Just sent one back too.

We're currently babysitting this monster: Ten week old kitten called Bruce, seen here in full-on puffy mode after meeting one of our other cats for the first time. Getting on fine now, chasing each other quite happily. Shame we have to give him back on Friday, I'd quite like to keep him really. He is a bit ugly though

If it's too loud, you're too old Coolant tank install looks a very decent job, especially with the OEM-style hoses.

You're right, this is absolutely on a par with whether or not the new A4 is better than the current 3 series or not. Or whether the new Fiesta ST is going to be the new king of the small hatch!

Put it back together, crack the windscreen, have it replaced for £75, then get them to repair the sensor as clearly they must've broken it that time

Is there a difference then? Or is it just a Fairlady/350Z-type thing?

I'm genuinely thinking of buying that myself, looks great fun!

BUY THIS STEVO

Ah that's a shame then. I haven't seen the cover you mention, but can you not wedge it off with a plastic trim removal tool? Worse case you break it, I bet they're not that expensive to replace.

I think they prefer to be known as women

Why on earth are so many men still under the thumb when it comes to choosing cars? Fair enough if the lady of the house is paying for it, otherwise she gets what she's given

When was the windscreen replaced? My first call would've been to go back to the company that fitted it and ask them to sort it.

Steve had a Focus, but he broke it MX5 no good for him as he wants the boot space.

The blue rinse brigade will keep Toyota alive forever. No-one else has been buying the crap they've been producing for the last ten years after all.* *GT86 aside.

Diesel is always going to give you bigger bills as it's more complex. With older cars you can multiply that upwards. So yes, yes it is.

If she does then personally I'd just claim she drove into the back of you. 50/50 claim is better than full fault, assuming she goes insurance.

Pics not working for me dude, at least on mobile. Any one else?

Paul, your link has a space at the end of the item number, if you edit the post to remove that it'll work fine

For the idiots that come on here playing Billy Big Balls and they're the next Ken Block etc, how very refreshing to see someone come on here and just open right up and admit they tried something new, got it wrong, and want a bit of honest help. Ryan, I genuinely doff my cap to thee sir. Please don't be afraid of switching the TCS off in the future, you've made a mistake and tbh there but for the grace of god goes me when I had my first RWD car and I started playing with moving the back around. I'll never forget it, 90deg right hander, warm summer evening, waaaaay too much throttle and the damn thing pirouetted on me. I've no idea how I saved it, far more luck than skill as I had zero idea of what I was doing. Could easy have been me posting up on a forum with tail between legs. SuperStu is organising some driver training days at Millbrook, well worth looking into. Or any trackday really, with a bit of coaching on the day, will massively help confidence. Stick with it, playing with RWD cars is one of life's many pleasures and no-one gets it right first time.

Sorry Tom, didn't mean to insinuate that you'd been anything other than cordial. Having been there though, with neighbours who felt like they owned a particular parking spot, it can make your life hell very quickly. It's okay now, but just wait until that car gets moved right to the very edge so you cannot reverse in. It's coming, I promise you. Best to get in there quickly, make them feel like utter muppets for staking their claim when you're a nice couple, and then get on with your life and enjoy it. I know it's easier said than done, especially if you're not a naturally outgoing person (my missus definitely is, so it makes my life easier), but it's so worth doing in the long run. If you didn't want to do a proper chat, even just take the wine over and say that you're sorry if they felt like you were encroaching, you really didn't mean to it's just that you were always taught by your Dad to reverse park wherever possible (ham it up) and here's a bottle of wine for no hard feelings, and if they ever need anything like a parcel taking in or someone to keep an eye on the house when they go on holiday they've only got to ask. All that guff.

And this is why I never want a shared driveway TBH I'd do yourself a favour in the long run and go and have a civil chat with them. Take a bottle of wine, start normal small talk, bring it up in casual conversation but laugh it off. Trust me, you do not want this to get any worse this early on, it's not worth. Bite your tongue, be nicey-nicey, then go home and call the guy a c*nt under your breath. My guess is they're getting really territorial over you driving into "their" land. Especially in a sports car, my guess is if you were 65 in a Micra they wouldn't give a toss.

Nowt wrong with a BMW, lad. Personally I'd still drop a couple of cats on and go from there, but even if you do flog it there's nothing stopping you buying another Zed.

Not for me, it isn't. Noise, feeling, mechanical thrashing, that build up of power to a crescendo (the latter being why I prefer petrol over diesel) is intrinsic to my enjoyment of cars. The one thing I don't give a hoot about is straight line performance, which is the only thing that Tesla offer for the motoring enthusiast. With speed limits closing in, 0-60 and top speed is becoming less relevant in the modern world. It's why the 350 remains such a tempting proposition, as its quick enough to be fun but slow enough you can actually use the power. Winning traffic light GPs is something for children to get excited about.

Hugely overpriced, and totally unavailable. Great way to launch a new budget performance brand.

Exactly, he's had many years of ICE racing, the kids only have a few years left, let them make the most of it If Kubica didn't have a gimpy arm, no-one would be saying that a 32 year old deserves a shot at a works F1 seat.
