  1. No, not this... But this instead: This is currently doing the rounds on PH, be interesting to see what other people think before I pass my judgement and view (which I know is annoying, and I berate others for doing it. Do as I say, not as I do etc).
  2. And of course no-one will actually remember that they're voting for who is going to be running the country and all the other non-important stuff like NHS, education, taxes etc. The media (and the parties themselves!) will focus so hard on Brexit, everything else will just get the odd line here or there. That's the real shame. Also, we've got county council elections on May 8th: Why couldn't she have called this earlier and had them on the same day, to save costs?
  3. Didn't even bother counting UKIP as a serious contender in the poll I stuck up, I kinda figured they're dead as a dead thing now.
  4. Here's a question: What if a Labour-coalition get in, and then decide that we don't want to Brexit after all? Can we even stop A50 now? What if the EU say nope, sorry but you've triggered it now, you're leaving one way or another? Also, anyone catch May's speech? Interesting to note how she slagged off Corbyn and Labour, then Farron and the LD, but simply mentioned Sturgeon and the SNP by name only with no disparaging comments? It's as if she didn't want to upset a key group of voters...!
  5. Theresa gone done us a surprise, ain't she? Election on June 8, assuming the other parties vote for it tomorrow. It's irritating, tbh. It's just going to cost us millions to hold the election, and we're two years away from a Brexit deal vote anyway. We either end up with a much bigger Tory majority which doesn't really change a lot, or we get a coalition of competing arguments led by someone who can't even command a lead within his own shadow cabinet.
  6. Going to need lairy stickers or paint job now.
  7. Did they have many swirls/holograms to remove before they put the film on? Did they machine the rest of the car as well? I really do like the look of those, y'know.
  8. Lexus RX? I mean they're ugly as sin, but just throwing another alternative out there.
  9. Bit odd to get excessive cracking on that age mind you, but not completely impossible especially when you consider the low mileage, meaning it's been standing around doing nothing for ages. One of those things, probably never know but it wouldn't stop me buying the same tyre again
  10. How old are the tyres? I know it's a 14 plate but the tyres could be much older, check for the 4 digit code like 2514 (week 25, 2014). If you like the S001s, stick with them I say.

    Yup, huge splitter that extends back underneath as far as possible.
  12. I do like the X4, mind you. Much more resolved than the X6.
  13. Bobbins, it'll be available via the Exclusive range. Everything is, that's the point of Exclusive!
  14. You can have that, it's just not on the configurator. Speak to an OPC direct, they'll be able to sort that for you.
  15. Really? I think the Edge is quite striking, and I'd love the extra £10K in my pocket Q5 it is then. Trouble is, with everything else on your list you're going to be hitting the options list pretty hard unless you're careful.
  16. Macan S the best car there, VW the more sensible choice, but tbh right now I'd save the money and go buy a Ford Edge instead. Get it in Vignale spec if you really must have the fancy leather stuff inside
  17. TYRES And please don't anyone ever buy a tyre based on what sodding letter it has on the side of it, that's just ridiculous :lol:

    Any time bud Mainly going from my own memories of going there, when I left my locking wheel nut key at home so couldn't fit the R888s on my spare set of wheels I'd had taken out there, so had to track on the MPSS. Turned out to be the better option, mainly because my speed was tempered because of this so I wasn't able to push as hard as I might've done otherwise along with the increased risks that extra speed brings.

    Adding rear aero, assuming it's even remotely functional, is going to add understeer to the front on the faster corners. That's going to make the car feel very sketchy, especially at the Ring when you think it's a speed circuit (as opposed to somewhere with lots of slow corners). Unless you know exactly what you're doing as well as knowing the Ring very well (50 laps or so), or have had the chance to have a play on a track beforehand, I think you're simply going to make the car worse for you. Much better to have a car you know very well at a place as dangerous as the Ring, instead of a car you're experimenting with and have no faith in. You'll be really irritated if you end up crawling round the track because the car doesn't feel right, rather than just being able to enjoy it and concentrate. A car that feels weird is going to increase your likelihood of binning it, rather than reduce it. By all means book a trackday up beforehand and go play with a BGW, but please don't do it there for the first time.
  20. Go MPS4S and 245/35/19 with 295/30/19, job done. Both about 3 and a bit percent smaller than stock, will balance each other out and not cause you any TCS issues.
  21. Cake you say? I think that's the one key thing we're short of, so you're deffo in mate. Need your own weapon though. Don't think a flan base will cut it.
