Yeah, that's a bit rapey dude.

Oh man, of course BoJo! He'd be amazing! Holly and Phil would also be fun. Patrick Stewart and Morgan Freeman I adore as people, but they're more dinner party than pub.

Ryan Reynolds. Mila Kunis (and not just to have a chance of sleeping with her, purely because she seems like a laugh). The Rock. Taylor Swift seems like she might be fun too, but I get the feeling she'd break down after a few too many and become weepy. That would kill the evening, so she's out.

I have a lot of cat pictures

I will if they don't even offer the most basic of functionality

@Craig: Well, obviously Most forums highlight a thread if it hits x number of replies, should be fairly easy to implement but I don't know the IPB software at all.

Are they even that light?

What a PITA. It doesn't generate the correct link from the mobile app, so you have to c+p manually then remove the s from the http bit.

Not working for me, nothing is uploading from the mobile app. This is stupid.

Craig, how would you define 'really juicy'? Number of posts? Posts per hour? Whether x poster posts in there?

I shall also migrate to imgur now. I've no issues with PB, however if that's the will of the people then so be it. However, if it's sh*t I'm coming back and moaning like crazy at everyone who has recommended it on here.

Will was entertaining, and whilst many a tall tale was told he was at least a nice guy. Dblock was just one of life's total knobends who could pick a fight in an empty room.

*facepalm* You clearly didn't read my post. First paragraph clearly states points that are nothing to do with racing round mountain passes, but that are applicable to every day commute driving. Go and watch all of Reg Local's YT vids, you'll notice that he's not remotely racing anywhere at all, but rather takes a more IAM-based (well, ex-police pursuit really) viewpoint on driving. Everything he mentions there will improve every aspect of your driving far more than even 100bhp more will. His books are good as well, but the videos explain it rather better. If you can't see how any of that would assist you as a driver, then I don't know what will. Power is nothing without control.

TV... culture... nope, not seeing the link there.

If you've got the cash, then Cup2s all the way. They're much more wet weather friendly now than the original Cups used to be, the GT3/RS/Speciale guys are more than happy with them in all conditions.

That front end is way, way too fussy. The mk1 definitely looks better in that regard.

You're missing the point: It's not about racing, it's about being a better drive. Heel and toe means you're saving your drivetrain from wear, placing yourself in the best places for corners means you can see if any hazards are approaching etc. Tyres and tarmac could save you and your car from damage even in queuing rush hour traffic. None of that is relevant to racing, it just makes you a better driver on regular roads. The fact is it can then be transferred to when you are on nice roads, and I don't believe for one second anyone buys a Zed just for the boring commute. It's about improving yourself as a driver, learning to be safer and more confident.

Now there's an idea...

That is proper fugly.

Nah, the expense isn't worth it. Plus we always take the fun roads back from LM, so I wouldn't want to ruin those just to save a bit of tyre wear. It's one of those personal things, some people would find my car horribly twitchy and nervous, but I'd probably find theirs an understeering blob It's all about balance really, I could go far more aggressive but then I'd chew through tyres in a couple thousand miles, and no way could I afford tyres that quickly.

Essentially if you run toe out then when you turn the steering wheel, the front tyres are already pointing into the corner so you get much sharper turn in. In general it makes the car more unstable, rubbish for straight lines (it'll tramline like a bitch on the motorway) but ace for the twisties.

I run a f*ck-ton of toe out I'm also running maximum camber at the front too, hence everything wears that little bit quicker. The rears I run with minimum camber, but I do like to slide the back end a tad... Hard to say on mileage as I've swapped tyres around a fair bit, but at a guess I'd say about 12K on the fronts and probably 8k from the rears, which is about right given the usage of the car. If I set everything up to be OEM and pootled everywhere then I'd probably double that, I reckon.

I'm tempted but only because I do want to try the 4s. I have no issue running trackday rubber all year round, it's only a fun car after all.
