Oof. Yeah, the Euros had that stuff as mandatory way before anyone else. Renaultsport Clio was my first SC car I think. 2002 model? Something like that. Number one son’s first car was an up! that also had forward AEB

Easily. Stability control is the real killer app, you can do the dumbest things on corner entry and mid corner and it just goes, "All good, I got you."

That's been my whole career in tech, clocking up 27 years this year...so can't all be bad...

An E87 3.0-litre straight six with a supercharger? Sure, why not?

Years ago I owned a manual 130i and got 9L/100km in traffic. So it’s doable. And if you’re currently in a RAM, a V10 M5 uses less…as will a V8 E90 M3.

Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau is exactly the kind of nonsense you'd expect from both of them.

I think it’s covered under thou shalt not covet. I think BMW specifics are buried in Deuteronomy.

The real secret sin is the lustful thoughts over E87s with six-cylinders and an aftermarket supercharger

You are very kind too. Right back at you.

There you go. Crompton was a fan of it from memory and I don’t think he’s a Christian. Some people just like the tradition or idea of it. But I don’t know enough about Betty apart from saying she has never struck me as one.
