  1. I try to give the average Eurobox a very wide berth as well. As the saying goes, life is too short for boring cars.
  2. Interesting reasoning about the TPS. I wonder if it isn't connected properly, it could give a false WOT reading? In any case, I would start by jumping the relay, as it's the easiest thing to do and at this point the most likely cause.
  3. There are quite a few US cars I like the look of. Especially the older muscle cars or 4x4s. Never had the privilege of driving anything like that though. The few 'normal' US cars I've driven have been a total disappointment, I'll happily stick to something British or German. Or even French. 😛
  4. I was worried reading the title that your engine had failed. 'Luckily' it's only a starting issue. And after doing work, so very likely to be a connector or fuse not plugged in correctly. You already found a smoking gun with the relay. Try putting a jumper on it and see it the engine starts that way. If it does, a bad connection to that relay is most plausible, or it could be a bad relay. Fingers crossed you'll be up and running in no time. 😉 Filip
  5. I think most Mustangs fans will disagree with that! 😉 As always, beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. That being sad, I really don't want to see a Multipla convertible! 🤢
  6. Not a car, but very relevant! (and funny 🙂 ) I came close to buying a Harley before I got my first Lotus. I certainly don't regret my choice and where it lead me. 😉
  7. Too bad Grahame, I very much looked forward to meeting you as well. Especially as we couldn't make it work on Jan 1st either. I'm sure Gary and Chris wouldn't mind changing to another weekend if that would mean you could make it. If not, we'll have to find another occasion to meet up. Filip
  8. Let's hope this plan forced on by their 'saviours' doesn't do Lotus more harm than good. Maybe they'll see the light and we'll get at least one more generation of ICE sports cars. I can't deny I'm still hoping for/ dreaming of a new Esprit.
  9. That's recycling isn't it? So later generation will still have oil in the ground to extract. 😄 All kidding aside, while a student I saw the guy next door just drain his oil in the parking lot! Me and the other people in the building were not amused.
  10. You could have a plug-in hybrid with a hydrogen fuel cell as a range extender. It's not even that far fetched, as the hydrogen fuel cell will produce electricity, used to drive an electric motor. And to cater for short power burst, a battery is typically provided to assist the fuel cell. This battery is later recharged by that same fuel cell when power demand is low. Increase the battery size so you have a somewhat useful range et voila, a hydrogen hybrid. I don't know of any in existence though, at least not commercially available. It was considered as an option for trains running on partly electrified lines. But they've recently all moved away from hydrogen, in favor of huge batteries (with limited range and prohibitive charging times).
  11. Glad to see it turned out so well and another part of Eleanor will live on.
  12. I really don't want a LandCruiser, otherwise I'd be tempted to swap this:
  13. Not just China, Germany has ramped up coal production as well. They needed to, because of opting out of nuclear, trying to move away from Russian gas and realising their industry needs something a lot more reliable than wind and solar.
  14. In many countries EVs are actually rolling coal, as that's the cheapest/easiest way to increase electric production capacity...
  15. I was about to like the above post, as I fully agree with the first section. As for vegetarian food companies, I get the feeling a few large manufacturers now have most of the market. Including supermarket's own brands. They control the price and make it hard for the smaller ones to survive. Where as some years ago, it was all niche and everyone could get a piece of the cake. Prices have dropped, no doubt because of scale, so that's something for us consumers.
