Australia's entire world view could be summed up as "Notice me America-Senpai". The right tried Geert Wilders on for size before finding him "too Dutch", so Drumpf is the logical next step.

Also as somebody who just spent loving three hours working on a Japanese car trying to disconnect a 17 pin connector wedged right up against a very aggressively angled windshield so you can't see the connector while being in the car because for whatever reason they decided to hardwire everything directly into the HVAC control board and give you 10 inches of wire to fish that loving connector through an ultra tight area and run the connector directly up to the air mix motor when really 30 years ago you just could've just loving used cables: Honda are hosed because they are Japanese and will make everything far more complicated than is needed.

It would be nice if it came with a little Alonso figurine in a beach chair. I wonder if they'll even bother making one for the 2017 car.

My experience wrenching on Toyotas, Nissans and Mitsubishis does not match yours. Landcruisers are very nice to work on except every component weighs a lot. I changed an engine in a small Mitsubishi and I'm pretty sure i only needed a 10mm spanner and an engine crane. French cars on the other hand.. ugh yes it turns out that bolt you've spent an hour trying to loosen is actually reverse threaded.

It pisses me off to no end that VW went from having the easiest cars in the world to work on to this overcomplicated horseshit where everything is finnicky and delicate and you need to drain coolant out of your brake lights.

VAG is especially bad about that stuff and their engine bays. Don't know why they hate car batteries and those who need to access them so much. Also would be remiss if I didn't mention the infamous Audi V8 timing chain(s?):

Vijay "900 million in debt" Mallya is considering renaming Force India to something with more of a "global" taste as all the Indian sponsors and Indian drivers he was hoping would come through haven't so he's going for a more broad portfolio. He also brings up an interesting point of Liberty if they pursue and implement an "NFL-style franchise system" for the teams so the name would be extra important in this case he says. Mr. Mallya would also like to stress that this in no way is related to his immense troubles with the Indian government where he's had his diplomatic passport revoked and an arrest warrant issued for him and he's been essentially hiding out in the UK this entire. No relation whatsoever, nope.

Minto Took posted:Changing the headlights in my Civic recommends taking the front wheels off. It's a requirement on my BMW, which sucks because it then fucks up the hypersensitive active steering system and tyre pressure monitors. I seem to recall a friend being supremely pissed at flooding the engine on his RX8 more regularly than any modern engine realistically should, making him late to a few client meetings. It only took a few of these instances for him to dump it.

It's a good idea for the same reason that USF1 was a bad idea: tying your team's identity to a specific country is a great way to limit fan and sponsor support.

sticksy posted:VAG is especially bad about that stuff and their engine bays. Don't know why they hate car batteries and those who need to access them so much. My dad spent about a year working on an A8 with one of those and that was the watershed moment when I realised VAG had no clue what originally made them great. The wiring harness in those are razor thin too so any flex basically any real flex trying to navigate that paper weight out of the engine bay means there's a real chance you hosed a connector.

My RX7 used to do it and I even have a fuel cut switch wired under the dash but I haven't had it happen once since I got it rebuilt.

Could well have been - I vaguely remember him scaring me off buying one by saying how innately prone they were to it. Whether he thought so because his was a shitheap may have been a factor in that belief though. My brother just spent £1500 on a new timing chain and head gasket on his C180K only to now be told that the timing chain sprockets are pretty horrendously worn and replacements are Mercedes Benz only and cost a further £1500 for the three. All on a car worth, at best, £2000. Meanwhile I hope whichever John turns up to buy my cosmetically immaculate 6 series doesn't notice that the valve stem seals are "totally loving hosed big time mate." Old cars. Always a joy.

I'm curious to see where the name change goes and if he'll try to link up with another manufacturer for branding again like the Aston Martin thing that fell apart. "What are those pink cars?" "Rolls Royce F1"
