  1. What do you have on the front? V12s aren't actually that bad, however assuming that conditions were good then yes, it's your right foot.
  2. Not many, aside from the obvious. They're too mass produced. I reckon the BRZ86 has a decent chance in about 30 years, assuming they don't do a successor. Think about it: A relatively light 2+2 RWD coupe, with a revvy engine and excellent fuel consumption. In the future of turbochargers and higher fuel costs and everything either FWD for cost or 4WD 'cos no one can drive for toffee, I reckon they'll be quite desirable.
  3. If no-one buys it, BT will have to sell the rights back to Sky and ITV and then we don't have to put up with sh*t coverage
  4. Should be fine, you've not altered the aspect of the ratio F to R by changing to 245/45 and 265/45 as opposed to 225/45 and 245/45 as stock. I don't think the OEM 245/45 look particularly bulbous, but each to their own on that one.
  5. Hell, I'll loan you the £200 myself if you don't have a credit card!
  6. It's only £200, chuck it on a card and deal with it next month. Better that than spend the next year running round on crap tyres.
  7. Don't be tight, it's the only thing keeping your car in contact with the road.
  8. It will, it would also make the ride more comfortable at the expense of immediacy from turn in.
  9. RAC for me too. I work on the basis that the bigger the company, the more likely they are to have a spare vehicle to come rescue me. Unless you're scraping on the floor, a regular low loader will be fine.
  10. That would be fine, as you keep the 20mm stagger. No need to go wider unless you really want to.
  11. Fair comment. However, if Sky stopped paying as much for the rights as they do and someone outbids them then fine, that's capitalism! If the money drops then the PL will survive on what they have, they're not going to suddenly go bust.
  12. Disagree. They had PL exclusivity for years, and the quality improved year on year without question. Prices were capped at a sensible level (anyone think that SS is too expensive? No? Me neither) that the market was happy with. If they had started playing silly buggers then no doubt the government/EU would have intervened, but they didn't. As far as I can tell, they've been nothing but 100% fair.
  13. It won't look anything like that. It'll look dull and crappy, so it can still appeal to the crusty old f*ckers that actually buy the Micra.
  14. In theory I agree, but everything Sky touches when it comes to sports turns to gold. Everything they've paid for they've improved coverage of tenfold, so competition by anyone else actually leaves the punter with an inferior product that they have to pay in addition for. Sky didn't suddenly drop their rates when they were told they couldn't have all the PL games in a season, all that happened was that the end user had to pay MORE to get access to everything they already had last season. That's my issue with this: Last year I had access to all CL games, now I have to pay at least £59.90 extra to watch them, and in poorer quality. In fairness that's because Sky/ITV didn't want to pay as much as BT did which is okay, I'm just still miffed. So yeah, I have two miffs: 1. When the EU tell a successful company that people love* that they can't be too successful, and the end user ends up paying more 2. When anyone other than Sky tries to do sports as well. You can't. You're all sh*t. Sky is just far too good for you, so sod off and leave the rest of us with quality programming. *Yeah, I know people have ethical issues with Sky/Murdoch, but in terms of quality of programming they're a mile apart from the rest when it comes to sport.

    You don't need breath testers any more, but do have the hi-vis INSIDE the car. Unless you're driving at night leave the beam deflectors in the cubby, but do have them in case you get stopped.
  16. You realise that that's not BT's fault, and that's exactly what Sky did with the PL to terrestrial TV? No-one's holding anyone hostage, it's a free market and you can choose to pay or not. I choose not to. If you have the internet, there's no need to pay BT to watch CL football. It's out there, you just need to know where to google.
  17. I am less puzzled now. Mixing tyres though...
  18. They're SUV tyres, why would you do that?
  19. No way I ever got 15k from the 050A! Used to get about 8k from the 050As, I'm already on 7k on the MPSS on a heavier car with no LSD and I'm being much more aggressive and I've barely touched them.
