There is no 'best'. Personally I'd be running a 10w-30 in a Zed of that mileage, but that's just an opinion. On a lower mileage car, I'd prob go for a 5w-30.

I wonder if he aimed the car to smash near side-on into the barriers? Immense clarity of mind if so.

Originally, it was for help about a car I was looking at purchasing, as it had the dodgy window motor issue. I have no idea when I considered this place to be my 'internet home', the first forum I check in the morning and the forum I post important stuff onto.

You just didn't get it home matey, easily done. Even when you think you have, these things can be awkward! I normally give the dipstick a spin through 360 when I've got it in place, usually confirms it's in or it'll pop back out as it wasn't quite perfect.

I was very surprised at the Festa doing so well, especially against a DSG GTi! That's a proper little motor, it really is.

I normally hate these kind of things, but MT always do it well and with a broad range of cars. This year we have: Alfa Romeo 4C BMW i8 BMW M4 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Ford Fiesta ST Jaguar F-Type R Coupe Nissan GT-R Nismo Porsche 911 Turbo S Subaru WRX STI Volkswagen Golf GTI Pick your winner!

I was thinking about getting this, but ME:Shadow Of Mordor is released the same day so I went for that instead.

What a waste

It was only a cheapy from eBay, but again it's one of the things you don't really think about when you're upgrading.

I found a fail today: My iPhone 6 Plus case won't fit in the phone holder I resin stuck to the carbon fibre panel in the MR2 Maybe the phone itself will fit, but it's unlikely.

As good a reason as any matey, never seen an IS200 as a track slag so looking forward to see how you get on with it

I reckon that sounds very much like a good plan

Then be careful. They're amazing, but they grip and grip and grip then snap: They're not massively progressive on the limit in the dry. They're are very communicative in the wet though! If you're sliding a lot then you'll burn through them quickly, which can make it interesting for the drive home... Amazing tyres though, I ran them as road tyres on my Zed and still use them on the MR2.

What's the weight of the IS200? Compared with the BMW equivalent. I suspect the BMW would make the better track car by some margin. Cheaper and more available parts, too.

What lenses do you have?

He hasn't driven the Cayman yet, has he? 'Evora, Cayman and E92 still to do'? You really should be adding 997 to that list. C2S sub-£30k all day long. 996TT too. Evoras aren't that cheap yet though.

Have you used 888s before?

I'm okay for now thanks, but cheers anyway. Are you getting the half cage then?

They're not too far off, but you will notice the difference.

That's the big plus about the MPSS, you get more than your money's worth as they last so long. Eagle F1s are excellent, but honestly if you're happy with the RE050A and could find the cash for them, then I would stick with those. They're really very good.

Personally, I'd be spending money on quality lenses over a new camera. That's where you can really notice the difference these days IMHO.

Are MPSS just £615 now?! Bloody hell, bargain.

I may have left the part out where sometimes the woman gets the last word

It's a hell of a lot of money, but I've had adventures in that car that are pretty much priceless. LEJOG in the one day My Spain trip LM on Porsche's return to LMP1 Things like that give me memories that I wouldn't swap for anything. For me, cars are my life and my passion, and as long as I'm still having fun then I'm going to spend every penny I have on them. Some people have nice houses, some have nice holidays, I have nice cars Some lucky buggers get the lot! Seriously, for me it's been a fantastic journey owning something I never, ever thought I'd get the chance to.

Yup You can't take it with you, and all that. What price living a dream?
