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

    Evo 2017 Tyre Test

    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.
  3. Truly this week has shown the deathknell for motorsport as we know it.
  4. It was actually belated, as she got me this gorgeous solid silver plectrum on the day and I didn't get her anything
  5. Nope, that my wedding present to her. Our initials, and the year we met.
  6. 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.
  7. We liked the hatch too, but the 2.5 lump just isn't as exciting as the 2.0 one IMHO. There's a lot to be said for old-school turbo lag
  8. You still can, its under My Content on the LHS bar
  9. Tbh, I don't bother with any of them. SIDC has all the tech data but is US-based, Scoobynet the best UK example but too big to not get lost in the ether. We've previously been members of the Essex Scooby Crew (I know, I know...!) but they've now been sucked up into Scoobynet. In general though, Impreza clubs are incredibly friendly places who do not stand for chavs or nonsense at all, which is surprising given the brand image. It's a good thing though
  10. Random, or a particular cylinder?
  11. People won't own cars, they'll just borrow pods Boris-bike style. Driving will only be allowed on certain roads between 1000 and 1130 every other Tuesday.
  12. We won't be driving then anyway, it'll all be autonomous pods not cars. Both together are the future for those living in urban areas, not one or the other. And at that point you can just shoot me dead if that's all that's available.
  13. My brain wants to go fast, not sideways
  14. Never going to happen in my lifetime. Maybe they'll ban ICE cars from city centres, but that's about it.
  15. HE'S FROM SUFFOLK, THE NOISE FROM THE COMBINE HARVESTERS CAN BE DEAFENING
  16. Well I have to ask, what's the £90k Toyota LM supercar you get the use of for a day as a prize? Not taking the mick, genuine question.

    Z prices

    Sorry Tom, but your advert is what's killing your chances of selling that car. No year mentioned, lacking any real details, poor choice of pictures, and yes that steering wheel needs to go.
  18. Except you've already said that this is what you've been given, not what you actually want to spend. Get what you want, compromise elsewhere. Let her have a nicer ironing board or something.
  19. Budget been given?! Cough up the extra yourself then
  20. That's excellent, it really is. Outstanding vocals, and the mix was unusually good too. Yup, I enjoyed that far more than I expected to.
  21. And on the flip side, I've only ever had Samsung TVs and wouldn't dream of swapping brands. I wouldn't disagree that the internet stuff is guff but it is with every brand, I'd only ever use a separate box for Netflix, Plex et al.
  22. Big is best. But seriously, ten inches is a massive difference in tellybocks size, so it depends on your usage. Is this going in the living room or a bedroom? Living room I'd go bigger, bedroom I'd go smaller.
