    Tyres

    MPS3 are nowhere near as good as MPS2. They're for smaller, lighter, less powerful cars, hence being available in the smaller sizes. They're still very good, but considering that the MPS2 are now superceded by the MPSS there's no reason to be looking at anything else in the Michelin range.
  2. They sound like gifts for the baby Jesus, not car colours!
  3. You're not driving it properly
  4. How many super cars do you think will be there if they're letting 350Zs in? They clearly have a ton of spare room and are filling it with any old thing.

    New car time!

    You got stick at work because of it. Sure, you mentioned other stuff too, but you wouldn't have mentioned the Clarkson bit at all if it hadn't had some effect on your purchasing decision.

    He's going to buy the BMW. Tbh, not buying a car because of something that Clarkson said is utterly, utterly retarded.
  7. I'd take over from the prosecution
  8. I'd love to be called up for jury service
  9. It says that because Stuarty is in Scotland, none of the regular stuff applies.

    TVR they back?

    Heard nothing since that. Sadly.
  11. You're in Scotland, so I have no ideas of the rules there now. AFAIK north of the border you're still good to just bin it.
  12. Sorry, but that argument doesn't stack up. The world has massively changed in the last 100 years, and cars now massively outweigh horses in terms of what the roads are designed for. The transition period has long gone, and horses simply no longer belong on the vast majority of roads. Of course they still have the legal right to do so, and until that changes I'm firmly in the camp of giving them as much respect as possible as I do with all road users, but that doesn't mean that I think they belong there. Horse sh*t may be good for plants, but that doesn't mean it belongs on the road. If a horse rider has to temporarily use a section of road to cross fields, then that's fair enough (much like the rights farmers in tractors enjoy with regards to licensing issues), but otherwise they simply shouldn't be there. A grass track is for a horse, an asphalt road is for a car. For absolute clarity, anyone who uses the roads without respect for others deserves shooting. Be they horse rider, cyclist, or driver, if you can't respect others and use some common sense when around them then you shouldn't be allowed to use the road.
  13. I'm not a rider so am not overly familiar with the handling traits of bikes and the physics involved, but did he not just have too quick an entry speed which caused him to understeer and drift across the lines? As opposed to a deliberate attempt to take the racing line. Hands up, I didn't watch all the video so have no idea if he was doing that consistently or not.
  14. Probably the same bunch of bellends who have the POLITE hi-vis on.
  15. Let go of the stalk a bit earlier then, it only activates when you're holding it down. Doesn't it? Been a while since I used one on a Zed, I must admit. I know all my other cars do that.
  16. Which is exactly what I did, and y'know what? I came to the conclusion that it's very similar to stuff like birds and airfields: Birds have been around for way longer, but they're a pest to airfields that we, mankind, have built so we try and get rid of them from that area. That's exactly what we should be doing with horses. Yes, they used to be great for getting around, but that's when we had tracks worn through the fields and not proper roads with CARS and LORRIES and OTHER BIG BITS OF METAL ON THEM. This is the modern day, and there is no room for horses on the roads as well. You want to be at one with nature on a horse? Fine, then bugger off and ride it in a field or a pasture or the Grand National. Roads are for cars. Deal with it.
  17. People on horseback were around for many, many years before cars. People should think about that before complaining.
  18. No, the jet is on the arm. If the blades (the actual rubber bit) is duff, then it'll never clean properly. Bosch or PIAA, in either standard or blade flavour.
