  1. I prefer calling them selfbalancing scooters myself, as Hoverboards need to have a Mattel logo on them and actually hover over the ground I prefer to call them 'Chav-o-tastic Boards'.

    VDC off?

    It will intervene if it detects a certain amount of slip from the wheels. That exact figure I don't know, I'd guess around 3-5% from experience. In your example, you have to remember that weight transfer is key. In the CTR, if you go in to fast then all you do is understeer, as the wheels cannot turn and transfer all the power at the same time. To fix this, you simply lift off a fraction. In the Zed, if you enter too fast then the back end will overtake the front as that's where the power is coming from, assuming a steady or increasing throttle. My guess is that you braked/lifted as you entered the corner, and then got back on the power too early. This caused the rear end to light up, which the VDC quickly decided (rightly) was a bad idea and so cut power. Basically, and without sounding too patronising, you're going to have to learn how to drive! RWD isn't easy, especially if you've come straight from FWD. It does take time, and after a while yes, you will be able to go quicker with VDC off as you actually want the car to be in a neutral four wheel slide as you enter a corner, but if you're still finding the VDC kicking in unexpectedly then I'd be leaving it on for now. That said, in your specific case check the basics. What tyres & sizes do you have on? Pressures? Tread remaining? What geo are you running? Got the spare wheel still in? It might well be something fixable rather than your own skill.
  3. I don't even have a five day financial plan
  4. Radio by Robbie Williams, and more interestingly Ubuntu was first released in October 2004.
  5. Beautiful
  6. CTR is playing on past glories, the FRS is a genuine leap forward for modern hatches. You totally need one of those over the Honda

    I love cats more than I like most people. I can't see that changing just because said human happens to have the same genes as me.

    Pics?
  11. Like part of Ripley's ship.
  12. Erm, he bought an M3...
  13. See, if it was me that's the one case in which I wouldn't. I'd be proud to own the car that looked like a Nismo but wasn't actually pretending to be one. Leave it naked my friend!
  14. Even Nissan themselves admit that Nismo is as much a styling exercise as it is performance these days (GT-R excluded), so if the brand is diluted that's their own fault. It's exactly like what Vauxhall did to the VXR brand by putting it on a bloody Meriva and Zafira.
  15. Grundy loves R6S.

    Yeah, because any one is ever going to admit to hating their kids Social services might be watching
  17. No, but you can put one on your forehead
  18. Also, it looks as much like D*ck Side Z as it does Dark Side Z
  19. Space it properly, please.
  20. Depends. If you've got Nismo parts on, and don't put the Nismo badge in the same place as the genuine Nismo car, then I say go for it. Nismo is as much about styling as performance these days anyway, so might as well do as Nissan does.
  21. And daydreaming about holding his very own cutesy little baby-waby lol Where's that FU smiley when you need it... ;)
  22. Drinking. Lots of it.
  23. You're right, it is a bit of a contradiction. That said, I still say mankind would be better off by a country mile without faith.

    Definitely not me! I don't get the fuss, I really don't. Like when you go round someone's house who's just had a baby, and they're all like "Ahh, do you want to hold our baby?". When I reply that I'm okay, they normally go "Oh go on, it's okay, you won't hurt the little one, I'll show you how to hold properly!" as if I'm secretly petrified that I'll drop the slug or something. No, I'm perfectly capable of holding the product of his feeble man-paste and her lack of leg-closing ability, I just really don't feel the urge to thanks. I've sold no such thing! The Bummer is sticking around, it's the MR2 I've sold. And it doesn't mean that it won't be replaced.
