You’ve had a BRZ, try something different

Why are so many people watching adverts still? I can’t remember the last time I saw one on normal telly.

Put it this way, best not to sit on any seats after me as you’ll probably end up pregnant.

Four months on, I know have this cutie: And in six months... Child no2 is on the way!

Thing is, people should be telling these people to their faces that they’re utter idiots, and not just posting on BookFace. “Good afternoon sir, is it just the 7000 toilet rolls for you today?” ”Yes thank you, can’t be too careful!” ”You’re a f*cking idiot and I’m not serving people that stupid in case I catch Stupid from you. Have a nice day!”

Shame, but not unsurprising tbh.

She’s a kid who’s never had to live in the real world. Her goal is fine, no issues there, but it’s not realistic so it’s become a religion more than anything. Her patronising tone of voice appeals to the young, but does nothing for those who can actually make a change. That’s her biggest issue, ultimately she wants to be popular like any child.

Everyone knows NFSU was the king of the NFS games.

I always used to call the unit in my old VXR a blower rather than a heater too!

All the cool kids own(ed) E6x cars with a V8

I bought my 911 without ever driving it, and my VXR without seeing it or ever having driven one!

Well I wouldn’t buy them, put it that way.

You’d have to send them adverts proving that you’d need more money to be able to replace the car, but remember to take 10-15% off the advertised price to allow for haggling as this is expected. Wait and see what they say, might not be as bad as you think

Horses for courses. I loved the PDK in the Porker, but nothing can match the feeling of your own perfectly-blipped downchanges with a stick. I’d rather go slower and be more involved these days. It does depend on the car though. For example, I wouldn’t buy a manual Rolls Royce, but I wouldn’t buy a DCT Mini either. My old 645 was transformed just by being manual, but I wouldn’t consider a modern 911 without paddles tbh.

Yup, and it's bone stock toyed with the idea of changing all the suspension out for adjustable stuff, or getting the BBR 200bhp NA kit, but honestly it would just change the character too much and make it less usable on a daily basis. I like the fact it's very forgiving and not that quick in a straight line, makes you work harder for it and rewards accurate driving.

For some, that's also the appeal. There's a lot to be said for not standing out from the crowds always. For me personally, I see the TT as an absolutely fantastic every day car that does everything so very well, but maybe it's not as good as that special weekend car. Well, unless it's the RS of course. That's pretty much how I view my current MX5, too. It sits just behind the 911 as the best all-rounder that I've ever owned, but it's never going to give you that extra little bit that makes you smile as you start it up every day. Certainly not in stock form at least, but that doesn't mean I don't love it and thoroughly enjoy extracting every last bit of performance from it on a fun drive.

True, I do buy ugly cars, I mean I bought a VX and the ragtop 350

Oi, leave the Dadstra alone you!

These days anything modern can keep with with other modern stuff on the fun roads, that’s been proven time and time again now I think. I’d rather have something slow, fun and rewarding that I can push rather than something silly fast that you’re always holding back on as it’s too dangerous to push that hard.

Depends on how you were detected, which force, how they process the data etc. Impossible for anyone to tell you with any certainty tbh. But come on, ‘fess up: What speed in a what zone?

If automated means of speed detection ie camera, then they must send you the NIP within 14 days. If caught by a person and stopped at the roadside, it’s six months to lay it before a court as them stopping you counts as the NIP.

I don’t believe it will happen personally. Eventually yes, but that’s way too soon. At the moment I believe it’s lip service paid to the Greta Thunberg Fan Club for political reasons, nothing more.

The four cyl version has been around since the launch, and the more powerful version is US-only due to Euro6 regs.

Ironically my old Zed is probably the least favourite of all the fun cars I’ve owned, but it’s in high company so that’s not a slight on it at all. Only jap cars I’d currently look at is the ND MX5 and the GT86. Nothing else is remotely interesting to me at sensible price points.

The OEM sat navs are dreadful, please don’t do this. You’ll hate it and keep using your phone anyway!
