    I defer to the much smarter folks on this site, but my layman's assumption would be if it comes down in the dark it'll look like a shooting star The altitude seems to be falling pretty quickly at the moment, although presumably th

    Volvo came up with a way of spooling the turbo by injecting compressed air into the exhaust manifold https://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-news/tech/volvos-turbo-lag...

    And because of the way Android updates are controlled by the carrier, who knows how many weeks/months it'll be until a phone will actually get the patch

    I believe we ended up booking a 3008; although somehow the hire companies get away with cheekily putting '*or similar vehicle', so who knows
