But surely he knows that? I mean, literally the only thing that would be different is the amount of fuel he spends per week!

Get the Elite, it's worth every penny, promise.

Am I missing something here? You used to own a 350, and now you want to know how much it costs to run a 350?

They'll be fine, put a few miles on them and you won't even notice the grooves there.

I have my days

Slightly more helpfully, check the connections round the back of the unit, and if it's still crap fit the OEM aerial again.

Also, not getting Radio 1 is a good thing

?

Blimey, an MPG thread. I'm amazed that no-one has ever posted one of these before, you'd think they'd be really common in a forum about cars with large capacity NA engines.

Dishonored 2 is f***ing amazing. Easy as good as the first. But don't buy it on PC yet, as it's bugged to heck. Get it on the consoles, smooth as anything on either PS4 or Xbone.

Hypocrite..you gave me an FFS for congratulating The Donald...???? Whoop Whoop No numbnuts, I gave you an FFS for posting up a THIRD thread about the election when there were two directly above it! :lol:

Whilst I accept that a lot of this will be down to brand new tyres on the front (especially the understeer entering a roundabout), get used to the odd balance now you've fitted mixed tyres. This is exactly the kind of thing that I warn people about. It'll be fine 90% of the time, then it'll do something completely random (especially in changeable conditions) that'll scare the crap out of you, and leave you with zero confidence in the car.

I'd have binned the Nankangs long before I'd bin the RS3s!

Awful news, but all the best to both of you in fighting this awful disease.

A lot of it is also to do with the moving of the political spectrum. Centrist policies are now what would have been considered right wing in the past, which makes left wing policies look even further left than they would've done previously. Right wing is the new middle ground, which is why the Conservatives and Republicans have done well.

What discs are you using?

He meant Michael Schumacher as he is now... Too far?

Don't worry about editing chaps, I was only teasing The trouble is, where do we draw the line on offending people? It's precisely the need to ensure that absolutely no-one can ever be offended by anything that is (IMHO) partially the cause of the current political backlash. Whatever happened to stick and stones? Don't get me wrong, I do realise that aggressive negative words used in conjunction with certain behaviours is clearly going to upset people, and rightfully so. I also get that, as a privileged white man, I have very little experience of anything that could be remotely upsetting in a racial or divisive way. I get that spitting the N word in a black man's face is utterly disgusting, like I get that the Ch word said in the same way to an Asian is horrendous. At the same time, I struggle to see why cowboys and Indians is offensive now, or why white women rapping on X Factor is appropriating black culture, or why only true Rastas can have dreads.

They're horrendous, it's the biggest thing owners complain about. 20mpg on a run is considered a success!

I'm offended by quote pyramids

And you'll get 15mpg, so it'll cost you a fortune to run. Is it worth the cost to change?

We had a conversation on here a couple of years back when I (at least, I think it was me) referred to a Chinese takeaway as 'having a chinky for dinner'. This offended one of our members (someone I also consider a friend) who has a Chinese wife, so I removed it. I've not used that term on here since, as I don't think it's necessary when I can use other terms and if it means not offending a mate, it's not exactly a hardship. That said, in the comfort of my own home when discussing meal options on a Saturday night with the wife, I will use that word. I wouldn't call it to someone's face ever, and I'd like to think I have nothing against the Chinese in general as I was once engaged to a girl from there myself (but yes, that falls into the 'I can't be racist as I have a black mate!' argument of crapness, I know), however as a word to use to describe some grub then I'm comfortable with it. I also accept that others are not. As for kids singing happy birthday in that sing-song faux-Chinese, even I find that a bit close to the edge. Maybe I'd laugh uncomfortably at it if I was there and heard it for the first time, but sat here in front of my PC it doesn't sit well with me.

M tax No idea why people pay that sort of money for an exhaust, regardless of value of the car. No exhaust is worth that much.

When you can't go to fancy dress as cowboys and indians any more, I think that's crossing a line. There's pure racism, and then there's the current anti-white, anti-male, anti-working class movement that stems straight from the politics of the left. You're right Stu, Trump knew who he had to aim for and he went guns blazing at them. Was he ever going to get the black or hispanic vote? Maybe, but not without losing more white male votes than he'd gain. Smart man.

In a way, it's a giant fightback against political correctness. This sums it up quite nicely: Don't even get me started on the ridiculousness of cultural appropriation.
