  1. Also saw that Uber are pulling a load of driverless cars in the US after the computer flipped one on its side (albeit in a collision with another car potentially at fault)

     

    Interesting conundrum for you - clearly the computer is given code to make decisions, if the decision was to avoid a head on collision at speed which will most likely kill the driver and its occupants, but the only way to avoid it is to swerve and hit some pedestrians by the side of the road, how do you program it to decide...what decision should it make.

    ah, the film (and original book) I Robot springs to mind

  2. Not just this 911, but I really dislike rear spoilers that pop up and have nasty exposed linkages on show, it ruins the lines of some of the most beautiful cars. It's worst when they only pop up an inch or two (Audi!), just fit a fixed one that looks less like a lego technik set and be done with it. I don't care that they're functional, I want beauty!

     

    Sorry if your car has one, it's just my pet peev.

  3. - Needs to have roads suitable for a 2M wide Lambo! I really don't want to be kerbing wheels or scuffing bumpers...

     

     

    My car is nearly 2.3 meters wide

    I'd be more worried about trying to park it - a standard parking space is 2.4m wide :dry:

    our cars are going more american sized but our parking spaces are still static

  4. I've more or less decided, they will come off the car on Thursday and will be up for sale by the weekend. Please PM me if remotely interested

    photos required of your faux pas :lol: :lol: :lol:

  5. just watched it ............. the rattles are clearly very evident ........... that would drive me nuts these days (if i hear a squeak or rattle - I will hunt it down and I will find it) :lol:;)

  6. I went to have a chat with a wheel refurb guy in Swansea last year and whilst we were discussing what I wanted, he took a phone call, went as pale as any person can whilst listening to something being said .............. and as he ran out the door, over his shoulder he shouted gotta go, wheel has just come off a car he'd just done on the M4 :scare: :scare:

     

    needless to say, I didn't go back

  7. can't work out why they are so much cheaper on that site than others - the ops price is good, no question ............ I would be cautious of that site as the old addage "if its too good to be true .... it probably is"

     

    ebay is ebay - you either get lucky on price or you get ripped off (generalisation)
