Oh no, it does absolutely, just a lot easier to prove down the line. Technically they're correct: It's a used car and shouldn't be perfect unless you're paying top, top money. That said, I'd have done the exact same as you (and have done on all my cars) so they should stand by their word. A repair shouldn't just wipe off, no reasonable person would expect that.

Not acceptable. Did you get the details of the proposed repair work in writing? i.e. what was going to be done to the car before pickup?

GLOL :lol:

I'm just happy I got to legitimately use the word niggardly.

I can see why people like it. I don't.

I don't drive a car any differently regardless of whether it's my own, someone else's, a POS or worth a fortune when I'm on track. I have no idea if that's a good thing or not, tbh.

Fair dos. I didn't bother when I ran the MR2 (first one), only bothered with the VXR because it came free with my road insurance, ditto with the Zed as it transferred over, and then only did one day with the 911 before I swapped insurer. After seeing some pretty horrendous incidents, and realising I might have been pushing my luck a bit, I now only drive cars I can afford to bin, or I'd only do a day if I had insurance. It's very easy to do £20K+ worth of damage to a Porker...! It only takes one idiot, or one slight mechanical failure, or one dodgy turn, and you could kill a Zed easy. Fair play if you've got the balls/cash to track it without, sadly these days I have neither.

Do you bother with insurance?

Massive, massive difference. You'll be quicker in a straight line, more agile round corners, reduced braking distances, and a less firm ride.

I wonder if the debug menu thing still works?

That's handy info, nice one I don't understand the whole clearing the MAC address issue though: I thought that each piece of kit had a MAC address that couldn't be changed?

Don't tweet, speak to the online support, they'll sort for you there and then.

Not too dissimilar actually, and I hadn't noticed. I love the Corvette, but the jutting angles of the gaping maw on the FLF are jarring to my eye.

If it didn't look quite so 'challenging', I'd be far more tempted.

Blimey, one year ago today. That went by quick. Still want to do it all over again, someday.

I can't stop shooting the unemployed and the gingers

Some of them will be, definitely. It's the smart move really, depreciation will be minimal on these (if any), so why not finance?

There's no hard and fast rule. The guys in the Ferrari section on PH were discussing this, and there's some folks that have had the collection (GTO, 40, 50 and Enzo) and still not got one, but others have just bought a 458 and an F12 and got in there. It's what you bring to the party in terms of ownership.

I wouldn't say that, it was always designed and marketed as a GTA-style game that just happened to be about hacking rather than drugs and guns.

One button to hack normal things like phones, pipe system for the complex computers. Hacking is the theme, but it's not the ethos.

I'd have said a Fezza was much more pretentious than any Porsche, this side of a gold wrapped Cayenne.

You need to be a bit of a pretentious prat, I think.

Will download it tonight. Mine's on the Xbone, so 100% legit

We're assuming that it actually was 2.5 deg on the fronts, could well have been knocked at any point and running well out of spec. Just goes to show that if you're going to run aggressive settings, you need to be checking your tyres much more often. Ignoring the danger aspect for a second, that's an easy three points if a copper decides to pull you.

Downloaded Watch_Dogs yesterday, decided to give it a go. Whilst it's lacking the ultimate polish of a GTA, it's still a pretty good game. Disappointing that I can't hack everybody, but the multiple ways to approach missions is very welcome. It's not a pretty game though, massively downgraded since E3 2012 for sure.
