  1. I suspect the Yanks are going to nick it. Just got that feeling.
  2. Said like a true Porsche owner! you got there before me Also said like a pikey old MX-5 owner The point stands regardless of what car you own: Fuel is the biggest running cost you've got, VED is nothing.
  3. Always. A bottle and a rag takes up no space at all in the boot really.
  4. Whether it's £270 or £500, it's still peanuts in the scheme of annual car ownership costs.
  5. VED doesn't go towards the upkeep of the roads. And yes, if people keep buying low VED cars then another tax will need to rise to balance the books. Like fuel.
  6. Plenty of QD and a microfibres for me. The more liquid, the less chance of scraping the bird crap into your paintwork IMHO.
  7. A dimmer switch is about fiver. Buy one and try it.
  8. DMS get a lot of good press, but none from enthusiasts. They have a good, solid brand, but some of their claims are either silly or their maps don't leave you with a safe margin. All second-hand evidence, but I wouldn't spend my money there.
  9. I know, I was making a point in general rather than replying to you directly.
  10. Looks fine, won't give any extra power unless you Uprev, leaves you open to hydro locking.
  11. I wouldn't get hung up on the charging issue unless you plan to keep your phone for 5+ years. Since smartphones came out, I charge mine every night or if it needs a top-up, then it gets one. It goes straight into the PCM3 system in the 911 as soon as I get in it, and if I've mullered it at work then it gets topped up in the truck on the way home. If it needs power then it gets it, no point letting it die or not using it just so I can connect it to the mains when I get in.
  12. Maldonado is a giant asshat. Having him up the front is only going to end in tears for someone, I just hope it isn't Lewis.
  13. Now you just sound stupid. You were doing okay until that last line. Seriously though, remove the vid from YT.
  14. Link? I'm getting an official Apple one, and they're not due out until next month. I'd want to see how good these knock offs are before committing to pluggin one into a £700 handset.
  15. Take it somewhere other than DMS for the tuning. Nine Excellence would be my preference. Ditch the wheels for some light BBS ones, pop some Cup brakes on there, sorted.
  16. Regardless of whether or not it's against forum rules, do you really think posting up a video for everyone to see that you're clearly speeding on UK roads is a good idea? Especially when your face is in it as well? Assuming, of course, this wasn't filmed in the IoM.
  17. On some cars, if the rear wheels are turning but the fronts aren't then it can put the car into limp mode, as it tries to protect the drivetrain because it thinks you're revving the car whilst it's stuck in snow or mud.
  18. A billion times better than the old ones. I couldn't even use them for more than 5 mins at a time as they make your ears ache, but the new ones are very comfy and have two speaker holes in each pod now. I don't know if that's something that all posh headphones have these days, but I didn't expect that. Very comfortable to wear, or at least they seemed to be. Sounds quality was very good, albeit a little bassy I think. That might be my settings though, I'd need to have a further play.
  19. Normally I'd agree and say that there's no way it'll sound like that, but given how noisy the 991 is with the sport exhaust on, I reckon it's just possible it may stay this way.
  20. It'll look exactly like this Sorry, but that front end is horribly busy. Far too many cooling ducts. It all looks a bit too droopy too, but that could just be the angles they've used.
  21. Oh my reason isn't tinfoil hattery, it's just because I prefer to have control of all my stuff at home so I know exactly what I'm doing with it. I bet Zedrush doesn't use iCloud because of the contact list
