  1. Or a pint of beer a week.
  2. Well played sir, well played!
  3. Well...
  4. Not a bad thing, as long as it's genuine engine noise they're pumping in like Porsche do. If it's artificially generated crap like BMW they can shove it.
  5. StevoD.
  6. I think the E63 BMW is pretty, in a way. It's got some nice swoopy lines at the front, it's just the rear that's a bit tacked on!
  7. Whilst i would absolutely love one, it wouldnt be for the way they look, nothing wrong with it per say, but imho it could have been so much better Pretty much this. It's aggressive, sure, but it's not pretty. I like my cars to be pretty, at least in some way. A GT-R is something I'm very glad exists for the engineering, but I have no desire to own one.
  8. Sounds like a plan Please don't run it at SP if it's not 100% healthy though, for your own safety as much as anything else. If the engine seizes then you're very quickly going to find yourself in trouble of the worst kind, and whilst the engine is replaceable you most definitely are not.
  9. Dermot would be very good, I think. Proper blokey man but without the yob element, and also quite attractive to the ladeez (allegedly). He's excellent on the radio, and tbh he was the only thing worth watching the X Factor for after Shirtswinger left. Very talented bloke
  10. Jokingly just sent a text to Jo asking if I can buy an Apple Watch. The reply? "Only if you wait until you get home so I can get the Nectar points on my card" God bless her, that's exactly why I married her!
  11. The BBC have already stated that their policy is that at least one member of a panel MUST be female going forward, so extend that out and this wouldn't surprise me at all. She's immensely popular on a show that people who don't actually like cooking still watch in huge numbers... Sound familiar?
  12. Thanks mate!
  13. Put the spanner down Brad, go take it somewhere where they can sort this out for you before you do some damage
  14. What is it? And can we make it a bit higher please? I don't want to go silly like hundreds, but 20 would be nice.
  15. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA :lol: :lol: :lol: Ahem. Let us know how you get on
  16. Not recently, I hope! They're an old tyre now, superseded by the 453 at least 18 months ago... And the 452s aren't anywhere close to the MPSS, just to really make you feel good...
  17. That would be 4-6 weeks then, ta
  18. It told you the estimated despatch date when you ordered it
  19. PCV, Positive Crankcase Ventilation valve. From wiki, 'cos I'm lazy: The PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) valve is a one-way valve that recycles crankcase gases back into the engine to burn. A plugged PCV valve can result in a rough idle and poor mileage. Worse, it can cause costly oil leaks.
  20. Not me, not at those prices without trying first. What was your delivery estimate when you bought? They're all saying either 4-6 weeks or June atm (except for the Edition which is July).
  21. You'll want much more toe out at the front, at least 1.5 if not more. Tad of toe in at the rear like about 0.2, then as much camber as you can get at the front and the -3 at the rear should be fine. For the shocks, drop the rears back about 3-5 clicks. Very rarely do you ever want shocks the same stiffness front to rear on a track car, save maybe on a very wet day. If that doesn't sort it, I'll eat my hat
  22. Eagle F1s are good tyres, I'd be happy with those. Pirellis are sh*t. But yeah, if those are an idea of your budget then you're mad to consider anything other than the MPSS.
  23. What are your current geo settings? What number of clicks are you running on the dampers?
  24. Unlikely. What oil? Any other symptoms? Are you 100% sure you didn't overfill it?

    McLaren 570s

    That's crazy then, the 458 is a much better car in every way I can think of. It's even got a huge boot! I guess if you don't want to have to work for the performance then the turbo probably does suit better. No way I could trade that V8 and that chassis for a 911 though, and coming from me that's saying a lot!
