Stutopia

Being in between house moves has really put the brakes on the mods, I've got a replacement high level brake light (which replaces the monstrosity that blocks most of the view out the back) but it requires access to tools to get it fitted, which is impossible right now. Likewise for some cam solenoid covers. This means I'm restricted to browsing goodies, rather than fitting them. Unless, of course, they are a doddle to fit! Yes it's ricetastic but it's better than the yellow. Next up is probably wheels, Enkei RPF01s or Volk TE37s, obviously in gold/bronze. Decisions, decisions, decisions.

Can’t help on 70 oil but along.

Speaking of their attempts to engage a wider audience, I heard Toto Wolf mention the idea of a breakaway series. This is mainly because Ferrari are having a strop about changing the distribution of prize money, so that non-works teams can at least have a stab at winning. I heard him repeat the oft floated (usually by someone Italian) "Formula 1 needs Ferrari much more than Ferrari needs F1" statement. For me this is rubbish, I watch to see the technical pinnacle of motor racing and don't give two hoots if Ferrari play or not. I'd much rather see Williams or Haas be more competitive than bask in the perceived glory of Ferrari allowing everyone else to play with them. What do you reckon?

That’s gorgeous, great choice, I want one soooooooo much.

I love a clean engine bay. Niiiiiiice!

Looks gorgeous with that diffuser on there.

Anyone just sat through "The F1 Show: Australia" on Sky? I don't know if this a new banterrific direction for the kids, but I've only just managed to uncringe.

Ah, fair enough. If anyone’s objection to this on technical grounds such as ‘was it legal’ or ‘an act of war’ etc, I can see why it’s causing a stir. From a purely moral stance I find it hard to get excited about one way of (or location of) killing someone over another. You’d have to be some kind of crazed patriotic loon to believe that we don’t have state forces operating abroad doing the same thing but without the press coverage.

But isn't 'abroad' someone else's sovereign soil?

Is there any difference between the Ruskies nerving one of their nationals in the UK and us drone striking one of our nationals out in the desert?

I think we all know the perils of these international commies; disrupting the Catalan/Spain relationship, electing Trump, causing Brexit, they shot JFK, turned Pepsi into Coke, disappeared Jimmy Hoffa, created Jeremy Corbyn, made Syria great again, inflated London house prices and invented the EV. That’s just the stuff we know about. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they weren’t responsible for Harry choosing to marry outside his socio-ethnic group too.

Wow, what an epic place to thrash your Z. Great choice!!!

If the scratches are deep and need paint, I’d pursue him for the repair. If they will buff out, I’d keep this in your pocket and you’ve got him right where you want him.

When you get that feeling! congratz

Play nice in here. I’m not going to pretend I’m about to lock this thread, because if we can’t have at least one thread in the whole forum for EV chat (in the “Other cars”) then it’s a pathetic state of affairs. The clues are in the forum sub name and the thread titles. If you can’t handle hearing either pro or anti EV chat this probably isn’t the place for you. Trolling isn’t tolerated and neither is losing your rag with Trolls.

Use the force Chris.

You tried Zmanalex?

Getting there man, looking forward to the start up video.

Please be mindful how videos you post up reflect on the club and fellow owners.

One of the few mod regrets I had on the selling the Zed was that I never did this, it looks superb. Nice job.

These guys appear to do some nice suits (including bespoke if you want that) off the rack, but tailored to fit. https://www.masonandsons.com/ Well priced too (for the quality). None of it’s “cool”, but it’s what I’d call classic, some would call old fashioned. I found the site by accident looking for the leather gloves Daniel Craig had in one of the modern Bonds. It used to be Anthony Sinclair, who did Sean’s suits and I always think that if they were good enough for Sean, then it’ll do for me! I’ll defo be trying them for my next suit.

I checked out some SAABs after reading this, there was one manual on AT. You’re dead right about the interior, after I looked at the Evos, it made the SAAB look like an Maserati inside

Nice one, list updated. It’s a cracking day, you’ll love it.
