:lol: My poor little MX5 couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding, much less overtake anything

I reckon 200bhp/ton is quick, with 300+/ton getting on for rapid. Personal opinion, YMMV etc.

Personally I'd be looking at something different since you already have an EP3 there. New MX5 not tick any boxes? Beautiful looking car, easily modifiable, and a convertible for the summer days. If you can get one, a FRS will be a better car and hold value infinitely better.

^^^ Much better idea, however that doesn't cover off his servicing and warranty requirements. In theory I absolutely agree with you, I'd much rather buy something older but better, but I can see the attraction of a new vehicle.

So does mine, but it's still not the ticket Does your email not say "This email is confirmation of your order. Your club ticket(s) and vehicle pass(es) will be sent out prior to the event. Your club pack will be dispatched no later than two weeks before the event."?

I have the PDF too, but it's not the ticket.

I had the 911 on PCP. Essentially you're looking at paying £18K for the use of a new car, unless you decide to pay another £15K at the end to keep it. If you're happy with the sums then go for it, just work out when your break even point is so you can hand it back if you need to get out of it quickly. It's usually pretty close to the end of term anyway, but I'd certainly be haggling the numbers as low as possible still. I'm not convinced the CTR will be worth £15K in three years either, so if that's the case it would work massively in your favour just to hand it back and walk away. Are they available on regular lease deals at all?

Mine also just says that the tickets will be posted out. I made two separate orders too, over a month apart, and they both say the same.

Are you talking to yourself here?!

Dragged up scrotes is also an acceptable term I find No kids here either. It'll happen at some point, but no rush. I've still got too many things I want to do with my life before I start worrying about other people's. I get why a lot of people are saying that he should talk to his other half, but tbh if it's already at the point where he can't stand to be in the same room as her then I can't see that the relationship has any long term future at all. I'd be packing my bags, grabbing a four pack of beer and a subscription to Sky Sports as I left the house.

How did we get so far without saying ??!! I think our standards are slipping, gents.

I think it's a great idea. Put your energy where it's wanted, not where it's not.

I hope you Bridgestone guys mean the 050A, not the awful 040s... Try the PS4 mate, they're the latest and greatest although not replacing the MPSS, be interested to see what you think of them

It's quite surprising the number of people on here who seem to have to 'work' at their relationships. I'm not saying it's a bad thing at all, just that I didn't quite expect that many people (blokes especially) to own up.

I meant do you want to convert the rears to coilovers too. As stock they are separate dampers and springs. If you want to convert you need to consider strengthening of the rear mounting points. Do you just want the stock setup, but with adjustable dampers?

If you do, it's over. I can count on one hand the number of people who move out and then go back. But yes, I would leave. Work out any financials now before things get bitter (snakes with tits remains true, I don't care how sexist it is), and remind yourself that you're doing this so that things can get better for both of you. Not gonna lie, you'll probably spend a few evenings on your own crying yourself to sleep, but I can promise you that you'll be a happier and better person this time next year. If you ever need a sounding board from somewhere who's been where you are now, and I've some really fun stories about those dark days, then feel free to PM me mate. The offer is always there.

On a serious note though, end it and move on. You'll feel lonely and empty as hell at first, but it *will* get better and you'll be a happier person for it. Sticking together only makes two people more miserable, and life is too short for that. Sex isn't everything though, not by a long shot. She may have been exactly what you needed at that time in your life when you met her, but people change even if they don't mean to.

Welcome to marriage.

"The old lady was 98, so was well past her 'good innings' anyway!"

Ah, but then as the opposing legal counsel I would argue that the manufacturer knew your car had limited visibility due to it's sports car design, and so they put a wiper on there for that exact reason

That's my point: What if you reversed over an old lady because you couldn't see out of the rear screen?

Probably. However, would the ombudsman rule if your favour if there was a claim that went against you because you'd removed the wiper? Would you fancy your chances in court? Although as I said, I don't think I'd bother.

I jest! Personally no, even I wouldn't bother and I'm very anal about stuff like that. However, no harm in ringing them and asking the question, at least you know for sure then.

No such thing as a stupid question, only a stupid answer. So, bananas.

Actually, that's a really good idea about using a friend to practice overtaking. You could film it that way too, to see how your driving actually looks/sounds to others. I might well have to try that, that's superb, thanks!
