Ooh that's an interesting link, ta.

Just MTFU and drive in ya wuss :p

Isn't it good to know we both like ugly cars!

Hate to break it to you mate, but the VX isn't a good looking car at all, certainly not compared with the Elise. Designed with a set square.

I know the company knows who he is, but the other guy who is going on holiday might not have a clue who he is!

So you'd be happy with HR telling a stranger when you're going to be away on holiday? Don't think I would be!

You're forgetting the VXR220 Lego brick as well! I buy awesome cars, not pretty ones. Others can pose, I'll be perfectly content driving the right car for me

That's how I usually buy my cars

14mpg? Sounds like you're driving it properly

I paid for a full OPC inspection (111pt check) of my 911 before I sold it. Also included a service too, but then I also priced both of these into the asking price so I didn't lose out Thing is, 95% of buyers don't know or don't care: They just want a cheap Porsche. There's no point spending money out on the car if you just want to get shot of it, and then what happens if you do find out there's an issue? You either have to disclose it in the ad and reduce the price, or hope that someone comes along and doesn't ask the right questions or want their own inspection.

I'm so glad someone picked up on that: I set 'em up, I'll let someone else knock 'em down!

Like my video of me in the MR2 and the 360CS at Anglesey a few years back. Trouble is there's rudeness on both sides: Those in 'slow' cars who are good drivers who will bully the less confident out of the way, and those in 'fast' cars who will leave you for dead on the straights then park on the apex in a corner. I've not really found any particular marque worse for it than others, although the one that does spring to mind was an R35 and a Evo8 a few years back that decided to treat the day as a race and thought nothing of coming up your inside just as you were about to turn in. Clearly capable drivers in capable machines, but utter bellends. I was half tempted to turn in regardless, as I'm pretty sure my MX5 was worth less than their JDM uber-cars

Hitler cat!

100% I'd go for a set of the MP4S mate, in 19"s you really can't do any better right now

^^^This. Just get her a cushion to sit on.

You get a hardtop for the back and pop the dog in there. Sorted.

Then the question is irrelevant, as you can't get MPS4S in 18" sizes. However, the regular 4 is better than the MPSS, and the MPS4S is better still. And then there's the MPSC2, which are near perfection.

It's only a car. Drive it as much as you can and park it wherever, no point owning something nice and never driving it. If if does ever get a dink then so what? That's what you pay insurance for. Life's too short to worry about stuff like that. Enjoy what you have, you work hard enough for it.

What size wheels do you have?

All the new cars look bloody awful, and that's saying something after the last couple of years. The Merc in particular looks massive!

Do you mean the little plastic trim clips? You can get a ton of them on eBay in all different shapes and sizes, dirt cheap.

Nope, unless you run your own policy you have zero NCB. I'll caveat that with the fact that some insurers will give you a discount on a policy in your situation, but then the next year you'll be back to 1 year NCB.

Better, or easier?

You need to go drive a fast Caterham, I suspect you'd absolutely adore the broadside-ability of the thing

Can't remember tbh. Prob Japfest.
