Meguiars Last Touch Detailer, as found here. Lasts for aaaaaaaaages. Failing that, if you're desperate any of the detailers that Halfrauds sell will do (I think they do an NXT one as well).

If the goal is to make it look pretty then spend the lot on a full correction with Envy Valeting or similar and then keeping it topped up. It'll make the car look a lot better than anything else will IMHO.

Don't go from 6th to 5th? Go straight to 4th, do not pass go, do not collect £200 etc.

Chuck it in the bin. Don't respond, don't do anything apart from bin it.

A week is nothing, mine often sits for two-three doing nothing if I've got other stuff on. If it was being left for a few months I might worry about it, but certainly not just a week. Fill it up or don't fill it up, it really doesn't make any difference over a short period.

Missing a leading number one from that figure I suspect. Which would then make it overpriced, but a bit more sensible than £5K.

The Zed will still feel slower than the Supra due to the power delivery, if you want it to feel fast you'll have to turbo it to the same power level. That said, the 350 will in reality be a quicker car due to the more modern chassis being more exploitable and being able to get on the throttle quicker with more predictable output levels when exiting corners.

Fanks guise!

What's an IPDM? /nub_question

No, you don't understand: You asked him for his details and he ignored you and drove off. Get the photos on the PC, right click and select properties. Far right tab IIRC, the time and date and loads of other stuff will be on there.

There will be timestamps on the EXIF data on the photo when you took it with the phone. Also you did ask him for details and he simply ignored you and drove off, remember?

OhmygodIdidn'trealisetheydidCarbonLorrainepadsfortheZedWANTWANTWANTWANT Once these PF ones are gone, I'll be trying these bad boys. Coming from a VXR as well, I know just how good those pads are.

Cool, cheers mate!

Any chance you measure the volume at 3/4 rpm 45 deg and 0.5m from the tip please?

Why buy a car and not drive it? Don't worry about the next owner, enjoy it for yourself

Tbh I might even give both!

I had an SLS pass me in a petrol station in Belgium last month, and the old chap driving was good enough to give it some beans as I stood there next to it, much to the displeasure of his wife! It's the first Merc for years that I'd give a testicle to own.

Personally I can't stand either the 458 or the MP4-12C: The Ferrari looks over fussy (although functional) and the McLaren looks like Generic Supercar Drawn By 8 Year Old. I've no doubt they're both amazing to drive, and I'd prefer the Ferrari as I'm an NA over FI man (even if the flat plane crank does sound like a bag of nails), but neither of them really interest me at all. Now the AMG SLS on the other hand... Beautiful looks and a soundtrack to match. DO WANT

Overtaking on the right Bad habit to teach people on track, even if it's your own day. Why change from what everyone else in the world does? That said, seemed pretty good instruction to me and it doesn't look like they limited the car at all. Do you know if any on the day were limited? How much were the 4 laps, and did the price change on what car you drove?

In that case run with it all the way to court. Sure, they'll probably get you on the mis-spacing, but then they could do that anyway and you won't be any worse off than you are now (remember, they'll have to issue a separate ticket for that offence which they can't mention in court in relation to the current 'offence'). Honestly, don't pay up and don't bother going down the station, take it all the way and wait for the look on his face when the judge/magistrate/sheriff/whatever they have in Scotland rips him a new one for being a complete idiot.

Actually, that depends on what he's doing you for. If it's just the size then argue it, if it's a more generic 'plate that doesn't fit within the law' then you'll have to pay it as you've got illegal representation of letters/numbers on it.

If you have the law on your side (and you do), then argue the ticket. Let it go to court and watch them throw it out because the officer in question hasn't a clue what he's talking about.

^^ Agreed.

I think it's the wing mirrors that don't really work. While it's not to my particular taste, the rest of it doesn't look that bad.
