  1. I didn't even mention Salmond, nor anything about Boris and Dave. My point was about Sturgeon's choice of words now she's on the other side of an in/out referendum.

    Did you even read the question??
  3. Partially, yes. He has nothing to lose by taking his standpoint in that regard. Sturgeon didn't stand against Salmond though. Salmond had to step down as he lost the referendum and out his career on it, Sturgeon was the Deputy so just stepped up. And oh look! Salmond is now back anyway, creepy little f*cker.
  4. I was thinking on the way into work this morning (I know, a rarity) about any parallels between what politicians on both sides of the Scotland vote said, and what they're saying now. Sturgeon is an interesting one here. She was firmly on the Out side in the Scotland vote, but is committed to the In side on the EU vote. This can make for some particularly odd reading of her speeches, when you look back at them! For example, here is a link to her final speech before the Scottish referendum itself: http://www.scotrefer...ore-referendum/ Now clearly some arguments she makes for independence do not translate directly to the battle for an In vote for the EU, but look how she constantly says that it's much better to be able to decide your own future than rely on others. This is the opposite of what she's campaigning for now! Now, I actually stand with her in the EU vote, but even so it's this kind of double-standard back-tracking politics that make me dislike the woman so much. She wants everything both ways, and she'll use her diminutive yet passionate speaking talents to convince people. There's very little substance to her, but she's an excellent public speaker who gives off an air of dignity. I cannot fault her for that, but it's things like this that are worth remembering for the future. No real reason behind my post, I just find this kind of analysis of political coercing to be of interest. It would be equally as interesting to see comments from someone like Boris, who campaigned for the UK to stay together but wants us now to leave the EU.

    I've put part worns on before. No issues at all, as long as you use common sense.
  6. That bit, you mean? Sorry, I hate selective quoting. I should've been more precise in the exact part I was replying to, I apologise.

    I'm married. I have no idea if it still works or not, no chance of ever finding out

    We? Speak for yourself!
  9. BMW have some really decent stuff in their merchandising range. I've not seen the quality up close, but it's arguably better in styling and design than the Porsche catalogue.
  10. The engine I have yet to be convinced on. However, it should be (utterly) epic.
  11. Nope, correct procedure as per the HC is to remain in your lane. No issues at all with passing slower traffic on the left. Rule 268 of the HC: "Do not overtake on the left or move to a lane on your left to overtake. In congested conditions, where adjacent lanes of traffic are moving at similar speeds, traffic in left-hand lanes may sometimes be moving faster than traffic to the right. In these conditions you may keep up with the traffic in your lane even if this means passing traffic in the lane to your right. Do not weave in and out of lanes to overtake." As long as you don't change lanes to undertake, it's perfectly fine.
  12. Probably as many times as you've spent the GDP of a small country on modding a car, only to sell it the next day :p I actually didn't realise I said it that much. It's a good word to use though!

    Potenza, Toyo, Falkens... Which ones? That's like me saying I drive a BMW, doesn't actually tell you anything useful.

    That happens with age.
  15. It's hideous. Utter mess of a design, externally anyway. The inside is nice.
  16. I affectionately call it the Bummer
  17. 13.6secs to 300km/h is just utterly mesmerising. A P1 takes over 16secs to do the same...
  18. Write a letter stating the facts. Include that you don't think it's fit for purpose, and explain why. Make sure you ask for the refund. Be clear and concise. Give them both letter and car, and all the keys. Ask for the refund. They will likely say no. Go home, fire up the interweb and start a claim here. Follow the process through. You may have to attend court. Job's a carrot.

    Like I said, each to their own to read and decide. I even said in that thread that the car won't suddenly crash and burn, it's just more likely to behave unpredictably when you least expect it.
  20. No, you will get the value of the px back as well, if not the actual car. Yes, you will be car less until then. Hence why you need to act quickly and decisively.

    As I said, they'll keep making the OEM size tyres until then.

    Not any more, even a light spec C2S is over £100K. Ironically it's not the prices of the fun stuff that bothers me, it's the sheer lack of availability. I know for a fact that people already have LOIs in for the GT4RS, and the 991.2 GT3 and RS models.
