  1. But everyone has their own recharge point at home so surely that then starts to stack up? I decided I couldn't afford the Tesla anyway, I'll keep dreaming.
  2. http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=247&t=1394872 I've not read every reference in it, just fyi.
  3. Currently remortgaging for new set of tyres and coil packs, not on the road yet!!
  4. A friend of mine who works in the financial sector once worked out how much tax he actually paid , as a 40% payer with NI and adding up council tax, vat , car tax , fuel duty etc etc etc he reckoned it was 70-75% of his earnings went in tax , people have started revolutions for less ! Lets all rise up now and take the power back!! or just do nothing.
  5. As Dan said it is all our fault we dont band together as a nation or a global community so the governments and corporations are @rse raping us left right and centre. I blame the aliens partly, first they gave us cognitive abilities and then they just sat back and watched us play a big game.
  6. You'd need to run fast!!
  7. Written down value or p11d value now?
  8. That'd cost me a grand in tax next year, not too bad!!
  9. Seen a few floating around on here, just wondered if anyone has test driven any, recommend any? Thinking about company car as quite low benefit in kind atm, although they're quite pricey from new!
  10. pics or it didnt happen
  11. A plan has good review on gtr.co.uk. might try them next year. I think they have a good claims handing team, not that I ever want to use it!!
  12. [quote name='LRF4N' timestamp='1455324910' post='1585974'] Benchmark are poirots coilpacks. Or is parrot someone else lol [/quote] No, was having a giggle. So he sells coil packs on ebay for £118 but on the forum for £160, I think he has it the wrong way round!!

    XL tyre rating

    [quote name='brillomaster' timestamp='1455705805' post='1587417'] XL rated tyres have stiffer sidewalls, so will slightly increase steering precision and turn in, at the expense of ride comfort. I preferred my zed with XL tyres, non XL tyres felt a bit wobbly when cornering. [/quote] Thank you! Skyline is quite a hard ride anyway, cant get any worse You got a new track car yet?

    XL tyre rating

    Looking at tyres for the skyline but also pricing up for the zed. Will the XL rating affect the handling of the car? There's very few tyres I'm looking at that dont have the XL rating. Local tyre chap said that extra load rating is meant for people carriers etc that will have an increase in load. Neither the skyline or the zed need that. Thanks as every, Craig
  17. [quote name='Richf@H-Dev' timestamp='1455702213' post='1587393'] They used to say on the Skyline forum "If you can't afford a good one, you certainly can't afford a bad one" , a good rule to live by. [/quote] What about a half good one?

    Scirocco R

    They're ok, I've got a 2009 2ltr petrol, nippy and probably would give the zed a good run for it's money but the handling is a bit meh tbh, not sure if the R has a better set up?
  19. Keep that to the S&M thread mate Metallica S&M album, one of my all time favourites!!
