I thought cars now log everything .? Mercedes even transmit where they are and what is happening to them ,back to base ? Telematics ? There was a crossbow murder in Angelsey 2 years ago , the Land Rover discovery ecu held all the data of the crime , and a previous trial run, the murderer did prior . Time the engine started , distance travelled , vehicle stopped . Door opened..door closed ..back door opened ( crossbow removed ,door closed ...etc alll time stamped ?
Warrens fucked if they interrogate his old Prius..

The most amazing thing about that was that the car was torched, the ECU destroyed. However, the car had automatically sent a copy of the data to JLR, who provided it to the police.

I am informed that all new vehicles sold in the UK since 2018 are require to constantly transmit data back to the manufacturer and that data is used by the police/insurance to determine the "at fault" status should the vehicle be involved in an incident.

Big brother is watching you! Bloody modern toss.

All done. He'd never seen one out so much. I have a steering rack boot split. It's going in tomorrow for two new pirellis for £220. Top bloke and give him a fiver tip for £70.

Just been for a proper blast with the boy. It's obviously been transformed and now sticks to the road and handles tremendously.
It's proper rapid now it can do bends and roundabouts.
We've just got out and I'm a little bit trembley.
Very pleased indeed.

Quick maths
250hp ÷1395kg = 180hp per ton. That's quite impressive.
Same as the current focus st but mine was 17.5 times cheaper.

Coming along nicely then.

Coming along nicely then.

I still need to do the thermostat. The heater's great but it only gets to a quarter on the guage around the doors. Fine up to speed though.
Been out for lunch for my mother's birthday and gave it some welly on the way back. It just squats, grips and goes like fuck. Why they designed the box to red line at 55mph in second I have no idea. Maybe the 0-60 would embarrass they're flagship cars like the S4 etc. Even the little pug gets above 60mph in 2nd.
It's probably the fastest car I've owned to date including a t5 with over 300bhp. That was fast but couldn't put the power down. Fine once above third gear though. T-5s do a party trick of 70mph in 2nd gear too.

[LynehamHerc]

Maybe it's 56mph, 90kmh, which might be their 0-60 metric equivalent.

[paulplom]

It's usually 0-100 kmh which is 62mph.
I need to wash it. It was freshly poslished when I picked it up. It minging now.

Did they touch the rear wheels, still look out?
