  1. Meeting in car parks is never cool, regardless of car owned.
  2. Best engine of any car I've ever driven, barring the M6. Great chassis, too
  3. Do you actually want full-on flames, or just wanting the exhaust to pop and bang a little? The latter isn't a terrible want, the former a little sad tbh.
  4. Get the ECU to over-fuel. How you do that is up to you. Personally I'd rather spend my money on fuel to go faster rather than fuel to make flames that I'll never see.
  5. Makes sense tbh, one app for everything as opposed to having stuff in multiple places.
  6. I don't hate FB for what they are, just I hate FB for what it is Came off it about 18months ago - Same crap everyday 'I'm currently eating, I just got out the bath, I'm going to cook dinner etc' Then everyone's checking it 24/7 - There is more to life that FB Not their fault you've got boring friends
  7. Why the hate for FB? At least they're up front about their privacy measures, not so sure I can say the same for the WhatsApp lot.
  8. Saw that last night. At first I was disappointed that Chris wasn't saying anything during the track stuff, but when he says at the end that he realised that he might never get a chance to drive one again and that he wanted to just enjoy it rather than ramble, I completely understood. Not great journalism that bit, not very professional even, but every single petrolhead can understand exactly where he's coming from. Instantly forgiven. Good rapport with the McLaren guy too, who seemed refreshingly bullsh*t free.
  9. You pay $1 for a year subscription, or so the BBC report. I don't use it myself, don't see the point really.
  10. See, that's how I view Banzai and Jap Performance et al. Clearly aimed at a younger audience though, I know that.
  11. Evo, because the style of writing appeals to me. Car, because they have the highest quality journalism and get in-depth scoops no-one else gets close to. Total 911, because I like cars with the engines in the wrong place.
  12. Fail, it was advertised a free for everyone to celebrate 1M sales. That's what the 3GB update is for, so if you don't get it then the update pretty much does nothing.
  13. I hope not. I'd rather a close season than one team dominating. Even though I do want Lewis to win it!
  14. Name me a driver that wouldn't? The RB car will be challenging for wins by mid-season, if not earlier. I have full faith in Newey, if not Renault.

    I need a 4x4!!

    Yeah, damn heavy those hoses

    I need a 4x4!!

    Cripes, I wouldn't buy an X5 of that vintage unless I had deep pockets just in case. Put it this way, you could easy double that £4K in the first year if something goes pop. I'd be looking at either a much cheaper and smaller 4x4 if you must, or a FWD car of some kind. Like my old favourite, a mk1 Focus.
  17. OMG Road America now available as free DLC!!!

    what new car?

    See, I find any non-M cars to be dull places to be, regardless of turbo and LSD (a car doesn't need one to be fun, y'know), and couldn't see a 135i of any power output this side of 500bhp to be fun. A good 1M yes, or the E46 M3, but not the shopping trolley models. Still great cars, don't get me wrong, but if I was buying as a fun car I'd want a little pizazz to go with the (probably) grey car.

    what new car?

    I wouldn't say a 335 or 135 is either, but their on the OPs list regardless. Besides, he didn't ask for better!
  20. Maybe I'm thinking of LPL, on second thoughts. Never tried LP, so apologies for any confusion.
  21. Lime Prime is fine for soft paint, it's as mild as anything, Unless you're polishing to remove defects, there's no need to clay or strip the wax off. Just wash and top up the wax, until you get to the point where you feel you need to start again (once a year should be enough).
