That was the first one I found after a google for Jenson Button angry radio, I'm sure there's others

Perhaps, but I'd rather have it and not use it etc. The world changes so quickly, we couldn't imagine having not had the nuclear deterrent thirty years ago, and we may well be very grateful to have it in thirty years time. Or it may turn out to be a waste of money completely as the New World Order under The Almighty Corbyn has us all living in communes in a field, sharing our cattle with the state. If it is a waste then I'm sure we can just flog it to the Saudis as usual

Hissy fit mode engaged

How TM went from looking like the best PM we've had in years from her first speech to becoming possibly the worst in modern times (I'll ignore Gordon Brown for now), I've no idea. She literally couldn't have done any worse if she'd tried.

I'd rather spend money on Trident than the NHS and education. I mean, not one at the expense of the other completely because that's daft, we're just unfortunate that the Trident needs replacing now rather than a few years in the future. Tax breaks are only useful if they bring in more money than actual taxes. I have no idea on the exact figures right now, but I do know that raising CT would be a death blow to SMEs right now, so I'm against that in principle.

£1Bn for a functioning government is worth every penny. Even though it wouldn't have come to this if, y'know, you'd bothered to actually campaign.

I'd go and try one, only way you'll know for sure tbh.

:lol: Okay then.

Sounds more like you picked the wrong insurer than anything.

I'm not optimistic, I just know my rights and how to get what I need. I managed to get my car repaired rather than written off when a lorry drove into it, which is easier said than done on a 12 year old BMW that had depreciated like a stone. For GZ, this is incredibly straightforward. I wouldn't be concerned at all, and if he wants a hand he only has to ask.

All of them, I think. But that's what it takes to get to the top, they're all as bad as each other on their day. I like Seb as a person, and rate him massively as a driver. But this wasn't on at all.

What colour is it? Which wrap?

Just a sh*t cat then. I'd be irritated too tbh, but Adrian is correct when he says that no manufacturer would guarantee an emissions pass. One of those things, sadly.

Only just seen the Vet/Ham footage. How on earth Seb only got a 10 sec S&G for that, I've no idea. Clearly Lewis wasn't at fault in the slightest as the stewards had a good look at his data trace and took no action, but how you can get away with pulling alongside and ramming your car into the safety car (which is what Lewis was at that point), I've no idea at all. That's mind boggling stuff. At the very minimum he should've been black flagged and removed from the race, more reasonably would've been to have had a 3-5 race ban. This wasn't an over-ambitious move into a corner, or screaming down the pit lane, this was deliberately ramming another car at low speed because you had the hump. Inexcusable behaviour, from both Seb and the stewards.

Sometimes they just need to get really hot before taking the test, did they try that?

Suffice to say a HEPA filter is not exactly worth worrying about, and if the insurers have to pay more to get the colour you had then who cares? It's not betterment in terms of spec if you get exactly what you had, and the cost is the cost. Imagine if you bought a LaFerrari a couple of years back for £1M, they're now going for £4.5M so that's what they'd have to cough up. Not something I'd lose any sleep over. I appreciate you're upset about losing your dream car, but you're going to get 99% of the exact same car back but newer: Seriously, chill out and just let things happen. These things happen, it's all going to get sorted, it may just take time. Life's too short to sweat stuff like this.

Always flash or wave

Single cat compared with two is never going to be as good, better to either run normal cats or decats & change for MOT I reckon. Personally I'd do the latter, even if the MOT place charges you £50 for the privilege.

Well worth changing those as well, that'll really let you fine tune the handling

So what options do Tesla no longer offer on a new X?

Get HDEV to do a proper corner weighting setup for you too, that'll make a massive difference. In terms of stiffness settings (fnar), I found that 8F/10R from full stiff gave a good balance on a 350 (assuming you've gone for the stock spring settings), but ultimately it's down to the roads you drive on and how harsh a ride you're prepared to put up with. When CG set mine up on the Bummer we found that 10F/15R worked best, however on track I shifted that to 5/10 and then forgot to change it back before I left. I now leave it on 5/10 permanently as I'm happy to sacrifice comfort for turn in. Stock ARBs?

Oh god please don't put songs over videos like that, we want to hear car noises Any issues with fuel cut on low fuel? The one my friend runs is always doing that mid-corner if the tank is below half full, most frustrating thing ever as it's not like it's got bags of torque to pull you out of a hole when it's cut all power!

A new car, which is what you'll end up with. It doesn't matter what you paid for yours, if prices have risen then that's not your problem, it's the insurance company's. I don't know the spec of the Model Xs but they can't change that dramatically, as it's not like they've suddenly deleted the sports pack or the V8 from the options list What options does yours have that are no longer available?

Done another buy: 1960 Tribute Plus, so Epiphone MIC body but with Gibson '57 pups & Grover tuners, plus fancy hard case. It's absolutely gorgeous to play, even though it's not the lightest thing I own, but I do prefer a heavy guitar sometimes. The tone is out of this world, and I've also picked up a THD Hotplate attentuator as well so I can drive the V30 really hard now and this thing just sings. Love it

Ah I see, sorry. That'll be covered anyway, as it's not GZ's insurance paying out it's the TP's, which means that they'll have to put him back where he was and I believe that generally speaking a car that's less than 6 months old (may even be a year) will always be replaced with a brand-new one. Certainly something as specific as a Tesla will be, any way.
