Sure? 'Cos it looked odd and twitchy like cgi tends to. Just a bad actress then

It got boring. It's now precisely the same as old TG was, just with more knob jokes. Not for me, I'm afraid, but fans will be happy it's back to normal I'm sure.

It's just one more thing to go wrong, and vastly more expensive to fix than a regular cable. Plus, it's no better than a normal one, and actually has more drawbacks in that you don't have full control over it. I hates them.

AD08Rs are excellent, if you prefer a track-biased road tyre. I'd rate them well above the Nankangs by some margin. The 2.0s are more suitable for a Fiesta than a sports car. Even Nanking promote their quiet running and water dispersal over any kind of performance. Outside of that, I'm going with my generic reply of either MPSS or MPS4 depending on the exact size you want and availability. Still nothing better yet, and the slight extra layout in money is paid back by longer life and then some.

Oof, good memory sir!

Manual handbrake is a good thing! The electronic one is the worst 'invention' in cars since runflats.

Two things: Never burn your bridges. Staying on and being helpful may pay dividends in the long run, should things not turn out as you hope. Once a decision is made, always stick with it. Never change your mind or alter a plan, stay on the route you've planned. Which is of no help, I know, but that may help you decide which is more important.

HGVs are easier to overtake than cars. Deathly slow to accelerate, very predictable in their movements, they're just a bit longer so adjust your road placing to obtain the best view. Your TED when overtaking a lorry shouldn't really be any more than if it was a car, especially in something with a bit of oomph.

Drive one. They're utterly fantastic. Even the auto box is spot on, but it's the handling and ability to use the power that really makes it special. Much better car than the M4 is. But yeah, it just feels like a boggo 118d inside which is a bit of a pity. You could always add your own touches or spend a little more on deviating stitching etc to liven it up.

Polish wtf??!! :lol:

I've never seen fake OEM Rays, ever. Probably a stamp on the back somewhere though.

Unless you live in Scotland, where they're much better at it than anywhere else.

It does on the motorway when accelerating hard, but never on the country lanes where it matters IME.

:( It's Xmas, I'm allowed a few extra pounds

If you're holding someone up, you should pull over and let them past. You can then bimble along to your heart's content.

That's brave with kilos of vinyl and those lead spacers And the wing too! I reckon I'm under 1650kg, easy. That should be the minimum for a boggo car which mine pretty much is, even with the spacers the wheels are lighter than stock, seat is much lighter, bits and pieces lost from the engine bay etc.

When I'm in charge, anyone that has an accident on a straight bit of road gets an instaban for a year. There's just no way it should be possible for motorways to have accidents every single day. This is alongside my long-standing snipers-on-roundabouts for those who don't indicate pledge.

I'd take faster over safer

Reminds me, I really need to get my car weighed at some point.

Correct, they shouldn't. I wouldn't give anyone over the age of 60 a licence without yearly tests. Doddery old windbags.

Interesting stuff, ta The torque per tonne figure is a good one, I've not ever really bothered looking up at that before.

:cry: :cry:

Indeed. Any old diesel lump has more than enough torque to overtake with, but no-one ever does. Me, I'll do it at every single time given the chance. Good practice.

Tell a lie, it was Flickr, not Imgur. My bad, soz boz!

It was a link that someone on PH posted the other day, let me go find it.
