  1. What fast food doesn't? It's the only time a KFC is considered tasty For me, it has to be a large mixed kebab, with lashings of chilli sauce, huge pot of salad with extra chillies (but hold the cucumber), and another tub full of roasted peppers, onions and mushrooms. Give me about 2-3 breads to fill up with it, and I'm a happy man.
  2. You can do that now on MGSV, it happily allows for both play styles. Also, don't buy a PS4 just yet, a price cut is widely expected next month.
  3. It is, and it isn't. I don't think it's the kind of car you fall for straight away, and neither do I think it would be half as good if it was an auto. It's not light, it's not small, and it's a bloody silver BMW so it doesn't exactly stick out! However, it's got real depth. The chassis is superb, giving feedback as you want it, and in sport mode the steering is perfectly fine. It's not great, but it's good enough for me and I'm a bit fussy! The engine doesn't rev very high, just 6.5K, but it's lovely and smooth and with the right exhaust it's a nice grumbly V8. You have to learn to drive round the soft suspension, but if you get the fancy pants dynamic drive one then you don't, as that's bang-on in terms of sportiness. Get it right and the nose turns in a treat, and you can feed just enough power in to get the rear sliding. The gearbox is a peach, arguably second best I've tried behind the MX-5, so well worth sourcing a manual. Yeah, I really like it. The looks aren't to everyone's taste and the interior is 'functional', but as a grand coupe I think it's tough to beat for the cash. Dirty great V8, 2+2 coupe, manual 'box... It's a bit like a modern TVR that won't fall apart.
  4. Gotcha Tbh I wasn't really planning on doing anything at all, it was supposed to be a cheap toy until I got something better, but I've fallen in love with it a bit so it kinda felt right to improve it as best I can.
  5. If the car is in the wrong lane, then so is the bike. The bike isn't actually in a lane, he's between cars waiting to go in their respective lanes. Why did he feel the need to pull across from where he was correctly waiting, to alongside the Evo? He's on a bike, he should be taking the space of a car at a junction, not hiding between vehicles. I'm really trying not to come across as anti-bike here, as clearly the Evo was being the bigger knobhead out of the two, but there was simply no reason for the bike to filter through there. If he hadn't, and then made damn sure he was clear of the Evo by getting out of the blocks quick, would the Evo have binned it? Probably not, I feel. Now, I'm not a biker, so o don't know their part of the HC. If I'm wrong here and the HC says that bikes should filter through to the front at a junction like that, please tell me so I stop digging myself a hole!
  6. Yup, I have Magic and Smooth as my other two main stations, along with Absolute when the signal is okay.
  7. Filtering from the wrong lane? Legal yes, idiotic as well. He saw that Evo, and thought he'd have a bit of it. I don't care what he says, there was no need for him to pull over right next to it unless that was his plan.
  8. "Geoff, get the pack of sticky bugs, I can still see Tarmac!"
  9. Cheers bud I've not felt this excited about kidding a car since, well, the 350. Surprised, go on, in what sense?
  10. Scott Mills was funny 10 years ago when he first started. Not any more, not for many years. Never heard of the other guy.
  11. Might help if the Veyron wasn't in handling mode as well...
  12. Grimshaw is an utter bellend. I can't fathom why anyone listens to him. Also, how is Scott Mills still on the air?
  13. Sara Cox was pretty good when she stood in for Chris Evans the other week, I thought. Good rapport with the rest of the team, and she seems so much more likeable these days. I'd rather her than Ken Bruce, he bores the pants off me. Steve Wright too, nowhere near as interesting as I'd like. Fern and Jo are irritating as hell though, agreed.
  14. Radio X, basically XFM rebranded. Radio 2 FTW.
  15. Or the wonderful smell of stinky diesel when you fill up at the pumps.
  16. It sounds like a tractor. I don't care how quick it is.
  17. Because idiot. My issue is why they were both in the wrong lane for the roundabout. Bike saw the Evo and pulled over just to gun it past him, Evo gave chase because tiny willy. Like I said, both idiots.
  18. Both idiots.
  19. If they do, they're not a bank I'd be staying with.
  20. eBay dude, you can pick these up for like a fiver now. I got one the other week
  21. RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN Waaaaaay too many flags there for me.
  22. Ladies and gents, I believe we have our 2015 Weirdest Thread Of The Year winner right here.
  23. 10 mins seems excessive to get any coolant temp in, but then that depends on how cold it is I guess. I'd expect a short drive of a few miles to at least see the needle moving.
