But that's because people keep asking the same questions over and over and over again, which means the actual knowledge gets spread across multiple threads and it makes it harder for the next person to find what they need. In turn, they then create another thread about the same subject and so the cycle continues. I don't mind people asking the same stuff again, as long as they've had a go searching, either via Google or via the search function here.

I'm back bitches This wheel is f*cking amazing, even with the cheaper pedals as the three-pedal set isn't available yet. So much feedback it makes your arms ache, but it never feels excessive. The F1 car is just crazy with this setup, way more mental that with just a pad! Mega bucks, but mega brilliant.

Soooooon... Hollyoaks first!

And it broke again Very bizarre really: I left it overnight installing DR3 on disc, and downloading all my other games. I went to try it this morning and it wouldn't recognise any disc at all, nor play any game that didn't need a disc. I gave it 10 mins of faffing, then went to work. Spoke to Xbox support (the same guy, he rang me actually to make sure everything went okay, top service) and he said that it sounded like I'd got another duff one with disc drive issues, which isn't unheard of. He's going to call me back later to run through a few diagnostics before sending me out another unit. However... I came home and thought I'd give it another go, but this time shut it down properly not using the quick start feature, and lo and behold it's all fixed! Everything works fine, discs are read as normal as I'm installing Ryse as we speak, and I can play games again. FYI, when you load a game there's a small bit of time between 20 secs to 1 min whilst it downloads your saves from the cloud, then it's as if you never left it. So in short, if you have an issue then call Xbox Support on 0800 587 1102 and they will bend over backwards to help you out, don't bother with the lying turds online Now to plug my wheel in and see what Forza 5 is meant to be like

It's fine. It's been around for years now, it's just the E85 (which is mostly ethanol) that you can't use.

Definitely not N15. Looks like a try-hard plate.

Do yourself a favour and get yourself booked in at Center Gravity with Chris, before the race season starts and he's fully booked. Best £300 you will ever spend, he'll transform the car for you.

Got Spa the same month sadly, so will probably have to give that one a miss. Def need to book some other days up soon though, give us a shout if you've anything else planned

Sounds like a fair swap, BM for BM I'm down in Essex, sadly. I get a nosebleed if I go north of Watford

As I've always said, 99% of the time you probably won't notice the difference, but on that odd occasion where you desperately need predictable and equal grip all round to avoid ditch/wall/lorry, you'll be glad you did it right.

Depends if he wants the sale or not.

IT LIVES AGAIN No need to put the discs in either, you can just download the games if you've had them installed previously. I'm sure I'll need the disc to play still, but it's a nice touch. For some odd reason it doesn't remember that I've got Ryse, Lego Marvel and DR3 as well though, so will do those in a bit.

3.8 litres and 6 cylinders to 5 litres and 10 cylinders? Seems like a step forward to me I know what you're getting at though mate, and you're right, but there's something to be said for a completely different ownership experience. I don't use the 911 as a sports car any more, it's mostly as a long distance cruiser. Put it this way, would the M6 have been any less fun on my Spain trip? Or doing LM this year? Or raping it round the IoM? Probably not.

ssssssshhhhhhh the credit card will hear you

Tyres and servicing aren't any more than the 911, which isn't any more than the 350Z was, but the fuel thing is definitely a huge jump from the current 30mpg I get from the Porker. I could live with 19mpg though, as I only got 23mpg out of the Zed so no hassle dropping back down. It's more the range that causes issues, as I like getting 400+miles out of a tank on a run atm. Still, the Zed isn't much better, so that's not a huge issue I guess.

Just fit the spacers, see what happens.

To tire is to exhaust energy, to be drained, to be cream crackered. See also: Aluminium.

Bargain

OH NOES SOMEONE HAS MENTIONED THE RACE CARD QUICK CALL THE DAILY MAIL

I don't personally like the looks of either, but it's a good alternative to mention. The 959 never looked that much different from the other 911s though, whereas the F40 didn't look anything like the other F-cars of the time. Also the F40 still has that mythical status about it, something the 959 never had as it wasn't the first to do 200mph.

New Xbone is here! \o/ Be interesting to see how long it takes to set everything back up again now I actually have a profile. Installing the games from disc will be the worst bit.

I meant LF as in Ferrari, not a typo of the Lexus LFA. Stupid Ferrari naming their cars stupid names in a stupid way.

T1R was not replaced by the R1R. R1R was a completely new addition to bridge the gap between R888 and T1R. T1R is an old tyre now, and the smaller sizes it comes in gives you a clue as to the target market compared with the much-newer and superior T1 Sport. As long as you're happy with them, and got them for a bargain, that's all that matters.

You don't think the CGT looks elegant, and the SLR bland? I love the P1, and as a current car it's stunning to look at. It's just got too many odd lines that will date quickly. The LF isn't as pretty now, but it'll hold up better across the years.

Seems to be the general consensus from other owners, too. I reckon you'd get maybe 23mpg on a run in low power mode, but could you resist gunning it given the chance? The more I think about this car, the more it has me completely split. I adore that engine, and the style of it ticks boxes, and from a pure heart perspective I crave it. From a more sensible viewpoint, could I really live with such a short range and with something that needs to be driven at silly speed to really enjoy? I genuinely do not know.
