  1. I don't think it makes you a walkover, but paying for her insurance is no longer your responsibility: It's hers. If she needs the car for school runs, then she needs to make sure she can sort that herself. You need to stop asking her things, and start telling her things. If she won't meet face to face then that's fine, people have lives to get on with, but then send her a letter telling her what needs to be sorted. For example, tell her you'll pay the insurance up to the end of April, and the loan as well up to the same point. This gives her time to sort things, but also gives a final cut off that she knows to stick to. In a few years time you'll look back on this and agree with me, I promise. I kept my other half on the mortgage of my old place for way longer than was healthy, and it did no benefit to either of us.

    New 911 GT3

    Anyone with half a brain or an eye on resale will get the manual. In reality, I suspect it'll go 50/50 in terms of sales, but it depends on who the dealer picks to sell to.

    Oh they know their customers, they just don't want to give them a choice. They'd sell just as many even with a manual option as they limit the numbers on purpose, hell they could even charge more for the manual 'box!
  4. I read it too, I thought it was very open and honest and it made a lot of sense. No harm in what you said at all fella
  5. About £700 in 18" for me, 245 front and 275 rear.
  6. They're on every news outlet, so I assume so.
  7. Looks better in the dark grey, it hides many of the stupid lines. But I say looks better in dark grey in the same way that Katie Hopkins looks fit when you turn the lights off.

    They didn't realise that the market for the manual was that strong, they just (wrongly) assumed everyone wanted to go as fast as possible regardless of involvement. Them bringing the manual back shows that they actual listen as a company, it's just a shame that Ferrari and Lambo don't do the same. Imagine a 2WD manual Huracan Spyder...
  9. If that's what teenagers want, then I think we've found out the biggest problem with kids today

    500hp, 347ft/lb, 0-60 3.4secs for PDK but clearly we'd all be taking the manual version at 3.9secs 9000rpm and a stick to change gear with. Aside from the slightly dodgy red trim around the wheels and on the seats, that's simply beautiful. I prefer the front of the gen1 to this one, but I'm splitting hairs really.
  11. 320hp, 295ft/lb, 0-60 5.7secs. And just about the ugliest hatch we've ever seen grace the market. I'm not sure what's worse, that messy front bumper assembly or that hysterically shaped triple exhaust :lol: Man, that is seriously ugly. They didn't just raid the parts bin for various things to stick to it, they decided to drop it into the skip outside and see what hooked on. Who the hell signed that off?!
  12. You and me both, I reckon I might be due for some new boots then too.
  13. What car is this in matey? Dension stuff works well, mate had one in his 997.1 and the integration was excellent.
  14. Internet arguing is the best PS4 is multi compound (like the MPSC2), unlike the PSS which is dual compound. That and the fact there's been a few years' worth of R&D into developing new rubber makes it the go-to choice for me in 18" sizes. If I had 19" wheels then yes, MPS4S is the way to go, but for 18" I don't feel hard done by at all.
  15. He was clear. He said MPS4, not MPS4S.
  16. Why? What else are is he going to do with it, give it all to her? Erm, no thanks, I'd rather waste it on an experience than give it to someone like that. Seriously, would you just give it up then? Or donate the lot to charity.

    Stubaru BRZ

    ? it's the same car same suspension Nope, the suspension is different between the two cars. Stiffer on the rear on the 86, stiffer on the front on the BRZ. The difference is far more noticeable than you might think, too.
  18. Go see a solicitor. Now. However, unless the agreement is written down somewhere then I'd tell her to get stuffed. Or I'd spend every last penny the second I got my hands on it: Rather you enjoy it than her. Imagine a £20K holiday, being waited on hand and foot, or hiring an NSX to drive Suzuka, or a GT3 to drive the Ring...
  19. ^^^ That. Allegedly, but I trust the source.
  20. EVERYTHING MWAHAHAHAHAHA
  21. As long as you don't leave neat product baking into the stone, it'll be fine.
  22. 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.
  23. I so want one
  24. Oh god this new bloke on Extra Gear is seriously f*cking irritating KIlls it dead.
  25. 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.
