A sentence without a capital letter?

SWMBO hates the fact I use the whole road, she seems to think that if you cross the hazard lines you're suddenly going to explode into a fireball or something.

but does it still count if its unrecorded lol? Of course Think of it the same way as not telling them about mods. You may well get away with it, but if you go crashing into a bunch of kids at a bus stop you can be sure they're going to look at everything at the nth degree.

Never let it be said that there's nothing more any one can ever learn I picked up Advanced & Performance Driving by Reg Local the other week, and have finally worked my way through it. Some will know Reg (not his real name) from PH, and basically this book is a collection of his thoughts and ideas of modern fast road driving put into print. He's ex-advanced police driver instructor, so as good as you can possibly get, but he's also an excellent writer who comes across with a good dose of common sense as well as humour. There was masses of info in there that I'd never even considered, some really silly tips and tricks that not only make you safer, but also faster and smoother. Give you an example: When approaching corners, slow down more than you need to so you can accelerate through them. This makes for a smoother ride for your passengers but also allows the rear suspension to work properly in the corner, actually increasing your grip and speed. Having tried it a few times, it feels odd at first but after a while you just 'get' it and you are noticeably quicker. And then there's "OOoooofff the brakes...", which I'm working on at the moment. What also surprised me was that some of the more advanced techniques he mentions I already do without thinking, which was rather pleasing and I'm sure many of you folks on here will read it and realise some of what you do is also the correct thing already. It's a really cheap read on e-book, and not exactly expensive in print either. You could do much worse than give this a read, you really could.

It's easier to make an E92 more hardcore than it is to make a 350Z more civilised.

I suspect it's because Japfest couldn't find their arse with their elbow.

I really wish the government would tighten up the purchase of houses. It should be that once the offer is made and accepted, BOOM that's it, no messing around. Sorry to hear of your woes fella

Only you can make that call really. I'm not keen on the 370 so my opinion isn't going to help you on that, but FWIW I don't think it's enough of a jump to warrant it. An E92 335i would be a much better shout, however you have higher running costs to consider on that one.

Yes, it's much better as you get the newer interior as well as another 1000rpm to play with which makes a huge difference to the drive. That said, I wouldn't move in that direction unless it was for relative peanuts. It's really not worth another few grand unless you have the spare cash.

Twenty six hundred you-ess dollars. Ouch.

Which is why it's always good to know the HC As long as it's done safely so they can't get you for careless driving, no issues at all. Smashing past at over the ton probably isn't a good idea though

Sorry, just realised I put passed on the right when I meant pass on the left. So yeah, 'undertaking', even though it's not. Also, it's called thread drift

It's not illegal, you just have to declare to your insurance that you've had an accident when they ask.

Sadly it won't work, as the bar codes are different on the proper tickets.

Just printed mine out first time from the original email, no idea what you lot are doing wrong

Good man It's a shame that these things don't self-police more, but you'll always get an idiot or two.

Hopefully someone called the police.

Exactly. If you say no then you've lied and you're in all kinds of trouble if you then have a proper accident and they start investigating. Like, y'know, searching the internet for stuff you've written about having a crash

It will still go through her insurance, he will just be on it as a named driver. If he's not then he was driving illegally, and I'd make a point of saying that's probably not a good thing if it gets out...

I just sit in lanes 1 & 2 and pass as I see fit. Most people can be passed on the right without breaking sweat.

Then may I humbly suggest not buying it.

Can't believe a genuine Nismo doesn't have Brembos.

T4 as well

Best case you get there too early and have a nap in your car. Worst case you're sat outside for an hour then denied entry because you're too late. 6am is a bit excessive though!

I'd do a P2, and then anything else it may need based on the age of the car (so possibly plugs etc).
