Always go back to this video.

"There's no airbag, either. TVR's response has always been 'well don't crash then'"

"In the olden days I always got the impression that TVR built a car, put it on sale, and then found out how it handled. Usually when one of their customers wrote to the factory complaining about how dead he was."

I've been enjoying the Formula E for the wild 'get out of one car and into another' pit stops, and being able to hear all the cars tyre squeals and collisions because they're so quiet.

Also the Gen2 cars look like they're from the future.

Someone described driving in Monaco (I know not the same but another city course) as riding around in your living room on a bicycle. I seem to remember him saying something like is popular with fans for the spectacle of racing through a city, but with drivers it was poo poo because there's no opportunity to pass.

I mean, Formula E being pretty much all city circuits is fantastic tbh

I wasn't sure exactly what spec Suzuki's new Jinmy was going to be, but they've done it right.

Ladder chassis, coil-sprung live axles front and rear, and a proper transfer box. :bisonyes:

That said, taking a small city car down rural dirt tracks and across fields is great until you get stuck in mud.

I was pretty upfront that my plan was (and still is) to convert her to an electric drivetrain. At 28 years old and with her original engine, she's sadly completely non-compliant for any emissions regulations and there's not much point in having a city car you can't drive in London, especially when you live there. But my intention in doing that is to give her at least another 30 years of very beloved life because it's impossible to look at this car without smiling and just sitting in her is a pure delight.
