  1. I v already booked the day....cant wait....need to break my top speed record on the long straight....125mph but with 2oC and damp ish tarmac....
  2. Another one from Hull??? Link to the thread with your picks? It happens to me often tbh....but never thought about it really....and i used to park in Athens a hatchback with no parking sensors... I turn the front wheels to the left when the rear ones seem they v touched the pavement....dont worry... they never do for some reason....
  3. Can u see now what smoking crack does to u??? or was it the amphetamines..... Never laughed that much in my life....
  4. Got EBC Turbo Groove discs all over with DC2500 pads.... feeling a bit numb when cold comparing to my x Brembo discs....and god they squeak... But on the track........
  5. I left home at 17 and never asked for anything.....although mama's cooking is the best in the world!!! Advice nixy... a baseball bat always does the trick....if you shout surprise before you use it, the whole thing will be regarded as a gift and not abuse..... As for the midnight noise......cheacky but try it.... tell him you heard them the other night and she is defo faking it..... then he will start using the pillow....
  6. +1 Keep the steering steady to the right....and lift gently off the throttle or dont lift all.... soon the rear wheels will hit the bit of ice and you will oversteer as well....and then may god be with you... or
  7. While the maser granturismo looks pretty much like it already!!!
  8. Nice to hear from you again Fletch.... I am more than happy to help as i had work done from you as well and i am very pleased with it.... although i wasnt happy you kicked me out to do the wheel alignment... All the best and you ll be the first one i ll pay a visit when i change the 350 for the 370....
  9. Hit one at Keldy forest a couple of months ago on the way back from a nice weekend.... Had a lovely Sunday stew with boiled rice..... Especially since da Z was unmarked....
  10. The whole car is better....first test drive i did was in a new early 07 with the 296 (or smth) engine....second in a used 52reg i think defo with the 276 (or smth) engine as the bloke said to me....both about the same...i would say the 276 was pulling a bit better mid range...and that was only just noticeable...apart from not much difference... Bought the 313 (or 309 in england) and yes pulls better throughout the rev range and you can tell...it handles a bit different..cant say better as i havent driven all of them on a track...but feels more solid and defo more comfortable in every day driving.... Saying that i have changed coilovers already so its not comfy any more... Steers and handles like a dream tho....
  11. Not really...just bought shares at my local tyre shop.....
  12. Why did you remove my name from the list??? Respect dude!!! Roadsters are not only cooler...they drift better too!!!
  13. Follow Steve's link...dunno if you v been there before...but the track is brilliant...rather technical with mainly one dodgy corner...you ll defo need a whole tank of petrol.... And the food is awesome!!!
  14. Already booked Cadwell Park on the 27th of March and i am on my way to Oulton park already!!!!! I need a reason to change tyres before Cadwell Park...can i have more drifting time if i pay more???
  15. Then i suspect he told you that they change their number plates frequently...
  16. So the conclusion is..... You never know!!! Good luck to all of us..... Black unmarked evo X on the M18 and and a white wrx sti on the M62....lots of little unmarked bangers in the Hull area as well although they are more likely to be after the stolen car in front of you....
  17. Kalos tone kai kali xronia!!!! Einai ki allos enas ellinas edw...alla menei ellada... kala na pairnas filaraki! English translation: Welcome (actually slang welcome = well well) and happy new year....there is one more greek here..but he lives in greece...enjoy yourself matey..
  18. Mine always tops up when cold... and when warm, it can top up at very hard engine load...didnt have any probs so far and the car did it from brand new.... the way to check the oil level is by letting the engine warm up properly. then turn the engine off and wait for about 5 mins. then it should be at about max. oil expands when hot but circulates as well when the engine is running. so u need to check the level after that difference occurs. had a word with Phil about that fully synthetic oil a couple of months ago and he was adamant that its superior to mama stuff...he was quite convincing...
  19. Mine is an 08 and was a bit stiff from 1st to 2nd and sometimes from 5th to 6th at first...when warm good when hot excellent.... however, after 12000miles all seem ok....even on icy mornings 2nd is as easy all others... i always let the engine run for more than a minute before setting off from cold tho... and if you guys here think your second gear is a bit notchy.... try a maserati gearbox... they say 0-60 4.9 secs... from that time 2 secs are only for changing to second gear.... and it doesnt get any better when warm... and its absolutely normal according to the factory....no way to fix it...
  20. Had brembo on mine...changed to EBC discs and ferrodo 2500 pads...much cheaper and dont fade on the track after 6 laps looool....brake feeling a bit different (inferior i wud say) but doesnt justify the difference in price...highly recommended!!!
  21. Averaged 8.5mpg on the track... Dont think i v ever done more than 250 to a full tank and i am using the expensive stuff now...
  22. Dont think we v got the roads in Greece for anything more than 400bhp on the rear wheels....went there last year in my maserati that had 390bhp and i could not drive without the ESP on...and temp was around 30 degrees (September) with no rain....I drove in Athens as well and never managed to accelerate hard on a traffic light.....
