Have to say reading that list, the navigation improvement and call spam filtering are about the only things I actually *need* the rest are just improvements to something that doesn't actually need improving for it to work for me.

Too much money means too much greed - agents should not be getting paid millions to transfer players, they are more overpaid than the players and thats saying something. A few years back when Gareth Barry I think it was moved to City, he contracted his best mate for 3 days to be his agent to orchestrate the move. To be a registered agent you only need complete a one day course! Its a farce the whole thing and money that should be spent on youth development/grass roots is being siphoned off by leeches like football agents.

Funny thing is if it had been an Apple product wouldn't it be massive front page news by now.

Remember the first time I had this, was sat outside RT Performance waiting for Taras and suddenly noticed it gushing out! I'm stood there thinking oh my god! Taras rocks up, looks at it and just goes, oh its air con, then just walks on by and starts opening up! It is quite shocking to see first time if you don't know what it is.

Aye fair enough I had the DE. But for a cost of circa £15 vs £60-£100 for two products that do the same thing. Once you have put oil and other consumables on top it does amount to a good saving vs time taken to change over. I think most people on here agree that they service at least once a year, so setting aside time to do the work anyway.

Ha! You are free to want what you like and spend your money where you like mate!

I love Apple, but not to the point I upgrade at each opportunity, I evaluate what I have, what I will get and decide if the price is worth it. I cannot identify what the step change is here that makes me want to give up a phone that currently doesn't have any failings in meeting what I need to do so why change it? In fact looking at my ownership of iPhones I had the first one, the 4 then the 6 I don't really see big steps in subsequent phone tech and happy to hang on to my phone for a fair few years. As it happens I also work with tech suppliers that make Apple look like cavemen in my job day to day, they are not the worlds leading tech developer, they are the worlds leading tech company at marketing and branding

Sure it only took me and my dad about 20 mins to do when we used to service the car, just remove a few items and you had reasonable access?

OK fair enough

Always worth remembering that iridium does not equal better than copper core - both perform equally well, coppers just do not last as long. If you are the sort of person who likes to service your own car a fair bit and have no problem switching plugs over every 12 months then coppers are fine and a fraction of the cost.

The phone jack was always the 'widest' part of the components in the phone which dictates how flat it can be - I suppose it had to go, and you can still use an adapter to plug your trusty 3.5mm in. But the cost, give me a break, its going a bit too far past being a premium product now. The camera is ok for taking snaps as I said, you can up the MPs all your like but good quality photos come from focal lengths (my old DSLR with 8mp took better quality photos than a camera phone with 16mp) and a phone will never be able to achieve that. In short, I think its becoming a bit farcial what they are charging - understand you have to cover your investment and sunk costs but these are being knocked out at a cost to Apple of probably £10 a go in China.

I had accelera's on our old family wagon an 04 plate ford focus 1.8. Utterly terrible tyres and almost caused a spin on a roundabout once whilst pootling around it, missed my turn off and had to do a full lap of the roundabout. My Celica had budget tyres on it when I bought it, Fullrun they were called, grip was erm, functional, road noise was average except when on full lock they made the most god awful squeeling sound it was almost embarrassing. So happy to have got shot of them.

Drove there from Richmond a couple of years back (FOS) met the zed chaps early around 6am and left a little early to avoid the traffic and was fine. It is quite 'grassy' from what I remember? Some concrete parts but also grassy areas - noise wise, FOS was pretty noisy, but you can wander about in the garages/pit areas back from the track.

West Ham fan here - club was literally days away from going pop and going bankrupt when the Icelandic revolution went shockingly wrong - signing Mascherano and Tevez illegally, pretty much leveraging the club against bank losses, Gold and Sullivan come in and start getting the place back on an even keel. It was a scary moment though that never really made the news, but we were days away from bankruptcy and all the demotions and points reductions/player sales that follow.

Google translate doesn't work too well - here's what it converts the first bit to! Valais police stops British Raser Almost twice as fast as allowed several handlebars were in Valais go. The police were able to stop three of them and imposed hefty buses.

Great stuff mate, been to a couple of Indian weddings also in the past and they are just utterly fantastic events - although neither had the groom on a horse!

Spend your money on a VR headset - its going to be a much better investment!

I love my Apple products, but I am way past upgrading for the sake of upgrading. I have a series 3 Apple TV device, an iPhone 6 and a 2009 Macbook Pro. All great products but they all still work, all still well up to spec in terms of what I need, unless there is some serious step change in the phone why change? The camera is such a non-event, as it is on most phones, I would never take a serious photo with a phone, only for snapping stuff here and there.

Sold mine a few years back when I installed a stillen front splitter, got £50 for it.

Sorry pal - I think in many cases so many stories of dealers basically trying to wriggle out of their responsibilities as a car trader by acting in a way to undermine the buyer. Stick to your guns, don't get abusive with them, know your rights and get what you should get from it.

Seems like they have fairly mixed reviews online and your comments are not uncommon http://www.cardealerreviews.co.uk/dealership/essex-prestige-harlow-essex-england so would hate to say it sounds like you got a bit of a challenge on your hands dealing with them from a professional stand point. Follow Dans (Ekona's) advice and start getting things written down and create a paper trail.

Yes agreed, would have been nice to have seen whatever it was they were trying to build actually compared side by side on the same day with what they are trying to beat. Was ridiculous really to start comparing their track times in their 350z to times posted by random people off the internet! My suspicion is that they did the side by side test and the 370z still beat it so they didnt want to show it

Their 'comparison' was one of the journo's driving the car around the track and comparing the time against a trained driver driving a 370z around the same track on a different day. The 370z was something like 7 seconds quicker on the track which laps around 1min 30secs. Not sure how that really is a comparison and can draw a conclusion from!

I actually don't mind it - Its a good 1 hour read and nice to read something that is tangible (i.e. physical) and not something prin Yes they started off saying that it would cost so much more once they upgraded the brakes/suspension etc to deal with any FI (dubious claim but hey)

Wife kindly pays whatever it is £30 a year for a subscription - its part of my 'mag-moment' where I get a break from the house and go to relax and read some stuff about jap cars and have a beer or something
