@mark-tucker So... uh... what did he do?

Shitposting, probably.

Went for a drink at a friends today, took some blurry photos on my way back :

Speaking for things I'm too old for, did Nibby not make the transition? Or did they finally cross the line?

There were several who decided not to do new Oppo for whatever reasons.

@PowderHound said in Oppo/Autopian DT Farewell Party - Who's coming?:

@KITT222 I cannot make it but you should all meet up before hand, roll in as a group, drive over his yard and form a circle of shitmobiles around his house.
Only then can the summoning begin.

Those common rail V6 TDI are not the early ones with the plastic guides on the distribution (like mine) and are very reliable, you can also almost hit 300hp (and 600nm of torque) with a remap.

It also sounds great with an exhaust :

@Svend said in No more BMWs for U.K. police.:

I don't know if police are driving them differently in the rest of the world but not heard (though haven't looked) for Germany, France, Italy, etc... etc...

I have never seen a police/gendarmerie BMW in France, at least for cars.

Motorbikes are very common though :

Most police cars in France are less powerful, polluting and expensive than a 330d, it seems like a bad use of public money.

@Cash-Rewards said in Search Alert for a... Renault Alpine!?:

@AkioOhtori the lack of interior shots is concerning

@WhoIsTheLeader unfortunately they are popular in north Africa and eastern Europe.

@Cé-hé-sin said in DOTS:

Citroën Elysée

Were they even made in RHD?

@Svend said in Further to Nibby's post on the Fiat Multipla, what else is available?:

1998 Peugeot 406 coupe, 210bhp 3.0 V6. £3,950.

The Peugeot-Renault 3.0 V6 only had 194hp in 98, the 207hp version (modified by Porsche) was not available before 2000.

@Cé-hé-sin said in A thing from where?:

According to French regulations the main ingredient, flour, does not require its origin to be stated because it is from the country suggested by the packaging, Italy. If it was from say America that would need to be disclosed.

The packaging does not mention that it's Italian in any way (using the flag or mentioning the country name for example) so they don't have to mention is the flour is not Italian.

Also, it's the French translation but it could be for selling in other French speaking markets like Belgium or Switzerland and might not be sold with this packaging (or even not at all) in France and thus not requiring to abide to the French legislation.
