Exactly. He's miserable, grumpy, and no longer funny at all. He's taking up a place that another driver who actually enjoys F1 could be taking, thus freeing up another place further down the grid for a youngster to have a go. Kimi, Button, Massa, they're just hanging on serving no purpose. Still, at least two of those three are off next year...

Sorry, not true. There's plenty of adjustment in the OEM setup, and unless you particularly like understeer then there's no need to go with an OEM geo. Teejay, go to somewhere and speak to them about how you like your car to handle. There's no such thing as a single fast road setup that works for everyone, and a good technician should be able to sort the handling out so the car feels right *for you*.

But yes, size matters as I would guess that the 19" ones are longer than the 18" ones.

Watch the video

Ricciardo will bin it somewhere, Kimi is a moaning dullard who I always hope suffers from a mechanical issue or a team mistake. With the current state of Ferrari, both are very likely

Oh yes, I remember now - no controls on wheel for cabs Mine did. It's the BT phone controls the cabs didn't get.

The width should be stamped on the rear of the wheel.

Just quote the person above, add your name at the bottom, then remove the tags at the start and end.

Finally FINALLY got round to ordering the Pole Position seat this week, which will hopefully arrive in the next couple of weeks if lead time indicators are to be believed. Just a single one for now as I'm going to fit runners to this one, and I want to see how access to the rear is with these new seats before I ditch the pax one too. If access is still okay, then I'll order the 2nd seat. If access is rubbish, then I'll order the 2nd seat along with a custom harness bar and really just make it a strict 2 seater

Yeah, she didn't quite see it that way...

I sent my wife a rather detailed picture of an ejaculating penis earlier (because I'm a proper grown up) which turns out to have been a bad idea as it flashed up during a very important meeting :lol: Needless to say, she was not amused.

I know this car very well, drove it a few times when Evan had it. And he's doing fine, he bought my MR2 from me!

If that is Olympic, then it's a PTS colour and I'd be amazed if anywhere else in the world had one. You'd have more luck finding Riviera or Miami I suspect, or as I say get it wrapped.

And yet, motoring hasn't changed in 100 years. We're still using the same basic principle of suck squeeze bang blow.

You'll never get a Boxster in that colour. You'd be better off picking up a silver one and having it wrapped.

R888Rs. Lots of. Trackdays. Lots of. Fuel. Lots of. Perfection.

Mine never used any oil either, and that got spanked hard.

Alfa sounds like a sewing machine. That kills any chance of it getting anywhere near my garage at any point.

Just dangle the cable across the path, I'm sure it'll be fine!

More importantly, if there's one place in the world that EVs make even less sense than in the UK, it's the US! As I've said before, it's fine if you live in a city, but America is a biiiiig place and a lot of things aren't remotely close by. Are those people going to get an EV? Ever? Are they heck. If the nearest town is 80mi over then you're simply never going to chance it, not when you've got the AC or heating on with the tunes banging out. EVs make a lot of sense if you live in a city with plenty of charging points, but otherwise it's a no-go in the long term. I'd like to know the demographics of all the people buying these cars. Are they previously non-car owners? Is it their only car, or an additional one? How many of them live in urban environments, and how many are company cars? Just curious on these, not casting anti-EV aspersions.

Not true. Again, it's all about the roads you drive on: If you're crashing and banging off the floor, then lowering the car has achieved nothing other than damaging it. That's at the extreme though, for the most part you're quite correct.

Ignoring the fact that these aren't full coilovers (they retain the OEM separate spring and shock assembly, not a bad thing in itself) then the real benefit in terms of performance is for those guys that are on 100k mile cars still running original suspension: Those parts will be nowhere near as good as they were when they left the factory, so these (and the equivalent Meister and BCs) will be a massive upgrade. You'll get far more control, and likely a better and more compliant ride than on stock suspension for a fraction of OEM replacement cost. Of course, you also have the ability to stiffen things up for a sportier ride, however don't be fooled into thinking that hard = better. That's not always the case, remember when the JDM cars were slaughtered when introduced to the UK as grey imports because they bounced everywhere? The UK suspension was much comfier, and suited our roads better. It depends on what you want from the car. AIUI, the Torqen suspension can be set from slightly softer than OEM to ridiculously stiff, which gives you the option of running it either as Nissan intended or as you deem fit. You also get to adjust balance between front and rear, something you can't do on the stock setup, which opens up a whole new world of car control and playfulness...

Not really, I'd argue it's even more important if the car hasn't been used.
