  1. On the petrol front, they'll one say be no choice as there won't be any to use - water on the other hand......
  2. Drive is very much in the commuter vehicle category, id imagine when you’d press on you’d feel the weight of the 1850kg around you for sure. Just a strange feeling to know you in a vehicle thats not powered by fuel or plug in. He went on to say the fast charge points you see at service stations, EV consume enough juice to power 3 average households for a week. Brakes of course full eclectic flyby wire, main battery regen under what we know as over run and braking. Of course pre crash system, blind spot monitor, wireless smart phone charging.
  3. And the engine? No the fuel cell stack feeder, fashioned to look like an engine is all. Kinda like a terminator designed to look like a human so it blends in haha
  4. Never thought I'd see the day i get to drive a hydrogen car. Amazing bit of engineering and fascinating how it all works, even if the 700bar fuel tank made me feel a little uneasy. Chatting with Simon Calado (pretty big noise for the company, as he delivered every LFA sold in the country and some in Europe including the 7:14 Nurburgring pack edition) these expel upto 8 litres of fresh water for every 100km, but does have a dedicated button to drain on demand. Headline figures: 300 mile range from 5kg of hydrogen, zero emissions, refueling takes 3 minutes, cicra 155bhp and £61k before government grant.

Im not sure what i was expecting in terms of drive feel. Maybe clunky, noisy gases, noises that resemble buses air brakes. Nope, drives just like any EV as the wheels are powered via an electronic motor. Of course INSTANT full power from essentially idle. Smooth again of course quiet and all the electrics seem to work mad quick. Example, power seats normally operate slow, not in this it's too quick and the electronic lumber support can me out too haha. Oh yeah with every purchase, Toyota gives you free refills FOR LIFE!!
  5. If you've bought it and had good results, keep using it id say. Generally the ArmourAll range i find is very good for the costs, the tyre shine and leather care are my favorite.
  6. Decent 7/10 episode for me - not overly interested in the off road buggy racing section, just didnt see the relevance........... The new Ford GT
  7. Actually the half 180 bend pipes works better i think. I'd have reversed the intake pipes on the flange to create that overlap look. Not ultimately best for flow maybe, but visually they'd look neat and compact similar to......
  8. Living life, looks BOSS
  9. Yes i did all three, idle control valve, pedal position reset and throttle body reset.
  10. Wait till this car turns up to a meet, akward................
  11. Plenty on eBay, cheap enough
  12. Saw that blip pass in the rough part of town haha
  13. My pair and the Mrs has a Note
  14. Was there any cost difference between the two?
