No rush, forum looks so much tidier without them. I must say that I'm really liking this new format, despite me never being a fan when forums change. I'm struggling to see anything I don't like, or that's worse. Big thanks to all involved, I can only imagine the headaches this must've given you.

*sets reminder in iCal*

Man will destroy the world long before Jesus mk2 ever does. It'll be long after I'm gone though, so it bothers me not a jot.

I prefer to think of it as a grammatical way of making an emphasised point But yes. Super sad emoji required.

What web address are you browsing to?

The spacing makes it look a little extreme on here, I'll admit. Force of habit though.

Jay's sweet testicle sack, apparently

This is why you lock your mobile devices with a passcode Also, this is why you use a burner phone (or so I read on the internet somewhere).

Why on earth would you let your missus go through your emails and private messages?! Sod that.

You don't need Tapatalk any more, the mobile version is no longer lacking any functionality.

But it IS coincidence, nothing else. This kind of stuff has been disproven so many times by psychologists as people making facts fit whatever they want. It's a common thing, like when the sun comes out just as you bury someone or you pray for a sign and the postman knocks at the door. All bobbins. Sorry man, I'm not trying to be argumentative here directly at you, you're making some excellent arguments and I'm really enjoying this debate.

It's the Ring specifically that I refer to with my question, as it's a public road and not a trackday (assuming a TF day of course). In this situation your own road insurance doesn't cover you, so if you crash into someone else's car then your insurer will be coming after you directly for that repair cost. Okay if you nudge a Nova, not so good if you dent a Dodge Viper.

Not true, they can write the car off exactly the same as your own insurer can sadly. Look at it this way: If the TPI (third party insurer) wants to write it off but you don't agree, then you go through your own insurer and ask them to repair and claim back costs. They look at it, then agree with the TPI that it's a write off financially, so you're back to square one and it's in every insurance contract that you agree to let your insurer handle each claim as they see fit. The only alternative you have is to cancel the claim completely and repair yourself. Sometimes this can work out for the best, especially if the car is worth peanuts or you don't want to lose NCB (although you still have to declare the accident regardless), but I don't think that's a realistic case here.

I dunno, I'm not really sure it's thought provoking at all. As a child who doesn't know any better then sure, it's amazing, but as a fully grown adult (mostly) with an evolved sense of logic I cannot see religion of any kind as anything other than a piece of fiction with the best PR ever. I find science and how atoms and energy and forces combine to be fascinating and thought provoking, and can spend hours wasting away on Wikipedia researching the history of the universe. Whilst I enjoy the art and romance of religion, I don't take it any more seriously than the latest episode of GoT. I respect people's rights to believe in whatever they wish, but I can't say that a little bit of me deep down doesn't immediately write someone off intellectually if they're a hardcore believer.

Well, they didn't come from a magical being sat in the clouds, that's for sure.

I'll be incredibly disappointed if I'm not joining you.

Dear god yes. Like night and day, and I say that as a fan of the 660. The only reason I stopped using the Endless was that the warranty on the car I bought after wouldn't allow it, and with the BMW I'd pretty much double the value by using it Actually, I really should give that a go now it's a reasonable price.

For me, it boils down to this: If you want to be a good person or a bad person, just go ahead and do it. You don't need some unprovable nonsense to justify how you choose to live your life. If kids weren't indoctrinated by their parents, and only learnt about religion from studies, do you think they would choose to follow? Not aimed at you Davey, just a general question.

Speaking of the fluid, this is the cheapest I've seen it for a long time, bargain :)

I found the Performance Friction 01 on the fronts and Z-rated on the rear of mine to be the best combo I tried, but that was in conjunction with PF 2-piece discs and Endless fluid (that stuff is immense btw). If I were you I'd be going for a set of the CL5+ or CL6E pads, right now I don't think there's much better out there.

Does it cover third parties as well? That's what concerns me about accidents at the Ring, as that's where the big payouts will come.

TFR will strip wax, so that's fine if that's the goal. Personally I only use the stuff on commercial vehicles, as it can be quite harsh if you're not careful. But then, that's the idea!

A square tyre setup will make the VDC far more likely to intervene (like much, much more) as you'll have altered the balance front to rear. This will make the car far more likely to oversteer, so you'll probably want to run with the VDC off permanently to stop it ruining all the fun. Unless you know what you're doing and are happy for a tail happy car, most people are better off running a staggered tyre setup. You can still do that on square setup wheels, if that's the goal. Not passing judgement on driving skills, just saying what works for the majority.

Did you ask what sponge it was? Could've been a Zymol or DJ one... Not all sponges are created equal, and there's a good argument for using a decent sponge over a wash mitt. Also a good argument the other way, mind!
