  1. I don't see why the FA/FIFA can't just bring in a rule saying that any chat back at the ref or bad language or disrespect to any player or official, no matter how small, is an instant yellow card. Once teams start going down to 7 vs 7 you'll soon see a change in behaviour, and managers will be just as important as refs to keep the players in line. Do it for a couple of seasons, and watch the game changed for the better forever.
  2. You don't need breathalysers, there's no punishment for not having them. Stick the headlamp converter stickers in the glove box in case you get stopped, but otherwise leave them off unless you plan on doing a lot of driving at night. Hi-vis MUST be in the cabin with you. Ramps will be fine, they're used to low cars and unless yours is 2mm off the floor it won't be an issue. No GB sticker needed if you have it on your numberplate. And yeah, they'll sell them at the port at a massively inflated rate Go to Halfords tonight, it'll be fractionally cheaper at least.
  3. Blame the refs, not the players. If they can't tell play acting from genuine pain (and lets be honest, it hurts like f*ck when someone does rake their studs down the back of your calf!) then they should get the sack.
  4. They'd rather not lose than try and win, which is a shame. Perhaps if the penalties rule was abolished and replaced with attempts on goal x number of corners or something. I dunno, anything to make teams actually press forward a bit more.
  5. I think the occasion to got them a bit, but I also think they desperately missed Ramsey. Shame, but hopefully it'll spur them on to greater things in the future.
  6. Wheels I don't mind, it's the whole floating tub thing that looks a bit odd to me.
  7. No punchline, it just looks like one had sex with the other and this is the offspring
  8. I'd rather have cruise control than ESP or ABS But yes, the man above is totally correct.
  9. If a LaFerrari had a one night stand with a Huayra...
  10. Confession time: Many years back I went to the V Festival in my truck, mainly because I was carrying more than one passenger but also because I knew the field was boggy after rain. Parked up with everyone else. Come leaving time, you can imagine the chaos that ensues when people ignore road ways or common politeness. Well, after about 20mins of going nowhere fast I simply lit up the obstruction lights on the roof and watched as the sea of cars parted in front of me I felt like Moses, and navigated the rest of the car park in about 2mins flat. Completely legal, if a big cheeky.
  11. I almost admire the brass balls to do that.
  12. Much, much longer. If we see a new Zed before 2020 I'll be amazed.
  13. Get the Aventador, always a way of rejigging finances
  14. Ah just checked, they've snuck back up to the £100K mark. Shame. I know you were stung by the brand with the Cayman fiasco, but would a 997TT not be right up your street? Bulletproof engine in the Mezger, holding value, bonkers quick, plenty of stuff you can modify on them?
  15. Personally, I'm not as enthralled by the G as I should be. The interior isn't what it should be in terms of quality, the engine doesn't make a particularly nice noise unless you spend £££££ on the right exhaust, and some of the engineering is horrific. It's spectacular to look at, but as much as I love Lamborghinis in general I think I'd rather have the 'Vette. What price are early Murcis now?
  16. Without trying to ask the most obvious and personal question, what percentage increase is that? And what else would you buy for the money instead? If there's nothing out there that floats your boat without spending double, I still say go for it.
  17. So how much is the cost increase in pounds? I mean, it's a stunning car and one I'd love to own, and as a dream to say you've done it then even if it's another couple of grand it's still got to be worth it. Couple that with low depreciation and what you normally spunk on mods anyway ( ) then surely it's peanuts in the grand scheme of things? You can't put a price on your hobby matey, I say unless it's going to cost you another £20K then go for it. Man maths can work here!

    tyre decision

    Agreed. I certainly wouldn't put the RS3s up there with 050A, MPSS or the AD08R: They're more suitable for lighter, smaller cars like an MX5 or a Clio.
  19. Probably never. Unfortunately at the price they'd need to sell at no-one would buy it, if they found a way of dropping the V6TT from the R35 (detuned, of course) AND keeping the price about £35K then they might be onto a winner. I'm thinking of how quickly the Mustang and FRS are selling at that price, but you either get a nice V8 or a hooligan of pace for that cash. Sadly, the budget GT cruiser isn't massively high on the list of things people want any more. I dare say this is the end of the Zed, at least for the foreseeable future and certainly in NA guise.
  20. That's all made up. "A source said" is media speak for "I need some copy to fill a space".
  21. But take that another way: I could quote easily imagine that being done in great humour, with everyone laughing at Jordan fluffing his lines *again*, and Evans mocking him by banging his head on a wall. As ever, the devil is in the details and how it gets reported.
