I am still in my 30s (just!), and I will confirm that is still cool!

My kids walk/cycle to school. But for the dropping off/pick up trips for band etc, apparently the 240 is cool, but the V70 R is rather awesome!

It is cool. I’ve just checked, Hollister, H&M and New Look are doing a roaring trade in Tweed and Cavalry Twill! :tongwink:

Dan wants me to get a Tesla model X next, now that would be awesome!

:-)

No mate, the Grand Canyon is awesome ,
the Tesla is is a very nice milk-float.:tongwink:

A Tesla model X isn’t a milk float Andrew. With the most power and quickest acceleration of any SUV, Model X Plaid is the highest performing SUV ever built:

2.5s - 0-60 mph*
9.9s - 1/4 Mile
1,020hp - Peak Power

PS. Apologies for cutting and pasting a Tesla ad. I’m not keen on EVs myself, but Dan thinks 1,020hp is awesome, and I can’t refute him on that one :-)

You’re right, fastest thing I’ve ever seen on a public highway. A bloke opposite me has one. Nice thing. He says it’s better for the planet…….parked next to his wife’s Disco!:tongwink:

Soul-less electric, not for me. I suspect electric is a flash in the pan, hydrogen is going to be the way forward. Now, can you have a hydrogen V8....

All rsther pointless with the introduction of mandatory soeed limiters this year.

I've been riding a 9.5 second motorbike for 30 years (not continuously, I watch tv, eat my dinner, go to bed, etc, when Im not on the bike) and never been able to safely or legally unleash the full horse. Its good for little more than bragging rights.

Perhaps you are confusing top speed with acceleration Familyman?

I'm also a biker (more so than a car bloke really) and know that sub 9.5 seconds for the quarter mile on a bike is mighty quick acceleration - there have probably only been a handful of road going bikes ever that could do that, and then only with a rider of considerable skill and bravery in ideal conditions. I'm not really a supporter of EVs, but the point of the Tesla model X Plaid is that anyone's grandmother with £110,000 can do a 9.5 second quarter mile. Like it or not, that is seriously impressive.
