Hah! I'd quite forgotten that I hired a Twingo in Spain and it was a hoot and eminetly practical. And I even liked its 'bug-eyed' looks.I'd love to own an old school model Renault Twingo. My wife had one (but got crunched in a pile up) and I love how they look.
There was an orange one for same nearby and I reallllllllyyy wanted it and paint 01 on the doorsHah! I'd quite forgotten that I hired a Twingo in Spain and it was a hoot and eminetly practical. And I even liked its 'bug-eyed' looks.
I've long thought that they need a low speed sound when moving, and especially when starting off. For a pedestrian they are an almost completely silent predator, and with some of the driver-awareness I've seen in car-parks, lethally-so.Oh please don't get me started on electric cars.
Did you know, you can tell which car is electric by it's tyre sound...

Yup. My favourite moment was always turning sedately and slowly left (UK here) as they squealed off and away.I used to have a lotus 7 style kit car with a tuned up V8 in it kicking out about 700bhp/ton with side pipes and not a lot of silencer.... best fun was always at traffic lights with some bell end boy racer revving the brussels off his souped up whatever, slipping the clutch, inching forward... fun to match him, barking and rumbling... and then pulling sedately away while he went screaming off in a cloud of rubber and smoke and flying con rods... always amused me...

Big fan of my Cobra - Kai and the Dolphin - Flipper (not of the sound not the sound of the Dolphin tho - like millions of dolphins suddenly crying out and....wheezing). Been using the Cobra for combat and mission running faction rep work and the dolphin for mining, station rescues, and space box trucking. At some point I'm gonna get out of the small ships but I can do most things in game I want across combat, trading, and exploring. Current goal is to wrap up the last of Imperial rank head back to Shin Dez and go on a bit of a shopping spree.
In garden news first batch of tomatoes are jarred up after the storm delay. Hoping the cucumber plants have enough cukes by this weekend for some pickles.
And I have to say I do like the look of the cybertruck in a halo meets battlezone kinda way.

Caveat Emptor!It's no good getting all prophetic now, you still cheated me on that souped-up shield booster. There I was in a fight, feeling cocky, I press a button, lose power, and all I smell is burning cream of mushroom.
they do.I've long thought that they need a low speed sound when moving, and especially when starting off. For a pedestrian they are an almost completely silent predator, and with some of the driver-awareness I've seen in car-parks, lethally-so.

At the minute I think the battery tech is almost but not quite there for a lot of makers. GM are recalling all EV models because of battery issues, and makers like Tesla have had problems with fires as well.
I'd be interested in knowing how battery tech deals with crashes these days![]()

"Those 50 pages I have missed will stay lost in time forever, like tears in rain."
is that how the mods punish forum users these days? they keep them from viewing and participating in the best thread in the forum for 50 pages? ...however long that takes.
