The Bounty Bar Kid

So an update on what's been going on. In April I suddenly thought why am I tip toeing around him. He still isn't working so I'm going to start my car, let the revs go down after 30 seconds and then drive off. Then in May on a lovely Saturday morning, I was washing my car. I started the pressure washer at 8.36am (looked back at my CCTV). At about 9.30am he came outside and started saying to me that do I not think it's too early to wash my car and that every day I make noise. (I was leaving for work at 8.30am). I said to him that I'd spoken to all the other neighbours and they were fine as they're all awake by that time. I then said to him that I'm tired of tip toeing around him and that's when he accused me of being selfish and narcissistic. He said next time he'll knock me out! 🤣 For the last few years, I've organised a street BBQ and this year he said he couldn't come. I noticed that he left his house about 10mins before it started, probably to go walk to his sister's house, and then returned about 20mins after the BBQ ended, obviously checking his CCTV 🤣. Just avoiding me at all costs. Anyways it's now September and he's probably only worked about 4 weeks in total. I think the last time he did was in June. I'm not going to do anything different as it's just him that seems to be affected. All that chat about when I'll be flying late afternoon I have to regulate my sleep bull. Really looking forward to next week where I'll be leaving home at 7am not 8.30am as I've got to travel for training. Let's see what happens after that. I'm expecting him to come out moaning again.

Snap 🥳

Just read this: https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/entertainment/top-gear-dismantled-flintoff-crash-newsupdate/ Looks like they might permanently cancel it, shame. I know it's not as good as it used to be but it was motoring news.

Just to give some context - on some pirelli tyres, I could go round a particular corner near me at 50mph. But with Goodyear eagle f1s I could do 70mph. Gave me so much more confidence, grip and twitched less. Felt planted. Tyre cost difference at the time was £20 a corner, so I'd say same price category.

My opinion would be anyone who is confident in pushing their car to it's limits. I know I've tried different tyres before and the difference is night and day with some.

Gold standard is the Michelin pilot sport 5s. That's what you asked for. Money no object best you can get. Then start reading about what others have suggested for value etc.

Oh, I could have come along then. Dang it. Had my dad's car today too.

Very nice!

Ignore this.

Today is Swedish cars

I'll definitely be in the cinema to watch that with my box of tissues 😍

London is a great place to live if you have 2 of the following 3: lots of money to be able to afford to live in zone 1/2, don't drive and don't have kids. I've always lived on the outskirts or just outside London. Cleaner air, less crime and still easy to commute to anywhere. 5 mins drive to the train station and then it's a 20mins train to London Bridge or 25mins to London Victoria. I can also drive to the M25 in 5mins or Brighton in 35mins.

So I've just watched this. Enjoyed it. Not great though. Most interesting bit was learning about how they made the game. When it comes out on Sky Cinema, I won't rush to watch it again but I'll watch it again if I'm bored.

I once flashed a police car and got done for indecent exposure 🤷🏽‍♂️

Well if they're car guys hopefully they would check or maybe have read about it beforehand.

Somehow I don't think that matters as all 350z and 370z cars are ulez compliant.

Annoyingly my local cinema is only showing it in screen X and 4dx. I'd rather just watch it in a normal screen or IMAX tbh. No gimmicks, just pure picture and sound.

Bumper stops?

Hope the royal mail guy is okay and pulls through. I don't really care about those in the lambo.

Tomorrow's event is west Vs east. American Vs Japanese

Bloody German car, yet again I don't fit in either 🤷🏽‍♂️

Looking forward as always to the updates.

Cheers for that. Only 64 miles to Folkstone for me. So one full tank there and another back plus what I use. Not bad indeed. Definitely food for thought. Would only need a hotel day before and day of track day.
