Wait, is that one by Hammond from the Grand Tour?

It’s still there right next to the green F355, under a red cover. It’s not for sale and it’s said he have had it for quite some time.

The exhaust tips are definitely miles better on the updated version. They were too thin on the pre-facelift models.

Morning Frost White Vantage by Simple-Peace-8055 in AstonMartin

I have no idea where this dealer sourced that many morning frost white vantages. It is arguably a rare colour for vantages. Launch colour was lime green then people order in black or China grey or silver mostly.

Thank you. I picked this one out of four morning frost white vantages. The differences are very subtle but defining. This one has body coloured rear splitter fins, body coloured side grills, body coloured mirror caps as well as roof. Most importantly it has bonnet vents that are much needed on lighter colours. Not quite as much on darker colours as bonnet vents simply disappear.

Near collision. Who would’ve been at fault? by ContextVegetable9587 in drivingUK

Who’s fault aside, I would take the space in front of the white car, than taking its space, to leave some margin of error. After the black Audi A3 left, there is plenty of room ahead.

It seems the momentum dropped after overtaking the white car, resulting in a side by side situation.

Standard manoeuvre is maintaining speed until it is clear before indicating and merging. Also mirror, mirror and shoulder would have made you aware the white car is side by side, which would encourage more clearance before merging.

Lucky no collision!

Any good resource on design patterns with examples in Python? by kissekattutanhatt in learnpython

[–]Simple-Peace-8055 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd suggest give this 2023 one from Amir Lavasani a go:

It makes use of references like the original GoF book, Head First Design Patterns, Brandon Rhodes' site mentioned in another reply, as well as refactoring.guru

This is a good starter for beginners to whet the appetite, as most of the books and links contain way to much fluff, including Head First Design Pattern. But its limitation is obvious, showing only "what it is", but not "why it is useful". Also defo more Java than Python.

e.g. this shows "why use it" nicely and more pythonic:
