It’s ambiguous at best. It can either read as we’ll give the NHS £350M instead per week, or it can be read as a fact then a suggestion without giving specific figures.

Nope, entire headlight unit slides out on the flick of a lever in the frunk, utter simplicity!

Again, this is why the public shouldn’t be allowed to vote.

There’s updated pics in that PH link than when I first posted. I hate myself for saying this, but it looks better in grey. I definitely hate hate the interior though. That little lever is shocking.

I did like her shopping list comeback this morning

And as a case in point to almost go along with people voting to cut their own throats, bearing in mind I’m now employed directly by the State, every time I vote Tory I’m basically voting for my own wage freeze. I do it though because right now I believe a Lab government would be worse for the country as a whole, so I put others before me. Then again, a more sensible Labour could convince me to vote for them in the future, like I have done in the past.

Agreed. However the reverse is also true, given the massive rise in popularity of socialism in the younger section of society, without realising the full consequences of what that would actually mean in practice. For the record though, I’m not saying either is a good thing. Far right policies are equally as damning as far left, and I’m much more comfortable with the middle ground. This is partly why I think the ConLD government of a few years back was actually the right way to go, with the LDs reigning in some of the more extreme ideas from the Tories. Shame that most people only ever viewed it as a bad thing given that it started the much-needed (at the time) austerity.

Oh I dunno...

Which is the most disturbing thing, all the political point scoring. If he was serious about helping the people he'd have been offering his advisors and ideas for free on day one, but at no point have any of the other parties offered to join in. They knew it would be a clusterf*ck, and all wanted to distance themselves from it rather than actually do something about it. May doing a live TV debate with Corbyn is suicide. As much as May normally gets the better of him in PMQs, he'll rip her to shreds over this.

@StevoD @docwra back me up here guys!

They sound fantastic, even the new turbo ones. You're all wrong. I know it's a racecar so doesn't really count, but the current gen 911 RSR knocks spost off anything aurally in it's class. At LM it's sooo much nicer sounding than the 488, and even the Vettes are now firmly behind it which I never thought would happen. First 15 secs of that video confirm it. Piercing.

Interestingly the breakdown of votes by class (so broadly taking into account wealth by definition) indicates that those in the lower earning brackets were far more likely to vote Leave than those earning much more. This equally applies to the unemployed and the stay-at-homers as well, compared to those working full and part time which was much closer but in favour of Remain. Arguably the cows voted for their own slaughter. Source: https://www.ipsos.com/ipsos-mori/en-uk/how-britain-voted-2016-eu-referendum

https://www.pistonheads.com/news/ph-porsche/eighth-generation-porsche-911-officially-unveiled/39204 Sorry for the PH link, it's all there is right now until Porsche update their main page. My thoughts? I think the front end looks much better than the 991 (love the bonnet lines), I'm very happy they're all fat-bodied now, and those specs are seriously impressive: 430bhp, 3.5secs to 60 in the RWD version! That's just crazy, especially when you think that they keep moving the engine forward a little so it's even closer to being mid-engined now. Downsides? Well let's start with the obvious. That rear is, sadly, exactly as expected from the prototypes, by which I mean it's very bland and ugly. The light strip is gorgeous, but there's far too much blank space underneath it and the black plastic part housing the exhaust tips isn't worthy of a £100K car. I doubt the painted option will look any better, but we'll be able to see when the configurator goes live. I'm also not keen at all on the interior, what with the rather random looking PDK selector tacked on almost. I thought it was the key first of all! With all the screen space on the dash it's more S-Class than sports class, and the design of the tacho looks a little bland to me. I'm hoping it doesn't look quite so odd in the flash, but I'm not that keen on the current Panamera interior and the use of haptics in that either despite the rest of the world loving it, so we'll see. That said, I'm sure it'll still be class-leading to drive, I just wish they'd stop launching it in the winter as that always means my test drive is in the cold and damp! I'll keep an eye out for when my local OPC is doing their launch night, and pray I'm not working so I can get over for it. Also, negative car man points for anyone who says any of the following: - "It looks just like the old one" - "Not another Beetle" - "A GT-R is faster and cheaper!" - "It's a Porsche, Dan is going to love it and want to do sexy times with it regardless"

You'd have hoped we would've checked that first really. I hope the answer is no. Right now, we're going to get exactly what we deserve IMHO.

Bizarrely mine used a ton of it when I first got it, but after a while it stopped. I'm putting that down to the previous owner never really using the full rev range, and me... well, me definitely using it all!

Will they f*ck. It's a nose cutting off exercise now, on both sides. Damage is done, neither side can be seen to back down. Too much to lose from political perspectives.

Although it would split the leave vote, so arguably we'd be more likely to end with with Remain as the winner...

What were the emissions?

Yours a 997.2 as well isn’t it Hugh? That’s what I had to do with mine, run to operating temp them leave at idle for 5 mins, or whatever time it feels like telling you!

Same as my old 911, and I hated every second of it. Electronic oil measuring is a complex way of doing something so simple, and I trust my own eyes over a gizmo any day.

Might as well hard Brexit with no deal at this point. That’s ultimately where we are now anyway.

I like JRM. I may not agree with everything he says, but I do like that he stands by his opinions even when they’re deeply unpopular. The next Brexit vote is going to be a shambles. We all know it won’t get passed, which leaves us nowhere given that the EU have said that this is the only deal available. In retrospect perhaps the negotiating team should’ve been cross-party to avoid any “Well we could’ve done better!”, but then I doubt we’d have been able to reach a deal with the EU at all. Make no mistake, there’s not a single MP that’s doing anything for the good of the country over this. Tory rebels want May gone, Labour desperate to force a GE so they can do their own coalition, LD trying to appear relevant to the public with that nonsense People’s Vote, SNP taking every opportunity to cry some more about independence, and the DUP going full blackmail. No one cares that a no vote now is suicide. They all just have their own short-term agendas.

Or maybe shipping damaged them, that's just as likely. One of those things I'm afraid, it sucks but it does happen.

Cut it open, refit the cat material, weld it back up. In theory, anyway. Might end up just buying a new one anyway, but can’t hurt to try that first.

You can always do the pedal dance to get the code in the mean time If you have decats then that’ll be the main cause of the problem, so I’d suggest identifying that too.
