No truth at all, your right foot controls fuel consumption. They can sound raspy and crap, but a quality resonated pair should be fine. You'll have to swap your old cats back in once a year for the MOT. Unless you're going to remap for the extra power, or are after ultra weight saving, I wouldn't bother.

Less pasta, much more salad. Salad cream is fine, if that's what it takes to get you eating it. I chuck a load of dressing on my salad, only costs me 30kcals though which is nothing. Good effort though mate, one step at a time

All cars break down, fact of life sadly. Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you don't. No doubting that quality control has dipped a bit in recent years, but that goes for Jap stuff as well as German. The reason people notice it more with German cars is that there's a lot more of them now.

Good days work that fella

AND STOP SHOUTING

No food at all? That's a sh*t reception, I'd be off home. Go drink a load of water or squash or CokeZero or whatever has low calories, fill your belly. Orange juice would be good too, seeing as how you've not eaten.

That's not good mate, eating too little will cause your body to hoard whatever it is you do give it. Go have another sandwich, maybe with some thin ham, lettuce and tomato in. Or whatever you've got that isn't bacon.

Sorry, was making a bad joke on the dual/duel thing.

Or, and this is a crazy idea, you could try a Nissan dealer who usually carry spare parts for vehicles they sell But yeah,just go with Alex. He'll be cheaper.

That's fighting talk, that is!

Ah you know, you pop out for milk and eggs, come back with a roast chicken, box of wine and a turbo Mate is selling his custom kit that I know is superb quality, and he offered me first dibs on it at a price I couldn't really turn down. When done, should put me at around 300bhp/ton, which is a bit nippy.

Check monthly, at the very least. Looks normal to me, you've not checked in nine months!

They will all be like that. All cars are to some extent, because if they just applied thin paint everyone would moan about the stone chips (see any Elise for proof of how bad this can get!). Trust me, it's a good thing.

Just bought a turbo kit for this. Oops. Still haven't got the brakes fixed yet either!

Dylan Hartley got an eight week ban for biting an opponent. Luis Suarez got four months, so double that. I'm sure there's other biting offences worse than Hartley's, but that was the first link I could see. Biting seems to be a fairly common misdemeanour in rugby, so much so that they have specific punishments for it. Then there's eye gouging, the aforementioned punching, it's not always the gentleman's sport. Football could learn a lot from rugby with regards to the respect given to refs, but sometimes it's worth remembering that rugby players are not all angels.

See, that's pretty good. If you guys have iOS, grab My Net Diary and input what you eat into that. It'll tell you exactly what's in them, keep track of all your calories and let you know where you should be heading. Great little app, really helps to see why that odd Jaffa cake is a bad idea when you could just have an entire bag of the Sun Bites instead

Who is covering the breakdown service? What level of cover are you getting?

Accidents in 20mph zones have increased now that more 30s have become 20s, and accidents in 30s have now decreased because there less of them. Jesus, it doesn't take a genius to work out that there's obviously a few set roads that are having all the accidents, and that by moving their speed classification you're just moving the way the stats are reported. Utter garbage that does a massive disservice to those of us who are careful with our speed, regardless of what the sign says. Just remove all speed limits, all signage, put a camera outside every school and make dangerous driving an offence where the burden of proof on the driver is much higher. Make people take responsibility for their driving.

Then that, my friend, is classed as a win

Figures between different dynos on different days by different operators aren't comparable, so don't sweat it too much.

If you want an idea for diet, you could try what I do: Breakfast: Wholewheat cereal (I use Shreddies cos I don't like anything else) Lunch: Same as breakfast Dinner: Piece of meat (chicken breast in the George, or salmon in the steamer) with as much veg or salad as you can handle. Bit of dressing is fine, just grab a low-fat one. Do that during the week, usually quite easy because of work taking up the rest of the time. At the weekend, eat and drink what you like. That's when I'll grab a takeaway on Sat night, and a bottle of wine. Maybe a bag of crisps to eat during the F1. No-one ever got fat eating veg or salad, so just eat as much as you can, fill yourself up. I'm sure that nutritionally my diet could be better, but it works for me as that's pretty god damn healthy during the week, but it means I can still satisfy my cravings at the weekend so I never feel like I'm missing out. Add in an hour of cardio 3-5 times a week and I promise you the weight will drop off. Plus, ALL THE NOMS AT WEEKEND

If someone comes at me with a bat and wants my car keys, they can bloody well have them. That's why I'm insured, and I also quite like my bones in one piece.

Go on... It's not a failure, it's a blip. It's bloody hard to do what you're doing, so never get down on yourself and remember that anything you can do to be healthier is better than nothing

Same with everything really, once you get to the top.

Unlikely, if that got out there would be uproar, the negative PR isn't worth it. FWIW, I believe that most footballers are playing the game because they enjoy it, not for the cash or status. No different to F1 drivers, who are hardly angels if you believe the press: Bar fights, obsession with money, rudeness, whinging etc.
