  1. If that's what teenagers want, then I think we've found out the biggest problem with kids today

    New 911 GT3

    500hp, 347ft/lb, 0-60 3.4secs for PDK but clearly we'd all be taking the manual version at 3.9secs 9000rpm and a stick to change gear with. Aside from the slightly dodgy red trim around the wheels and on the seats, that's simply beautiful. I prefer the front of the gen1 to this one, but I'm splitting hairs really.
  3. 320hp, 295ft/lb, 0-60 5.7secs. And just about the ugliest hatch we've ever seen grace the market. I'm not sure what's worse, that messy front bumper assembly or that hysterically shaped triple exhaust :lol: Man, that is seriously ugly. They didn't just raid the parts bin for various things to stick to it, they decided to drop it into the skip outside and see what hooked on. Who the hell signed that off?!
  4. You and me both, I reckon I might be due for some new boots then too.
  5. What car is this in matey? Dension stuff works well, mate had one in his 997.1 and the integration was excellent.
  6. Internet arguing is the best PS4 is multi compound (like the MPSC2), unlike the PSS which is dual compound. That and the fact there's been a few years' worth of R&D into developing new rubber makes it the go-to choice for me in 18" sizes. If I had 19" wheels then yes, MPS4S is the way to go, but for 18" I don't feel hard done by at all.
  7. Why? What else are is he going to do with it, give it all to her? Erm, no thanks, I'd rather waste it on an experience than give it to someone like that. Seriously, would you just give it up then? Or donate the lot to charity.

    Stubaru BRZ

    ? it's the same car same suspension Nope, the suspension is different between the two cars. Stiffer on the rear on the 86, stiffer on the front on the BRZ. The difference is far more noticeable than you might think, too.
  9. Go see a solicitor. Now. However, unless the agreement is written down somewhere then I'd tell her to get stuffed. Or I'd spend every last penny the second I got my hands on it: Rather you enjoy it than her. Imagine a £20K holiday, being waited on hand and foot, or hiring an NSX to drive Suzuka, or a GT3 to drive the Ring...
  10. As long as you don't leave neat product baking into the stone, it'll be fine.
  11. I genuinely have no idea what to say, I can't imagine anything more distressing that someone could do to a person that doesn't involve violence.
  12. Oh god this new bloke on Extra Gear is seriously f*cking irritating KIlls it dead.
  13. I can only assume that was because James McAvoy couldn't actually complete a single lap without spinning, so might as well put it on otherwise there'd be no lap at all Just a shame that he has the personality of a limp parsnip. Good episode, and I'm so glad that Rory and Chris have been bumped up to main presenters now. Both really talented guys who deserve this.
  14. I stayed in bed as the weather just looked awful
  15. So no note or anything? No hints that things weren't right?
  16. F*cker. That sucks man. So, who were you poking then?
  17. It's all relative, I guess. Put a 350 up against an XKR and it's like a Caterham, put it up against a Caterham and it's like an XKR
  18. Woah, that's pretty harsh Did she take any of your stuff?
  19. Fair play for being honest, most people don't. It's hard to go from a sports coupe to a GT, and you do need to adjust your brain and expectations a bit. There are ways of making the car what you want, but at what cost? I reckon the Jag could be made to be better, but you'll never get round the weight and size of the damn thing. Depends how much more you're happy to put in, and whether you think you'll get that value back in enjoyment. I'd definitely start by changing the stuff that's easy to do (fit softer padding to the arm rest, remove some sound deadening) but after that I don't know. I had to do a fair amount to mine to get it to handle rather than waft, would you be prepared to do the same? As obvious as it sounds, especially coming from me, but a 911 would give you the best of all worlds. Chuckable, waftable, involving, and a decent size fuel tank. But it's not a V8, and the pull of those is strong!

    No clue!

    On the flip side, I don't like Teins at all on UK roads. Far too hard regardless of what you do to them, they always seem to be oversprung and underdamped. Great for smooth Japanese roads, not so helpful for our crappy B-roads.
  21. I go for Fisherman's Friend. I always had you down for under 85
