Just for a bit of Devil's Advocate... What if that police officer that stopped Rebecca had the day previous been called to attend an RTC where there was a fatality, and the incident had been caused by someone texting on their mobile phone at the time? That would clearly effect the person in a way that may mean they give out severe b*llockings for that crime and just accept that they'd rather been seen to be on a power trip but make a difference and save a life. Or perhaps the last time they spoke to someone about using a mobile phone in a jam that person turned very nasty and tried to assault the BiB? Again, you wouldn't want to make that mistake twice.

No, it should've been registered to your address. How did you get the V5 anyway, given it doesn't have your address on? Did you not realise then that it needed changing?

Wouldn't want to be bitten by one of those, they'll take your hand off!

I'm not sure what you're asking, really. If you can't afford or don't like the deal then don't go through with it, although if it were me and someone would actually take a cat c Hyundai coupe auto off my hands at all I'd be grateful, even better if it's the guy I want to buy a car off.

Who?

I'm going with belts.

So how do you get your tax reminder? Or any NIPs? Does it need to be your home address? No, I guess not as if you were a student then it would be perfectly acceptable to have any relevant mail delivered to your parent's house still, but clearly having it in the name of some random business you just happened to buy a car off isn't an acceptable situation. Tbh I';d be glad that they caught the mistake before something happened that means I missed an important piece of mail: See my first line for details. Let me re-phrase the question for you: Why do you think it's perfectly okay to have the registered keeper's address nowhere near where the registered keeper lives, or has regular contact with?

Best setup for what? Go or show? Budget? Style? With or without tyres?

Always 18's IMHO, but Lexx is spot-on for the reasons why.

Read the blurb that goes with it on PH, it gives a good indication as to the mental nature of different types of bikers. He's definitely in the third category!

I've added both your names to the list, not really sure when that means you'll get hold of him but I'm sure he'll still have fun

Motorway? DC? Long empty stretch of well-sighted road? There must be loads of places in WY to do that, just get out of the cities.

It's not an alignment you need as such, it's an adjustment of the camber to make the wheel stand up straight. At the moment you've got negative camber which is great for the handling but will naturally wear more on the insides. That's how I have my cars set up along with a little toe out, but it's very much each to their own. That does look like very excessive wear though, even though it very well might be within the OEM approved limits of adjustment.

The reason that the police seem to have an attitude when you first meet them is that they have to convey a level of authority very quickly, and make it very clear that they are in charge. Same thing with teaching kids, if you start off being soft and polite then it's impossible to get the command level of respect back later on. A BiB can always soften the tone once they realise you're not a complete idiot, but they have to assume that everyone they speak to is else they'd never get anywhere. I've only ever met one police officer that I thought was a complete *****, and even then I considered him to be a ***** who just happened to wear a uniform.

Wavs? What is this, the mid-90s again?!

Does the iTunes version have more tracks on it than the buy-in-the-shop CD? I prefer to buy from iTunes for that reason, since I don't use CDs any more I'd rather have the extra tracks.

Not for me it's not, still free PH for fun cars AT for normal stuff eBay if I'm desperate

Very subtle

An alignment should really be one of those things that people get done on a yearly basis at least, if not every six months. I've got a specific set of figures I use for my alignments so I can get some particular handling characteristics out of the car, rather than just getting all the little markers in the green. Once you know how camber/toe/caster/thrust etc all work in relation to how the car feels on the road, you can absolutely transform a car with the right settings. I've had cars go from normal motorway plodders to nimble darty sportscars just by adjusting the suspension fractions of a millimetre.

You'd be best off on an open pit lane day where you can come and go as you please, and if you're that concerned about tyre wear either stick a new set on before you go or pick a 'proper' track as opposed to an airfield. If you go open pit then if you notice excessive tyre wear then you can back it off a touch without feeling like you're losing out too much. In all honesty though if it's your first track day and you're not going to spend all your time sideways then tyre wear will be almost unnoticeable across the tread, it'll be the shoulders you'll notice it but that can be minimised by keeping an eye on your pressures.

The V5 must be registered to the registered keepers name and address, otherwise you'd never get your tax reminder. Common sense surely dictates that much? Also refusing to go into the BiB car is just going to cause you to instantly fail the attitude test and isn't worth the bother. Even if there is only one of them they can make up any old story that they want, why would it be any different if it was two? It's actually more awkward with two of you as one would be relying on the other one to back him up and not drop him in it They should have no problem with you recording everything. If I were genuinely in the right then I'd ask them to write everything down on their notepad and we'd both sign it, if I didn't have a recording device on me. Again though, we're back to failing the attitude test in a big way. £30 is peanuts, consider it a lesson learnt to always have your paperwork in order.

They are stunning. Well, apart from the Zed logo which I hate, but the pattern and the colours are absolutely bang-on. Good choice sir

What do you want? f you want a roadster then don't settle for a coupe as you'll be tearing your hair out on those lovely summer days, but likewise if you're not bothered about dropping the roof then the coupe is the easy way to save a bit of cash. If the experience of driving a Zed is the most important thing, then get the convertible. I did. If the performance of driving a Zed is the most important thing, then get the coupe. It's a far tighter drive.

Except for today where the FI of Hulkenberg was top, you mean? Testing times mean absolutely squat, and it certainly seems this year that we have no idea how quick any of these cars are in relation to each other. Bring on the Aussie grand prix I say!

PSML Post of the year, right there.
