I've had nothing but good experiences with uber (apart from one lunatic driver in a Prius once) You never mentioned going to Singapore!

When I was younger my mum used to mix Marmite/Bovril into porridge. I have no idea why she thought that was in any way nice, but I didn't like it one bit. It was truly nasty. Was she trying to poison you? Who knows...

Oh well. If it's just driven (and not owned) then I've covered pretty much everything, except motorcycle engines.

Last one at Malaysia too. Shame. It's a nice track to drive on.

Ooh.
The grille is a bit overdone, but otherwise I quite like that.

Sav, you need a published column mate. You write a lot better than lots of other people I've seen on the Internet. Sort one out for him then Even on a race by race tiny column basis in SG only is a start. What happened to that newspaper gig we found for him a while back?

I'm wondering if there will be special editions... similar to the Golf Match, Wentworth whatever, will we get the Breakfast T Earl Grey T Green T Peppermint T T-Bag or if yours gets stolen (or crashed into a certain Nissan), the T-leaf eTc eTc That's actually pretty good!

Basically it's like the F1 equivalent of three cars going into one merging lane and nobody wants to give way...
All three have some culpability to a certain extent, so I think "racing incident" seems about right.

In local currency about $10-$12. That's really the upper limit for me. These days I go to a friend that a mate recommended, and as such sometimes I get discounts.
I tried the expensive stuff once or twice, but it seemed to make no difference to me. Hair is hair, right?

Kumquat rival; isn't that what the Tiguan is? I think Tiguan goes against X-Trail (more rugged, 4WD)?

I keep misreading the text on the screen behind it as 'Terrifying'. It might as well be. An apt description of this car.

I am genuinely curious to try one of these. The previous Megane RSes were fairly focused weapons and this looks quite a lot different.

Great. I got far more points from my deemed Italy score than I would have got if I'd actually had an attempt. Ditto!

I don't mind coloured seat belts too. Adds a bit of life to an interior.

I think it was on the old place where we had a thread about weird automotive-related dreams. Anyway I had one recently so I thought I'd bring it up.
The dream kinda went like this:
It was an episode of Top Gear/Grand Tour (whatever those three monkeys were doing). And they had a challenge, which was to build an animal-inspired vehicle.
May built a motorbike out of crab shells, which for some reason I found immensely hilarious. His introduction narration was done using the lyrics of the song "Love Me" by Collin Raye (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love,_Me), over shots of May building his bike. Which, while bizarre and inappropriate, only added to the ridiculousness, the implication being that May REALLY loved his creation.
Hammond also had a motorbike, with the front end fashioned to look like an otter's head (why not a hamster, I don't know)
Clarkson turned up in a lorry with a front cab shaped like a monkey's face. And the trailer painted with bananas.
For some reason I never got to any actual challenges. The last I remembered of the dream was the three of them arguing and then getting yelled at by a topless lady (?!). And that was it.

I haven't seen a lot of electric/hybrid crossovers. I wonder why that is.

That looks stunning.
I like that a lot and really hope they succeed.

I wouldn't call it sacrilege but the noise is part of the appeal of a car like this IMO.

That looks not too bad actually. I can even imagine a Renault-badged version passing off as an electric Megane.
