  1. This caught me out earlier, and tbh I still don't know what the answer is. Which of the following sentences is correct? 1: The new Star Wars film has an Xmas release window. 2: The new Star Wars film has a Xmas release window. Now I think it's the first, as in my head I pronounce Xmas as Ex-Mass, however clearly it's just a shortening of the word Christmas so really I should be writing it as 'a Christmas window'. Obviously this is a moot point if you never ever use the word Xmas, however that would be nice and simple, two words which have never applied to me I shall leave this entirely in your hands, my friend.
  2. Can't wait for the home release too, being able to crank that right up is going to be a highlight of 2017 Looks like it'll be an April release at a guess, if it follows the same as TFA which was also an Xmas release.
  3. Pretty sure at least one will

    Five Things

    Good idea For my old 350: Love 1. Steering feel. Much better than cars 4x the price. 2. Light wheels as stock (well, if you have Rays). 3. Big engine, big torque. More responsive than it has any right to be. 4. Proper electric roof that locks away a treat, in all weathers. 5. Easy to work on. Not all jap cars are! Hate 1. Seats lack support. 2. Heated seats barely heat at all! 3. Ragtop is ugly as sin with the roof up. 4. Weak brakes, even with Brembos unless you mod. 5. Bose is garbage.
  6. Is it an LED lamp or an LCD display? The former can be sorted with a bit of black tape
  7. Ah, could well be. I actively avoid 3D as I find it gimmicky and it seems to lose focus on anything you're not looking directly at.
  8. I reckon she did the same thing as the guy from Holly City did: Body acting, but CGI face. It just looks too plasticky to be her actual face.
  9. Sure? 'Cos it looked odd and twitchy like cgi tends to. Just a bad actress then
  10. It got boring. It's now precisely the same as old TG was, just with more knob jokes. Not for me, I'm afraid, but fans will be happy it's back to normal I'm sure.
  11. It's just one more thing to go wrong, and vastly more expensive to fix than a regular cable. Plus, it's no better than a normal one, and actually has more drawbacks in that you don't have full control over it. I hates them.
  12. AD08Rs are excellent, if you prefer a track-biased road tyre. I'd rate them well above the Nankangs by some margin. The 2.0s are more suitable for a Fiesta than a sports car. Even Nanking promote their quiet running and water dispersal over any kind of performance. Outside of that, I'm going with my generic reply of either MPSS or MPS4 depending on the exact size you want and availability. Still nothing better yet, and the slight extra layout in money is paid back by longer life and then some.
  13. Manual handbrake is a good thing! The electronic one is the worst 'invention' in cars since runflats.
  14. Two things: Never burn your bridges. Staying on and being helpful may pay dividends in the long run, should things not turn out as you hope. Once a decision is made, always stick with it. Never change your mind or alter a plan, stay on the route you've planned. Which is of no help, I know, but that may help you decide which is more important.
  15. HGVs are easier to overtake than cars. Deathly slow to accelerate, very predictable in their movements, they're just a bit longer so adjust your road placing to obtain the best view. Your TED when overtaking a lorry shouldn't really be any more than if it was a car, especially in something with a bit of oomph.
  16. Drive one. They're utterly fantastic. Even the auto box is spot on, but it's the handling and ability to use the power that really makes it special. Much better car than the M4 is. But yeah, it just feels like a boggo 118d inside which is a bit of a pity. You could always add your own touches or spend a little more on deviating stitching etc to liven it up.
  17. I've never seen fake OEM Rays, ever. Probably a stamp on the back somewhere though.
  18. Unless you live in Scotland, where they're much better at it than anywhere else.
  19. It does on the motorway when accelerating hard, but never on the country lanes where it matters IME.
  20. If you're holding someone up, you should pull over and let them past. You can then bimble along to your heart's content.
