  1. Yeah, thrilling topic for a Saturday, I know. Apologies for that. So I'm coming to the end of my fixed term dual fuel with EDF. Now I like EDF as a company: They've been good to me, and allow me to pay monthly using my own reads, something I massively prefer as it stops me overpaying (so they get more money than they should) or underpaying (so I have to find a wedge of cash from somewhere). I've been looking around to lock myself back into a fixed deal again and there's a few options, however we want to move house later this year. It's going to be in the same area, so no issues with the supplier not being able to supply us with the energy we need. My question is thus: If I move property, do I break the contract for energy supply and have to pay any forfeit clause, or can I just keep the same contract running on a new house? I've no real issues either way, as I can afford to be on the variable rate for a 3/4 of a year and EDF's isn't that bad either, but it would be nice to save a bit extra by tying myself in but only if I can still move house. Cost of moving house > cost of staying on variable rate! Anyone done this, or have a definitive answer? And just to liven the thread up, here's Batman riding a robotic unicorn whilst surrounded by dolphins and a rainbow:
  2. What Lotus? What Ferrari? It's like saying that I managed to keep up with a Nissan whilst driving my Ford: Could be Micra vs GT, or GT-R vs Fiesta
  3. That's so cute!

    Double declutching isn't something you need to do with modern gearboxes with synchromesh. Certainly it's not a technique I ever use, or have ever used for that matter. I guess I could train myself pretty quickly to do it, but a decent HaT (is there an acceptable shortened version of that?! I got pilloried on PH for saying heel/toe!) does all you'll ever need it to.

    Guess you didn't ask/know before buying? Frustrating when that happens, but you can probably sell it on to someone else for what you paid for it.

    Did we ever show a video on this? A good display of what you should be doing.
  7. That's the best thing about them, as it stop the players who live on there 24/7 and reach lvl 2593 prestige having access to all the best stuff, and the more casual player nothing. This is a must-buy across Xbone, 360 and PC if you like these games, I think.

  11. Damn, if I'd only I'd known about it sooner
  12. Ah, Frank. Utter bellend on forums, despite his undoubted deep pockets and knowledge of car engineering. Still an aggressive twit.
  13. Meeting in car parks is never cool, regardless of car owned.
  14. Is that like Grindr?
  15. Best engine of any car I've ever driven, barring the M6. Great chassis, too
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. Makes sense tbh, one app for everything as opposed to having stuff in multiple places.
  19. 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
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. You pay $1 for a year subscription, or so the BBC report. I don't use it myself, don't see the point really.
  23. See, that's how I view Banzai and Jap Performance et al. Clearly aimed at a younger audience though, I know that.
  24. 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.
