Cars and other kinds of motoring gibberish

Man, the words "ugly" and "unsafe" are now interchangeable with "Reliant Robin"

Hahaha, Reliant Robin :rofl:. Top Gear crew made a space shuttle out of that and tried to send it into outer space :rofl:.

*Note to self* If I ever buy a British car, it has to be an Aston Martin, Bentley, Jaguar, Land Rover, Rolls-Royce or Mini. :sweat:

out of those i believe only aston martin is now back in british hands. bentley(vw), jaguar(ford), land rover(ford), rolls royce and mini(bmw) sadly are not. :puppydog:

I didn't know... that sucks. I hope they're not using Ford parts for those too. I didn't want an American car, so I bought a Japanese one to find out later that the engine was made by ford. I received a few recalls notice, all for the engine.

Due to the drought and water restrictions, we're not even allowed to use a hose when washing your car. Buckets only :(

One bottle should be more than enough.

Former world champion Jacques Villeneuve has slammed Lewis Hamilton's aggressive starts and believes he could cause a major accident soon if he does not stop chopping in front of other drivers.

British rookie Hamilton has regularly made up places at the first corner by muscling his way around other cars, notably in Australia when he went around the outside of two cars to move into second place.

But Canadian veteran Villeneuve thinks the McLaren drivers getaways are a little too reminiscent of controversial legend Michael Schumacher for his liking, and that he should be penalised for them in the future if he does not kerb his tactics.

"When will these chopping moves stop?" Villeneuve told Autosport magazine. "Lewis is not getting penalised for these things ¬ and his behaviour off the startline has started to look the way Michael [Schumacher] used to.

"So far, he has been lucky, so we'll see if it carries on. He makes progressive moves that would have got some of the other drivers black-flagged."

Hamilton has made the most successful start to a career in the 57-year history of Formula One, becoming the first man to finish on the podium in each of his first five races and the youngest man to lead the world championship.

But despite him currently being tied for the championship lead on 38 points with his double champion team-mate Fernando Alonso, Villeneuve believes he has still to prove himself when the pressure is really on.

"Lewis is very fast, but he still has to step up to the plate and beat Alonso," he added. "And we still haven't seen how he reacts under pressure; that will be interesting to watch."
