And this, ladies and gents, is why storming over and smashing the guy's teeth out would've been a moronic thing to do.

0-60 in under three seconds and all for just £90K wrapped up in a big bodyshell with 4WD is impressive. It's just a shame that the GT-R has been doing that trick for a while now, for £12K less. That buys A LOT of petrol.

Really? I'm not shocked at all, it was a horrendous accident and he was lucky to survive as long as he did. RIP Jules.

True, however that's not what I said.

Good cars always are.

Without stating the obvious or sounding like a parrot, almost certain it's the tyre.

They're a little bit better than what you can buy off eBay But you're right, they're really not very useful at all unless backed up with people on the ground using the mk1 eyeball to confirm.

I'm totally the black guy in that

Drive it like you stole it.

*high five*

I bet the shemale one was your favourite. Filth!

It's impossible to read that without hearing it in Luke's voice. Same as if I tell you that this was written by Morgan Freeman. I bet now you're reading the rest of this, in his voice, with the pauses he leaves. Oh yes.

That's 'cos you're a 'tard who read it wrong

Don't be mis-quoting me, you young ragamuffin!

Even in the day, at a distance it's going to be mighty hard to be sure it's him. Unless he has a green mohican or something, or just the one leg.

DBS? Interesting, likely to be a mobile chicane more than anything but worth it for the noise alone

Bad advice. Even if the footage was good enough to prove it was him, there's no such thing as a 100% win in court. All it takes is to get the wrong person on the wrong day after the night before and you can lose. The camera footage would have to be excellent (as in broadcast quality) to get a win IMHO, I've seen it happen too many times before. The CCTV should act as a deterrent, not as your proof to take him to court. If he scratches it at night, wears a coat, the sun is in the wrong direction etc then that footage will be useless.

Well, now I really want to watch it.

*grabs coat*

I've never seen 300.

Depending on driving style, but I'm expecting to get 15-20K out of the ones on my BMW. Certainly that would tally up with the usage I've seen on other cars. Obviously sliding around a lot will reduce that, and a lot of pootling around on the motorway will extend it.

Think I went for a stiffer rear, but then I like my cars oversteery and I had a hell of a lot of other bracing on as well which affected just how much the ARBs changed the drive. I'd certainly start with your settings, you can always change them easily enough to suit your own style

MPSS definitely aren't soft, they're actually quite hard which makes it more surprising that they offer so much feedback and grip. Look at it this way: They may cost you an extra 20%, but you'll get 40% more life out of them and that's ignoring any performance benefits. Any way you look at it, that's a great deal, and that's why even people who normally think I'm mad have been converted to these things. How much is a set of decent wheels, £1500? Now add on the cost of the tyres, lets say £800, you're looking at a total spend of £2300. Make those tyres MPSS and it's £2500, which isn't even 10% extra, and when you're spending that kind of money are you even going to notice another couple of hundred quid? Sure, it's man maths at its finest, but there's also a horrendous amount of sensible logic in there too.

Don't you mean droplinks?

If the droplinks are brand new, I wouldn't bother changing them either. You don't need them if the car's not been lowered (I didn't on my old car). The ARBs will make a huge difference, promise you that.
