  1. I call them traffic wombles
  2. Been stopped once for doing 104mph average over a 1/4 mile and was let off with 3pts. Massive brownie points for the copper that day. Been stopped once because he thought I was speeding (I wasn't) as I entered a roundabout, and he still pulled out in front of me. Massive knobcheeseface points for the copper that day. Swings and roundabouts.
  3. Because one had been designed properly for that reason! I'd drive any car sans helmet with a cage, half or not, if I was comfortable that my head wouldn't touch it in an accident.
  4. I actually managed to convince my old man today that leaving would be a bad idea. He's as UKIP as they come, so if I can succeed with him I can succeed with anyone!
  5. Structural part of the car, or bit of tubing knocked up in a shed?
  6. And doesn't go round a corner anywhere near as well as an M5, let alone a Cayman.
  7. Aliveboy knows his stuff, I'd be happy wrapping harnesses around the rear strut bar too.

    Oops!!

    That's halved the value of the car.
  9. Ultimately the market is economy driven, and people just want the cheapest stuff (for the most part, there are of course exceptions). No-one buys British now, they just buy the cheap tat or they moan at the price, that won't change regardless. Except more people moaning because everything is more expensive, not just the British goods
  10. But if it costs us £500m to leave in lost trade and taxes, then the NHS is actually worse off.
  11. Handling and EV do not currently go together. A 2 ton barge isn't my idea of handling I feel no excitement for an electric dragster.
  12. Surely it has to be though: As a petrolhead, I see no attraction in a car that makes no noise and has no oily bits to fiddle with.

    0 - 60 mph..

    Get the roof down now, the heater is fine in the Zed!
  14. You want two now?! Greedy!
  15. How is leaving the EU going to help the NHS? To any meaningful degree, I mean. Once we're out, we're staying out. Going back in would never be an option, not in my lifetime.
  16. Ah hang on... https://www.zap-map.com/statistics/ Charging points in the UK as of 2016: 3845 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2264588/75-petrol-stations-40-years-forcing-drivers-travel-pay-tanks.html Not even close. Petrol stations in the UK as of 2013: 8600
  17. Good find, cheers Flex. Still can't see any direct comparison numbers, but the charge points are definitely out there in big numbers.
  18. Exactly right. You'll be hard pressed to find something to sit lower, but they're usually not that much higher either. You mention about your size, regardless of big or small you MUST go and try some to see what's comfortable rather than what physically fits. Do somewhere like DT or GSM and just plonk yourself down across multiple seats, it's not always the case that the expensive ones are more comfortable .
  19. That bit didn't apply to the outdoor arena, hence why I deleted it as it wasn't relevant.
  20. Which are? EDIT: Not picking on you particularly, just trying to start a debate more than anything.
  21. Where? EDIT: As in, where on the website does it say that?
  22. Where? I can see where it offers tickets for 10 or over, but not a stand.
  23. That's Waxstock, which is meant for detailers and trade people to have stands on, not car clubs.
