Why on Earth is there no gasket! I assumed you’d blown it to pieces by having a loose manifold, not that there wasn’t one there at all

A loving god doesn’t give babies cancer.

Exactly that. Forward planning will make much more difference to your mpg than any gadget. Regardless of vehicle, I’ve also found the best way to save a few quid on fuel is to do 60 rather than 70 on the DCs and motorways. You’d be surprised how little difference it makes to the overall time of the journey, and makes for much more relaxed progress.

But if you bought a 370Z new, you had to pay £1700 in the first year, so swings and roundabouts. Plus, y'know, spending £30K in the first place

Manifold loose, as in manifold to block? Can you not put some locking nuts on them? Or even better the S14 locking tabs. And yeah, you def need a new garage.

Whilst it's a little bit funny, I'm actually more genuinely pleased to see that at least one manufacturer is stepping back and moving back to proper buttons again. I know tesla are a long way from that, but it's a good start.

But again, who cares? It’s really not a good reason to pick one car over another, not when we’re talking about cars over ten years old.

Indeed. The link even says that too, check out the asterisk on Band K.

Not being funny, but if you chose the car based on the VED then that was a huge mistake regardless. The difference is about the cost of a pint of beer a week, it’s peanuts. Just enjoy the car regardless, it’s the fuel consumption that will cripple you not the VED

Club events like this are 5% about the cars, and 95% about the people.

Have you ever tried semi slicks though?

37s every day.

This seems to make some sense, in that without mass you cannot have gravity.

But instead of wasting that money praying, imagine if it was used to cure all those problems forever? I don’t disagree that charity is a good thing, but you don’t need religion for that in the slightest. Praying does nothing, creating sustainable plant life for use in drought-affected countries is something that could make a real difference. You mention health care, that’s exactly where science has created massive leaps in the last few decades. Think about where we were compared to where we are. I don’t know enough about theory to answer the Big Bang vs gravity question. However, I’d suggest that gravity as a force is likely to always have existed regardless, but I’d need to research that before being comfortable with it.

It’s called PPI, you might have heard of it Most policies will cover redundancy and sickness, but for obvious reasons not getting sacked (so don’t do that).

Erm, surely you just make sure you have the appropriate insurance in place? Certainly I always did when I had my PCP deals in place, nothing to worry about then.

You're quite right, that's my basic mistake there. Cheers for correcting dude

Just thinking about it, can you just imagine what the USA could actually accomplish if they diverted all their funds from churchgoing hocus pocus into the sciences? According to a 2016 study that was approx $1.2 trillion a year, which is more than the combined revenue of the top ten tech companies including Apple, Google and Amazon. We could cure cancer and world hunger overnight. But no, it's more important to believe in #prayforeveryone than actually helping mankind.

Well, it kinda does. Science is based very much on the provable, and anything that isn't provable is called a theory. Anything that is provable is called a fact. This is different from faith, where nothing is provable in the slightest and is all based on he-said-she-said written thousands of years ago. And science helps us all, as a worldwide nation. Obtaining knowledge about how the universe works is key to understanding how everything works, so to dismiss it as not helpful really isn't, well, helpful! For example, exploring other worlds will ultimately lead us to future colonisation to keep the human race going after we've f*cked this planet up completely. Think of it like this: Remember in school when you studied trigonometry, and thought it was all nonsense and how could that possibly help you in life? And then you go and get a job working in construction and realise that maths is the core basis of something as simple as building a home for someone. It's like that.

Imagine being so small you can fit on top of a pencil. Now imagine that pencil is laying on a table in the office of the PM. Now imagine you’re on top of that pencil, trying to see the Giza pyramids being built thousands of years ago. It’s that kind of scale we’re dealing with here, and we’re only just a blink of the eye into discovering these things. So yes, we have a much better understanding of the universe than we did fifty years ago, but we’re still making new discoveries every day. That’s the brilliance of science. One day I’m sure we’ll have all the answers, but for now theories are giving us amazing progress and allowing us to explore.

Oh god no, factory teams are the pinnacle of the sport for me. Red Bull are the exception, but I’d much rather see more manufacturers in it than privateers.

Yes, your spell check is broken. Also your slave and/or master cylinder is broken, very common.

F1 would happily survive without Ferrari, and it would be a quick way to save a bunch of cash too. Toto and Lewis are playing a bit of a political game of late with their pro-Fezza comments this weekend, and part of me wonders if they’re jumping ship next year...
