  1. I remember doing the Ring a few years back, and sharing the track with an F430 GT2 car that I'd watched race a couple of weeks earlier at LeMans Being overtaken by that round the Karussel was amazing.
  2. I know one guy drove back to the hotel after a trackday (approx 20mins drive) still running the numberplate that only had his forum username on it
  3. On normal roads, there's isn't a whole lot between a car with 200bhp and one with 500bhp. Give me a couple of weeks and I'll prove that, too. On track, it's night and day.
  4. No sensible person likes Toblerone. Horrible stuff. It's up there with Ferrero Rocher in the List Of Chocolate That Is Meant To Be Posh But Is Actually Utter Sh*te. I'd go and watch 50SOG, as long as it guaranteed me getting some when I got home. You did get some, right?
  5. I knew a girl at school called Kit Kat. True story, although I didn't actually get the joke until many years after.
  6. So sometimes you need to: Two Kit Kat fingers are too much, but a single Kit (Kat?) plus Curly Wurly can be perfect.

    GT spec braces

    The Summit ones made a huge difference to my roadster. I suspect the huge middle one will do little on a coupe, but the front and rear ones will definitely be noticeable.
  8. But a Twix or Twirl differs significantly in diameter from, say, a regular Cadbury Finger. Or just to throw it out there, a Finger Of Fudge.
  9. If you want great roads and great pace, just go to the IoM. That place is a mecca for superb roads and good drivers.
  10. I just checked out the clothing range. Hard driving and safe sex? Scrape floors, bang doors? Okay, I guess I'm old, as I cannot fathom why any one would want those across their chests. Utterly chavtastic. Might as well put a 'shocker' sticker on your car while you're at it!
  11. Normal guys can still employ a proof reader I've never heard of them though, so I have no idea how big/popular they are. If they are just a bloke in a bedroom, then I guess I can forgive them. I'll have a proper look later, I like the Hoonigan stuff so might find something on there I do like
  12. im not following? *I'm Seriously though, a professional website really shouldn't be making errors like that. Hoonigan don't, or if they do it's dressed up as a phrase on purpose (the awful 'Ain't care' springs to mind).
  13. What. The. Actual. F*ck.
  14. I did a lot of that route when I did LEJOG in one day. It really is stunning.
  15. Blimey, I thought Will had trouble tying his own shoelaces, although that could be because he can't bend down that far Nice one matey
  16. I've seen appalling driving in both a sheddy old Fiesta with chav cans and in a 458 Challenge car on track days. I make zero assumptions as to the level of driving I expect from the guy behind/in front, as any one with a big enough chequebook can buy anything they want, regardless of talent I'd consider myself an experienced track day driver, but I'm not sure I'd be happy with overtaking on either side. I've been on days where it's been allowed in parts (Rockingham is the one that sticks out in my mind), and tbh it just encourages idiots to do idiotic things. I'm sure it does work, as lots of companies do it now, but each to their own on the comfort for that. Worst track day I ever did was at Anglesey with Circuit Days years ago, we had GT-Rs and Evos racing each other and undertaking through the the last corner by the pit wall (the single most dangerous place on the whole track!) but I went back with them last year and they had massively improved and it was one of the best run days I've ever done. I'd use them happily again.
  17. I really should get new glasses, I read that last sentence completely wrong...!
  18. I would, yes. If you drive on a worn clutch you can put hotspots on the flywheel, which would then also need changing. Now, for performance reasons I'd change the flywheel to a single mass one at the same time as doing the clutch any way to save on the labour costs, but if you don't want to then better to change the clutch earlier rather than later.
  19. Good article, nice find Graham
  20. I care. She's taking up a spot that a decent driver could actually be using to further their career, rather than just being there for PR purposes.
  21. Well yeah, like the 911 and the BRZ86, you can get adults in but you wouldn't want to do hundreds of miles like that. The 645 isn't any better, tbh.
