Michael is also a stupid name for a woman. Utterly ridiculous idea. Klingon funeral rites haven't been changed since they were introduced when K'ehleyr died in Worf's arms, so that's 27 years

I wouldn't mind ST:D (heh) so much if it wasn't set in the Prime universe. There's just too many things that make absolutely no sense whatsoever. A change of look for the Klingons is fine by me, but changing their funeral rites? Nope. Making subordination just a regular ol' thing on a Ferderation starship? Nope. And having a captain who is apparently completely okay with taking the most famous criminal in the quadrant and giving them free reign into a classified programme? Definitely nope. And let's not even go into why Spock has never ever ever mentioned that he grew up with a Terran girl... It might be good TV (which it is), but it's not Star Trek. I don't get how they got the new films so very right yet this so very wrong.

F*ck yes.

Given he wrote that book a full two years before the MPS4 came out, I'd suggest that's fairly impressive foresight.

Sounds like possible interference to me, try changing channel on the router as a starting point. May well not be, but it's an easy one to check and nothing to lose.

Bit unfair to expect the NSX to be as quick as cars costing ten times as much, so in that respect it’s a bit of a bargain. Still ugly and with the interior of a Civic, mind you. I’d love to drive the GT3 version with no hybrid nonsense, I bet that’s a riot.

You forgot AIDS. That's all my fault as well. Damn sexy monkeys... In my defence I wasn't actually supposed to be sorting anything out, that was @GracieB's suggestion I suggest someone start a new thread, suggest a date and location and then let's go from there.

Anyway, laptimes. Further apart than I expected tbh, Bedford West is a good comparison which is 1:26:10 for the R and 1:20:10 for the GT-R. The only caveat is that Tiff was in the Nissan and Prosser in the VW, and I think it's reasonable enough to say that the former isn't as quick a driver! Still, that's a bigger gap than I thought, I stand corrected.

I've not driven a Golf R, no. I have no desire to either, but at the same time I've already said I wouldn't take one over an R35. If you honestly believe your last sentence, then I really don't think this is the conversation for you. Doc already pointed out a ton of reasons why someone might pick an R over an R35. And given that we've already proved that an R35 is cheaper than a new R, saying that one is outside of the average Joe is ridiculous

I dunno, I think you might be surprised. Less weight, newer electronics, newer chassis... I bet there's not as much in it as you'd think. I'll go have a hunt for lap times.

I don't think I'd call a 1500kg 4WD hot hatch with 300-odd bhp (much less 400bhp with a £120 remap!) dreadfully dull. Hell, it still has the option of a manual 'box so that's one area where the R35 will never be able to compete. Plus new car, plus full warranty, plus decent interior, plus five proper seats, plus more boot space, plus it's a completely different image (for better or worse) etc. Now don't get me wrong, I'd take a GT-R over a Golf R too, but I can see plenty of reasons why many people wouldn't.

£15K? Ouch.

I wonder if they will go much lower, y'know. Excessive running costs doesn't always mean that prices go down to compensate, ultimately you can get to a point where if you can't afford to run one then it doesn't matter how cheap it is. If the next GT-R is indeed all hybridy and into six figures, then I think R35 prices could well firm up.

Fairy muff PMu pads and discs?

Hmm, that's a shame then, as that really spoils the look IMHO (which otherwise is fine). Would you look to weld the tips on instead?

You got baffled inserts in those exhaust tips?

Trouble is that it comes out a week or so after CoD, which means that much like the first one that no f*cker is going to be playing it and the servers will be as dead as a room full of young padawans after Anakin's paid them a visit. They really need to be moving the release date to another time if they want people to carry on playing it, even if that means sacrificing Xmas time profit.

Controls on a touchscreen is a sh*t idea full stop. Worst design idea ever, and I include that for every manufacturer that does it. Give me a button that I can grab and operate by feel alone so I can keep my eyes on the road, not a screen I've got to plough through menu after menu to get anywhere.

Even better it was 220 delivered out of 260 made, so nearly 20% being rectified Quality control may need some serious work more than anything else. Still, he’s off to Mars in a few years, so who cares?

Perhaps, but it's unlikely anyone choosing bigger wheels would want more arch gap

How so? Rolling radius is the same regardless of 17", 18" or 19" wheels assuming you stick to OEM tolerances. In the case of the OP, the car is already 10mm lower due to the chosen tyres.

So what did he do to stop it?

Some pics might help here. And welcome

The MPSS does indeed have more rim protection on it than a Pirelli, so normal. However, please do not drive that car until you've changed the rear tyres so they match. I mean, you can drive at real low speed to the tyre place to get them changed, but don't carry on driving as usual: Having mixed tyres across an axle is seriously dangerous. And those P Zeroes are garbage, the MPSS is a MUCh better tyre all round.
