Of course it matters. Reasonable cause can be twisted to allow access to anything, and as the terrorist fear takes over it just gets worse. The law has now made it a legal requirement for ISPs to keep your browsing history for two years: What's stopping them doing the same with your driving data? And then making it a requirement for insurers to inform the police of any speeding or spirited driving? As the accident rates go up, it's an easy push for the hand-wringers of the world to say they're saving the children by taking speeding drivers off the road. If you can't afford a fast car without a black box, then get a cheaper slower car until you're a bit older. That's what people have been doing for years. I don't think the push towards boxes in insurance is inevitable, as if people don't use them then insurers won't offer them. Sorry man, I know this is coming across as a bash at you, but I really don't mean it that way. It's more a rant against the system in general, as I see it as a very real threat to fun motoring.

Four seats, large boot, how much more practical do you need?! What's the idle problem btw? Too high, too low? Only on cold start by the sounds of it, could just need a tweak to the map.

It's not about affordability, it's about being the thin end of a very large wedge. All that will happen eventually is that what we pay now for regular insurance will become the norm as long as you have a box, and those who don't want Big Brother looking over their shoulder every second will be paying thousands for insurance. Put it this way, do you not think that it's within the realms of possibility that the government could legislate to have every box linked to the police systems? Any time you speed, you won't even need a copper or a camera to catch you: It'll be done automatically. Go into a corner a bit fast and get some slip? Sorry sir, that's careless driving, do not pass go and do not collect £100.

I think it depends on how cars evolve. Right now we're in the midst of the turbo and everyone (generally) is in love with big power on tiny engines. Once every car that's affordable has a dull I4T engine with an autobox attached, I suspect things like the 350Z will become very cherished.

Again, wait for the final viewing figures. TG has been consistently higher this series than last. It's a shame that CE felt the need to go, but I think it's the right call. It's managed to get me watching again though, which is something I'd never have done under the old guard. Perhaps they'll drop that awful first car/best car nonsense now!

Nah, I think you'd need someone for MLB to bounce off else it'll be a bit dull, he'd just be reading from an autocue all the time. CH would be the obvious and natural choice, they were superb together on EG this week. This also might explain why CE wasn't on the sofa at the end...

Well, that sucks. I guess it was probably half criticism, half ridiculous workload. So, does one of the team step up or do they get someone else?

I never knew we had a king emote on here, y'know. I likes that.

So you used this as a LSP, once you'd washed yeah?

PS4 are not replacing the PSS, they're a massive upgrade to the PS3. The PSS continues on its own line, which will become the PSS2 later this year/start of next. But yes, for god sake do not put the PS3 on, they're awful! PS4 or PSS is a better choice by far.

Depends if you need the cash, or want to sell. But no, prices are not likely to change in the next couple of years.

Both threads are full of useless sh*t

What makes it better than alternatives? What did you use it for? Any pics?

Also worth trying some cat pheromone spray, on the same basis as the lion dung theory: If you can make the garden smell like it's owned by another cat, then others are more likely stay away. I have no idea how good these sprays on the internet are though.

Try sprinkling ground black pepper liberally around the boundary and across the area they are using as a pooping place. Cats hate the stuff, it's cheap and you can't really see it either.

There is that too!

Speak to Grundy on here for the tyre stickers

Hold up one sec. First off, I hate black boxes. They're a slippery slope from just youngsters having them voluntarily, to be being forced to have them, to everyone being forced to have them. Secondly, you're getting dangerously close to fraud on the second driver thing. I agree, adding one can help reduce the cost, however just be careful that you actually know the person and that they truly do do the job you say they do.

Why? There is no cost to do that, AFAIK. I suspect they're taking you for a ride. Contact the DVLA directly and see what's happening regarding that plate and auctions.

You have no idea how anyone else drives, so leave the accusations at the door please.

Tbh, he's got a point. Baiting other drivers is not something this forum wishes to promote. It's childish at best, dangerous at worst.

Either or, but humble is by far the more common usage http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=IMHO

In my humble opinion.

Stick with standard, IMHO.

Doesn't matter if it was, it would still be able to be rescinded in the circumstances as described.
