Drive both 86 and BRZ, they are subtly different. I prefer the BRZ due to the keener turn in, but it depends on what you're after.

Oh lord that's pretty

March 22nd is the actual track day, just hoping for less snow this year I see you managed to grab yourself a harness bar over on ROC, good work

Seriously? Just go to Santa Pod then. You'll be quicker off the line, and then he'll murder you with all that torque. Ultimately you've got the slower car, but I also know which one I'd rather be driving. And it's not the FWD scrabble wagon.

Exactly. It's pointless as a measure of whether a car is 'safer' or not.

Bloody hell, makes the 458 look tiny!

HIG Capital are the one investment group, from what I gather. I've no real idea though, I'm only going on a bad Google translation and what STR wrote on FB.

Needs a bigger wing.

You said Capricorn, not HIG

Nah, no-one would be daft enough to buy a CVT

According to STR, it looks like HIG Capital have bought the Ring. German linky

Or AIDS. The bad kind, too!

Probably only get a three star nowadays. NCAP really is a stupid rating. How can you rely on a system when they keep moving the goalposts?

You would think that there would be a contract in place stating compatibility for x number of years. If not, car manufacturers are stupid.

We clearly have very different definitions of growler! NSFW

TomTom for me. I prefer the UI, but really there's no wrong answer. If you do go for a TT, make sure it has the ability to use ITN files: Couple that with TYRE, and you'll be able to plan routes with ease from any PC.

Something my missus sent me this morning, that she's using in class today as part of her maths lesson:

The amount of revs isn't the problem. It's how much you like having a clutch.

Might just be the wifi bit, but my one definitely stays on with ignition off. My throttle controller did used to power off though, you're quite right.

And that's why, as with the previous models, you'd always buy the Toyota instead: http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/News/Search-Results/First-Official-Pictures/Toyota-Aygo-2014-first-official-pictures/ Much angrier. Rarr!

Don't leave the cable/box plugged in, the socket is permanent live so you'll drain the battery

I do get what you guys are saying, but: Park at the far end of car parks, and walk further Birds sh*t everywhere, even when you're driving My car is also mint, using it doesn't ruin it Nothing is cooler than driving a decent car to the chip shop Except maybe a filthy dirty covered in mud car that shows the car isn't a garage queen So this: Is cooler than this: But not as cool as this: All tongue-in-cheek, no offence meant

Italian tune up

With zero technical knowledge, but years of practical experience, I do the following: Road car: 10k miles or 12mths, oil and filter Road & track car: 5k/6mth miles for oil, 10k/12mth for oil & filter For my own 90% track car, I'll do an oil change every three track days. If it looks okay and I'm not burning it excessively, then I'll push that to five track days and do the filter then too. Porsche recommend oil & filter every 20k/24mth. For me, that's miles too long, and I stick with 10k/12mth.
