling?

Before or after the op?

Wish that car was in Aus, I'd buy it from you for sure. I'd offer fiddy dorrah tho.

Yeah, it’s an odd one though. The shtick has worn pretty thin, the content is delivered so painfully slowly, and there’s only so many custom brackets you can watch being made. Yet here I am, still watching! Did enjoy the turbo leg pull. And do enjoy the serious level of engine geekery.

Maybe someone has some advice with an issue i'm having:

I bought and paid for some parts for my rally car from a company in Germany. I've bought stuff off them before, it's always been a bit slow because it's made to order but they have always delivered.

Something i ordered was delayed, they had been in reasonable contact up until just before christmas but recently their website has gone down and any emails i send them bounce back and the main proprietor has removed me from facebook, where i'd tried messaging him.

I'm starting to get a bit worried that i'm about to loose the best part of 900gbp

Did you buy it with a credit card? About the only was you’ll get your money back by sounds of it...

The shtick

That's never really been my thing. It reminds me of the DT and graphics kids when I was at school. Or motorcycle instructors. I assume it's also what the engineers would have been like at uni.

But I do love the ATD and like reading and watching things that go over my head, and it delivers that.

Plus there's a nostalgia as I watched a lot of it (and Doug D) at a point where mini-H didn't sleep without being held so would have to kill 2-3 hour blocks from 9pm onwards.

What's the name of the company?

It’s a small company in Germany, I paid via TransferWise which might give me some protection, I’d have to look into whether that was via my credit card or not.

I did manage to send an email to him last night without it bouncing back though so maybe there’s hope yet
