  1. They're awful, aren't they? They're on crossply tyres, which is why I think they're gash to drive but even so you'd have thought something that old should be relatively fun to chuck around. I hate them, I've finished that championship now thank god. And why would I want to change the FF per car? That should be in the main options and set permanently, not having to use up precious practice and qualy time faffing with it before you can get it sorted. And for some bizarre reason the game sometimes decides to set the gear final ratio to minimum, so if you don't check you end up with 800bhp and a top speed of 98mph
  2. Actually, the way Labour themselves have handled this defeat has been very impressive. They've been honest, open, and respectful. They've admitted their shortcomings and where they got it wrong, and are looking to see how they can get that right next time. That can only be good for everyone, because without a strong opposition no government can be taken to task.
  3. If you look at the Digital Foundry comparison vid, both PS4 and Xbone very rarely touch 60fps, most of the time it's closer to 45fps and 30fps with lots of cars and rain. Xbone drops more often (well, so it should!) but neither are great. Truth is, they over-reached and under-delivered on the consoles. In happier news, I sorted out the handling on the 190E last night and I lowered the difficulty back down to 50, and all's good again. I guess I'm just very good with the Formula Junior cars, but not very good with everything else
  4. You guys are just going to the wrong ones, I'm sure of it. I had nothing but good service and fair pricing from my local one.
  5. It's buggy as hell, that's for sure. Zero excuses for this after the delays, it's simply not good enough and proof why crowd funding doesn't work when you've got stuff this ambitious. I was really enjoying this until tonight. Formula Junior is great fun, ramped the difficulty up to 80 and it was just challenging enough, especially in the wet. Then got invited to a couple of historic races... Well, what the hell?! The Escorts have absolutely no grip at all, they're awful to drive no matter what you do. I don't expect them to be pin sharp, but they shouldn't be that bad. Then I got some 190 action, and that seems to be crap too: Slow, understeery rubbish. The 190 thing is odd, as I was playing online with that last night and it was fine, that was my first go with it and I had no issues adjusting at all. When this game is good, it's stunning. When it's not, it's as bad as anything I've ever played.

    I suspect Tarmac Sportz will be able to help you out here
  7. I read the title, and immediately thought of the Nelson Mandela joke. I still love that one
  8. Scum. They wouldn't be calling for change if they'd had the result go their way, I suspect. Or maybe they'd like it is the SNP had a handful of seats and UKIP had won 80+ seats? Somehow, I suspect not, especially when Tory and UKIP combined to rule all.
  9. Another one joins my church of awesome tyres, hallelujah brother!
  10. It does say that, promise. Look, if your insurer specifically wants you to tell them about each individual thing and you say decats, they'll either say yes or no: Every one will be different, I can't speak for any of them.
  11. For the record, I'm not Conservative, they're just who I voted for this time around. I've voted for Blair's Labour in previous elections, so I don't feel I'm blinded or biased to always vote one way regardless of what's going on in the country at the time I know this next point is pure speculation, but if Labour had won with a majority I struggle to picture an Internet full of hate for Ed, with everyone saying that the voting system is unfair and it was Ed's scare tactics over poor people starving combined with the champagne socialists wot won it. As I said on FB, it seems to be those on the interweb that shout the loudest that seem to be on the losing side: Scotland's independence first, now the 2015 General Election. I suspect that's no coincidence, and there's some clever sod with psychology and sociology degrees out there who could make some sense of it.
  12. \o/ Now go get the T3PA pedals as well, and the TH8A shifter!
  13. I wouldn't be choosing my type of fun transport based on how safe it was.
  14. See the windscreen thing. You can put a spare wheel in your car with no tread on the tyre, MOT fail but not remotely illegal. MOT has zero to do with insurance or being illegal.
  15. Why would they not? For example, I have my car insured with 'exhaust changes' under modifications. That includes any part of the exhaust, so manifold to backbox. I'm running a cat as I can't be arsed with the hassle, but I could swap happily to decats if I wanted.
  16. Bah, memory playing tricks on me! Then yes, you're correct.
  17. Furthest to closest, to the reservoir. IIRC looking from the back, RR, RL, FR, FL. Both nipples too, if Brembo.
  18. Try putting a post in Wanted, with a slightly more helpful title.
  19. They're not illegal, you just won't pass an MOT with them. You won't pass MOT with a large chip in your windscreen, but that's not illegal. If your insurer won't accept them, just change insurer.
  20. Gobby little sh*tbag, more like!
  21. The Murdoch press has very little to do with the voting outcome IMHO. People who are that stupid to be swayed by the gutter press generally are too lazy to vote. They'll talk a good fight, but will do nothing about it. I saw that woman on QT last night too, horrible little troll who I just wanted to punch in the face. Twice.
  22. Fish woman must be really irritated, best result they'll ever have and they've still got zero say in the government as we get a Tory majority. She must've thought that Lab would've been a lot closer, at least then she'd have had massive clout to get things done her way.
  23. I used the term debt to help illustrate my point, but the actual term is, of course, deficit. That's the problem, not debt.
