    I need a 4x4!!

    Nah, no-one would be daft enough to buy a CVT
  2. According to STR, it looks like HIG Capital have bought the Ring. German linky
  3. Or AIDS. The bad kind, too!
  4. 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?
  5. You would think that there would be a contract in place stating compatibility for x number of years. If not, car manufacturers are stupid.
  6. We clearly have very different definitions of growler! NSFW
  7. 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.
  8. Something my missus sent me this morning, that she's using in class today as part of her maths lesson:
  9. The amount of revs isn't the problem. It's how much you like having a clutch.
  10. 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.

    new citroen c1

    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!
  12. Don't leave the cable/box plugged in, the socket is permanent live so you'll drain the battery
  13. 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
  14. 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.
  15. Because the general public are morons. Democracy only works if you assume intelligence.
  16. He wrestles bears. Naked. He is a man's man. Which is ironic, after the whole gay thing.
  17. Interesting question. I honestly don't know, but I'd love you to go and get another one done and see if there's much difference between the two tunes.
  18. The 911 is a weekend only car, doesn't mean I don't take it to Tesco on Saturday just because I can

    Golf R32

    It's almost an inline 6, very narrow angle on the V (15deg IIRC).
  20. If an insurer asks you about a SAC, you have two choices: 1. Tell them the truth. 2. Don't tell them, and take your business elsewhere. You cannot and must not lie to them: You're only asking to end up in a massive bag of the brown stuff if you do.
  21. See, that's what I don't get. There's nowhere I can't/wouldn't take the 911: Car parks, multi storey, country dirt roads, seriously tight lanes on the IoM, anywhere. I don't see the point in owning a car that you can use every day and then being limited as to where you can go with it.
  22. I actually spotted it earlier this afternoon, after browsing PH for the nth time this week
