Oh god no, paint it black!

Ours too

Anytime matey

They’re decent enough tbh, certainly a solid mid-range option. I’d be happy to run them, put it that way.

The MO will be a slightly different compound to a regular one, but not so much as you’d notice. I’ve tried identical tyres in both N-spec (Porsche OE) and non N-spec, and I couldn’t tell any difference whatsoever.

FFS looks are irrelevant when it comes to tyres, they’re all bloody black!

Money no object for the best tyre: MPS4S Looking after the pennies and want a tyre that will last ages: MPS4S

No, if you want a V10 this is what you need...

May well be the same pads used between many vehicles, don’t be so quick to return them. Got a pic you can put up?

Is it not just an evolution of the VQ series? I remember seeing some guff about it taking things from the R390, but only in the same way the four banger in the A45 takes some inspiration from the lump in Lewis’ car i.e. not very much!

I’ve had to grind excess material from the non-friction material parts of pads before to get them to fit. It’s just manufacturing tolerances, nothing to worry about unless something really really doesn’t fit, or you feel that what you do to make it fit will cause a safety issue. Happens with genuine parts as well as pattern ones.

I’m making the most of having a great excuse for avoiding people I otherwise can’t

Well I’m bang on 40 so that’s me f*cked

We’ve had three confirmed cases at my place, I’ve been in direct contact with two of them and about 2/3 of my wing has/had symptoms. Yay!

Totally sarcastic post mate, just would be nice to see some of that gear in the prison too!

PPE? What’s PPE? Sounds fancy, like something they should have at our workplace too...

I did think that too, more than a hint of the Bmw-lite in there.

F*ck those mock ups by a bored student are ugly as sin. They’d be lucky to sell six if it looked anything like that. The baseball cap look is not a good one for cars.

Good call, forgot about that random one.

Also given the huge financial hit all car manufacturers are taking right now, I wouldn’t expect to see anything fun coming outside of the obvious any time soon.

So they need to make a car with an engine mated to a manual ‘box (where that engine currently isn’t offered with one that I know of if we’re hoping for the V6 twin Turbo Infiniti lump, happy to be proved wrong mind you) and for a price of about £40-43k. I cannot see it happening. Ever. Auto maybe, but still it’s pie in the sky and nothing more than wishful thinking.

Met him once, such a down to earth chap willing to talk about anything to do with cars and racing to absolute strangers. Will be sadly missed.

Dear god no.

Link???

That looks really smart, nice job mate
