  1. Are people really complaning that £400 is too expensive for a remap? Really?! So something that has noticeably tangible differences on the driving experience is too expensive, but a fibreglass rip off bumper that doesn't actually fit very well and needs prep and paint is perfectly okay at the same price? Okay, so you can sell one on, but even so. Do people still buy CDs and not downloads?
  2. Looks good, much better than what we have now. Good to see that F1 is finally catching up with WEC! Also, FRIC systems to be banned from the German GP? Looks very likely, as the teams not running it would be highly unlikely to let other teams carry on using it. The Mercs would be particularly hard hit, but that doesn't mean that other teams might not lose out more.

    FWIW, and assuming that the driving part is something that people actively want to participate in, then in terms of fun roads I would rate Scotland above Wales. The IoM would also be above Wales if there were more roads, as what they have is stunning with no limit. Something like LM is more of a static experience, as the drive down there and back is actually pretty dull. That said, the experience of the race itself is utterly immense and I WILL be back next year to do it all over again.
  4. £50M worth of goofball Now watch Germany lose the final. It's almost a dead cert now at this point.
  5. Did I ever mention my paternal grandmother is German*? So I'm claiming this as a great victory for my second country *No, she really is.
  6. Skill. Bearing in mind that you're not paying for the time taken or the labour involved, but the knowledge of how far you can push an engine before it goes pop. That knowledge is what costs.
  7. Yes, someone's replaced the front bumper at some point, probably crash damage
  8. Yes, it's a Revup model. Newer interior and two slats on the front but no raised bonnet lid give it away. Revup is essentially the same as the facelift, you also have the HR version which sits at the top.
  9. -3.5 years
  10. Looks amazing bud, I'm sure you'll have a blast.
  11. Driving like a c0ck will do that.
  12. You really need to try and convince him, if the traffic is bad at the border you can write off an hour and half and there's only one way in or out really. There is nothing there, and whilst I also wanted to tick the box it's the one huge regret I have from my trip last year, utter waste of time.
  13. Looks ace, but one suggestion: Don't bother with Andorra! It's utterly rubbish, and having driven through it twice it's not even worth doing once. Just stay on the 260, the route on that map is perfect.
  14. I should give up on Lewis more often, apparently.

    IoM is amazing to visit, the roads are spectacular and no limit makes you drive with more awareness. Also some great historic places to visit too. Alas Steampacket ferries are not cheap
  16. Yes, they do. It won't save you if you do something daft, though.
  17. I've been listening to a lot of the Stones, Metallica and Snoop lately. New music leaves me utterly cold. Thank god there's so much decent older stuff for me still to discover
  18. So do they also put a bag on her head when they take her outside? Now, I get that you might not want to put pics of a naked kiddy in the bath on the internet, but normal everyday pics? If I had a kid who I adored, I'd want to share that with the world. Very sad, and incredibly misguided. I've had a similar conversation with a friend of my brother's, so not uncommon sadly.

    My point was more that I don't want everyone to say yes to a Euro jaunt or a Hoon, then the Team plough ahead organising that and then when the costs come out no-one wants to do it and we get no event at all. I feel it's important to make things clear from the start, to save any problems down the line, even if that does mean stating the obvious.

    True, but there's no cost to cross the border there. At least, not yet
  21. Lol I'm sure she'll appreciate that photo

    Bear in kind that a European trip will likely be much more than the price of Wales, possibly twice as expensive.
  23. Fed up with Lewis now. He doesn't deserve to win the title, good luck to Nico from here on.
  24. That's utterly ridiculous. Why on earth would they say that?
