Because you're pushing harder, and mistakes do happen quicker at high speed.

It's not my own driving I'm worried about. It's other people. As per the recent thread in PH SP&L, one idiot can write your car off incredibly easily.

Han Solo dies. Oh, not that kind of spoiler...

*nods wisely*

I'll end up in a ditch next week now, you wait and see.

You may want to get it now or not at all, there's very few people playing right now as it is (PC version is practically dead) so if you wait too much longer you'll only see empty lobbies. It does look like huge fun, but I know I'd get bored within a week. The only FPS that's kept me interested in the last few years was Titanfall. That was a blinder of a game.

One man's lack of control is another man's perfectly executed four wheel slide But yeah, don't be a knob around other drivers. That's just silly.

Slidey car weather time, yay! :D This is kind of weather that sorts the men from the boys. I love it, I really do. There is nothing like the challenge of keeping a good pace in changeable conditions, it's so much more fun than flat out in the dry. It's not about driving like a knob though, it's about control.

Agreed. If you actually believe the stated figures for diesel MPG, you're as much of a mug as the EU tests suspect you are.

No ships in this one, just carriage rides which are actually far more fun than I thought they would be.

FFS can people stop dying please

Yes, that's absolutely correct. As long as it's marked for 97RON or higher, you have absolutely no risk whatsoever. Any choice you make after that as to which brand you go with is purely a financial one. Or who gives you the most points on your clubcard

Meh, who cares? I hope they all cheated, it's the system that's stupid not the manufacturers.

*unfriends*

Okay, I can't find the actual route I took as I did have to edit it slightly on the fly anyway, but this was my plan: https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=zzC6a6zGdH_o.k5qpKT6dKHXI&msa=0 The roads into the Sierra Nevada are massively worth doing, as is the road into Ronda. There's a little squiggly bit too just after that, again that was put in for a reason I can definitely recommend sticking with the road to Girona once on the N260, it's one of those roads you never really want to end. I know you said that Gib doesn't interest you, but it's a really quaint place to visit if you can find the time. Plus, monkeys! Worth a divert into Portugal if you've never driven it before, I'm gutted I don't have the exact route to hand as there was a stunning dam just near the border that was epic to drive over. As you go past Zamora, go east towards Toro. There you'll find the Hotel Valbusenda, which is simply the most amazing place. It has it's own winery on site, the rooms are amazing, but the food is absolutely out of this world. Unless you have another place to stay that you're sure is better, then you MUST stay there. When you're that far north, the Europas are so close that you probably should take a peek. I didn't get there due to a bout of acrophobia, but I've no doubt they're stunning. The northern coast road isn't as exciting as you'd hope, certainly not after the beauty that is the south. Tbh though I loved it all, it's my favourite driving country and everyone is so friendly. You'll love every second of it, I still need to go back again myself one day.

How many days is the trip for? I can go dig out my old route, I know there's some great roads on there further south if you'd like to try them. Also, on the route north there's an incredible hotel you simply MUST stay in, it's absolutely beautiful and really not that pricey at all.

Assassin's Creed. You really must.

I'd love to try AD08s back to back with MPSS.

You get to pick the fitter, that's the beauty of it. I used my local Halfords as it was the easiest place to get to, and a nice big company to complain to if anything does go wrong

Bit of duct tape and that'll T-cut right out

Now these cars are getting older, always buy on condition NOT on mileage.

It's not perfect, but it's a hell of a lot better than that god-awful monstrosity of a Q60. I just don't like the wide-mouth-frog grill, but from the side profile it's stunning.

That's where I got mine from last time round, utter bargain.

That's a completely different branch though. It's like saying don't use Tesco in Glasgow as the one in Dartford had some out of date lettuce on the shelf. To balance it up, I always used GH in Bishop's Stortford for all the work on my old car, and they were flawless. Great customer service too, especially when I was being awkward and asking for things out of the ordinary.
