I'm not that brave, I don't trust the public that much

Plus, I'm fed up paying more for my holidays. You saw the pound plummet again when there was a sniffle of Corbyn winning at the election, so do it for me if for nobody else!

If you want to be paying more for stuff, you vote Labour. If you don't, you vote Tory. None of the parties have produced a properly costed manifesto, but only one is promising the Earth will miraculously change in the next five years. It won't. The NHS will still be crap and giving contracts to the private sector, education will still be against the wall due to having zero money, and there won't be a single copper more on the streets. It took 50 years of multiple governments to make things this bad, it ain't gonna be fixed in 5 regardless of who is in, and I don't think things will get better with the Tories in either! Above all else, remember this is a Brexit choice. If you genuinely believe that JC will get a stronger deal for the UK for the next 30 years then by all means vote for him, and I'll fully respect your decision. If you doubt that for a second, then vote for TM. Honestly, nothing else remotely matters, and its promises of a better world overnight that has put us in the place where we need to consider Brexit all over again.

I've been told off for referring to eating a Chinese takeaway as having a chinky before. Aside from recalling that incident just then, I don't do so any more. Generally if someone called me a fat white f*cker I'd be more irritated by the fat f*cker bit than the colour of my skin, however you then have the issue of white privilege to deal with and I'm not convinced we'd be able to have a reasonable debate about that on here, or any mainly white male-based forum.

PH only for me, eBay too many idiots (although that can be weeded out by doing a decent advert) and AT too pricey. The fact I get free ads on PH does help though!

Lids: Buy the one that fits and meets FIA regs. It may mean you end up spending £1000 instead of £300, or you may get lucky like me and find the £300 Sparco is a better fit than the £1k carbon Arai you wanted. Also never use bike kids in a car, they're designed for very different crashes and may not protect your head in an accident. HANS: Up to you. If you have the budget then absolutely why not, even if someone at track thinks it's overkill you'll be very grateful for it if you need it. I'd buy a romper suit over a HANS first though, I think. Harnesses/cages: Harnesses are fine with no cage, but only if done up properly tight else they can be more dangerous than a lap belt. Fine to use without a cage. Cages you need to be careful, as if your head could touch any part of it in a medium crash then you MUST wear a helmet at all times, including road use! This is why most people go for half cages than full cages, but it's almost overkill for a coupe on track unless you're running slicks. Harnesses I'd definitely do though, makes a huge difference to the driving experience. I'd use DT to go and try everything on, then either haggle a discount when you're there (doable if buying a fair bit of kit) or just buy from any shop on the internet that looked half decent.

It depends on reasonableness of knowledge. Old Doris may get Kwik Fit to for non-OEM discs and not declare, but as a car enthusiast you are expected to know that fitting better discs is indeed a modification and should declare it.

Definitely coincidence.

That's funny as hell :lol:

Labour have produced a stunning campaign, and the Tories the biggest clusterf*ck of one I've ever seen. No arguments here at all. That said, it would be amazing (and frightfully disappointing in terms of people simply switching based on media campaigns) if the Labour wipeout in the locals was reversed in just a few weeks. I've still got money on Corbyn to be PM at ridiculous odds though, so I'm okay Do Labour voters really believe that Corbyn will be able to do half of what he says? Tory stuff is relatively easy to believe as it's deathly dull and obvious, but some of the Labour policies are pie-in-the-sky stuff.

That's crazy talk!

But who pays for the state-funded insurance? We do, via higher taxes which only get paid by those that can afford it, therefore perpetuating the vicious circle of those who can't afford it not paying into the system. Besides, not fair to make everyone pay for state-funded insurance when not everyone drives.

I get better fuel economy from my 4.4 V8 than from the 2.0 turbo flat-four in the Impreza. The Bummer is better on fuel than my 350 was, too.

About two years ago, I think.

Exciting times

I suspect you're, right, but I'd put money on the AMG thing being even quicker. Aren't Ferrari doing another Ubercar too?

F*ck you elastictrickery

Sorry man, I know we've had our differences but I couldn't let you do that: it's truly dreadful and tacky. If you really must, at least keep the words next to each other. But still don't

Thank god they didn't make more of them!

Some can, and tbh yours is a frickin' powerful one so it's gonna get a little warm. Def not suitable for use on a lap!

Depends if I buy any or not

Have an idea for my Nismo... or your 6 http://66.media.tumblr.com/007168c486c96f0a50ea2e616368b2fe/tumblr_oblmo8cJED1ug9hqfo1_1280.jpg Le Mans next year! You don't even want to know how many times I saw Girls Aloud in concert then...

Pokemon leggings are amazing!

Agreed. A Labour win would be chaos for the markets, and we can expect to see the pound weaken considerably I suspect. A Tory win (and a proper one, not just a couple of extra seats) would mean that the pound will creep back up again, but not by a huge amount. A hung parliament would be bloody awful though.

I did indeed, and it's worth every penny. The manual is a massive thing, packed full of pics of the Porsche factory and how they build the cars. The model itself is put together in the same order that the car is built in, i.e. you make the engine & PDK 'box first, then you make the base chassis, then you mount them together etc. Took me a good few hours to build over about a week, and it's absolutely huge too. I'm hopeful that Lego will do more of these, maybe something from McLaren or Ferrari seeing as how they already produce smaller versions of those cars already. Not cheap, but I got mine from a chap on PH who does bulk buy discounts. StevoD bought one for his Dad at Christmas, think it was about £150 from memory which is an utter bargain.
