Porsche has finally made it with the Taycan. We now have a review from Supercar Blondie, stop the presses!!! :cool:

She's the first person I've heard mention the idea that petrol cars should have ports on both sides, that is not such a strange idea now that I think about it.

Complains some about front not being aggressive enough, but that is the optional sport design package to get the larger front vents.

My father had an old Jaguar with "ports" on both sides. I think it was because the car had two small gas tanks, though! LOL

At least should’ve tested a car with Sport Chrono for the Sport+ launch

I'm not sure what Blondie would have thought about an analog clock on the dash. :rolleyes:
Almost afraid to go there. :cool:

Yup, we had a couple of XJ6s and an XJ12 that had the famous Jaguar dual gas tanks. It wasn’t one tank with two filling ports - you literally had to fill two tanks separately and then use a switch on the dash to flip between them. All powered by the fabulously reliable Lucas electrical system...

Clark Fiester and crew, RIP. http://www.arlingtoncemetery.net/cgfiester.htm
Eight people died in the crash. The C-21A Learjet took off from Andrews AFB, Md., and was en route to Randolph when a fuel imbalance problem forced the aircrew to divert the flight to Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama. Accident investigators said a faulty electrical relay caused the C-21's right standby fuel pump to continue pumping fuel after the aircraft was started. The malfunction forced fuel into the left wing, but prevented fuel from being transferred into the right wing.
