  1. Okay, that makes more sense now. And that is a bloody good idea tbh, however you still have to pay all the associated costs cos you’ve still bought from the EU. Assuming you get rumbled at the port of course…
  2. I’d love to know what it is you want to buy, cos a quick browse of their website looks like they stock 95% generic branded stuff you must be able to get from a uk supplier.
  3. I’ll believe it when I see it. With Ferrari using a v6 for their hypercar why would they be remotely interested in supporting a move to v10 or even v8? They have more clout than anyone in the sport, and they know it.
  4. It’s not true, who on earth told you it was?! 🤣🤣
  5. Newer car sells more than older car. Shocker.

    CARPLAY

    Remove stock head unit, add in double din unit with CarPlay of your choice. Easy.
  7. EV sales from all big manufacturers have plummeted cos folks are now buying cheap Chinese crap instead. No great surprises there: an EV is a white good, and we all love our cheap white goods in the kitchen so why not in the garage too?
  8. Not even close, get the S2K. As long as you fit, it’s a much better car to drive.
  9. My local garage charges £60p/h (large town in Suffolk), not sure where you are in the world but that seems pricey for labour charges.
  10. Must admit, doesn’t sound that unusual to me. The SMF I had fitted to mine was extremely noisy at idle, anything after that was drowned out by my exhaust 🤣
  11. How much do you need/want for it? Do you want a quick sale? Seems a solid enough car, but getting close to the dreaded 100k mark which seems to terrify buyers for some unknown reason.
  12. Far from it, the vast majority is live action and there’s a good mix between TV and movies. Of course the kiddy stuff is there (a godsend if you have children like me!), and some of the self produced Marvel and Star Wars stuff is hit and miss, but for the most part it’s quality output. Certainly gets watched more in this house than Prime does by about 10:1. Netflix remains the go-to though.
  13. Most importantly, the UX on Prime Video is utterly appalling compared to Netflix. Disney + is better than Prime by a mile too, and even that has issues.
  14. Buy a small pack of multiple size nuts and bolts from screwfix, b&q etc and leave the rest in the garage. That way not only will you have the right size, you’ll have spares for next time too 👍 Or take it off and take it to either of the places above and size it that way.
  15. I’d suggest it’s a popularist overreaction. Are there that many accidents/deaths on the road in faster cars compared with regular ones? My gut says no, so they’re targeting the wrong group of people. Silly idea with limited benefit imho.
  16. Get the guy fitting to supply, that way if there’s any issues it’s his problem, not yours.
  17. I think that sounds like an utter bargain, personally.
  18. It’s the new car vs old car argument there, and all of those mentioned will be at least double the amount to maintain. The fact that people are wanting the even uglier M2 at the same price is the real killer for me. I get cars are more expensive than they used to be, but a Nissan cannot go head to head with a premium manufacturer unless it’s oodles better or much cheaper.

    2023 Tyre Reviews

    I’ll take your word for it, cos I can’t see the markings on the tyre and he said MPS5.
  20. School holidays aren’t for another few weeks, try again then. If serious, then basically whatever car you can afford to insure will determine what you can buy.

    Really? I’ve had them fitted to my cars for well over a year now, they’re lovely things. Looking so far like they’ll wear as well as the MPS4 too.
  22. R8 vs GTR wouldn’t even be a question, in my mind. Unless you need the back seats, it’s not even close. However, we’ve now gone a budget class or two above a 987.2/981 🤣
