  1. Not really: Remind me when the Golden Globes are again? Model years are increasingly turning to the US way of doing things, so a MY14 car would actually have been released in 2013. No surprises to see things going that way as a rule. Also, there's a certain amount of journalistic publicity to be had from getting their first with their COTY award, so don't forget that. Although perhaps I'm giving What Car? too much credit with regards to 'journalism' and 'knowing what the f*** they're talking about'.
  2. Do you also run a bottle of injector cleaner, or 10K Boost, or EGR cleaner, or any one of other much more potent cleaners through the car system as well? They will make a billion times more difference than switching from supermarket to premium fuel will. Not saying I completely disagree with your logic: Indeed, I sometimes run a tank of 97 in the MR2 instead of the usual supermarket 95 for a similar reason, but then I also back that up with a good dose of the hard stuff once in a while.
  3. Only if it's successful And if it is, expect RB, Ferrari and McLaren to object and have it ruled illegal after the first test.
  4. My missus would love that engine bay. Like proper, must-have-in-her-life adore.
  5. Oh. My. God. :lol: :lol: Seb's gonna f*** ya! EDIT No wait, that's the Toro Rosso, isn't it? In that case, JEV's gonna f*** ya instead!
  6. Any fuel 97RON or higher is perfectly fine for any Zed. Freshness is ultimately more important than RON, so a busy BP station may well be a better bet than a quiet Shell.
  7. Cooling off period only counts if cancelled before the insurance starts, so if you do that then you'd still have to pay the initial cover fee on it which could be 50% of the premium. How about pay the garage to deliver it? Okay, you don't get to drive it, but could actually be cheaper.
  8. Me too, it's not even included in the 'what to do if your controller stops working' help page on the Xbox site! Still made no difference as the issue is there even if I use a cable.
  9. As I said in the other thread, make me an offer and we'll see what we can do
  10. I'm always open to offers on it... Still well worth the money in my eyes, and I'm not too fussed with a couple of issues as I've been amazingly lucky with electronics over the years: Certainly my issue here doesn't seem to be common amongst other owners.
  11. My Xbone is b0rked No controllers will sync either via kinect or with a cable, gotta send the whole shebang off for repair. Not having a lot of luck with it this week!
  12. GLOL :lol: My missus says that, if you look at the MP4-29 from the front on, it looks like Jar-Jar Binks...
  13. Perhaps. Tbh I'm ill right now so judgement on my part may have been harsh, apologies. Still seems odd that a website would have 16K legit links to it.
  14. Sorry Pallett mate, didn't mean that to sound like I was having a pop, apologies if it came across that way Really appreciate you taking the time to post all that up, gives me a good clue as to where I'm going wrong with my tunes
  15. Wait, so you're upset that all those cheap SEO tricks will no longer work, and you'll actually have to put some effort into advertising your website? Or have I got that completely wrong?
  16. You could just have shared it online and we could've got it that way, but 10/10 for effort dude
  17. You guys sharing your tunes? I wouldn't mind a go with one, just to see.
  18. Perhaps not on novice days if everyone is a genuine novice, but that's very hard to police. It won't be the case every time, I know, but worth thinking of. Also, the best trackdays I've ever done have been in the wet. Really sorts the proper drivers from those that just have oodles of power.
  19. Claire was so hawt back in those days before she ate the other two
  20. Anyone who films like that should have their TV turned 90 degrees and put on it's end. See how they like it. Anyway, I'm buying a C7 as my next car. End of.
  21. ARGH WHEN WILL PEOPLE STOP FILMING LIKE UTTER TARDS :rant: :rant:
  22. I find sessions more hectic, as you find people driving flat out for 20 mins as they feel they need to get their money's worth regardless of how they or the car is fairing. Not so bad on single-marque owner's club days (vx220.org at Anglesey with BaT was a highlight), but on mixed days it can be a little more iffy. When doing open pit, I just avoid the first 30 mins in the morning, let the nutters go out and go mental for a bit before you go out.
  23. Absolutely agree with this, but when I get insurance it's not because I'm worried about myself, it's to protect my pride and joy from someone else being an idiot. That's where the real risk lies IMHO, in someone else driving like a tit and hitting you.
