Hi, I'm a car fan and had few Jag long time ago. XKR 2007 and XJ40 3.6l from the 90s.

I currently own an Aston Martin V8 Vantage from 2011 that I love but that, as a daily driver, is not the best. I do mainly long drives (200km +) and considering replacing my Vantage by an F-Type V8 R from 2018.

Before to decide, I would like to know what are your comments on this switch ? Are there any specific maintenance I need to plan in advance because of it's 75kkm mileage ?

Few comments from me fist :

- Why a V8 and not a V6s : I'm not a sport driver, i love to cruise and for me the sound is quite important. I love my Vantage for its raw sound, it's bestial and each time I give some rev, i've a big smile.

- Why to change : The Vantage doesn't have the ZF8 and in place, has an old Sportshift manual robotic gearbox with paddleshift. It's fun and works well but in traffic jam and cities, it's really not that good. In addition, maintenance is super expensive as soon as you have something to change. It's an old car tech, and spare parts are just super dupper expensive, same goes for the man hour price. In addition, as I drive all year around, I had some bad adventure last winter when the road was covered with snow and ice. It cost me few 1000€ to fix some stuff I broke after having slide on a round about.

- Why an F-Type : I'm looking for a 2 seats car, just for pleasure. But it's also my daily driver so I want a better suitable car for drive everyday. If I have something to do in cities, i want to be able to do it without hesitating because of the gearbox and the "precious" aspect of the Aston Martin

- The model I'm currently hesitating on is an 2018 F-Type R V8 550ch, AWD, with 75000km. It's a white model with black interior, panoramic sun roof, Méridian sound system.

Thanks a lot

Hi
Not sure the title is sufficiently clear....
OK here is my setup :
- Macbook Pro M1 Max 64gb unified memory and 32gpu
- Ollama with local llm lmx model : qwen3.6:35b-a3b-coding-nfp4
- UTM native apple silicon macos 15 VM with openclaw installed.

Openclaw works correctly and communicate perfectly with ollama on the host.

However, each time I give a new instruction to OC, it reinjectes all the context in the llm. It means that the time for the llm to execute new instructions is becoming extremely long each time.

How to configure OC for it to do not send back to the model all the context each time I'm giving a new instruction?

Thanks for the help.

Hi. I've a m1 max 32gpu with 32gb of memory and 1tb of storage.
I'm slowly but surely start to enjoy playing with openclaw but I struggle to find the right balance between small llm like gemma4:e4b and more substantial like qwen3.6:27b.
The first one works fast but it stay a light llm, the second takes ages to answer, probably due to the swap on ssd and obviously the lack of free memory.
My setup is:
- Ollama on the host in native with mlx support
- Openclaw in a native apple silicon UTM VM

I'm thinking about upgrading my hardware but my budget is very limited. So the max memory I could buy is a 64gb mac studio m4 max.
I wonder if this will be a game changer for me or so so...

What do you think?

Thanks
