  1. Yup.
  2. Kinda what I was thinking. I need to have a bit more of a look into this today, but in theory it seems a no brainer. However, you just know that the reason it exists is so that they can do away with the state pension at some point.
  3. Just buy a stock exhaust (if you don't still have yours) then swap it over before any trackday. 10 min job, even on a driveway, as long as you keep the bolts well lubed. Cheapest and easiest way by far.
  4. It's called 'just stopping posting'.
  5. True, but when the driver doesn't change then power is nothing without control. "First make it stop, then make it handle, then make it go." Old, but still true. And I'm talking about road driving more than track.
  6. So yes then. Also, how you managed to only get 270mi from a 335i is beyond me. I get 400 without trying on the 645!
  7. Great minds, my friend Would actually be a great little conversion, I reckon.
  8. Just sayin, yo.
  9. Decent set of tyres and brakes and you'll go much faster than the addition of 25bhp.
  10. Chuck it in an MX5.
  11. Glove box storage space.
  12. I DO NOT LIKE DONALD F***ING TRUMP

  14. Like I said, I don't agree with much of what he says. I can see why it's popular, though. It's the inevitable backlash of the modern day PC world, and now we've gone from the extreme where we can't raise the St George cross on St George's Day* to where it's okay to say that all Muslims are evil and need banning. People are like children: Tell them not to do something (i.e. vote Trump) and they're more likely to do it, just to spite people. For absolute clarity, I think the guy would make a terrible president and neither would I like to go drinking with him, as I think his views are wholly out of touch with a progressive modern society. However, I can also understand why some are voting for him in their droves. *I know it's a complete myth, but it's an easy example. Apologies for the laziness.
  15. Drive both, see which you prefer.
  16. That I'm less convinced on, tbh. He doesn't strike me as the kind of man who takes sage advice on board!
  17. It's true though. Also I don't think it's sexist at all, it's just a personal insult which either makes you despise the man for poor taste or love him for speaking his mind. We've all said things about other people we don't like that may well be in poor taste, but because we keep it between our friends then it's deemed okay. Because he says it out loud, suddenly it's incredibly offensive? Are we as two-faced as we deem him to be? I don't know. I know I'm coming over as a Trump-apologiser, and I really don't mean to be as I think he'd be an utterly dreadful world leader. I just find the situation fascinating. He's just an excellent public speaker who knows exactly who he's aiming at, and how to get results.
  18. Hang on, are you in the south east, Herts, or London?!?! :lol: Congrats on the purchase, welcome along!
  19. Personality wise yes, however he doesn't go into enough detail on how he wants to achieve his policies for me to give him my vote. If I had one, that is.
  20. That's why he has so much support, I think. People are voting for him simply because he's not like the others, and says some fairly obvious things. I don't disagree that some of his policies are borderline racist and pretty insane, but neither am I going to write the guy off as a complete nutter who has no idea what he's talking about.
  21. Flat, featureless, and a bit dull. However, it's usually very safe as it has tons of run off, facilities are good and the surface impeccable.
  22. Or has the pound weakened that much? Obama wanted power over money, hence he went into politics. He does seem a pretty genuine guy though, and I'd happily go for a beer with him, but at the same time I think he's just as shrewd as anyone. I'm not saying that Trump will make everything right, what I'm saying is that he won't stand for playing games and will simply shift people on if they don't agree with him. He's already shown that he's not afraid to say exactly what he thinks, even if that may cost him votes and popularity: Make no mistake, the banning Muslims and the Mexican wall thing were huge gambles for him, especially when it's so politically sensitive to suggest either. I'd argue the US is as divided as ever under Obama, especially when it comes to race.
  23. Even worse, they're auto turbos!
  24. So no GTR then?
