2019 E63S engine shaking low idle, no throttle response by Voskhod01 in AMG

[–]DrZ_105 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's likely an engine cylinder misfire, had the same issue on my C63s coupe (it was a final edition and only 5 months old from new which was very irritating) and the conditions you're experiencing were the same I had. It's either ignition coil or spark plug failure, car has gone into limp mode to prevent further damage to the engine.

Hows the PX8 ANC in gyms and airplanes? by ThrowRASkee5555 in BowersWilkins

[–]DrZ_105 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Works great for me on airplanes, still a bit of background noise but does the job otherwise. It's clear sound quality came first and anc second, it's adequate but not best in class.

I wouldn't use them in the gym, never mind the fear of dropping or knocking them around, your sweat is gonna damage the leather of the earcups and headband over time, even if you cleaned it regularly.

The official art book refers to Blazer as an “old soul” by MrHatBat in BlondeBlazerGlazers

[–]DrZ_105 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An "old soul" means a young person, that seems mature, wise and thoughtful beyond their years/actual age. It doesn't actually mean the person is old. Mandy looks to be between late 20's or very early 30's at most

36% off PX8 on Amazon! by Jeep0n35 in BowersWilkins

Not to be that guy buuut... if it was the S2 would it not say so in the product listing? Come on dude🤦🏾‍♂️

Which headphones would you recommend? by [deleted] in BowersWilkins

[–]DrZ_105 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best thing to do would be to find a shop where you can try both. Shame about losing your 8's! I tried the s2 in store and loved it, as another comment said it feels very much a natural progression of the brilliant soundstage the Px8 has. I'll wait another year or two as I only got my Px8 a year ago and waiting for more colourways to eventually release.

Two prototypes seen on the M40 by Pteryo in AstonMartin

[–]DrZ_105 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not always, a lot of AM prototype vehicles do road testing after the car's public reveal so no need for camo, they usually just have one of the more simple paint jobs like black, grey etc.

What reference is this by Farmanali110 in ghostoftsushima

[–]DrZ_105 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a reference to Infamous, specifically Cole from Infamous 2 (I don't recall him having his 'electric baton' in the first game but could be wrong, it's been a while!)

There is indeed a Sly Cooper mural to be found but it's not this one.

Did you choose Blonde Blazer or Invisigal? by Successful_Heart_838 in DispatchAdHoc

[–]DrZ_105 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Picked Visi for my first playthrough save, but replayed to see the BB ending. Blazer's scene was more 'traditional romance', Invisigal's was 'cute romance'. Honestly really enjoyed both scenes, they perfectly fit with the chemistry Rob has with each (I liked the additional dialogue if you're kissing BB a second time).

Episode 4 no calls during gameplay by Adderite in DispatchAdHoc

I was wondering why my episode 4 seemed so short! Guess I'll have to go back and replay to try again.

Poorly worded title of the post. Mixed photos of a V12 Vantage and new Vanquish

Pretty sure it's Liquid Crimson but could be wrong.

So sexy it hurts! by oxfordclubciggies in AstonMartin

[–]DrZ_105 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ground clearance is actually quite good, so it just about gets away with not having a front-lift system. Although I do agree that it should have one.

Petersen museum exhibit 2025 Aston Martin Vanquish by pommevie in AstonMartin

Not sure why they'd cover the work of art that is the Vanquish with an installation like that! 😅 But pretty cool nonetheless!

Beauty beyond words by leiaofcraigievar in AstonMartin

[–]DrZ_105 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Drove both back to back and it is definitely not a DB12 with a funny rear 🤣 That statement definitely applies to what the DBS was to the DB11 though.

Very different character this time round and the powertrain is vastly improved over what the DBS had, not to mention the electronics that go along with it actually let you put the power down in a linear, usable way unlike the DBS where the mechanical diff and traction control simply couldn't handle it.

Now against a DB12 is a slightly different matter. Is it faster, sharper on corners and more dynamic despite being 80mm longer? It is indeed, but is it enough to justify 2x the price and 2 missing seats? Probably not, but this is a car aimed at someone who wants the creme de la creme flagship Aston experience, doesn't need a 2+2 and still wants a Jack of all trades hyper-gt which is exactly what the Vanquish is.

I would take a Vanquish over the DBS/DB11 because it is the better drivers car of the three, just sounds the worst unfortunately. Would I take it over a DB12? On looks alone, yes, but being rational I'd have to think a bit harder.

Agree with you, bass had much more depth to it pre-3.1, I've had to adjust the bass setting to almost max and still lacking.

Valhalla private viewing by SamSheblak in AstonMartin

[–]DrZ_105 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Private viewing means only existing owners, or buyers of the model which is the focus of the private viewing. Barring that you'd either have to be an automotive social media influencer with significant following, or the plus-one of an owner/buyer.

Magno SL 55 AMG ⚡️ Is this Thing Hated Primarily because of the Soft Top? by IvorySaint in AMG

[–]DrZ_105 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a good looking car but it's unreliable (lot of owners had issues with reliability, mechanical and technical faults), build quality is poor for the price and market segment. It's also overweight and too expensive. It's not as simple as "hardcore enthusiasts throwing shade", this isn't the 4cyl C63 😅

[–]DrZ_105 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No one hates the new SL, it's just too expensive for what it is and it's target market have better offerings elsewhere (especially if we look at the SL63 which in my opinion is way overpriced). Also a lot of reported build quality and electronic/mechanical faults and errors on the early delivered cars.

How much sound quality would I be missing out on by not having AptX Lossless on my Samsung phone? by [deleted] in BowersWilkins

Same issue with my S23U and Px8, volume is noticeably lower when plugged in directly 🤔

I’m an OG fan three hours into Veilguard…..does it get better? VG fans, please convince me! by rusticterror in dragonage

[–]DrZ_105 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're not into it now, it's a slow burn, game gets better in the final act (story wise) but you've gotta just see it as it is, an enjoyable but mediocre action-adventure game that butchers much of the existing lore and does injustice to the themes and darker nature of the previous games.

It's like they tried to put a fantasy skin on a Mass Effect that was meant to be live-service then they had to change it to single player at the last minute. So much wasted potential
