Exactly stuff like that, yeah. It's utterly moronic.

Once again, point missed. I do wonder if you're doing it on purpose now. Pay what you like for a car, that's not a problem. The problem is paying EXTRA for a feature you can never really use, unless you like waiting for an entire hour hour to use it. That's what maketh the idiot.

The point isn't the 0-60 time. The point is offering something for a headline figure that, in reality, is just impossible to use. It's something that they should rightly be called out on. If you pay extra for that feature, you're a complete idiot.

So 50 mins for proper launch control then. Well that's great engineering It's like when Top Gear tested the 0-60 of the M6, and timed it at about 5 mins after you faff through all the controls! And that was just following up from a TG video I watched yesterday, and then general research from owners in the US (who definitely don't live in zero degrees!) and they all said that it was that long.

We're not doing next year now, not with all the guff that's going on in LMP1 right now. It'll still be a great week, but I was always going to have a year off at some point to do other stuff (was supposed to be this year!) so I reckon next year seems to be the perfect time now.

In theory, yes. However, GTR owners aren't quite as retarded as Porsche owners in regards to sh*t like this, I don't think.

Can't believe I'm actually going to say this, but... that needs a carbon bonnet to work IMHO. Personally I think that's far too much on that car, might be okay with regular silver wheels (or anthracite) but that example looks like a Matchbox special. And not in a good way.

Utterly ridiculous, from all sides. Ironically only one of those pics actually shows the dash in question (the 997.1 at the bottom), all the others are black.

Red car with gold wheels is going to be dangerously close to looking like a Noddy or Ronald McDonald car, be careful! Red's a nice colour though

Without his address on, it would've been fine.

So, P90D. Ludicrous mode. Launch mode. Takes 45 mins to pre-heat the battery before you can actually engage it. Same with the X?

Dude, you've openly said that he's a 'friendly' tester who knows how to go about getting a decat car to pass, when it clearly cannot ever pass regardless of emission outputs. Don't get me wrong, we all know a guy and it's very handy and I don't give a hoot if a car passes emissions or not, but neither would I do someone who's risking their livelihood a disservice by openly telling the world who they are! If you cannot see why that might possibly not be a good thing to share, then you're beyond help. Just remove the picture, or at least redact it ffs.

I bet he's really chuffed you've advertised the fact he gives out dodgy MOTs to the entire Internet, risking his tester's licence.

Maybe they sit in the same office?

You don't have that long left in life to have that question answered by that man.

Oh mate, I'm so sorry to hear that I'm sure he knew how much you loved him though, and it sounds like you did the right thing by making the hardest choice.

Doesn't it just? In fact, I might be tempted to pull it on that basis. Except if it is a plug post it's not a very good one, as they don't understand how important protection is and their website has the lorem ipsum stuff at the bottom still Also, appalling use of apostrophes.

Oh man, you should've just taken it back and made it their problem to sort. Name and shame at least! But no, it's not a huge job by any means. Just find a decent garage to do it, and I don't mean just Nissan main dealers unless you supply your own lube. Any competent place will be able to sort this for you.

Or 24 hour PCars/Forza races. On your own.

Time to get drunk!

Depends on wax (or sealant for @SuperStu ), but typically it will provide protection anywhere between 3-6 mths, much longer if you use a coating (like 2-5 years). It'll turn a 3 hour wash into a 30 minute one.

That's fine. Usually anything below 120c is okay when dealing with oil temps, although I don't know the exact temp that a 370 goes into limp mode at. I guess it's quite easily from the many "get an oil cooler!" posts we see on here regularly!

You must do an awful lot of miles to need 3-4 hours of cleaning every fortnight! Ah, hang on, no wax. That explains it. Why go to all the effort and then not bother with another 20 mins putting wax on to protect it?! Seems utterly daft to me.

Well, that's my day sorted.

You're buying a piece of adhesive. That's all. You have to source your own physical numberplate, so you could buy a flexible one (as shown on their website), or you use your regular one that's on your car now. Obviously a flexible one will contour as shown, a solid one will not. Basically the way to do it would be to either buy another physical plate with whatever you wanted on it then stick that over your existing one, or buy a flexible one and stick that wherever you want to remove at show time.
