  1. Just watching it now. Intro was as good as every one is saying, much to my cynical disappointment
  2. What gear were you in? Or have you tried it in multiple gears?
  3. Sounds normal to me. Auto might be a bit quicker to react as it can change gear, but a manual can't. Every car with CC I've ever driven will drop a fraction on the uphill and rise a bit on the downhill, as it has no idea how steep the hill is and can only compensate retrospectively. What gear were you in?
  4. Already on torrent sites, grab it that way
  5. You'll need twice as much as you think, one lot to throw away when you f*ck it up the first time
  6. Is it the weekend yet? WHERE'S THE BLOODY PICS MAN FFS
  7. Ep2 has no cars in it at all, according to Clarkson on R2 with Steve Wright yesterday. And possibly Ep8 as well, he thinks.
  8. Says it all Nissan, legendary brand?! Jeeeeez. That's stretching it massively.
  9. If they have no imagination or aspiration, sure.
  10. Well, yeah, partly. No-one dreams of owning a Nissan when they're 8, do they?!
  11. I knew you'd turn to the dark side eventually
  12. Because just look at the damn thing! And listen to it! And that snickety gear change! You'll feel a million dollars with a Ferrari badge looking back at you on the steering wheel, less so with a Nissan one.
  13. Of course they're on a different level..THEY ARE SUPERCARS!!...UNOBTAINABLE for the majority. Which is why they're desirable, unlike a modded Jap car. What I mean is that you can chuck as much money at an R34 all you like, it'll never come close to a 355 in terms of the overall package.
  14. Ever driven a supercar? 458 or even an old Gallardo is on a different level entirely to a modded Jap car.
  15. Just needs the tags swapping round, now if only there was a Mod near by...
  16. Not picking on your particularly here Bobby, it's just that yours is the first post I noticed Same applies to the other who have similar cars in their collection... With an F50, F1 and Zonda in the collection, how do you decide which one to take where? For me, they all fill the exact same brief in being mental analogue V12 supercars, so either you'd find your favourite one and only use that or you'd never really get the chance to 'learn' all three. It's a lovely sunny day, you're going out on some wide empty roads, which does your heart say you'd take? Same with the 350, the 911, the 22B and the R32: They're all roughly the same size, roughly as quick as each other on the road, similar luggage space etc. What would make you choose the R32 over the 22B, for example? As much as I like the 350Z, I can't imagine anyone would ever pick that to drive over the 997 4L (I assume 997 as you say about the proper gearbox comment) in any occasion. RS6 as a load lugger I get, and the MX5 too (although I wouldn't say an s/c'd MX5 is much more capable in the rain than the 22B). The Carlton I assume because childhood, as I can't see a single time you'd take that over the Audi.
  17. No-one needs ten cars, I can do it in three. F12berlinetta, for Euro jaunts and general V12 goodness 997 C2S with a manual 'box and a host of suspension upgrades, for use as a daily drive Exige S, for winning at trackdays I genuinely wouldn't need anything else at all. I may trade cars in and out of that selection at times (Caterham for the Lotus, Lambo for the Ferrari, a different kind of 911 for the 911) but that'd be my starting point. I wouldn't want a specific set of cars, I'd want to change them up frequently. Hell, I'll just take one car at a time and do everything with that, change it every 6mths or so.
  18. If it ever happens. I can't see it myself, given the extraordinary performance of the P1/GTR, where is there left to go? You're talking about running at the limits of tyre tech for the road, and whilst of course they could make some fancy one-offs (like the Veyron), are McLaren a flush enough company to do something like that? I don't know. If it did, what price? £3M? £5M? It'd be crazy money.
  19. Not even close. Tbh even with the bungs in the tone can still trip noise meters in strict places (MSV tracks).
  20. Get Dishonored on the scabby consoles, it may be peasantry but it's oh-so amazing. I didn't get to bed until 0200 last night as one level took me 4 hours to do with perfect stealth/no kill
