  1. All U.K cars have them . Not too sure about JDM cars, some definitely don't have them. Pete
  2. Welcome along It's not too bad in in the summer. I read here that its something to do with condensation. Pete
  3. Definitely Vettel's fault, when he's seen the replays he might change his mind. Pete
  4. This is going to cause more problems as I see it. Relaxation isn't abandonment, how will owners know if their plate is now legal, how will The Police know? Will everyone have to have clearance from The DVLA for how they space their plate and where they put their screws and carry a certificate around with them . Pete
  5. I'm not going to watch the video, I find things like this too disgusting and it winds me up like nothing else. Pete
  6. The U.K's limit on drink driving is the joint highest of any country in the world. Even countries like Nigeria, Russia, Columbia and China have lower limits or Zero Tolerance and our limits have remained unchanged since they were introduced over 40 years ago. I don't understand how successive governments have failed to reduce the limits, do they think its a vote loser or something Pete
  7. So much for the police stamping down on anti-social behaviour If it was me I'd have a word with the press and my MP. Pete
  8. Spotted a couple of those pics, mystified by the other two though Pete
  9. A whole week to wait, how frustrating . Don't know the car though, post up some pics when you get it and someone might recognize it. Pete
  10. Darn it, Raikkonen has been handed a 5 place grid penalty, gearbox had to be changed. Hamilton looks very strong though Pete
  11. +1. However, the rest of the world is not as tax friendly as it once was. http://www.businesspundit.com/12-countr ... tax-rates/ Pete
  12. Welcome to the forum Yes, standard from April 2006 Pete
  13. 180 years of experience there Pete
  14. Welcome along Annie Pete
  15. Which 3 buttons? The early roadsters didnt have the remote stereo controls on the steering wheels - they just had the cruise control buttons if they were the GT pack. But, the later ones, like mine have both the cruise control buttons (2 buttons and a toggle switch), plus the remote stereo controls (4 buttons). They dont have the bluetooth phone buttons however... The buttons on my 55 reg GT and Caroline's 08 GT Roadster have quite different functions...I've just been out and had a look, never realized that before, probably because I never use them . Here's an earlier GT roadster with 3 buttons, I didn't know that the non GT roadsters were button free, always thought they were imports Pete
  16. Yes, why not Pete
  17. Yeah, I've seen Squee about a couple of times in the Chester area...when I've been out in The Clio. Pete
  18. Lousy paint match between the bonnet and the bumper and in desperate need of spacers. 5/10 for effort. Quite local to me but I've never seen it before. Pete
  19. You would need to lift the bonnet on that one, I'm pretty sure that the only exterior difference is the bulge bonnet on the 313's. Rays were fitted as standard to The GT facelifts, they may have been fitted to the last of the pre facelifts GT's too as mine had them fitted and I wasn't invoiced for them, it could be that the dealer simply made a mistake though I think you've covered nearly all the differences. The only ones I can think of are the different surround for the SatNav and on the roadster models there were only 3 buttons on the steering wheel even for the GT models. In theory it would be possible to completely update the exterior of the pre facelifts but you're probably looking at a couple of grand at least, cost me £800 just to add the rear led's and bulge bonnet. Pete
  20. Very nice , like the wheels too Pete
  21. +1 Pete
  22. JetSet

    Downforce

    Yep, Garden Grove, California Pete
  23. Yes, you've obviously used the same calculator as me Fronts aren't too bad but the rears are a bit too far out. The closest I could come up with for the rears would be 265/35/19. In an ideal world the sizes for 19" wheels on the Zed should be 245/35/19 and 275/35/19. As KyleR has said above, traction control could be a problem If the battery was flat then it'll need a new one before too long, it's a big engine to turn over and they never hold the charge properly again, might last the summer but that's about it. Pete
  24. Well, you have to pay enter Wales on one of The Severn Bridges, a Whopping £6 these days, but it's free when you cross over into England . This government and the previous one as well don't really have any long term plans for transport other than HSR2. They have made some very good long term plans for supplying energy when fossil fuel runs out but there seems to be no master plan for the future of road transport. If using hard shoulders and having private toll roads is all they can come up with but they can find billions to finance HSR2 then you could start thinking that they don't think its worth improving the roads any further. I'm not blaming this particular government, the last few governments have all made excuses not to spend money on roads. If you look at France, they had a long term plan and now have not only a superb motorway system but an integrated high speed rail network. Pete
