NEVER BUY A CAR FROM SOMEONE WHO WRITES AN ENTIRE ADVERT IN CAPS IF THEY CAN’T EVEN USE A KEYBOARD CORRECTLY WHAT HOPE FOR LOOKING AFTER THE CAR

Toyo proxes? No. Just no. Unless it’s the R888R for track, the Toyo range is garbage right now sadly. For now, match the rears until you can afford to change all four. And then go MPS4.

Yup, it’s such a normal road isn’t it?

Good question, I've no idea. I've seen them around 400bhp with no issues, but I suspect much higher and you might be having issues. I guess there's a reason they're not the tuning bargain that the others are.

Daft question, why run two alarms? Sounds to me like you just need to re-sync the key rather than deactivate anything, especially if it was working fine before.

About £5k

Have you checked for the removal of the transport stops in the springs yet? Other than that, agreed check the alignment. However, a 370 is always going to feel different from a Merc (which one?!), so don’t worry too much about them riding the road differently.

Spoke to the farmer who was first on the scene yesterday, and he said that Andrew was already dead by the time he got there (30 secs max after hearing the bang). Sounds very much like he died on impact, which is about as much as anyone can ask for in these situations I think. Still no news on when we’ll get him back for the funeral. Hopefully soon so we can start moving on.

For the driver’s head so no one can see them driving such a thing

Even runflat owners don’t like runflats Don’t go there. Conti3s are okay, bit old hat now but if they’re super cheap and you’re not expecting wonders from them, they’re ok.

I had mine respayed, and it was a perfect colour match to what was there before. By which I mean it didn’t match the surrounding bodywork at all Don't worry about it, it’ll never match ever.

Does it come with a brown paper bag? Enjoy the new car dude

Cripes, that's a dull video. It's like they asked a YT newbie to knock something up, not impressed at all. It even manages to make the glorious V8 sound a bit boomy and uninteresting. And those wheels are ghastly. Black loses all the detail on the spokes.

@StevoD particularly likes the door handles on the 488

"Cheaper" being relative of course!

Exactly. All about the blaggability, just need to show a bit of willing. Although in fairness I only drove the F12 because I got invited to a day out courtesy of the dealer, it was the 458 and FF I was actually looking at at the time. Much easier to blag a drive in the cheaper stuff...

If you've never driven an F12, you really must. I wasn't even close to being prepared for just how much noise Ferrari let come into the cockpit, it's utterly mesmerising. Although the uber-quick steering nearly caught me out at the first roundabout

Nope, just a couple of cottages and about three or four farms, but they're all set back or really well sighted. Ultimately unless the autopsy shows heart attack it really has to be driver error. I hate him for being that careless, but at the same time I'd have driven it the exact same way I assume he did. The more I look at that logo on that guide, the angrier I get. When I've calmed down and can compose something reasonable I think I will. I just don't get who thought that was a good idea to do!

Found a picture, it’s the middle green one. Okay, so not as big a logo as I remembered, but I still say it’s bad taste.

Thanks guys. You lot are genuinely amazing people. I drove the road today. It’s like every other NSL country road anywhere, and there wasn’t a single extra mark anywhere to see where the accident happened. There’s nothing special about any of it: no super tight corners, no blind crests, no hidden junctions. Nothing. I’d drive that at 60 or more every day of the week and not bat an eyelid. It just makes everything seem so much more random. I don’t get it, I just don’t. The Police gave Rob a guidebook on how to deal with death after a car accident, from both practical (funeral arrangements, coroner courts etc) and mental (how to cope with loss etc) views. Helpful yes, but the front cover is boldly emblazoned with the BRAKE logo as I guess they sponsor it. Now maybe it’s just me, but I find that to be the single most distasteful thing I’ve ever seen in my life. By all means pop a logo inside somewhere, but on the front cover taking up 1/3rd of it?! Utterly repulsive. Even Rob, who is hiding her obvious pain with black humour, just said to the police officer who gave it to her “Are you f***ing kidding me? I really don’t need to told to brake right now!” whilst almost laughing at the insensitivity of it. I rarely complain about things, but this might just give me cause to do so. Or am I overreacting?

235i over a Golf any day. It may not be any quicker, and it may ultimately be just as generic, but I bet it feels a damn more special every time you rev the six over a four.

Cheers G. I'm going to pick Jo up tomorrow from Rob's, and I've decided to make a detour to see the road where it happened. I know it sounds odd, but I just have to see the place for myself. Not to lay flowers or anything, and I may not even stop, but I just have the urge to go there. I won't be telling anyone else I've been there though, as I'm not sure they need to know really. Is that too weird? I mean, I'm going anyway, just wondering.

That would seem to be very light. I’m guessing the accident meant that sympathy was found. Hard to watch though, given events of the last day for me personally. There but for the grace of god etc.

Gets worse, now looks like they didn’t even have mortgage life cover for whatever reason, we’re hoping it’s a mistake but it’s now getting to the point where you couldn’t make this stuff up. Had a bit of a moment at work earlier, back to feeling numb again. Rob has spoken to the police and the coroner, sounds like a combination of him going too fast in an NSL and clipping a bump in the road. Took off, clipped a tree, then rolled the car several times. So hopefully it was quick. Sorry to keep posting morbid stuff here, but for obvious reasons I’m keeping it off social media and I’ve nowhere else I feel comfortable offloading.
