  1. The TCS is kicking in because the car wants to rotate, which is the rear axle trying to overtake the front. Simple answer is to slow down and realise that you're going too fast for the conditions, be that road, weather, car, or talent. The better answer is to not run mixed tyres at the same time. Have a read and decide for yourself. You're experiencing the randomness that mixed tyres can bring into the equation when pushing on, especially in the winter.
  2. So underrated, but so beautiful. That interior is simply brilliant.
  3. http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/interior/poorboys-natural-look-dressing/prod_328.html That's lovely stuff, it really is. I tend to use either AG trim gel on the exterior trim, or Megs tyre gel.
  4. My next question was going to be what was the best gig he's ever played
  5. What's the best gig you've ever been to?
  6. ZED Zee, indeed. Bloody Americanism!
  7. Agree. What I'd like is a cross between the CH interview with Chris Goodwin from McLaren with the technical stuff, and early TG where they crashed the cars into the brick walls and JC's car didn't have a working speedo.
  8. I enjoy a good technical conversation as much as I enjoy simpletons hooning round a track, indeed.
  9. Low?! They weigh under 900kg dry, 240bhp is plenty quick enough. Too much and you're hanging on rather than driving. That said, that chassis could probably handle a lot more but with the crappy suspension and slow-witted gearbox, you wouldn't want anything more anyway.
  10. Looks right to me. It's a good looking car that drives like @*!#, and everyone knows this so prices are falling.
  11. CH is now back on friendly terms with Maranello and Sant'Agata. And I want a car show. Actually, I want a car show like TG was for the first 4-5 years after the famous trio took over. That was ace.
  12. @Stu: On that sir, you have my complete agreement. What annoys me is that EJ does have some interesting things to say and certainly knows his onions, it's just that I want to punch him in the face whenever he opens his mouth.
  13. Rory Reid is hardly an average punter, he's already done TV presenting on Sky. That was a cop-out just to attract attention.
  14. No, I don't think that's the issue. As much as I normally hate on the exorbitant prices people put on the GT4, I genuinely believe that this one is a good price, especially as it's in GT4-only yellow AND the Nismo kit. A big part of the GT4 attraction is the wheels, and without them it does lose a lot. The rear lights are also a love or hate thing, but if you're wanting a limited edition car you're wanting it to at least look like one externally. Engine/suspension mods you'll probably live with or would do anyway, and to be fair you can get rear lights cheap enough, but the wheels are going to be quite expensive to source. Doesn't help that Cruize wheels are at the lower end of the market too, regardless of how well suited to the car they look. Get the right wheels and lights on there, and that would sell for over £10K easy. Hell, I'd be tempted at that price!
  15. Not Eddie c***ing Jordan Man, I hope he only has small chatting bits, else I'm going to want to throw the TV through the window.

    'STANG thread

    3.5/5 in Evo this month, in case anyone else was thinking they were going mad after reading that article a couple of weeks back! Mustangs have always been very tuneable, good to see that this one isn't any different. Hopefully be some good alternatives to the GT350 for UK folk
