Do you guys think we in Trinidad are capable of building modern cars especially electric ones that can compete in quality with those sourced from the UK or Japan Ok sure that would be great but the question is how?

From everything I heard it’s all good looks and comfort without anything reliable under the hood

Can you elaborate? Mods, can this thread be merged with the New Vehicle Thread? Well for starters, I export these MG’s (among other cars) from the UK to T and T and have had various demonstrator models as my daily drivers over the last few months.

I will not really explain too much because I don't have time but I have done quite a lot of biomedical research on evolution. Long story short, we reached our anatomically modern form in Africa and moved out. We developed there from archaic apes that no longer exist but who are also the direct ances...

why do cars not use super nowadays? everything used super about 15 years back.. even 2.5L V6 cifero and sr20 primera used to use super.. and much smaller, less powerful engines nowadays can't use it? why?

Above 2k and its 1.5x. Buy a range rove...
