Driving standards here are way better than some countries I've visited. I have also noticed highway management due to the demands of increased traffic volume has led to the need to change certain junctions etc. This also adds to the mix of incompetence on our roads. Take a roundabout for example, navigating a roundabout was once a simple affair. You would approach on a 6 o clock basis, a turn past your 12 o clock would be classed as a right turn and indication to follow suit, then a quick indication to the left just before your exit whilst checking the nearside mirror etc. Due to increased traffic volume highways have been painting lanes on the roundabout and in some cases will mark the nearside lane as a right turn also. This confuses people who can't or won't read the signage or lane markings correctly. Also the very same people who are bereft of common sense then think it's ok to use the nearside lane to turn right on a normal unmarked roundabout. These types rarely indicate and if they do its for the exit they want rather than letting waiting vehicles know they are circumnavigating a right turn. The same applies for the knob heads who use a right lane to go straight on or before 12 when the exit is single carriageway not dual.

The propaganda wheel keeps on turning as usual. It gets boring after 40 plus years on this corrupted planet. I don't believe much these days when it comes to the posturing poncy political class and mega businesses. Until a bomb lands on my street I couldn't care less if the ruskies want to do the British coastline tour.

A Rolls Royce merlin is awesome plus any mercedes with a similar sound.

I really like the look of the two pics so far.

My DE hasn't used a drop in four months. I check it once a week.

I've just had a posting on fb stating Mr Brewer and China are doing a 240 soon. Should be an interesting watch.

I went for a late DE as I wanted to free some cash for mods. I came from an M3 which was all top end regarding power and needed to be worked hard. Ironically the Z feels quicker but I've put this down to the lower driving position and low down torque. All the Z has cost me so far is two compression arms (banana bars) and my mods. Otherwise it's been a dream financially compared to the hopeless BMW.I have never felt the need to take it to the limiter either as it's quick enough for everyday driving.

I had 500 miles appear on my old racing puma after a visit to the body shop for a respray lol. I didn't say anything though as I got a very good deal and a superb paint job.

That's a very nice car well done mate.

One of my clients has an i3 which has a dash that resembles a sideboard my nan owned and what looked like hessian seats The i8 looked really good in the flesh, I really liked it.

He came off the M3 at junction 4 this afternoon and headed towards Cove.It was predominantly black with blue inserts.

I saw my first BMW i8 today and followed it for a couple of miles. Has anyone here driven one of these? I thought it looked bloody good in the flesh. The styling is fresh and you can clearly see a lot of effort had gone into managing the air around the car.

If its the same engine as the 520d of the same era avoid. My timing chain tensioner failed at 21k. The whole engine required removal to sort it and it took a month for the parts to arrive to fix it. Luck of the draw I guess. I hear the three litre diesel is the one to go for.

He went towards Thatcham on the A4

Basingstoke mate.

There's that old man image right there aye Ekona "cruisers" indeed. What a waste of an engine and indeed a shame.

I wouldn't mind one of these but I frigging hate paddle shift motors. Why oh why can't they do a manual stick and clutch on an AMG. Annoys the hell out of me as I love the car otherwise.

Just bearing chatter by the sounds of it,mine does it. My M3 did it too.Certainly nothing to worry about at the moment loads of rear drivers do it. Should disappear if you rev it and the shaft takes up the slack.

That's a nice looking car very nice.

Same colour as my old old 950 popular

I had a Mk1 RS and I like the Mk2 but I'm not to keen on this new 4 door only version. Little tip Mr Ford use the three door fiesta platform,wide body it and put a modified 1.6 turbo lump in it. RS Fiesta would sell well IMO.

I've spent so much time wasting my life away in courtrooms through work and the tedium is palpable. When I was summoned I refused due to childcare commitments and I've never heard back since.

Chap probably works in the drinks depot or the packaging place as that's the direction he came from. Looked lovely.

When I first bought our 50 the furniture in the front room needed rearranging so we didn't have to physically turn our heads to watch anything. If I bought anything bigger we would need to sit in the garden and watch through the patio doors

Bugger missed all the action as usual 😊
