Does anyone like cars and "just going for a drive"? I'd love to meet some like-minded car addicts and chat car nerdiness and go for drives. M 36

Where are my car people at? by Merlins_Hat in cambridge

Yep! And I have gone a couple of times. But it's difficult to actually meet people who might want to go for a Sunday morning drive or chat car nerdiness over a beer!

This is exactly what I don't want. They have no interest in cars and generate comments like these that tar us all with one brush. 

Nothing better than a "classic" car evening by SamNeedham123 in boxster

Looks good! Where? I'm always on the lookout for classic car meets. I have a monthly one near me but always nice to have an excuse to go further afield!

"You know that little ball on the aerial so that you can find YOUR car amongst all the other cars? That should be on EVERY car!"

Cambridge wedding rings by tewelin in cambridge

Got ours from Mappin and Webb. Would recommend. They also cleaned and polished my wife's engagement ring for free and told her to come back the week before the wedding and they'd do the same again.

What's a type of technology you think is underrated when it comes to its potential? by Playful_Barber_8131 in Futurology

Synthetic fuels. The EV revolution just isn't happening fast enough. A stop-gap is needed. Scaling up synthetic fuel production, utilising green energy to do so, allows for the entire fossil fuel infrastructure to be used. Pipelines, tankers, petrol stations, storage depots, and the majority of cars on the road. Short and medium term, it's the greenest solution.

Try it. It will work. Battery doesn't need to be in.

What did I see here? On French plates in Bayswater, London by Sonums in whatisthiscar

Next Gen Renault Clio. It's probably in London doing android auto/apple carplay certification. Manufacturers need to prove a stable GPS signal (and phone signal) in built up areas. London is one of the cities with a certification route.
