  1. Webber doing a swear afterwards though was hysterical
  2. I can see his point though. It cannot be that hard to put a transponder in the car that detects when a car has gone outside the white lines and automatically apply a penalty, if they won't adjust the circuits to put gravel traps in to catch them. You can bet that if it had been Kimi overtaking Max in that way, there would've been no penalty. I'm not convinced at all that Ferrari are still not getting teh rub of the green when it comes to decisions like this. I'm not saying it wasn't a penalty, as it clearly was, but inconsistency is killing the sport. You cannot have a situation where it's okay to go outside the lines sometimes (like Seb did overtaking Lewis at the start) but not others.
  3. I prefer the 997 2RS to the 991 2RS, I think. Not as capable, but manual 'box and slightly more subtle styling ticks all the boxes.
  4. That's Peter Saywell's Zonda, based on the F. He was on his way to a charity trackday for terminally ill kids at Goodwood along with the rest of his fleet (918, 720S, etc) when it appears it span up in crappy conditions. Far, far from an idiot trying to show off, just one of those things that there by the grace of god etc.
  5. About £650K.
  6. Not really So when you brake, does this lower light come on? Or is it when you have your sidelights/dipped lights on? Or does it only come on when you activate the rear fog?
  7. SO MUCH WANT *checks price* do not want now
  8. Oh yeah, it's definitely just a way to drive sales at the lower end with these 'special editions'. It would be nice if they just opened the order catalogues properly so you could order what you actually wanted (so right now you can't have an S with the door pull straps, but you can have a non-S with them now) but it'll never happen. Porsche are probably the best (worst?) in the world for doing stuff like this right now, but then they're also the most profitable too so it clearly works.
  9. Can't remember now, it wasn't that quick though as I left it running overnight as I was doing it at work
  10. The R is a limited edition NA car that uses the RS engine but with a manual 'box. The T is a common model turbo charged car that uses a standard engine and is available in either manual or PDK. I mean, I get your point about lightweight, but really the lightweight thing isn't worth worrying about on both cars: You could lose more by having a poo before going for a drive. The R is made utterly irrelevant now by the 991.2 GT3 Touring, and the T uses the least powerful engine but with a sprint gearbox (watch out for that available on the RS soon methinks, or maybe the next 718 GT4).
  11. This isn’t remotely comparable to the R.
  12. *e-hug*
  13. Can't help with specifics, but in general if you add 25% to the total cost including shipping you won't be far off at all.
  14. FEAR MY MANLY HUGGLES
  15. Not without a rear fog light it won't.
  16. There's one of those near the airport (Bishop Stortford bypass for the locals https://goo.gl/maps/fEsyGiGVDo22), and it's a proper suicide lane as it's got broken white lines on the single lane side so you can overtake there too. You can pretty much imagine some drivers' eyes popping out their skull when they see you pull out and start to overtake into 'their' overtaking lane
  17. F***ING SCUMTARD VISION I'M GOING TO COME ROUND YOUR HOUSE AND TURN YOUR TV ON IT'S SIDE Although bizarrely you did turn it round halfway Looks good
  18. I'd hug them to death with love.
  19. <----- keyboard warrior extraordinaire
  20. I didn't say I was the one who was going to punch her
  21. And now I'm singing the song from Aladdin. Cheers Col. Nah, I liked it when they used to spend the first 6-8 episodes of the series on each character. It let them get the boring stuff out of the way so we could get onto the proper stories. I'd rather see some singular episodes than just more of one arc. Mrs Mike can f*** off though, she needs a punch in the face.
  22. How the heck I missed you posting that video, I've no idea I was always crap at the licences
  23. Of course I don't think it's a particularly good story at all right now tbh. I'm not really even sure what the story is if I'm honest, aside from there's now a war with the Klingons and they need this magical spore tech to win it, even though we know that magical spore tech doesn't exist by the time TOS starts. I guess my biggest problem is that the characters simply aren't strong enough: The only one who has anything unique about him is the tall grey guy with tentacles behind his ears. Everyone else is instantly forgettable or generic. You certainly couldn't say that for any of the cast of the previous series apart from ENT, and that wasn't great either. It feels like it desperately needs some single story episodes that focus on each main character, to properly introduce us to them. Give me some reason I should care about them, because right now I couldn't give a toss if any of them get killed off.
  24. I've not driven the non-S yet, only the S and that was bloody amazing. I do still want to try the 2.0 718 at some point too.
  25. Well both Ford and Porsche have RS cars, so why not pinch FR too: At least they're in the same group Also, no PCM or rear seats as standard! Superb, even though no-one will ever order one without at least one or the other.
