You'd be done for careless driving, i.e. does the standard of driving fall below that of a reasonable and competent driver. Doing a single move that was the classic undertake is likely to see you pulled. Moving to an empty lane and cruising past a row of cars when you're not breaking the limit may still get you a tug, but you can bet your arse a decent solicitor will argue your case well in a court.

People still jailbreak their phones? How quaint.

Ooh, when I was 11 I ran over some wet grass chasing a mate who was on his bike, slipped and did a full 180deg flip with a half twist mid air. I landed jaw-first onto the nearby patch of concrete. End result was smashing my top two front teeth out, and massively swollen lips. The teeth have been replaced with implants, and the lips never really went down so I now have uber-kissable Jagger lips for life Claret everywhere I tell you, scared the hell out of me as a kid.

Actual or indicated?

FINALLY managed to order my T3PA three-pedal set for the Thrustmaster TX wheel I've got! They've been out of stock pretty much all year but they're currently back in at £89.99 shipped, which isn't too bad I don't think. I'll probably grab the shifter as well once I have the kit setup in the new house, but I'm not sure if I'll use it that much over the paddles. Getting close to the perfect setup now

Well yeah, but it's a brand new car! If you're worried about depreciation you wouldn't do it end of, you'd go buy something that's finished depreciating for cash.

True, but you get the benefits of a brand new car (so less likely to go wrong or at least it'll be covered by warranty), and usually free servicing too. It'll also have better fuel economy than the equivalent used car, so running costs will be cheaper on that side at least. Leasing is always cheaper than financing in terms of the monthly payment, unless you look at a PCP deal but then you have to find a way to finance that as well... Swings and roundabouts to all options. I've never leased myself, but will seriously consider it for the future on the non-fun car.

Cutting my scrotum when wet shaving. Bleeds forever, I tell you.

I love Imprezas. I just don't love sh*tty diesel Imprezas. For £10K, I'd have 2005 DCCD blobeye without breaking sweat. Superb cars.

Not listed on their website. They're in every game 'cos they're great tracks! I see no point in having Snet 100 & 200 for example, miles too small for the race cars in the game. They have the made up ones as well, so why not ditch them for proper tracks? I hate it just as much as when Forza does it too, so I'm not picking on Pcars here especially. Personally I do prefer the physics in Forza to GT by some margin, the cars feel so much more alive when they're moving around on track. Even the race cars do that to some extent, which I don't see them doing here.

People in Essex can't drive for toffee. Wait...

I could not think of a worse car to buy than a diesel Impreza hatch. All of the downsides (clattery engine, crap interior, bland exterior, generally ugly and unwanted) with none of the benefits (fast, wonderful engine note, bags of character). Diesel Scoobies have their place, but it's with big vehicles you use on a farm. You're better than that Craigo, definitely

Golf R has to be around £300pcm I would think. *EDIT* Just checked, first link came up as £321.98.

It's the handling physics I'm concerned about. There's very little footage of drifting, and the bits there are do not look massively convincing at all. You can drift in GT and it feels good, you can drift in FM and it feels better. It's a key component of how the cars handle on the limit. I may not want to buy parts for the race cars (you can't for the race cars in FM5 either), but I would do for the street cars. Why would you not want to? It has a handful of UK circuits, but where's Suzuka? Where's the Ring? Where's things like Fuji, or COTA, or Paul Ricard? I'd rather any of them than Snet or Oulton. The current track list only has 20 circuits, which isn't enough IMHO. I love my car games, and I want this to be a winner, but there's too many things nagging at the back of my mind. Hope I'm wrong though!

The real irony there is that the guy who got clouted is actually partially to blame: Why was he changing lanes, and why did he not use his mirrors? If he'd done the latter, he'd have seen the 458 flying up and let him go first, which would've put the 458 well ahead of the GT-R. Obviously both the Nissan and the Ferrari were pushing their luck, but the innocent party there isn't entirely blame-free. Didn't deserve that, though.

Which I suspect is going to be all shirt and no trousers, sadly. I really don't like the fact that there's no tuning as we know it, by adding parts and stuff: Just changing suspension geometry and spring/damper rates. I get why, but I also feel that it's going to feel very staid as a game.

E63?

I wouldn't pay decent money for either DC or The Crew. Both are style over substance, or neither in the case of the Crew! Save your pennies and wait for GT6/7/8, or get an Xbone and enjoy the delights of FM5 or FH2.

There is no such crime as undertaking. If there is space to the left, and traffic is queuing in the lane you are in, you are perfectly entitled to move to the left and carry on in that lane. Indeed, that's exactly what you should be doing. Unless it's obvious that you're going to need to pull back out in 10 secs, then you should be keeping left at all times. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem Not aimed at you Hayden, just general comments matey

What a pillock.

Likewise. It was amazing first of all, then after a week you realise that it just makes the car a twitchy mess when you really want a subtle pedal control. At that point you turn it down from 7 to about 4, and then it's just about okay. And then you realise it's still a bit irritating, so you just take it off and go back to exactly how it was, and suddenly you have all your throttle control back and everyone's happy! If it's absolute figures you're after, Uprev is ace. If you just want to go faster, then £400 on Walshy at Carlimits will make you go much, much quicker.

Well, it's mine and I'd quite like it back, it's getting a bit nippy out now y'know...

I quite like the Scirocco, especially in the acid green, but I couldn't pay more than a Golf for one when it's the exact same car but less practical, albeit prettier.

Is it a fluffy one? With lacy cuffs?

123d is a damn sight more manly than a Golf in a frock
