Front looks great, as well as the side profile up to the 3rd pillar but the back looks umm, kinda done in a hurry....looks more like a cheap Nissan or something, the qashqai? 3 Likes |

EgunMogaji: [quote author=geunik post=52304565][/quote] Yep, that's one fine machine there...OP, I think you should have posted a pic of the normal Twizy, instead Twizy F1, which I can assure you is one big bad wolf in sheep's clothing. |

Car Talk / Re: 7 Reasons Nigerians Will Buy This N160m 2017 Bentley Bentayga SUV. by billy187(m): 1:12am On Jan 09, 2017 |
It's not the fastest or most powerful SUV for sale today...that honour goes to the 50 million naira Tesla model X P100D: which makes 760hp and can do 0-60 in 2.5 secs - a race between the two would end up with an embarrassment to the Bentley. 1 Like

Car Talk / Re: I Got Smoked By Honda Accord 2010 by billy187(m): 8:55pm On Jan 07, 2017 |
oweniwe: On the contrary, the 2004 Ford Focus (pretty much same body style) offered adult occupants full 5 star rated protection, according to Euro NCAP. For perspective, the Toyota corolla, Honda Civic, VW Golf, Nissan Pathfinder, Mercedes C class, Honda Accord and BMW X5 of the time were all awarded 4 stars, while the Nissan Almera and Hyundai Accent managed only 1.5 stars. Now armed with this info...imagine how any of these cars would have fared at such speed...the less said for occupants, the better |
Car Talk / Re: What Do You Love/Enjoy About Driving? by billy187(m): 1:49pm On Jan 03, 2017 |
Well, funny thing- I can't really put a finger on it. But then I prefer getting around by driving my jalopy much more to being driven around in an S Class. Perhaps it's the content I feel from having absolute control over a metallic one tonne monster that feeds on dead dinosaurs and is propelled by little explosions. 17 Likes |

MsDelilah: I think the emphasis here should be the 'Vibe' not the 'Pontiac' If OP would have been at the wheel of one of these babies, that Honda couldn't have stood a chance in hell- heck, most German marques shy of an AMG, RS or M badge might get schooled!

Car Talk / Re: 15 Tips To Prolong The Life-span Of Your Vehicle. by billy187(m): 8:56pm On Jan 01, 2017 |
SirJeffry: Strange, I thought the last model year for the Avalanche was 2013. With the free help you can get off the internet, I also find getting my own hands down and dirty to fix faults on my car extremely rewarding as well as a quite fun alternative to visiting a mechanic. |
Car Talk / Re: How Does Your Car React When You Disconnect The Battery? by billy187(m): 8:31am On Dec 23, 2016 |
My Ford Focus runs roughly for the first few minutes as the ECU is probably figuring itself out. |
Car Talk / Re: 2009 Toyota Camry Vs 2009 Toyota Corolla For Uber by billy187(m): 7:47am On Dec 14, 2016 |
For an Uber cab I'd go for the Corolla as it's a bit more fuel efficient than the Camry. Less trips to the fuel station means more of that sweet, sweet cash money to spend on stuff like your girlfriend's/wife's/random ladies Brazilian hair or MMM |

Phones / Re: 5 Very Important Things To Note Before Buying Any Phone by billy187(m): 5:42pm On Nov 13, 2016 |
prettyboi1989: I think the battery capacity of a phone is merely one of the factors that go into its actual battery life - how the phone manages it's power is another factor. My Motorola G3 with a 2470mah battery makes pretty high 'screen on' numbers, and that's with both networks at full throttle, data and location always on ( I don't like getting lost ). It runs a pretty stock os, so without any heavy UI getting in the way, there's not so much battery drain. |

A car that's almost 10 years old, economical on fuel and reliable with parts almost everywhere? Sounds like a classic candidate for a taxi to me. It's about time. |
Car Talk / Re: I Almost "Stole" A Car by billy187(m): 5:22pm On Oct 09, 2016 |
.....And I've always been wondering why it's so easy to steal a Honda You know, I drive the same car as a lady colleague (a generic gold- brown 2003 Ford Focus wagon). The only differences are the wheels- and of course, the license plates.I've got a good view of the parking lot so I usually park right next to her, just to watch her figure out which car is hers. It's something my evil, evil mind never gets tired of amusing itself with. Yeah, I probably need fasting and prayers. 2 Likes |
Car Talk / Re: What's The Most Common Car In Your Area by billy187(m): 6:59pm On Sep 27, 2016 |
I'm in Ghana and it's seems the 2003-2008ish corollas are EVERYWHERE. The previous model is mildly common though they are slowly succumbing to old age. The mk3 Opel Astra is also a popular car here, especially among taxi drivers.

Car Talk / Re: Installing Speed Limiters In Vehicles Does Not Make Common Sense by billy187(m): 8:29am On Sep 01, 2016 |
MPVGoddess: Subaru makes some of the fastest 4 cylinder cars available. It's kinda frightening to think what would have happened with a speed limiter- those poor fellows would have been merged into the truck's radiator! There's a reason pretty much every other country thinks it's a dumb idea to put speed limiters on passenger cars |
