  1. I could've kept up with it in the Zed to about 170, but it probably would've pulled away from there.
  2. Properly, insane fast. http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid2555027605001?bckey=AQ~~,AAAAAFwqu7c~,j110uIP_ymoUUq-0ppHWoApzLgpWMdYM&bctid=3248699189001
  3. They're clearly fine pieces of engineering, but I just can't really get excited about BMWs, M or otherwise. There's a fairly strong stench of the aspirational middle manager about them that turns me right off. Shame really (for me obvs, not anyone else) as I'm sure there's a good number of them that are very pleasant to drive and go like stink, with extremely happy owners. The 645s seem to be insanely good value at the minute. If I had a shot at an M3 or a Mustang or a Camaro or a Challenger, I'd sooner have any of the yank tanks, despite undoubtedly the BMW being better engineering. Must be one of those irrational things...
  4. You sound well pleased, I think they're great cars from my short time in one, though the pacific coast highway may have influenced me...
  5. Isn't the cosworth (I think I can safely say, well regarded) panel £30 or so from Clarks/Zman?
  6. Steering wheel. There should be three buttons on either side of the centre.
  7. Scooby or that Fiat Multipla you've always wanted? Going for the fiat 500 abarth, makes my vagina moist. I bet they're a ton of fun, hope it works for you mate.
  8. Sounds interesting Jay What colour you going? She looks pretty fine right now, love the purple.
  9. Scooby or that Fiat Multipla you've always wanted?
  10. I also don't mod Use a (free) photobucket account to post pics. Upload them then paste the image code into the body of your post. Good luck with the Zeditis.
  11. Wow, given the competition on here, that's extremely high praise indeed Thank you!
  12. I've got a cosworth panel filter, more worried about filtration than gains TBH, it's dry so it doesn't risk any oil sneaking out. So far it seems to work fine but I can't say if it makes any bhp.
  13. Been on family detail in the Lakes this weekend, couldn't resist an opportunity to revisit some of the places of my youth and snap The Shark. The scenery isn't too shabby if you liven it up with a clean(isn) Zed and a V6 roar. I remember when I just assumed everywhere looked like this! It'd be beautiful up there if it ever stopped raining, but I guess it's raining pretty much everywhere at the minute
  14. Bay is looking well mate. Do you mind if I ask where you got the carbon intake pipe? Looks sweet!
  15. Mine came off with some light hair dryer action and bit of dental floss. Left a bit of sticky behind but that came off with some elbow and APC. Looks bling the new badge BTW!
  16. Great Zed, second fastest colour too, GLWTS.
  17. Is the synchro rev a standard feature across all the range or an optional extra?
  18. Easily done, I might even have done this myself once...
  19. Don't put it up on here, PLEASE, I can feel my house deposit quivering... Edit: congrats, fire some pics up too!
  20. That thing is astonishing. It's so good to have the McLaren guy there telling you all about the engineering too, not just the usual Clarkson gibberish about speed, but also how they think through making something like that. I could watch detailed technical videos of the design and fabrication process for hours. Favourite bit is where he asks if he is aloud to spank it on the track and he just matter of factly says, yeah, do what you like, that's what we built it for.
  21. Get a scooby, cheap as, fast, 4WD and if you fear deep water, fit a snorkel and possibly a periscope. I've have a mate who's into that point to point, 4x4 off road, winching stuff. He has a Pajero and treats it like the prevebial, but it just keeps on trucking, I bet it's not so quick mind.
  22. Much more convenient than a rechargeable, cloth bag of silica gel :lol:
  23. Isn't that a little hasty? Perhaps a trip to a specialist on the back of a trailer before breaking up a modern classic?
  24. I know the ones you mean but aren't they a bit small (sauce sachet sized)? I've got one under my seat in the 350 (away from dangling cables) but I think it's 500g or a kilo. Works like a charm if you remember to 'recharge' it every now and again.
