  1. No, I think that's acceptable at this point.

    You're right though, I should've!
  3. Well, it might be the right smiley once we see the pics...
  4. It's about the cost of a pint of lager in a posh drinkery per week difference. That's peanuts in terms of running a Zed, so just buy the one you want.
  5. 3 months is the rule here. You've got loads of comeback under SOGA, don't worry.

    But you bought a Gallardo, when you should've had the Murci I know exactly what you mean though, I'm the same. I'm starting to look at things differently now though, my next car certainly won't be as quick as what I've got now!
  7. I'm sure I recognise some of those roads from when I did my LEJOG trip last year! Best roads in the world, no doubt.
  8. Assuming you get a full day's tuition included, then £350 incl an open pit day isn't too bad. I think I'd be tempted to look for another (cheaper) day where you can rock up to open pit, but pay an extra £20 or so for 30 mins instruction, which would be more than enough to get you started. You can then use the rest of the day as you see fit, and if you need some more lessons then you can always pay for another 30 mins. Bookatrack are ace at this kind of stuff, worth seeking out one of their days if MSV don't do that kind of thing. That said, I will reiterate that £350 for a full day with tuition is really good value, and will definitely be worth it.
  9. Can I stop over then when I do a track day there then? MSV are a very good TDO, so no fear about them running anything dodgy or unsafe. Don't worry about being slow, I can promise you that by the end of the day you'll be far from the slowest car on track, good tuition is worth seconds. A challenging track is more fun than an easy one, and if you drive within your limits you'll be fine. Go do it, and enjoy yourself
  10. Might as well stick to the list I reckon, unless there's something super-amazing going on. Happy to go with the majority, though Mileage is a great idea, fairly easy to work out too
  11. Top two are M3s, surely? And modded ones at that. I can see where Sarnie is coming from here, there's nothing particularly flash about the E90/92 body, but that's the charm of it in one way.
  12. Great write-up, very fair and balanced
  13. Yes but will they pay out when it comes to yours? The views of 319 people: http://www.reviewcentre.com/reviews11381.html They'll definitely not pay out if I have an accident, as I'm not insured with them Switched to Sky this year as I preferred a tailored policy to a generic one, even if it cost me a bit more. I don't trust a single one of those review sites, regardless of whether it's for insurance, household appliances, or Metacritic for games. People only go there with a specific purpose which is to complain, so they only ever give the bad side. No-one wakes up in the morning and thinks, "Wow, I had great service! I'm going to go find a review site and tell the world!". I'll ask on forums and get genuine replies, rather than people with the hump and an axe to grind.
  14. And yet, AdmiEleBell are still miles cheaper than any of the other insurance companies. Given the size of the business and the risk they have to take with regards to claims, I don't think £300M is excessive really.
  15. If it ever happens, I'll send you the video mate.
  16. LIAR Even my missus would. And I'd pay to watch that, too.
  17. Yes there is, unless you've managed to completely destroy the laws of physics. If so, top job!
  18. Red or yellow. Definitely not a purple or pink, and you don't want to be mixing shades of the same colour on a car. Azure blue ones would look pretty tasty though, and quite subtle.
  19. Drop the stubby and the spacers, spend more on the discs and get some braided hoses.
  20. What happens if you go 4 -> 5 -> 6 rather than block changing? If it's okay doing it that way, then you know what my suggestion is going to be... FWIW my old car used to make odd noises when block changing too, so I just stopped doing it.
