  1. It'd be the first thing I'd do on a pre-Revup car, I have to say.
  2. See, I don't see the other guy in the wrong at all, apart from parking like a knob. I can totally see why he took pics, just in case there was damage that he hadn't seen the first time. Perfectly sensible thing to do, although denying is a bit daft but he probably didn't want the confrontation. Stalking him and then phoning the company is a bit OTT, don't really see why you'd bother tbh.
  3. Why did you confront him at all?
  4. Holy crap, I've found something more irritating than crabs.
  5. Does your TT allow the use of ITN files? Many don't. Get yourself a copy of TYRE (Trace Your Route Everywhere), best piece of software ever made. Create a route in google maps via drag and drop, then it creates the ITN file for you.
  6. No it wouldn't, I've done that twice! VXR220 and the 911, both purchased without driving either. could i possibly interest you in buying some magic beans Sound great, I'll take ten packs! Free delivery, yeah?
  7. If I had one of those, I'd drive everywhere with the doors down just because. Ultra cool.
  8. I'm going to go and edit all my posts now just to annoy you Jetpilot
  9. Awesome username is awesome!
  10. Oh god we're talking about depreciation over fun, it's just like being on a Porsche forum

  12. Dafuq is a vlog bro?
  13. ^^^This. I'd still have a Zed over a Z4M, but not necessarily because it's the better car. In every measurable way it's not, but for it's still got something that means I would choose it over the Bee-Em.
  14. In fairness to yours, I prefer your wheels I think, but literally that's it. The new one is a much more cohesive design, more OEM and less tuner. It's what Nissan should be doing, rather than try and emulate the aftermarket.
  15. That is a billion times better than the boxy monstrosity we currently have. Lines flow beautifully but with purpose, and those (assuming Recaro) seats work very well. Much better Nissan. Now bring it over here.
  16. I wonder if Newey would look at other ventures after RB, away from F1.
  17. Hate to say it Steve, but all that would've been stated in the contract before you agreed to the policy. AF may not be great in some respects, but you can't blame them for enforcing their contractural rights mate. A lot of that will be down to the insurers though: Don't forget Flux are just a broker.
  18. That's not why he was asking, profile is directly related to tyre width so if you had odd widths then you would definitely have issues.
  19. So you removed the weight, then put the weight back in and wondered why you can't feel any difference?! Yes, I can feel a 10.5kg loss from over the rear axle, but then I can feel a couple of psi drop in a tyre. The spare wheel weighs 12kg in my MR2, and I can feel a massive difference when that's out. If Johnny Drive-Softly did it and only ever pootled around, he'd probably not notice. If Larry Track-Day-Hero did it, I'd be amazed if he couldn't.
  20. If you'd like to explain how you've managed to get around the laws of physics, that would be great. I'm sure others would find it useful. If you mean that it's negligible in terms of affecting the handling, well maybe to you: Certainly I can feel it, and again why would want to remove weight from where you're trying to create traction?
  21. Mine jumped a fair bit, but that's because it's a second car with minimal NCB.
  22. In that case I've no idea what they do to it (maybe mapping, maybe physical mounting?) but it was wheezy and gutless and noisy. To be fair to the car though, the gearchange was pretty good and the seats were comfy if lacking in support.
  23. Very poor engine (we've had a couple of Mitsi cars with that lump in at work and it's horrible), cheap and nasty place to be inside, and it's a little bit ugly on the outside. Put it this way, I'd much rather have £7K worth of Focus than that.
  24. Mileage could easily be obtained from the MOT, so I'm not surprised that I've never been asked for proof. As much as I like getting involved in the nitty gritty of insurance, I'm not remotely worried about this at all. If I over run, then it'll be down to the track mileage. That said, if you over run by thousands of miles, I expect that might be harder to prove.
  25. Think I'd rather walk.
