  1. Revup ragtop is dead after 135mph. Tested on Dottinger Hohe, June 2010.
  2. 24mpg? No thanks.
  3. They're very, very fast. Which means that Stuarty won't buy them as he's only ever bought fair to middling fast BMWs

    RX8

    Kinda what I was thinking

    RX8

    Zed weighs about 200kg more, too. Sure, you can look at it as a downgrade, or you could look at it as something different to experience. Not better or worse, just different.
  6. Gorgeous colour, great job! Regarding the temps, you should be okay, as long as you stay away from sustained heavy braking at speed (eg track work). Temp ranges of primer and clear coat won't make any difference as they don't insulate from heat.
  7. Search for 350z cluster.
  8. Four on eBay right now.
  9. Insurance. NOW. What happens when the repair that gets done isn't good enough? Do you think he'll take it back and re-do it for you? No chance, and then you've zero proof anything happened and it's a month down the line. You pay insurance for a very good reason, so use it! Even if your premium goes up next year by £59, it'll be well worth it.
  10. Still playing Titanfall. Still not quite 2G yet, but soon!
  11. Used panties from a vending machine. Just because you can, really.

    RX8

    So I've now borrowed the RX8 in question for a month, to see how I get on with it. He's done a couple of maintenance related mods so far (separate oil res for the 2-stroke rather than using sump oil for one), but other than it's stock still. Well, apart from the decat... Still love the howl from the engine, and the pop from the exhaust as you shift up a smidge before the redline at WOT is hysterical! Very impressed with the suspension too: It handles some dire speed humps near me better than anything I've ever driven before. Too soft for my personal preference, but for the masses it's ideal for comfort. Updates as I go.
  13. Bit of free advice: Stop buying dull cars you lose money on, and start buying fun ones you lose money on. At least that's more fun!
  14. I'd much rather pay £700 a month for an M3 than lose £5k on a 320i.
  15. Chav Central. Chav Tastic. Chav Mundo.
  16. I use Last Touch for QD and drying aid, and it works perfectly.
  17. Agreed. If I'm hiring a sports car, then I'm going to spank it like a red-haired stepchild.

    Ackermann principle in full effect, I'm afraid. Perfectly normal, all cars with large wheels and low suspension with a wide front end (i.e. every sports car ever) does this to some extent.
  19. At which point you punched her in the boob and told her that only a V8 petrol will do, of course. Wimmin, eh?!
  20. Let him make his own mistakes.
  21. Not me, never seen those around though. Must try harder!
  22. ARGH RETARD CAMERA USER!!! :rant: Don't worry, I'm sure the copper in the car will be given a formal warning for this behaviour.
  23. Can't... breathe... :lol: :lol: Need... air... :lol: Yeah, just buy another BMW. Tbh mate if it was anyone else asking I'd have happily given up some time to give you a detailed overview of 911 ownership, but since you seem to ignore everything any one says on cars and simply just buy a BMW any way I'm not really sure I can be bothered. Not mean harshly, but it's the truth.
  24. I wouldn't, because I don't need the extra money. If I suddenly did, then I'd be more likely to sell the car for funds rather than hire it out.
  25. Some insurers will mirror your NCB. A-Plan did for me when I got the MR2.
