  1. 2nd one, as it's a manual. The Tip 'box is awful to use. However I wouldn't be paying any more than £12K for it with that interior! If you want a 996, then get an early 3.4 as the IMS is a dual-row one and much less likely to go pop, plus less likely to suffer from bore scoring. You won't notice the reduction in power.
  2. The debate was a debacle, Johnson did well to avoid it and get dragged in. Live debates come GE time is a good idea as it's us who will be doing the voting, but for a party leadership contest I just don't see the point. Yes whoever wins will be our next PM and that's kinda important, but we have zero say in it (unless you're a member of the Tory party) so it seems a bit of a waste of time. As for who wins, if it's anyone other than BoJo it'll be a horrendous mistake. Like him or loathe him (and he's equally as divisive as Corbyn) he'll certainly be very different to what has come before and that might not be a bad thing, plus if anyone else wins then we'll end up with "But BoJo would've done X Y or Z much better!" for a few years. Might as well give him a crack and see what happens, if he cocks it all up then that's the end of his career and we'll never have to see him again Really the choice of Anyone But Boris or Boris is no different to Hilary or Trump: There's no winner here. No-one in power would've made a better job of Brexit, regardless of what colour tie they wear. It was always going to be a mess and we'll be picking up the pieces for ages.
  3. Including me It’s actually an interesting question, given Michelin’s sporty tyres tendency to have stiff sidewalls which exacerbate the issue of a poor ride using heavy wheels. That said, the Zeds are sports coupes which allows for a certain amount of compromise, so it won’t come as any surprise when I say that the MPS4S is exactly where you should be looking as well
  4. I'd like to know if it works on flat surfaces only.
  5. Indeed. This is a discussion board not product placement, after all.
  6. 19s, go for MPS4S.
  7. You must declare them if required on your insurance contract, else you run the risk of finding yourself uninsured.
  8. IMS definitely NOT fixed, but still just a 5-10% risk of it going. Bore scoring on the S much more troublesome, so always get them inspected regardless. As long as it’s fine, and again remembering that more mileage is better, buy and enjoy the finest sports coupe of the time. The IMS was only sorted on the 2009 Cayman S that did away with it entirely and moved to the DFi engines.
  9. Is there not a key operated switch for the pax airbag? Been a while since I’ve been in one tbh, could be imagining things.
  10. Turn it off regardless. I would.

    Wrap !

    Hey I'm easy either way! And yes, I started that rumour too
  12. That’s cool, I can respect that opinion fella Let’s not forget I think the Eagle F1s are utterly shocking in the wet too, and am convinced the RE070 give better grip which just shouldn’t be the case (it is though)! What concerns me is how many of these tests by different mags come out with such drastically different results. I appreciate there’s always a human element taken into account with regards to feel, but when you look across the tests there’s very rarely a choice that tops them all.
  13. On a FWD scrabble wagon. I really don’t like the EVO tests for that reason alone, although I appreciate they need to appeal to the mass market. Can’t argue with the figures at all, I can only go from experience.

    Wrap !

    Snow foam and a regular wax is fine. Always use the TBM though as otherwise it’ll scratch horribly: Mine was immaculate for two years this way, then I had a buyer coming round last minute so gave it a very quick wash with a single bucket and there were score marks everywhere Never ever polish it. Ever. Don’t even put a compound bottle near it.
  15. The reason that a lot of high performance cars have P Zeros on from the factory is that Pirelli pay them a lot of money to do so
  16. No, they're dreadful things. I hate them in anything other than bone dry conditions. If you liked what you had before, why swap?
  17. Read the Sticky about mixed tyres, make up your own mind. But yes, you've created a huge instability in the car now with completely different tyres front to back, as well as new and old.
  18. It’ll look for any random device it can connect to. More likely your neighbour has bought a Roku recently, so don’t worry about it. You can check on your router what what devices have access to your WiFi, if you’re that worried you can filter by approved MAC addresses only.
  19. Have you tried a reset?
  20. Refund? Or don’t go there again at least
  21. School did teach fiscal responsibility, basic maths means going into negative figures isn’t good and basic English helps with reading the small print. If you cant be bothered to read the small print, that’s your loss. Hell if you can’t even read then get the sales guy to read it out for you, make him earn his money.
  22. Ring up and get them to reduce it. I got 18mths cover with the RAC for £110 after I called them.
  23. Always read the small print, kids. If it says no mods, then don’t be surprised if they come calling when you mod it. IIRC VWFS did the same to a Leon owner a few years back.
  24. Surprised you didn't go for a dogleg 'box like the classic Fezzas of yore I like that
