That's not a fair comparison Steve. You can tell when a cyclist jumps a red light in the exact same way as you can when a driver jumps a red light. Using your comparison, you can still tell if a car is speeding using the mobile phone if you film it and then compare landmarks: That's how the CPS do it, albeit they don't usually have to rely on mobile phones. I can prove very easily that a driver is ignoring road signs telling them to stop or give way, not wearing a seat belt (easy to see at 30mph, try it!), on a mobile phone etc. It's just as simple to see the obvious things, no matter your mode of transport.

Very few car crimes are subjective. DWDCA/CD/DD are the only ones I can think of. All others are objective. i.e. speeding, jumping amber lights, not wearing a seat belt etc.

Rare that, coming from me!

I bet more drivers don't speed daily than do. I don't think cyclists break the law more than drivers, it's just that they're more noticeable when they do because they're a rarer sight on the roads. Same reason people think all sports car drivers drive like hooligans.

I like raspberry flavour windows

I wear headphones in the MR2, but they're noise cancelling ones just so I don't go deaf! On occasion as a cyclist, I've skipped onto a path to 'skip' a red light, but only when there's no pedestrians and it's a single lane crossing due to a narrowing of the road. I'd never do it on a major road, or on a crossing.

I'm still surprised that the new version isn't for sale over here. It makes no financial sense to continue selling two version of the same car. My first thought would be they're trying to shift old stock over here first, and a 16wk wait on a new silver one does go someway to confirming that. That's verging on special order lead times.

*discs Disks are square, discs are round Try the EBC discs, not as bad as they used to be and cheap too.

Don't be an idiot. Get a four seat car and do it properly. :thumbs

It's unlikely the system is empty, probably just the expansion tank is empty though. Ideally fill with Nissan green coolant, if not then deionised water will be fine as long as system isn't empty (i.e. if it takes more than a couple of litres!). 99% it will be the fans, not a huge problem

He's very likeable, and doesn't have a bad bone in his body. I really hope he gets a WDC in his career, he's got exactly the right attitude IMHO.

That's quite reasonable at this rate actually, given the amount of time they've already invested.

Shape and weight of gearknob is very important too. I prefer to cup the knob rather than grasp it, so prefer dumpy round ones to tall shaft ones. The knob is also one of the few places on the car where more weight is preferable, to give a more positive action when shifting. Yeah yeah, I know everyone just picks the pretty ones, but it's worth considering the size and shape too else you could ruin that connectivity between man and car. Also, I must get some kind of award for amount of double entendres in a single post for that first paragraph.

Gigolo or entrepreneur? One or the other or a combination of both. Definitely not the gigolo

F*cking hell. Immense drives from the top three, none of them would've predicted that result. Nico is a whinging little girl.

Correct, it's percentage-based.

And again, ah yes, I think you're right! Okay, sense is made now. As you were, people.

Completely agree with Ricey. Paint correction isn't easy, and it's not cheap. Neither should it be, it's removing some of the actual paint (well, clear coat) from the car so you need some expertise in what you are doing. A good single-day detail is enough for most people. For the rest of us, there's much further down the rabbit hole to go.

Ah, you could be right. My bad. Even so, that clearly needs wide arches, no? Just to make it look finished.

Okay, I'll bite. That's not finished yet, is it? I mean, the rim is outside of the arch. Is that not an MOT fail?

You could do both happily. Sealant to seal the paint, then a wax to give the shine. I usually only do one or other though due to the law of diminishing returns, and I prefer the finish of a good wax over the length of protection of a good sealant. Personally I would use some DJSN on your car, but out of the ones you mention the Red would be my choice. Easier to work with, and a good finish.

It really does, doesn't it?! It's bizarre really, the suspension is much stiffer all round on the newer models, however they still feel the need to give it a huge arch gap. Does make cleaning easier though!

Trucks FTW.

Highly unlikely, though. I think people are expecting miracles from the partnership given previous successes, but even if it's a good engine the McLaren aero isn't good enough to make the most of it. Look at the other Merc-powered cars, they're not even in the same league as the factory cars. Yes, Merc would still have the advantage of developing around that engine rather than shoving it in like the others, but even so. I would not expect McLaren Honda to be competitive for at least two seasons. After that, who knows?

FFS Lewis! What is he supposed to do to get any luck this year?
