Wankers.
Tell me about it. My missus is a vegan. With her it's almond milk.
Yesterday, she tried to tell me that I can use the water from a tin of chickpeas in cooking the same as eggs. I asked if you can fry chickpea water, and put it on a bacon roll!

I scored very low on the autie test. I’m cheerful, happy, confident, like meeting new people, chatty and largely sociable. What the fuck am I doing on this forum?

I’m not particularly a fan of electric cars, but of a con in my opinion.
However, hitting the quiet (loud) pedal on an E-Tron GT RS is a visceral experience. Rolling along at 50 bracing yourself for the acceleration forces, hit the pedal and your head will snap back and hit the headrest.
One trick pony? Definitely. But what a trick 😂

I bet a V8 with a 150hp shot of nitrous would do the same and make a better noise though!

Oh without a doubt. The E-Tron GT RS has the speed but none of the theatre. R8, RS6 and 7, RS4 all roar and give a proper mechanical experience.
