Not even close. At worst he's joint best with Seb, Nando and Max.

Very kind offer, can't see that breaking any rules

Did you do a skid in that video then? Like I said, I didn't watch it all, just skipped to a few bits. My point stands though, does it not? I mean, why would anyone want to go out of their way to give the Zed and Jap car owners in general a bad rep? I already said feel free to explore limits where appropriate, I know I do. Time and a place though, that's the key.

They really are lush in real life.

If your going to slide, then do it where there are no other cars/persons/objects around. Doing it outside a car show on a relatively busy road where you're being filmed is just bonkers.

That video single handedly sets back the perception of the Jap car scene by about ten years. Didn't watch it all, admittedly, but saw enough. And as for the f*cking idiots standing opposite the junction, did they not realise just how dangerous a place to stand that was?! Right in the line of fire of wannabe heroes sliding out and turning right. Gene pool needs a bloody great dose of chlorine. Folks, it probably doesn't need saying, but please remember when you're driving your cars that you represent all of us as a community, and your actions reflect on us all both in the positive and the negative. So please, don't drive like a d*ck, especially not at events like this where there's a lot of people watching. Thanks

Oops, missed this. Extensive history: Give me dates, mileage and locations. Common problems fixed: Just the two mentioned? Which clutch was put in? When? By who? Which rad fans? When? By who? Couple of usual marks, where? Pics? Your listing is all wrong too, one big paragraph is difficult to scan. Try listing mods like this: Greddy induction kit Greddy front strut brace Invidia Gemini exhaust Tein S Tech lowering springs etc. You put 'Big brembos', well they're just the stock ones aren't they? plus Brembo should be capitalised. Carbon gear shift and Carbon engine cover should not have capitalised Cs if in a paragraph, and it's a gear knob not a gear shift. Actually you've capitalised after every comma, that's the bigger issue. E2 DLJ is clearly a private plate, is that coming with the car? If not take it off, get the original plate back on and get some photos that aren't either over or under exposed. Choose a single location too, go find a nice park somewhere or a country road layby. Be consistent! Apart from that it's fine.

One will probably be along shortly to do it for you

Should've bought that model we saw in LM now.

In theory a stock STi is 260bhp, a PPP equipped car (like ours) is 305bhp. We had it dynoed a few years back in our first ownership and it was putting out just shy of 320bhp... Depends how much you trust dynos I guess, I doubt it's under 300bhp though given how hard it pulls all the way to the redline which is very rare for turbo car. And Andy they're rose-gold I'll let you argue with other half if you want to insist they're pink

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA nope.

You have, and he took the p*ss too that's why I'm bitter

https://www.vwheritage.com/blog/2017/07/21/new-categories-write-offs/ Cat C & D are to be replaced with S (structural damage but repairable) and N (non-structural but uneconomic to repair) from October. Should mean it's easier to clarify what level of damage was actually recorded, assuming its assessed correctly. Cue a huge bunch of threads from roughly November wondering why their car isn't a Cat D...

Is it though? It just tempts people into driving in ways in which they otherwise wouldn't, and it's not like his footage is particularly impressive. Sorry, that sounds like I'm picking on you, I'm really not. His videos would just be significantly better if he cherry picked the interesting stuff, perhaps on some longer shots, rather than videoing every single thing leaving. #grump

Awesome place for the coppers to park up there though

He does? I mean, I've seen a few of his vids where he stands there and films cars as they leave places (mainly to spot the bellends who can't leave a car show sensibly), so does he do other proper films as well?

Which isn't weird at all. But then you do have that god-awful tacky as hell tattoo to match

They only finished in the top ten (or nine, in this case) because that's the amount of manufacturers Evo asked to supply tyres, not because they were specifically chosen because they're any good Wouldve been good if they'd chucked a really cheaply set of ditchfinders in there too, just to see how bad they are in comparison.

Is it throwing a code, or can you hear/feel it?

More spoilers ahead... 1st Michelin PS4 2nd Pirelli PZero PZ4 3rd Continental PremiumContact 6 4th Falken FK510 (!) 5th Dunlop SportMaxx RT2 6th Bridgestone Turanza T001 evo 7th Hankook Ventus S1 evo2 8th Goodyear Eagle F1 asymmetric (!) 9th Toyo Proxes Sport Scores, 1st to 9th: 98.1 95.7 94.3 92.8 92.1 91.8 91.6 90.7 86.9 Performed at the Conti test track. Read the magazine if you want the full details, it's too new for me to c+p any text over aside from the winner, but I will say that this is the first test they've done that actually agrees with my own personal viewpoints. Normally the Eagle F1 wins this or finishes 2nd or 3rd, but I really don't like them at all. Everything else is about where I'd expect, barring the high finish of the Pirelli (are they finally making decent tyres again?) and the Falken (very surprised about this one, maybe a good budget buy for the cheapskates among you ). But yeah, go buy the MPS4. Now.

As in the halo?

Truly this week has shown the deathknell for motorsport as we know it.

It was actually belated, as she got me this gorgeous solid silver plectrum on the day and I didn't get her anything

Nope, that my wedding present to her. Our initials, and the year we met.

Or maybe he just made a mistake, and it caught him out. Poor guy just lost his 430 Scud, I'd be absolutely gutted if that were me.
