2018 Nissan Pathfinder SL V6.

 

Surprisingly nice actually!  Really struggling to criticise it beyond "because it's an SUV" and wishing I could set it so the damn horn didn't sound every time you lock the thing... it's downright embarrassing when you get back to the resort late.

Close all the doors, hold the lock and unlock buttons on the fob down together until the indicators flash a few times.

 

That should shut it up. Repeat to re-enable.

Thanks for that! Will try that in the morning.

 

Really is my only gripe with it aside from the sheer size of the thing...but we specifically wanted a 7-seater and they couldn't guarantee that in any other form factor. It's a comfy old bus anyhow.

You'll only get 7 seats in "big SUV" or van here these days.

Was that alright? It took several attempts just to get that one! Something to do with lack of focus.....

 

yeah you get a much better idea of what lights up without the flash lighting it up

much brightness^^^

Standard comedy Citroen CX warning lamps. Generally a minimum of 2 illuminated at any given time.

 

If there are none lit, the filaments have failed.

All of mine clearly work. All, that is, except the "A" on the auto shift indicator..... Maybe that's an omen.

Thanks for the tip... I'm no longer waking everyone up by locking the thing now!

 

Also National couldn't guarantee a 7-seater minivan...Large SUV was the only thing they'd guarantee we'd have 7-seats in - which we've needed all of for the last couple of days! It's coped admirably with carting 7 adults around... I'm well impressed...much as I might have wanted to hate it!

Not exactly night time as such: 5.20pm last Tuesday when I last used my car. Photo taken after I put it into the garage. I'll hit 98k once I drive off the estate tomorrow.

 

The car engine barely gets warm from my pad to my workplace and vice versa. Not good for a diesel is it?!

Nope. Not ideal for a petrol either. Buy an electric car! Or cycle.

I've done with cycling.

 

Electric car would be nice if I could afford one but impractical. I couldn't charge it up at home as I live in an upper floor flat.

Go on, have a guess. Zero pounds prize for the winner.3dd54bb3cc50cd7cbe78e24f9df7dbef.jpg

Electric bicycle! I'm getting one in the next couple of weeks, should transform my commute.

It means it can do 0 to 60 in 7 milliseconds. Very fast!

Have you told the Government about this problem? They think we all should have electric cars in 20 years time.

I was late to work because:

The circuit breaker tripped at 1am

The extension cord caught fire

Landlady pulled the plug out to vacuum the hallway

I ran out of 50p's for the meter and nowhere was open to make change from a ten

Battery decided it was full but only had 2.3 miles until it went dead and stopped, refusing to move an inch in 4 lanes of traffic (but still had enough power to run the hazard lights for 8 hours)

Good idea. I ought to reel off an email to my MP about it. Makes a change from writing to them about the high cost of housing.

Here's my latest contribution.

1973 AC Model 70.

 

Given how crude the setup is I'm surprised how effectively the speedometer is lit to be honest. It's far from even, but is perfectly legible.

Boooooooost! or manifold pressure.

 

When running off boost it'll have intake vacuum so read below zero, on boost is positive numbers.

Charade G102. Everything you need, nothing you don't. The dials are very small though and the minor gridlines are distracting. A healthy 1.3 that spins to 7000 rpm. Phwoar.

The Acclaim now features an illuminated radio. Such luxury.

That's an interesting colour used in the Acclaim. Almost cyan rather than green. Looks nice.

 

Here's my latest addition - camera has made it look brighter than it is (likewise the ambient light).

I'll try to get a better one when it's fully dark some evening.

It's got everything you need!

 

Can't see it ever showing far north of 70mph even downhill with a good tail wind!

Some more terrible night dash shots, apologies it's a "modern" Honda Jazz.
