This x millionty.

It's missing something... Oh yeah, MILEAGE!

Ah, you just don't like 'em because they don't have enough torque for you to get the arse out all the time

One from Saturday sticks in my mind. I was joining the M11 N from the M25 W, and it's a wonderful piece of sliproad if you know it. Came round it at a decent but sensible speed (well within the limit), no traffic near me so indicated to join the M11 and started to accelerate up to NSL. As I did so I noticed that there was a slow moving pick up truck also about to join, who was not indicating. I checked my mirrors, and my blind spot, and decided it would be safer to proceed straight to lane 3 in case the pickup decided to jump straight to lane 2. Did so after indicating, then realised there was a white TT already in lane 3. He was a fair way back and travelling at approx the same speed as me, and I'd like to think that I subconsciously saw him and decided to make the move anyway as there was plenty of space (he didn't have to brake at all), but I do not remember doing that on purpose. It's not impossible that I just didn't see him, and it could've appeared that I was being a numpty and pulling straight into lane 3 for no reason. I genuinely don't know if I saw him or not though, and that's very frustrating for me as I've worked very hard over the years on my observation as it was one thing I felt needed improvement as a young driver. No accident, not even close really, but it's reminded me again that I'm not as perfect as I would like to believe. Still better than 99% of other motorway users who seem unable to grasp the concept of keeping left, though!

Unlikely I'll be in a Zed, either.

House move, sadly. To be fair I've had over ten years of spunking money up the wall on sports cars, so it's probably about time I actually put it to good use!

Could be just about anything, including a dodgy battery. Read the code, go from there.

So you've fixed the problem, and are having trouble reading the code?

Technically he's right, a CTR is quicker than a 911, albeit a 911 from 1964.

The 6 is 5 months away. If you really want one, that's not a long time to wait at all given you've had a 4s for, what, a couple of years? S5 is a good phone by all accounts, if you can live with Android.

As per the other thread... Call me silly, but I didn't think the 350GT ever got the Revup engine? Guess you learn something new every day.

Yeah, you'll be fine.

A good rebuild costs around £2k, and if you look after the car properly then it'll last at least 50k miles. Most people don't keep a car that long

If he's going to do a lot of miles, don't pay a premium for a low miler as you'll be losing out financially long term. Buy a well looked after car with plenty of history, and ignore the mileage. You need to drive the STi, it's a massively more involving car than a WRX. It's like comparing a 330i to an M3.

Why? Refinement will be noticeably less, surely? If we're talking purely lap times or specialness then I agree with you.

Ever driven one? The engine is very unique, and the chassis sublime.

Trust me, I know exactly how you feel!

If you want refinement, get the 350Z. It's a much more modern car, with the benefits of the advancement in manufacturing and design. If you want quick in a straight line, get the R34 with zorst and remap.

Have you driven both WRX and STi back to back to compare? They're massively different cars, and to me a leggy 80k STi would be a much better buy than a mint 30k WRX. Buy on condition, not milage. What's the budget?

For both, yes

10mm hex, IIRC.

What Scooby (assume Impreza) are you after?

Pop the bumper off and unplug them?
