Does anyone have any idea when Google are going to release specs and open the orderbook for the 4A 5G?
I'm thinking for the extra £150 over the 4A I already have on order, it might be a better long term proposition. Not for 5G, more for screen size, processor, Android updates etc.
A couple of updates on my ownership and something significant I've learned that I kind of knew already but it's just been 100% confirmed...
1st, Bedford, a round-up of how it went... there's not much here I haven't said in an earlier post, but thinking about it more, I'm completely amazed it...
Pixel 4A ordered this morning as a replacement for my aging Pixel 2XL.
Genuine excitement, far more than I should be really! Long wait though, won't see it until 2nd October.
Yes it has.
I was thinking of different pads to go with the ATE fluid I currently have, but now I think why bother?!
They wouldn't increase the fun I had, and I wasn't really using all that the standard pads had to give.
A bit more sideways action here as I try to stay with a stage 2 (450bhp) ZF8, and then keep ahead of another with Bilsteins and brake upgrades aplenty.
Upcoming video I'm filming tomorrow...but, spoiler alert, having measured them the day before I left for the circuit, and then last weekend (a week after the trackday) I can report I had precisely no wear at all on the fronts, and 0.6mm lost from the rears. Genuinely, when I say no wear on the...
Relaxed.
Open pit means track time when you choose, instead of having to keep your car moving in a queue or else go to the back and wait 45m to get back out again.
Also, far far busier, and a lot less strict with the marshalling.
We're all going back at least once next year, I'm up for a...
I tried convicing my wife earlier this would be a good C-Max replacement. Told her it would retain a lot more value, and would probably get quite close to the 58mpg we currently get.
She was having none of it.
Sorry.
Exactly. F*** wearing a full face helmet in a closed cockpit car, it's not a competition, it's a social event.
Boots? For me, I have a lot going on down there so want to feel exactly what I'm doing. Plus my normal H&T on the road is to roll off the side onto the throttle so any shoes will do...
I was super cautious knowing that, as on my first time out at Goodwood, I could ruin the day if I went too hard on them. I am thinking of some better pads next time out although I'll probably just drop them in for the day and then swap back to road pads immediately after. That way I could go for...
Somehow, yesterday, we ended up with a day exactly as above, broken cloud, sunshine, and not one single drop of rain. We were lucky, very very lucky.
Thoughts after my first time on track in the dry with the LSD? HUGE fun!
It might be soft compared to more track focussed things, but the 140...
I spent today getting ready for Bedford on Monday. Car status is still standard apart from the LSD, ATE Typ200 brake fluid, and a CG-Lock.
And a sh*tload of cameras. And tethers. And power cables. And microphones.
The M535i attracted far more attention than anything else, it was immaculate. I never realised they fitted them with a dog 'box, special car, ///M beginnings!
It's very well setup and Reg is a very tidy driver. I watch my laps back now and can clearly see places that need work, I'm giving a ton of lap time away
Good dry grip, progressive on the limit, some comedy moments under braking as the car squirms on its carrier bag sidewalls. I've not taken it out in the wet, but on the road they have immense grip when things get slippery.
I'm going to go for Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSports next time, they have...
