  1. Jaguar cars say hi. As do Lamborghini and, to an extent, Ferrari. Also Astons ain’t great, especially the early Vantages and DB9s.
  2. McLaren really aren’t content with having sh*t driving F1 cars, they also seem to want sh*t looking road cars too. That’s a mess. A different kind of mess compared to the Senna, but a mess nevertheless.
  3. Truth is that the vast majority car people don't watch TG and GT, they're for regular people. Hence the big viewing figures.

    Tyre fitting

    Where do you normally go for new tyres? I’d just use them, after all you’re clearly happy with them so far. Ultimately though as long as they’re a decent size company and you have proof of before/after if they mess up, anyone will do. Even Kwikfit et al.
  5. I wonder if that’s why TG and GT have bombed? Maybe people did used to want old blokes tw*tting around in cars, but in this post #metoo #snowflake world, I’m not so sure that’s what the public really want any more.
  6. I wrote coating on my first edit too, but decided to be more inclusive
  7. Always always always wax* after using polish, else you’re exposing fresh paint straight to the ravages of nature and all the crap in the air. It’s fine to wax but not polish, but not polish and not wax. *for wax, read protective layer of your choice.
  8. It's not really washing though, it's dragging the dirt and crap off the paint by brute force.
  9. Well yeah, I think we'd kinda guessed that but thanks for playing
  10. Harris is still there, he's on the RHS of the main pic on the link!

  12. Hazardous how?? the force of an airbag will very quickly shift or rip the wire out unless it’s tighter than a duck’s posterior and welded into place: a wire shoved up behind the trim is neither of those things.
  13. Going EV for green reasons is a fad and the wrong reason to do so imho. I’m not convinced EVs are any better long-term than ICE cars, maybe hydrogen is but all this tech is just being rushed through for a political and/or publicity reason. Right now it’s hipster to be EV, but will it stay like that forever?
  14. So basically it’s still all Trump’s fault? Figured as much.
  15. Because of the lack of readily available plutonium, duh!
  16. That's my point, I'm only 38 and I still don't think this is remotely doable even in the wildest dreams. But on a wider note, aren't we all slowly dying really...? *scene fades out to some soft music and fluffy clouds in a bright blue sky*
  17. Never ever going to happen in my lifetime, so I give not two hoots about it.
  18. Yup, it has a much more sensitive knock sensor that will happily cope with 95ron at any revs, assuming you're with making a bit less power.
  19. You cannot run a DE engined car on 95ron, as the knock sensor does not function once you hit higher revs i.e. 4k rpm and over. You can’t change what others have done, but please only use 97+ going forward.
  20. OEM if you want quieter, surely?
  21. They’re f*cking awesome. In all seriousness though, I have nothing negative to say about them. They’ve improved on the one area the MPSS weren’t great at (road noise), and are at least if not more the equal in all other areas. Wear and tear I can’t tell yet as I’ve not done enough miles, but that’s probably a positive thing if I can’t even see any wear yet! If you’re running 18” wheels and need a tyre to put on them, you’d be mad to consider anything else tbh.
