Ah. HIDs in ordinary halogen headlights are a major no-no for me... the glare for other drivers is horrific! They went through the MoT fine aligned slightly downward. But yes HIDs annoy me too but have become pretty much standard on half the cars on the road it seems.

Would love some but when they retail around the £400-£500 mark seems like a lot. I have HID on it at the moment so get plenty of light, but agree projectors look much better.

The weekly wash complete!

Saw one for the first time on Richmond high street yesterday, almost didnt notice it go by so it must have been the ecoboost it was almost silent. Sorry but its a no from me in terms of would I. As echoed above, my 4 year old has a fairly good Hot Wheels collection and it really did look like something out of that, it just didn't have presence or aggression in terms of styling and like Dan said when I walked past it again and had a closer look in traffic the panels were all over the place, really disappointing, and I do like an American muscle car

Yep definitely bottom of the pile in terms of purchase cost..! GTR R34 would be my pick of the bunch if you could get one..!

Buyers guide for the 645ci in Practical Performance Car this month wonder how much Dan would agree with it!

You could do a lot worse, £5k would get you a good example. Just ensure suspension work has been done and no rust (check behind any bodywork mods like lips and side skirts) and you are pretty much onto a solid car, prices are starting to creep up now as well.

Not sure what BHP they are running, mine is 280bhp at the moment pretty standard. I know a guy in Guildford who has helped me on a few things has his forged and is a touch under 400bhp and is road going. A guy on the forum who puts his on track only is running it at 531bhp. The JDMs out the factory are 256bhp...

Also did some work on the wiper blades today, they were showing their age... So a rub back to bare metal was required then some matt black paint and lacquer and back on...

Driving through a 30 the other night, cabbie in a prius ripped along in the bus lane up the inside at least 60 undertaking me, 10pm at night. Utter muppet.

You are kidding right, whats 0-60 time on a Leaf, 10 seconds?

The gap between the pre and post remap is whats important, Area Under The Line Max numbers are for quoting, day to day they mean very little.

So when do we think all the big flags and national coverage will properly start for the referendum, all pretty low key at the moment and its not that far off...

...more importantly though, could you vote for him

Must be hell driving one!

Wind farms do get repaired, they tend to break down only when they are supplied with duff parts otherwise are pretty robust. It seems a simple decision at the moment, there are people that really don't care how they get from A-B and grouped in with them are people that generally do not care for cars, they will want to go EV with a passion. Then there are people that enjoy the mechanical theatre of driving, so why would you want that taken away from you, you wont go EV. You will get people that are lucky enough to be able to afford both, but at the moment they are a tiny %. It seems to me that EV makers want to on the whole go down a route of creating cars like out of sci fi movies with everything digital in the cabin and no noise with futuristic swooshes on the bodywork. Personally, I don't like the look, sound or interior in that way hence the thumbs down on EV cars from me.

I guess it all depends on the strength of opinion in political parties and the public on leaving. A fair few countries in the EU like being in the EU, I know when I lived in France being able to travel freely by land without a passport across Europe and use the same currency and not invoke taxes crossing borders was an absolute godsend as I was travelling nearly every week, my team was spread across France, Germany, Belgium, Spain, Greece etc.

Trump will, if he got in, be shown up as pretty much the same as all that came before him. Most of the stuff he promises is so impossible to implement without international condemnation the soothsayers at the white house I am sure would never allow it. You can't just shout down people that offer a different view in international politics..!

Sounds like you have already decided on the R32..? It will certainly climb in value vs the Zed if thats something you feel is important. Zed is a heavier GT car, loads of power, lazy driving style with the gears. In terms of the Zed engine, they are good for many miles, they go pop if poorly maintained like any engine.

The EU will always be stronger with economies like ours, the UK is leading the EU out of a global recession in terms of growth. The EU could well lose out in terms of stability of the bloc and a number of other ways economics work - ultimately though it will have significant trading capability with the rest of the world including the states and China etc.

It will but until there is something on the table that resembles a strategy from us who knows what will happen. This is fundamentally an issue, the Stay campaign are literally saying it is what it is. The onus is on the Leave campaign to prove that they have a strategy I can trust and believe in to vote for, like a political manifesto, how can I possibly vote for something that has no basis or plan?

I think the Stay campaign would simply point towards the extra tariffs the UK will have to pay into Europe to trade which would easily cover it. However, they might not, but until we know what business model the Leave campaign want to adopt its hard to say.

Ultimately though, this type of thing is useless - particularly the $20 per day bit. Is that adjusted for Purchasing Power Parity? $20 in India is very different to $20 in the UK Aye fair point, it was a pretty basic video but I think highlights some important points. A third of the world sleeps without a roof over their heads for instance. I think we forget sometimes just how lucky we are in the UK financially...
