  1. Must be a local garage to you open? No real need for a specialist unless you’re convinced it’s something really difficult to diagnose, it’s not a particularly tricky car to figure out suspension-wise.
  2. Massive difference between an HR and a DE, hell there’s a big difference between a Revup and a HR too. The torque difference between the two is impossible to tell, the extra 1000 (or 500) revs makes a defined difference to the driving experience. Nicer interior on the later models, too.

    Juke Gen 2

    A Vauxhall built by Lotus does not count as a Vauxhall! Plus I had one so y’know...

    Juke Gen 2

    Nissan killed the Nismo brand in the same way that Vauxhall did with the VXR one, ironically.

    Juke Gen 2

    Didn’t even know there was a gen2 Juke! Looks like a Vauxhall. And I don’t mean that in a nice way.
  6. Fair enough bud
  7. Think of it this way, you’ll be going faster on newer better tyres than you will doing anything else pound for pound Also why never in the wet? That’s a bit odd, it’s a Nissan not a 1970s Ferrari.
  8. I swear to god if you mention look one more time...
  9. Nearly eight year old tyres? I’d be replacing the lot tbh, especially if there’s any cracking on them at all.
  10. There is no legal set limit for the MOT, however it should fail if the noise is above what you can expect from a standard car. It’s against the construction and use regs to fit any exhaust that is intentionally louder than OEM too. In practice as long as you don’t fit straight pipes right the way through and then sit outside McDonald’s banging it off the limiter, you’ll be fine
  11. I can’t see any I’d touch for that, they’re either non-club sport or cat d/dubious service history cars. Sadly I think the GT3 ship sailed long ago
  12. No pay rises for me for the foreseeable future methinks.
  13. I wouldn’t buy any cars as investments right now, not with the market being in a state of flux.
  14. If you never drive it, sure. I can think of better investments for £40k though.
  15. Too many colours going on imho, you’ve got three there now on the one side.
  16. But nug nugs are lyf
  17. I’d kill for a Bargain Bucket or some Chicken Nug Nugs though.

    ACE CAFE 2020

    6 weeks? No chance. They’d be relying on pubs/restaurants opening too to be able to stage this don’t forget, no way that’s happening in that time frame.
  19. They’re just playing on time, hoping people will get bored and leave them with the money. They say they can’t issue refunds quick enough as there’s so many to do, which is probably partly true as there’s less staff to issue refunds (and you can bet the system isn’t set up to issue automatically), but even so many of these companies will be taking the mick. Only thing you can do is issue a final letter before action, and hope that sorts it. Or be very nice to someone on the phone, if you can ever get through...
  20. Awesome, a whole bunch of nothing.
  21. There’s more to this than a simple robbery, methinks.
  22. Utter c*nt gives his child an utter c*nt of a name. Shocker.
  23. But how do you prevent against that? Apart from never opening the front door you can’t, so whilst it’s scary to watch something like that ultimately there’s nothing to be cautious of. If someone is going to run at your door and barge in, then that’s what they’ll do: Let them grab what they want at that point.
  24. Were older Vettes not the same though? Build quality has never been a US motoring strong point.
