  1. Dude, the title of the thread has SPOILER in it, I think it's safe to assume people will know not to click unless they've seen it! Yeah, Poe needs a bigger part/explanation I think. I genuinely didn't mind how Han died, but then I was never attached to him in the way many SW fans are: For me, he was just a guy, and Luke was always the proper hero. Also, I reckon Rey could turn out to be proper evil. She was f*cking psycho when going mental at Kylo Ren at the end, just like Anakin was when he went after Obi Wan...
  2. Just left the cinema. It was good, really good, but I feel a bit empty tbh. - It basically made 4-6 completely pointless, and pretended they didn't exist. - It's essentially an identical story to 4. Big bad enemy owns the galaxy ruled by evil ugly bad guy we never meet, his bad apprentice has a big red sword and is related to one of the good guys, they make a big floating weapon to destroy the uprising, and random youngster from a desert planet saves the world. Yawn. - You could see someone getting killed a mile off. Mid way through I thought to myself it was either going to be Han or Chewie, but as soon as Han stepped onto the bridge that was as clear as day. - I'm glad they did kill Han off, Ford is really getting on as an actor and the role didn't suit him at that age. Legend, but it was the right call. - The next film really needs to be a prequel. There's so much we need to know: Who is Rai, why did people take her family, what really happened between Luke & Kylo Ren, how did the First Order suddenly get so powerful, how did the Republic end up useless again, why did a droid decide to go into safe mode and not speak for god knows how many years, did no-one notice ever that R2 had a handy chunk of map missing with a handy course already laid in...? Sooooo many plot holes, I'm just trusting in the vision that the next two films will cover this all off, otherwise we've just watched The Phantom Menace pt2. - It took Anakin years of study to master the Force, it took Luke a few weeks/months with the greatest Jedi Master ever, but Rai went from not knowing the Force at all to using mind tricks and force pull in a few hours? Really?! - Surely, she has to be Luke's daughter. The young leads were excellent, very well cast and superbly acted. The scene where the X-Wings come in over the water was a tingly-spine moment, and later on when it went all first-person from the cockpit was just amazingly well shot. It was a proper JJ Abrams film, the angles and set pieces were as good as I hoped. The comedy was a bit overdone perhaps, but most of it worked well I think and I say that as someone who didn't really enjoy the funny bits in 4-6. I need to watch it again, but for me it was missing *something*. I can only hope that it all becomes clear in the next films.
  3. Fair enough then, solves that issue Tbh I've never even heard of those tyres, much less ever considered putting them on a sports car.
  4. No harm in both.
  5. You wouldn't want that engine anywhere near a road car. Tbh, you wouldn't want it anywhere near a racecar either!
  6. Even better then, just pop the wheel off and run it down to them
  7. Almost certainly, the OSR looks backwards to me. Drive with *extreme* caution (like 30mph max) to the tyre place, and get them to sort.
  8. As I said on FB, if it does then the 300bhp would be the perfect choice. Drop the weight of the car, problem solved. What's a list lump btw?
  9. Probably
  10. Nope, that's the slave/master issue. It won't boil just sitting in traffic, it just seems like that's the cause. It's because the seal is on its way out, and the constant use in traffic exacerbates the wear. Get them both changed ASAP.
  11. the trouble with that is - on the whole you need to give a genuine contact number for a supplier ? If they're a reputable company then they can have my proper number, but for stuff like getting random insurance quotes I always use fake details, and the house next door to me for the address part. Once I know who I need to look for to get proper quotes, then I can be selective about the details I give out.
  12. Or you could just put a fake number in, like 01234 567890. Job done. At least, that number doesn't belong to anyone I know! Juggalo's idea is ace though!
  13. No. Just no. Sorry mate, but they don't even fit properly, look at the join where the line of the bonnet down the wing meets the top of the eyelid. I maintain that they look cheap and nasty, and are a dreadful throwback from the last decade and 'bad boy' bonnets. That said, as long as you like them that's all that matters though!
  14. The 650S and the 575 Superamerica would beg to differ.
  15. Tbh, that looks better than proper eyebrows on a Zed does.
  16. I'll be driving the fleet like I do the rest of the year.
  17. Your slave or master cylinder is more than likely on the fritz, not the spring. Very common issue, change them both before you get stuck.
  18. "It's a bit slow mate, got anything quicker?"
  19. Must be dealership specific then, the excess on the F cars I've driven has only been £500. Porsche excess is £200, and BMW only wanted a piffling £50 if I pranged an M3!
  20. Once again a lovely place to be, as long as you can't see the exterior. Merc have lost the plot with their exterior design of late.
  21. No, you're absolutely right, if looks were a priority then I would've gone with 20"s on there. Truth is the old wheels were shot and needing refurbing completely, and they were ugly as sin too so I used this as an excuse to get something that looked better. The fact I've still dropped weight at each corner at the expense of the wheels sitting slightly further under at the rear means I've gained performance, and for me that was the most important thing. I'd have loved to get a set of the M6 ones, but they are just ridiculous money and I'd have needed new tyres all round too.
  22. It odd, every time I see a pic I think the same thing but in the flesh they look fine. The rears don't even look that much tucked under either!
  23. #needsspacers I love that shot, I really do.
  24. Wouldn't bother me either. In reality, if a spacer is good enough for the road then it's good enough for a road car on track.
  25. http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/news/parts-and-accessories/2011-08/slime/ That's the correct link.
