I don't get that. Mustang sold 3500 in 6 mths BRZ86 sold 6000 in 6 years Does that not equal the Mustang selling 7k per year and the BRZ86 1k per year? Or am I looking at totally the wrong figures here?! Sorry, I should have explained better. That's 7000 in 5 years against, 7000 in one year, equivalent of 20% of the volume of the World's Best Selling Sports Coupe. That's working on the assumption the Mustang maintains that same volume over 5 years. If you compare the year ones for them both, then it's 2497 v 7000, which is 36% of the volume of the World's Best Selling Sports Coupe. My contention was, and is, that "aweful" is hyperbole. And I think it's borne out in the numbers, rather than the anecdotes.

It's more a case of rubbing the pad against the disc in the opposite direction to the one that it's most used to. Especially if you have dimpled or grooved discs, it can clean the pad quite effectively I'm told. second hand info, I won't deny it, I've never used the procedure effectively myself (never needed to, to date), probably cos I change cars more often than brake pads! Makes sense, ta

I'd agree if I thought it'll just be 10 years, but I think it's the long term path. Electoral boundaries are being redrawn which further helps the Tories. England is drifting ever more rightward and introspective. The gap between rich and poor continues to grow. We just adopted a two child policy in the U.K. - just like the bastion of human rights China. We're supposed to be living in terror, to give up our privacy. I'm old enough to remember that the current lunatics are a total organisational shambles to the huge attacks in Manchester, Warrington, London in the 80s and 90s. I don't remember all the terror hysteria back then. The fear of anything foreign or different has gone berserk. Let's be totally honest, a handful of Bankers crashed the economy 10 years ago, since then the only thing that's been achieved is that over 50% of the electorate have been convinced that it was really European migrants that did it Anyway, that's one for a different thread. Sorry for my digression.

I'm not suggesting that it's the best selling car ever, just the statement that it is "aweful sales wise" is simply incorrect compared to other two door jap coupes, which after all, is it market. You also chose its biggest market pull the same numbers from, becuase in the UK from what i can see in the 6 years its been on sale less than 6000 (gt86) have been registered and less than a 1000 BRZ in the same period. 7000 mass produced 'cheap' cars in 6 years is awful. The toybaru market is two door coupe it is up against the camero/mustang etc in america as they all share the same price bracket (all starting at around $25-26k)so its market share for cheap 2 door rwd coupes is dreadful. As you mention UK sales figures, for the Mustang they shifted 3500 in just over 6 months, do some quick maths to work out a year, based on 6 months. That's more or less the same. Yeah aweful. Except obviously the numbers. When compared against the best selling sports coupe in the world's UK sales.

So why would you vote for "independence" only to loose that independence by joining the Eu? The best reason would be to be independent of the Tory Westminster government and a part of the EU one, there's no downside to that deal.

This. it really is entirely moot. But it's not is it, because Scotland could join.

Can someone explain the reverse braking please? Isn't the brake bias the same whether you're going forward or backwards? Or is it the weight transfer you're after? Ta

Kill the headlight washers and never soak your bonnet again

I heard that too, but then I had a look. 2016 US Sales Figures 11,598 pa, average 966 pcm BRZ/FR-S 9,465 pa, average 789 pcm Miata 5,913 pa, average 493 pcm 370Z US sales figures from here

Basically you've totally misunderstood bantz. But just in case you genuinely didn't understand my comment, I meant drive off in the car as in a "hit and run" Keep going. See where it gets you.

When you find that special person out there who laughs at this stuff, make sure you don't let them go, there can't be more than one.

Until they run off and you have no evidence of who hit you. If they run off, then the car is still parked in the rear of yours

I just did the BRZ, didn't pressure wash though, just sprayed degreaser, agitated with a brush, then used the spray setting on the hose gun to rinse. I didn't bag anything off, just used my eyes and stayed well clear of the alternator, ECU, battery, fuse box. You don't need much to rinse away dirt if you've agitated first, certainly not lbs of pressure.

I've personally not gone for a rear "dash" cam, simply because if you get rear ended it's their fault. If you fancy a reverse camera for your headunit, so the rear image comes up on the screen, the ones which drop in to the number plate light recess are quite discreet and effective for backing up, especially at night.

Steering wheel is a horror show, rest isn't that bad though. If you don't mind stripes. Which I do not on Vipers.

Will chips drive you mad? If so, get a clear vinyl wrap on the bumper. If not, drive and enjoy. I had my front sprayed twice on my Zed, wish I'd wrapped it after the first one.

She's a keeper. Full day one on one is $$$$.

If you're gonna put fake exits on, why not do the side or a roof funnel? You know, really go for it

Enjoy!
