I'm guessing "frunk" is front trunk?

Reminds me of the opening scene of "Atomic Blonde" where someone is loading an unconscious body into the front trunk/boot/storage space of a Porsche 911.... which is ludicrous because there's just about room for a holdall or tiny suitcase.
Who's the cat that won't cop out when there's danger all about?

citroen berlingo van


I now drive a newer Citroen Berlingo van, the engine went on that one due to a dodgy oil pressure sensor leading to failure. Few changes to the layout now get three seats in front although the middle isn't really big enough for an adult but will do when required. As such you lose some loading space as it can't fold right out of the way.
Also no more cassette player
Those things are still around? :P

Reminds me of my grandad's Ford Sierra and him playing cassettes in the car on road trips :D

Nah that's not old, my mate's clapped out Cortina with an 8 track player was old! :P

ye it was a 57 plate and I was quite surprised to find one in it. My dad had a 57 plate berligo as well then but his was a cd player.

However you can buy a cassette with a lead that plugs into a music player via the headphone jack and it would play it on the speakers, which was more convenient than a cd player really.

Yep I remember those adapters, strange idea but they worked.

Weird to think that most modern cars don't use any physical media (unless you count a USB drive).

Reports already coming out that the new LFP battery packs Tesla has in the "standard-range" version model 3 has significantly lower range in the winter. Long-range version has the "old" battery pack still.

Guess the 11 fewer months they spent testing the new battery pack compared to the old one was money well saved, then?

Ships with these started coming to Europe in november, so we might be hearing more about this in the coming months, though at least here in Norway the long-range version is far more common and they've come out well in EV range tests performed here both in summer and winter.

I watched Tiff Needell's new show on ITV last night and he tested the new all electric Porsche Taycan. Now there's an EV that would tempt me! Reeeeeeaaalllly expensive though.

I wonder what job Rooh's doing to have that car...

I don't drive at the moment because public transport is good enough for me and parking spaces are limited around here. However I think I will soon get myself a simple Corsa and use it to travel to beauty spots and other places around the country. Then switch to a nicer model / cooler brand altogether.

I wouldn't mind an Audi or a 3 Series :P

You'd be surprised how cheaply you can pick up an early Mk2 TT . ;)
I was originally looking for a Golf GTi but decent ones were out of my price range.
