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.

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.

Even worse, they're auto turbos!

So no GTR then?

Tell you what though, I can't imagine things *not* getting done with him in charge. He's from a business world not a political one, so if someone isn't doing exactly what he says then that person will be out the door. I'm not saying that that would necessarily be a good thing, but it would shake the system up. At the moment the US, even more so than here, play fast and free with politics to get them to where they want to be, rather than what they actually believe in. Interesting times ahead.

Interesting bit on the P90D in Car magazine this month. The car projected a 120 mile range on the trip computer, but only gave them a 75 mile range on a motorway commute. Genuine question now: If the batteries are improving in size, does it not take longer to charge them?

Part of me really does want him to win, just so I can see the reaction from all the liberal lefty hand wringers. It'll be just like when then Tories got back in, but even worse!

Everyone loves a Morgan!

I so hope Trump wins, I really do.

Where's the whoosh parrot when you need him?

I think someone has swapped your I and A keys around mate.

Project LWOWTROATLATCTTOCEPAMARAATAMAIVA. Sounds Lithuanian to me. Bloody Europeans!

Ah, bugger Typical DVLA! Actually, looks like you can't download it any way as you need to put a new photo with it. Could (walk ) to the Post Office and pick one up?

Unless you've sent the completed forms off, you really don't meet that criteria at all mate. Not being a pain here (well, no more so than usual!) but I honestly wouldn't be driving unless I had a written letter from the DVLA confirming that they are happy for you to do so. You risk being uninsured too, which is arguably a bigger risk than just being done for not driving in accordance. You can download the forms from the interweb, get it sent off today then you're covered

Nope, never shred anything. Don't own a tin foil hat, either. Interesting about the DVLA saying you're okay to drive, that only applies if you've actually already applied for the new one: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/458792/INF188X6_221014.pdf

If your plastic one is out of date, you cannot drive until you've been issued a new one. To do so is to drive other than in accordance with a licence, and gives hefty points and a fine. I threw my paper bit away last year.

The title is Greatest Drives. No chance a diesel E46 is a Greater Drive than a 360CS. Not even close. This is why no-one takes Auto Express seriously any more, and hasn't done for years. Well, that and the ridiculous 'artist impression scoop' stories they run all the time. Come on, blinkers off, you don't think that's even a tiny bit odd? Good god, that 330Cd is six places higher than an M3 CSL, which is superior in every single way unless you really must get 40mpg. No-one's arguing that the 350Z isn't a great car. What I am saying is that that list is an utter load of tosh.

Almost goes without saying

Do a Bruce Willis in Harlem. Probably best to make your own sandwich board when you're there, shipping one over would be a right pain.

I don't care what name is on the front. That is an absolute load of rubbish, that list. Go on then, BMW diesel or one of the greatest V8 Ferraris ever? Tell me I'm wrong.

Any magazine that genuinely places an E46 330d over a 360CS clearly has zero idea what they're talking about. Completely ridiculous. You'd rather have a Mini than an Exige, or a WR1, or an FQ330? No. No-one in their right mind would.

Is it the best? No. Is it bloody well good enough? Damn right. Handling is very subjective though, and a good driver in a Clio will leave a poor driver in a Zed for dead. That said, a good driver in a 350 will leave a poor driver in a GT3 for dead too, as Doc perfectly shows above

Not me, I only do 60
