Project Car / Motorbike thread. Let's see 'em.

I'm not going to duct the exhaust into the cabin, and promise to keep my air-con on recirculate

The Alfa apparently has a pollution detector in its ventilation system and is supposed to go to recycle automatically if it cops a face full of exhaust like yours - wish it actually worked...

@hifiandmtb - colour me impressed!

There's a lot of very important details on this thing that I look forward to filtering down to regular commuter vehicles.

2020 Porsche Taycan: Five things to know

The 2020 Porsche Tayacan is here & here's what you need to know

Any guesses as to price?

I've got my eye on a Tesla Model 3 performance as a second car. But might hold off until I see what the ev Mini and Jag I-pace are like in the flesh.

$260k+ is my guess.

More I think. It’s big money.

But not made by the big 3. Better to say made in California - it’s a silicone valley product, not Detroit.

It’s a battery on wheels - Tesla are far above everyone for batteries and electronics, the car is just a means of selling them. Luckily it’s a very pretty and well sorted one.

Straya might end up getting theirs from China:

I've sat in one, once. You're right in saying they're pretty, but they're still too small.

 

[hifiandmtb]

I think they are miles too big (for us). Bloody country folks.

Watched a Model X park next to a ford laser today. Fuck they’re big!!

 

[nzhumpy]

Yeah, the model X's are huge, I test drove one for shits and giggles when I was looking a few months back, thing was a rocket ship... and the most relaxed sales people I've dealt with in any industry, I had one follow up call and I explained I wasn't interested and that' s been it, impressive.

Bro’s getting a Model3, attended the showroom in Martin Pl with him & family. As far as I could tell, the “sales people” are just there to stop vandalism & theft.

They knew almost nothing about the product & didn’t try to sell shit.

So a standard car dealer then?

Unfortunately not mate. But some of the vehicles will do a stint in Bmw Museum from time to time. Across the road from the welt.

Makes sense. I think I saw a few of these cars when I attended a function in the groovy little building just to the side of BMW Welt. I think they cycle a range of cars through there. When I was there, it had about half a dozen touring/DTM cars. Not sure if it's open to the public normally.

Quite like this guy as he walks his way through Strayan vehicular prowess:

Check out his other videos.

Last 4 Tesla's I've seen have all been on the back of tow truck. And the only one of the road had destroyed inner wheel guards..

I’ve a mild soft spot for the AU, many many hours spent driving them around NE Victoria as EPA work cars. Mine were all wagons for that extra wallow

Comfy mile munchers though, good for the 1000km a week I did around the Mallee.

I liked them because no one else did - appreciating odd looking cars went with my French car affliction...
