  1. As long as you don't leave neat product baking into the stone, it'll be fine.
  2. I genuinely have no idea what to say, I can't imagine anything more distressing that someone could do to a person that doesn't involve violence.
  3. Oh god this new bloke on Extra Gear is seriously f*cking irritating KIlls it dead.
  4. I can only assume that was because James McAvoy couldn't actually complete a single lap without spinning, so might as well put it on otherwise there'd be no lap at all Just a shame that he has the personality of a limp parsnip. Good episode, and I'm so glad that Rory and Chris have been bumped up to main presenters now. Both really talented guys who deserve this.
  5. I stayed in bed as the weather just looked awful
  6. So no note or anything? No hints that things weren't right?
  7. F*cker. That sucks man. So, who were you poking then?
  8. It's all relative, I guess. Put a 350 up against an XKR and it's like a Caterham, put it up against a Caterham and it's like an XKR
  9. Woah, that's pretty harsh Did she take any of your stuff?
  10. Fair play for being honest, most people don't. It's hard to go from a sports coupe to a GT, and you do need to adjust your brain and expectations a bit. There are ways of making the car what you want, but at what cost? I reckon the Jag could be made to be better, but you'll never get round the weight and size of the damn thing. Depends how much more you're happy to put in, and whether you think you'll get that value back in enjoyment. I'd definitely start by changing the stuff that's easy to do (fit softer padding to the arm rest, remove some sound deadening) but after that I don't know. I had to do a fair amount to mine to get it to handle rather than waft, would you be prepared to do the same? As obvious as it sounds, especially coming from me, but a 911 would give you the best of all worlds. Chuckable, waftable, involving, and a decent size fuel tank. But it's not a V8, and the pull of those is strong!

    No clue!

    On the flip side, I don't like Teins at all on UK roads. Far too hard regardless of what you do to them, they always seem to be oversprung and underdamped. Great for smooth Japanese roads, not so helpful for our crappy B-roads.
  12. I go for Fisherman's Friend. I always had you down for under 85
  13. Of course! I will also accept chewing gum, or any other commonly available way of freshening your breath.
  14. If anyone tries to push in, they're welcome to the space. Doesn't matter the size, why would I risk my own vehicle?

    I wanted an SLS for years, until I got a pax ride in one. So very, very disappointing. The noise just didn't cone through, interior felt cheap, just not the premium experience I was expecting. I suspect the BS is a different kettle of fish though.
  16. Ooh that's a good shout, and slightly more manly than a hair clip
  17. Tic Tacs. Wifi OBDII adaptor. Random change for random parking meters. Nothing else is required.
  18. Hammer it back in, then get a small clip to push through that tiny hole on the inside of the caliper (like the other pin you can see has). Driving as it is isn't an option as I suspect you're very close to losing the retaining clip, if that pops off you'll find the brake pads will want to move around in the caliper (although they won't fall out as the other pin is there), but pushing the pin back in should be safe enough to get you to a shop to buy the clip. Any bit of metal you can push through will do, I've used hair clips before in an emergency.
  19. Good memory, close! 5x 50-30 light 5x 70-40 med 5x 100-40 hard And with 5mins motorway speed driving without braking in between each set to let let cool off. Speeds are only a guide though, just do whatever you feel comfortable with (so maybe 80-40 for the last set, but do an extra one to get the heat up).

    No clue!

    Coilover = coil (spring) over damper, or what the 350 has at the front. Rear is seperate spring and damper. Coilover technically better, but honestly not worth the hassle to change on the Zed unless you're at the extreme end of modding.
