  1. Seems pretty clear he was going to tuck in behind you but as he came across, you slowed down due to the person in front, causing him to hit you. But insurers love a roundabout accident as they often go for 50/50 meaning they can blame you both, take both your no claim bonus and put up both premiums next year. If this happens, fight it.
  2. Nice but completely unnecessary and no doubt stupidly expensive to fix on the day it gets stuck down in the rain. Why not just unclip the targa top and lob it in the boot, saving a load of weight and expense

    Intake...

    Will probably sound a bit nicer but will suck up lots of hot air from the engine. Will lose power once engine is up to temp
  4. I think the standard 350 is looking old now but if you have a one in a decent colour with a nismo kit, then it will still look fresh. I do prefer the 370 looks though
  5. I really don't think I'm wrong. I've read a lot about clay and at the meguiars day I asked and their rep confirmed that their clay comes from exactly the same place as their competitors
  6. Don't believe the BS about one clay being better than others. All clay comes from the same factory, snotty companies then mark it up more than others but essentially its no better than cheap ebay stuff
  7. Welcome I think you'll find the zed big, heavy and slow compared to your focus so be prepared to go back to FI with it when you get bored. start test driving now before flogging the Focus
  8. Very nice but It's crying out for white front reflectors - like I put on mine.
  9. Blacky hasn't been active on here since 2013.
  10. Is there evidence that this makes any gains? I've seen trumpets on throttles bodies and they look like this so I assume its of benefit but i'd be interested to see real world figures on a dyno - out of interest
  11. It's many many hundreds. Samsung being the bright sparks they are glue the back panel on to toughen the phone up, they also bond the screen display to the gorilla glass making separating the two basically impossible. Replacing a cracked screen means lots of new parts. The headline on the SlashGear website was 'seriously, don't break your S7 Edge!' That was alI I needed to see to make my mind up about the phone
  12. The edge looks good, but if you ever crack the screen, which is likely with no edge protection, the cost of replacement is extortionate
  13. I did it but I agree with a previous comment, its a big business these days charging far too much money. There are better events these days for less money, and frankly it wasn't as tough as I had imagined.
  14. I have an HTC10. All shops said it is better than Samsung equivalent. I do like it however I find it a bit buggy compared to my last HTC, like they rushed it to get it out - much like most iPhone releases
  15. Wild bore or caramelised onion for me please
  16. This one needs a roof too you need to factor that in. I also agree the bumpers are awful (as are the wheels) but each to their own. Good luck with your search
  17. Hi mate. I have a mid section and back box from my old HR. Car only did 18,000 miles before it was removed, however it is still from a 2007 car so has seen wet weather. I know one or two of the bolts joining the sections had rusted and snapped when it was removed so I guess these will need hammering or drilling out but I can sell it to you if you're interested. Let me know and i'll drag it out the garage for some photos if you want it. I'm in Cheshunt, Herts
  18. I've always found them decent and the Sample Size section can be a good way of trying something new.
  19. Why is that odd? These cars should be serviced every year so its pretty good if you ask me.
  20. Good colour combo. I still think night blue is the best colour on a zed
  21. I've heard of people using these and failing MOTs. The cheapies are not great. I bought a cheap Toyosport mid-pipe and back box for my Zed and was happy with the price. However I spent more in the garage having it heated up and bent about to make it fit right than I did on the pipe. Fitment was very poor, however the sound it made wasn't too bad, very raspy but I quite liked it. Personally, with experience I'd say pay for the better ones. I had Berks HFC on mine and they fitted a treat and went through the MOT fine
  22. Nothing to do with hitting a panic button at all. When I bought the Zed I had a two year old daughter and it was my third car. I bought it as a toy knowing I would rarely use it but hoped I would find a little time for it. That simply didn't happen so a month before it needed tax and insurance I made the call whether to pay those two bills again or move it on and spend the money elsewhere. If I could find something almost as much fun as the Zed but capable of shifting family around every now, including the new baby, then I would use it loads more. I'm now rethinking what to buy and have gone against my initial feeling and am thinking about an evo. Probably won't happen but I'm getting bored of looking at dull German cars

    That thing has (unfortunately) been around for quite a while. Not sure why anyone would do that!
