  1. Why do Ferrari owners have the most c*ntish numberplates? Is it a mandatory thing they make you do before you buy one? I can’t be the only person who has noticed this phenomenon. Also cars should not wear lipstick, especially when it’s yellow
  2. Every single con at work keeps asking when we’re going into lockdown, so they’re clearly expecting it soon. Not happening yet and we’ve not had any cases in the prison yet, but they have cancelled all religious services now and visits are being reduced to half numbers in our establishment.
  3. Yeah don’t speed in France, they will drive you at gunpoint to a cash point to relieve you of 750EU quite happily. /VOE
  4. Still hoping they don’t class prison officers as a key worker tbh
  5. According to the BBC, our government is going to say that all pregnant ladies should stay at home for at least the next 12 weeks imminently. Needless to say, the missus is incredibly excited by this news. Tbh as am I, I can’t wait for all the washing and ironing to be back up to date!
  6. It’s pretty much standard on all modern cars these days, sadly. Nice manufacturer get out clause.
  7. Auto would put me off, but that mileage is nothing.
  8. You’ve had a BRZ, try something different
  9. Why are so many people watching adverts still? I can’t remember the last time I saw one on normal telly.
  10. Put it this way, best not to sit on any seats after me as you’ll probably end up pregnant.
  11. Four months on, I know have this cutie: And in six months... Child no2 is on the way!
  12. Thing is, people should be telling these people to their faces that they’re utter idiots, and not just posting on BookFace. “Good afternoon sir, is it just the 7000 toilet rolls for you today?” ”Yes thank you, can’t be too careful!” ”You’re a f*cking idiot and I’m not serving people that stupid in case I catch Stupid from you. Have a nice day!”
  13. Shame, but not unsurprising tbh.
  14. She’s a kid who’s never had to live in the real world. Her goal is fine, no issues there, but it’s not realistic so it’s become a religion more than anything. Her patronising tone of voice appeals to the young, but does nothing for those who can actually make a change. That’s her biggest issue, ultimately she wants to be popular like any child.
  15. Everyone knows NFSU was the king of the NFS games.
  16. I always used to call the unit in my old VXR a blower rather than a heater too!
  17. All the cool kids own(ed) E6x cars with a V8
  18. I bought my 911 without ever driving it, and my VXR without seeing it or ever having driven one!

    DOT number on tyres

    Well I wouldn’t buy them, put it that way.
  20. You’d have to send them adverts proving that you’d need more money to be able to replace the car, but remember to take 10-15% off the advertised price to allow for haggling as this is expected. Wait and see what they say, might not be as bad as you think
  21. Horses for courses. I loved the PDK in the Porker, but nothing can match the feeling of your own perfectly-blipped downchanges with a stick. I’d rather go slower and be more involved these days. It does depend on the car though. For example, I wouldn’t buy a manual Rolls Royce, but I wouldn’t buy a DCT Mini either. My old 645 was transformed just by being manual, but I wouldn’t consider a modern 911 without paddles tbh.
  22. Yup, and it's bone stock toyed with the idea of changing all the suspension out for adjustable stuff, or getting the BBR 200bhp NA kit, but honestly it would just change the character too much and make it less usable on a daily basis. I like the fact it's very forgiving and not that quick in a straight line, makes you work harder for it and rewards accurate driving.
  23. For some, that's also the appeal. There's a lot to be said for not standing out from the crowds always. For me personally, I see the TT as an absolutely fantastic every day car that does everything so very well, but maybe it's not as good as that special weekend car. Well, unless it's the RS of course. That's pretty much how I view my current MX5, too. It sits just behind the 911 as the best all-rounder that I've ever owned, but it's never going to give you that extra little bit that makes you smile as you start it up every day. Certainly not in stock form at least, but that doesn't mean I don't love it and thoroughly enjoy extracting every last bit of performance from it on a fun drive.
  24. True, I do buy ugly cars, I mean I bought a VX and the ragtop 350
