I assume this must be custom, but why would you use an LR2 badge instead of the UK-market nameplate? And if it's not custom, which RHD market had an 'LR2 Autobiography'? @McCons

Are we going to see the #Tesla deliveries / registration / type approval cock-up in the news any time? Or is it all going to be about Musk being a 4D-chess grandmaster? At what point will Tesla run out of storage space for all these undeliverable cars?

Despite this being a FAKE ad, @eBay checked it out and "didn't find the listing to be in violation of our policy".
Haha.
So, can I ask followers to mobilise, click the '?' in bottom right corner and report it as a 'Problem > No item for sale'. Thanks!

For context, yes I know who owns the car, and yes it is 100% a scam / fraud.

Because the rear wheels are the pivot, and there are plenty of spaces that would be virtually impossible to access going front-in.
Are the people rallying against reverse parking the same ones who 'parallel park' by bumping their nose up on the kerb and then back down again??

Why do people reverse into parking spaces?
At first it was one or two misdirected fools, now it's spreading like a disease.
It makes no sense. You are only making it so much harder for yourself, and everyone hates you as you block the road trying to get into the space.

When the NMR implements photo-verified inputs to stop this happening, I'll start believing that it's fit for purpose.

A quick note on the National Mileage Register. Let's say a 24,500-mile car comes into stock, and as part of a stock audit, it get logged as '25,000 miles'. At the next MOT test, it's only got 24,750 miles. The car now has a 'discrepancy', despite no actual discrepancy existing.

Bueno finalmente arrancó la locura de las "repros" para autos eléctricos, y los números del Grupo VAG son una locura.
Aparentemente los modelos "descremados" tienen los mismos motores que los violentos, por ende podés DUPLICAR la potencia cambiando la electrónica... 940HP 🤯

A reminder of what Ferrari will happily sell you. And yes, that is basically Jenga for three grand.
I think some people still have this vision of Ferrari where mythical craftspeople are knocking out elegant V12 sports cars between cigarillo breaks.
The brand changed long ago.

Comparing energy tariffs. Estimate on standard rate is £95/month. But if I select their 'EV tariff', 'solar panel tariff', or 'heat pump tariff' (i.e. if I own those), it's £85/month.
So, a £120 annual saving for *owning* an EV. Not even necessarily using domestic to charge it.

You've got to love the "Why didn't they make it look like a Rimac Nevera?" crowd re: the Ferrari Luce. As if the shape was designed before the product specs...

I keep seeing the same tropes being trotted out about Ferrari, its founder, and the outlook for the Luce.
Here's my take: collectingcars.com/articles/…

Also loving the motoring journalists who have become overnight experts in the stock market, citing that Ferrari's share price has "collapsed" to - oh - exactly the same place it was a week ago, or three weeks ago, or three months ago.

Remember when everyone said that the Cullinan looked too much like a London taxi, and that nowhere near enough customers would buy it, and that the designers were idiots, and that it would be Rolls-Royce's downfall?

Apropos of nothing, back in 2014, Land Rover announced a new variant of a model that would go on sale by the end of that year. It never did, and oddly nobody ever followed up. media.landrover.com/en-gb/ne…

Why doesn't X have software that could have detected and stopped this 2,758 videos ago?

After sourcing 2759 videos from @ViralRushX over the last 6 months, you're now circumventing attribution by simply cropping out his watermark?
You cannot get more shameless than this. This is your last day in the creator program.
