  1. Will, this was a random suggestion from my Mrs, it came as a complete surprise , had a play later in that holiday with a Maserati Quatra Porte, we both loved that, two very lovely V8's on some of the best Tyrolean roads Italy has to offer. South of France this year for us, but I'll be back to Italy next year
  2. I've been to Italy a few times on road trips, Garda and Como, Como for easier access to Stelvio, Garda, especially the northern 2/3rds is an epic piece of scenery. We've come in from France, Switzerland and Austria, the entry in from Austria through the Timmelsjoch pass is without doubt one of the most stunning passes I've ever motored over, takes you from the Austrian Tyrol to the Italian Tyrol. On my IPad so posting lots of pics in one go is challenging for my limited skills on this post, I'll edit as I upload some photos of what to expect. This is the old Austrian/Italian frontier and comes straight out the blue. Italy and the Italians are genuinely charming, not got a bad word to say about the place or people. I'd get on YouTube if I were you and search for motoring trips in northern Italy to give you a better idea. You'll need to translate this http://www.alpenpaesse.co/ITALIEN-Timmelsjoch_p325 You can expect to wander places like this: Bologna is a beautiful little city, very close to Modena and the Ferrari and Ducati factories, good base for Monza as well, hope you have a great time
  3. No silly, that only protects you from having your thoughts stolen by satellites. Durrr. Oh sh1t!
  4. Just put your tinfoil hat on, guaranteed survival.........
  5. Yup agreed! Ford...... GT
  6. Pirelli's are fine for dry grip, very good in fact, in the damp/wet, downright dangerous, I'm running 19's on Pirelli's, survived the winter Just my experience, I'll be changing to MPSS or MPS4S soonish.
  7. I would have just sent a 'Please confirm total shipping' message, before purchase.
  8. Best yet tonight, made all the better by virtually zero input by the Rory fella
  9. Forgot to add this will be fitted with a flat blade:
  10. For sale as the title says, 4 x 20mm Spacers, brand new, never been used. I bought these from America, American Muscle or RPI, I can't recall now. They will fit the 350/370, I needed a slightly bigger set for my Mustang (23 & 25mm), for a more suited stance. Top quality, unmarked and many folks are running them. Picture only shows 2 but trust me there are 4 £120 + P&P for all 4. Edit: Sorry for the second edit internal dial is 66.1, OD is 70.5, so all good I think
  11. Willis Jeep, defined what the land rover became, does that make it definitive? My head hurts reading the last 8 pages, however I am on the loo having a pooh, so it passed away the time
  12. Going here, we'll close by, driven and canoed this though
  13. Warwickshire, see loads of AM's being tested around Gaydon, then there's the motor museum?, Shakespear country for a bit of culture? Just as an aside, Wales is got to be closer than the Lake District from Essex? If you're still needing a 'gearbox' clearout, taking a Lambo on a cross channel ferry should sort you out
  14. Just flabbergasted, from a classic Camaro to a GT86 Oh well, if it makes sense to you, that's all that matters I suppose.
  15. No matter your politics, no matter your creed, no matter what you think is wrong with society; We will never, ever be defeated by acts of cowardly, criminal acts. We will prevail, we will stand up to any attack on our soil against our democracy. We will never, ever be intimidated by a low life criminal who, misguidedly, thought that he would make a difference, he will not turn me against my Muslim, Christian or Jewish democratic friends, he will not make me hate anyone, he will not encourage me to take revenge. I will still endeavour to make this country great, I will endeavour to make it the haven of peace that it is, I will endeavour to defend the very cornerstone of the mother of all democracies. ISIS, you can go to hell, petty criminals, that you prey on, will never, ever defeat me, or my fellow citizens, to create chaos or discord. As in the past, I will fight with the last breath in my body to keep us great, I will fight for the democratic right of self determination, I will fight for every one off you to be the free people that you are. God bless you all.
  16. The single most abhorrent EV, I've ever seen. As has been said, get beyond Buck Rogers and make them look 'normal', then the real main stream will take off.
  17. In the Himalayas a few years back, a colleague got altitude sickness. We were in the enviable position that we could call on a medievac by helicopter, the downside was that the helicopter had to go up, to get down, the said colleague died, it was damned if you did, damned if you didn't. Not a good end. In saying all that, the challenge, is where it's at, Kilimanjaro, if Cheryl Cole (or whatever her name is these days) can do it, it's not really a 'climb', but challenging nonetheless. Save your money and go on the Lions tour in 2022 to South Africa (my retirement present), that will truly be challenging
  18. Go on, have a big jobby, I hope you'll be fixed when the 'event' finally happens. Otherwise, you'll just get fat like me
  19. I had this system, eventually paired it with a set of Berk HFC's. There is a weak point on them, the frame that attaches from the exhaust, to the rubber mounts, two of mine cracked. I repaired them and made them stronger, due to this and the fact I was trading in my 370GT, I sold the system, Akrapovic Evolution with Carbon Ceramic Tails, for a fair bit less. My opinion is that it's a cracking system paired with HFC's, on its own, meh.... However, 18k+Miles, my opininion is, it's a tad overpriced. However, if you get the money asked, all good Oh I paid €1900 for it from Germany, delivered, new.
