One thing we can all agree on is that the Megadrive was better than the SNES.

Not here It would be here if I had any say in the matter, but it's got a hell of an immobiliser on it at the moment.

Or, and I'm just playing devil's advocate here, you'll continue to justify your choices in the same way the anti-Applists will justify theirs. You'll never agree, you'll never convince each other that the other is wrong (regardless of fact/fiction/comment or even subjective opinion), the staunch Applists will continue to buy Apply products, the staunch anti-Applists will continue not to buy Apple products and the tedious bickering will go on, and on. And on, and on. And on.

Not seen any today, but yesterday there was at least one "live report" from the outside overlooking the track, through the fence, where specifically "The Stig and Jeremy Clarkson would normally be recording on a Wednesday" (according to the report) . There was no one in sight (barring the reporter of course).

I took a manual one for a test drive once. My only conclusion was that the salesman was a knob. That doesn't help, does it?

I do like that.

Yes, yes I am.

Or just suspended for 11 months... just enough time for the BBC to make the next series of Top Gear complete with three "previously unseen bonus episodes".

In a farmers barn. It was covered in dust, chicken excrement, mould and general filth with weeds up growing through the engine bay but it only had 268 miles on the odometer so I paid a millionty pounds for it. It was a right bargain!

The fronts are only flattered by the shadow too. It seems Frost Onyx is no match for the Yorkshire moors.

I think it's a combination of all of those, along with the added "herd mentality" aspect. As soon as something is posted on Facebook, it instantly becomes internet fact and there's a certain element of those who just want to "belong". You see it on here from certain people who post stuff up just because the internet said so, without taking the time to find out the actual facts behind it. You even see it on here where Facebook conversations are posted up and presented as fact.

Oh yes I forgot to mention; regarding my disappointment in diluted Hydro Coat above, it occurred to me at some point that the Hydro Coat I used that I had mixed up a month ago. I've not found (or got round to asking Car Chem for) any details of how long it can be stored when it's mixed, but I do know the similar HydrO2 loses potency when it's stored pre-mixed after as little as a few days, certainly weeks. Ergo, I will re-try with freshly mixed at the suggested dilution before I start playing with the ratios as previously pondered.

details please ! Details? Pah, who needs details!! Rumour has it andybp punched someone; sack him, wind up any business he's involved, refuse to fund that business in any way, etc, etc.

It was so beautifully clean when it left the drive this morning.

I'm looking forward to a day when I can drive more than 5 yards without having to wash all that b*****d salt off the car!

And favoured, by Clarkson, over the planet killing fossil fuel drinking variant at that.

You're assuming he punched a work colleague though....

Great work, excellent results there.

He does deserve the drive, but Bernie/the FIA won't allow it to happen. They'll want to keep the money... sorry, team happy and won't give a stuff about the driver sadly. Sauber's excuses, as nonsensical as they are, will be nothing compared to the official "reason" he doesn't race. (Probably ).

Kwikfit will do it for you...

*awaits the FIA ruling him unfit to compete should the appeal fail*

Top Gear? Surely not!

Deep pile is probably best to be honest.

Seeing as you've already ordered Dressle, I won't go suggesting other products now. Luckily Dressle is quite good; use it sparingly on gloss trim though to avoid streaks and use a decent microfibre cloth, that should reduce the duct collection for a bit. There's no way to get rid of it entirely though short of turning the inside of your car into a clean room. Live with it or wipe it down regularly are your only practical choices.

I currently have that very combination. Very good for road use I find but I've not been on track with it.
