  1. Leeroy Jenkins fast I'd love to do a RWYB day one day. Closest I've come is a VMax day, but it's not really the same.
  2. Tend to agree that a new S car would do much better than a new Z.

    White wheels?

    Not for me, sorry. The only wheel colours that work on silver cars are either standard finish, or ridiculously bright like a neon green or orange.
  4. No, you're right, I don't think there's a market for the Zed at all as it stands. Looking at the BRZ86 model, I don't think there's a huge market for that either. I don't see a future for the Zed any more, if I'm honest. Not in the current guise of GT cruiser, at any rate.
  5. Oh my god that orange, oh my god
  6. It's all very well and good saying we can get loads of power out of a Zed if it comes with a turbo engine, but you'll lose that wonderful throttle response as well as end up with an exhaust note even worse than what we have now
  7. No-one has any idea right now at all. They're just guessing to fill column inches.
  8. Yes, if you're going to refer to that as the redline then you're correct. Once you join the rest of the normal world in recognising that the redline is the limiter, then we can sit down and have a proper conversation about how cars work. You could paint a redline at the 4k mark, that would mean your car would be amazing and let you go over three thousand rpm past the redline!!!11
  9. Dave's got it Alien could be good, or it could still suck like the last one.
  10. Your car cannot go past the redline, end of.
  11. Diablo doesn't interest me. I think DA:I is the next thing I'm looking forward to.
  12. You cannot take an auto beyond the redline. That would be utterly stupid. Changing gears does not give you more grip, manual or auto. Where on earth did you read that nonsense?!
  13. Current value of the mods isn't like for like. For example, your turbo kit may have cost you £10k, but on the second hand market it's only worth £5k. As such, if you write the car off you're only getting £5k back. All figures for illustrative purposes only. At least, that's how it reads to me, IANAL etc. Given the value and work that's gone into your car, would you not be better off with a guaranteed value policy?
  14. You sure on that last bit? Can't see any reference to that in the policy wording on their website. Also they don't specifically exclude track days, so actually it looks like you are covered
  15. Seems reasonable. No track cover included I assume? Are the mods covered like for like?
  16. I love going from 7th to 3rd in mine, it never gets dull
  17. I always wondered what would happen if you tried that!
  18. No-one knows yet, although if they don't release on other platforms then they've definitely lost the plot. I'd say you'd be looking at around a 6 to 8 month period, so get all the DLC out of the way and then release a GOTY edition for all platforms.
  19. Ah I guess if you had lorries at the end, that would make a bit more sense. I did 176 in mine, which is why the 167 of the GT-Rs sounded a bit low.
  20. Lee Nelson is about as funny as ball cancer. And AIDS. At the same time.
  21. Rise Of The Tomb Raider is an Xbone exclusive next Christmas! Didn't see that one coming. Shocked.
  22. Completely irrelevant. Her insurance is paying to put you back in the same position you were in beforehand. Nothing you can do affects your right as a third party to make a claim. You claim from them, your insurer doesn't need to get involved if she's admitted liability. Just deal with them direct. However! Now might be a good time to call your insurer and tell them about every single thing over and above a stock car, and pay any increased premium in case you have an accident in the future that IS your fault.
