Re: t ful
Heard Westerns and Deltics - Deltics are definately the better sounding.
TBH on type 4s the 16CSVT takes some beating

The emmisions regulations are hurting in the whole of Europe now with Diesel locomotives as decent high efficiency engines do not leave much room for exhaust cleaning kit.
Anyway what is wrong with a bit of clag?
Seen a 37 (Bony-Y-Bermo ? ) kick out a huge smoke cloud on the SVR many years ago.
I also like both of English Electrics big express designs.
To be honest show running he has been up to this series been a better show runner than RTD. But show running has dropped his script quality. Pre Clara the story arcs were better.
Before you knock him remember the little elf doctor. The episode we have all forgotten with Peter Kay. The farting aliens, all the average episodes were forget.
Also remember the excellent episodes from the early reboot such as "Are you my mummy?", The Girl in the Fireplace, and of course his best ever work, Blink.
To be honest a rest is best so we can have really good stories again, and a joint show runner to point him in the correct direction.
That said the special with John Hurt was rather good, and some proper out of sequence time stuff!
Last two cars were built without cruise but added trivially. One was stalk and software, the other was a few switches.
Cruise should be free or at most £50.
Maintaining speeds.
I used to own a tuned old hatch with some rally components, very little weight and a three figure power output. The biggest engine version would hassle contemporary super cars.
On the motorway I would keep to around 80, now hills were fun, I could keep my speed up the steepest going past the repmobiles, but they were so eager to pass me back on the down hills, simply due to car age. (Did not happen with newer cars) This would happen again and again. Actually it was a great car to identify knobs, and it even raised smiles from traffic police.
Actually if you are trying to hypermile an auto you will be doing this a lot, chasing lock up top.
Most autos I have driven lock up around 50, so if you are following a car and they are desparately trying to drive at 50 rather than 45 - they are trying to hypermile a traditional auto.
It can make quite a bit of difference in economy.
