Indeed, and if the question wasn't so utterly stupid I'd probably lock it. However, it's the most preposterous thing I've heard in ages on here so

No, the car's top speed isn't limited when the roof is down, it's just got the aerodynamics of a brick at that speed so you can't physically get any more speed out of it unless you strap a turbo to the car.

The benefit of the Apple stuff is that whatever you buy from the App Store, it'll work on your device. Given the amount of different Android specs and OS versions floating around the place, while the device is technically more capable you can end up not running anything due to hardware/software conflicts (i.e. just like a PC). One's not massively better than the other, it just depends on what the end user wants.

Revup Roadster tops out at 135mph with the roof down. Aerodynamics are really not in your favour after that sadly.

You're completely missing the point, but thanks for playing anyway

Chill guys, he's taking the mick, he was the one who doubted the claim in the first place, read the nested quote

Not a popular colour, that's all. Most went for a shade of Dull Silver or Boring Grey, or a Sunset or Temper car as orange cars were all the rage back then.

It's the other way round down here, far more 350Zs than 911s or Boxsters/Caymans. And I've also found that more 911 owners acknowledge a wave or a flash than the miserable sods in Zeds ever did

They'd be fine, and perfect to kill off on a TD

External headunit + steering wheel control loom means you can do pretty much this already. Well, I could with the Alpine unit I had in my car. Well worth it for the Bose hack guys though

Yes, but never on one of my own cars. I'm not that daft

Given that Peugeot themselves only ever claimed a top speed of 143mph, I'd agree with you 150mph on the speedo perhaps, but I shudder to think of the length of road you'd need to get to that figure.

Because it's got different grip levels to the front. Better or worse doesn't necessarily come into it when you're playing with random tyre setups in emergency conditions, an over/undercorrection because of mixed feedback could easily cause a spin.

You mean wax, not polish.

I might've sneaked a couple of bits of pepperoni off the top of a floating slice

This. Exactly this, it was like a scene from Friends or something! It was utterly heartbreaking when you hit the point at which you know you've completely ballsed it up, despite having had numerous opportunities to save it (don't order until the missus is home, don't put the shelf so low in the oven, don't put flammable cardboard in an oven, keep trying to blow it out as it will work eventually, and most of all don't put a decent pizza near a bloody bowl full of water!).

So our local Dominos is doing a 'any pizza for £10' offer atm, so me and Jo thought we'd treat ourselves. She rang me just as she was leaving work so I could order a pizza to share and it would be here for when she got home. It arrived slightly earlier than my guesstimation, so to keep it warm I popped the oven on very low and put the whole box in the oven just as I've done loads of times before. I then went off to play with the cats, knowing that the pizza was in good hands. It wasn't until I smelt the smell of burning that I thought something wasn't quite right... I'd rearranged the oven shelves recently and put one too low, so I walked into the kitchen to find the back of the pizza box on fire. Proper flames-style fire. Oops. I yanked the whole box out of the oven in an attempt to save dinner, and started to blow on the arse end of the box to get the flames out. It was like one of those never-ending candles that don't ever go out, so I moved onto the next option: Douse with water. I'd just finished the washing up so had a full bowl of soapy water right next to me, so quickly turned and dipped the corner of the box into the water, and could only cry as I watched the ENTIRE ****ing PIZZA drop straight into the water, via the hole in the side of the box where the fire had burnt away the cardboard. I stopped. I cried. I lolled. I cried a little more. 20 secs later Jo walks through the door, just as I'm on the phone ordering another pizza. FML.

Or you could actually do some work like you're paid to, instead of browsing the internet

Don't speed. At all. /VOE

Whilst I feel sorry for your friend, saying you should never turn it off in snow and ice is bad advice as that's the time you may well not want it on, to get some grip. If the engine cuts power every time a wheel spins, you'll get nowhere fast so will need to disable it It's a Nissan not a Ferrari, so not exactly difficult to drive with the TCS off

If you want the very best, then the Performance Friction pads are just that. Not cheap, but utterly incredible stopping power and I wouldn't go with anything less

At the moment, my favourite is NeilP's car. Having stuck with the Nismo stuff but adding the graphics have created a car that is understated yet attention-grabbing all in one, and that's the exact kind of look that I've always been after with my cars. There's plenty of other tastefully done cars on here (and plenty more not so tastefully done! ), but right now I struggle to think of a Zed I'd rather own than Neil's.

I've seen the way you drive, I'd like to keep my licence thanks

Dear god I'm not planning on the whole route in one day! I'll be doing LE to JOG in the one day, and then I'll break up the rest over another 5 days. LE to JOG is about 15 hours so horrible but doable.

Yup, doing it in the 911 so at least I'll be in relative comfort whilst driving. I'm still waiting on a couple of friends to get back to me to see if they want to join me, but even if they don't I'll still enjoy it I hope! That one day is going to be a killer, I know, but at least I don't still have the Zed with the K1 on! Hotels are pretty well priced I think, it's the 1700 miles on super unleaded that's going to kill me!
