    And the clutch grabs, the clutch is heavy even though it's hydraulic. The vibrations from the V twin are horrible, the throttle is super sensitive..etc. etc. :scare:

     

    Give me an R1 any day... :thumbs:

     

    Ah you lot are all too soft LOL, spoilt by Japanese refinement :p

    The clutches are crap though, mine was shot at 3000 miles, as was the back tyre and I wouldn't ever buy a Ducati second hand, heard too many horror stories LOL, even worse than an Alfa...

     

    Mine had just had £1k spent on the engine..... :wacko:

    GP2 Turkey - Dog On Track

    in Off Topic Discussion

    What a disgrace. 2 dogs get on the track. Bruno Senna hits one....dead dog Senna is out. Safety car comes out whilst they catch the other.

     

    How on earth do the organisers let this kind of thing happen. We keep hearing of Silverstone losing F1 due to facilities needing upgrading etc. but this is basic stuff and should not happen. Turkey should loose their F1 status...OK rant over. :angry:

    I always wanted a Duke and bought a 996BP last October. I hated it, too much like hard work. Sounded and looked great but didn't enjoy riding it. I won't be having another Duke. Mine had £4k's worth of service receipts BTW...:scare:

     

    I love my R1 though, much nicer to ride and much quicker. It's also got a full Yoshi Race system so sounds pretty nice too... :thumbs:

     

    Yeah I know what you mean, I think the word is "focused". Rock hard ride, radical riding postion, only makes sense when you are on it. But I must confess I'm a Sunday morning rider so I can live with all that. My bike is just a toy and I know I'm never going to do much more than a couple of hundred miles at a time on the thing.

    It's the looks and the noise with Ducatis, as you say. Gorgeous things.

     

    I would have described my 996 as "agricultural".... :lol:

     

    at standstill with the clutch out they sound like a bag o nails :scare: (dry clutch :blush:

    I like it in white. Impreza's are great cars and the handling really suits british road. I had a 01 WRX PPP a few years ago and it was probably the best handling saloon car I've had, especially after I had the geo setup.

    I love the night shot too.

     

    A CSL replica if I'm not mistaken, i.e. CSL wheels, boot and front spolier, but no CSL badges. Weren't all CSL's silver?

     

    and didn't they all have carbon roofs and no sunroof, think you're right kev

     

    I thought the carbon roofs were the latest generation, but you might be right.

    Why does everyone keep bangin on about the snow as if he is driving in it? i cant see any snow on what looks like a pretty dry track :surrender:

     

    This is driving in the snow

    Snow = cold = damp = slippy = potential crash :lol:

     

    A048's don't work too well when it's cold, which is what I assume he's on. They are pretty much like motorbike tyres in that they need to heat up to grip.

    I saw this from a post on SELOC. This is what one of the guys over there posted.

     

    Thats celima. he's a nutter of a driver. plenty of videos of him on youtube at various places such as nurburgring and monza.

    Smart vid, whats the K20 engine used in though?

     

    CTR. A popular conversion on S1's. Also some have an SC so pushing 300+bhp. A stripped out S1 is around 780kg's.. :scare:

    BMW to build an R8 rival?

    Looked at it and though M1! Read it and saw it was celebrating M1. They won't build it!

     

    +1 Its a non-story. Built as an homage to the original M1. Some journo making a headline out of nothing.

     

    You're probably right, but I used to love the M1.

    It's a well known car in Seloc and well setup. A well setup Exige is easy to drive, but when they let go they let go big time, I can vouch for that....;)

     

    He's running Yoko Advan A048's I think like most of us. Awsome sticky tyres providing it's not too wet. I can vouch for that too... :lol:

    Nope a GTR - had to get something bigger to fit his ego in.... :yahoo:

     

    Think spill has has a 911 now.

    Even Dash is rumoured to be getting a porker.....;)

     

    They should all be banned from the OC then for daring to own a different car.... ;)

     

    Giles in a GT-R, that'll get an easy life then...... :lol:
