Excellent post, spot on Kieran. Great advice, and good to see someone who is prepared to take J17 all the way and call them out on their (alleged ) shady practices.

And to be a flake I’m going to have to pull out of this now I’m afraid, sorry @andybp

Depends on the effort you want to go to, really. There’s nothing there that’s horrendous like a Rocket Bunny or anything, so I’d give it a go as it is.

SOGA hasn’t been relevant for consumers for the last two years, so I’m not sure I’d put much faith in that website. It’s the CRA now. That said, there’s still some good points on there.

Trouble with Jags is that they’re all sodding autos. That would make them a no go for me straightaway. They’re very heavy cars too, so definitely more wafted than sporty. I’ve no idea what tuning options there is for them though. If you could transform one in the same way I've done to my 6er in terms of suspension work, then that could be a very good option.

Night blue car you say? White or gold wheels it is then.

@ATTAK Z! Quick, over here! Yeah, not surprised at all. I'd love to know how they come to some of their conclusions, I really would.

I like the cut of your jib, sir! But yes, a very good (and different) option. Now if only there was one for sale...

Because brown paper envelope. I can almost promise you that's the difference, or at least a case of who owes who a favour down at the Masonic Bowling Lodge.

Cayman or 911. Former is cheaper and sharper, latter is more challenging but more rewarding and utterly unique.

No contest there really, but at least that's one step out of the way.

Also with a ping of 130 you'll be terrible at CoD

Not disagreeing with you, but why? And is there one available in the OP's budget?

Sorry for your loss Celia That's a great photo, almost looks like he was trying to sneak into the driver seat before you

That's actually not a bad deal there for that, tbh.

Those numbers will be just fine, no fear there Exactly what model is it you're looking at? IIRC it's something plasticky that actually snaps off, but I've not used one for a while so exactly which bit I'm unsure. Who knows, they may have improved them by now in fairness.

But yeah, just give it a bit more oomph and it'll come apart.

Kranzle ftw, but a touch out of your budget Karcher are okay, but expect to be replacing the gun in short order as they're made of chocolate. That said, for £50-£70 I'd be happy enough recommending them as aside from the guns I've never had an issue with the ones I've owned over the years. But I do love my Kranzle very very much now.

Well yeah, there is that Why Joe Public spend £££ going there though and treat it like it's the Best Race Ever, I've no idea. I'd be quite happy for it to fall off the calendar, at least that way they might have a rethink about improving it rather than just raping wallets.

I don't understand why anyone bothers going to Silverstone for the British GP at all. I can't think of a race I'd like to go to less: Literally any of the other F1 circuits appeal much more. As you point out Doc, it's ridiculously expensive there too, so why bother? But then, after LM everything is a bit disappointing COTA, on the other hand, looks absolutely immense

Nowt wrong with a worm drive clamp. If it fits, it fits. The other alternative would be to get a bigger coupler and possibly shave the hardpipe down a bit.

Put it this way, that’s the same price bracket as an R8 or a 540C, and I’d damn as hell take either of those over this. I cant help but wonder if this was designed as a race car first, and a road car second. Aston aren’t shy about pushing their racing credentials these days, so I wonder if they’d decided to make the best racer possible so it would sell more road cars? Don’t know.

Messy. And waaaaaay too much money.

Get it bloody sorted then

So, this Sunday, everyone still in?
