Nope, never going to be banned. There was talk that they wouldn't be able to be made when the EU brought in these regs that tyres must last for a certain amount of time, but they got that bit of legislation spot-on and all it did was to kill the seriously crappy chinese tyres and left us with the good stuff Give them a go, you'll love them.

Fixed It all depends on what your insurance policy says. If it's one of the Admiral group it will say something like "anything that alters the car from the specification from which a standard car would leave the factory, including any options or dealer-fit accessories" or words to that effect. Others are less strict. As I said, tell them everything and you can never be at fault. Including stubbies.

It's down to the insurer, end of. Some will not care about anything, as long as it does not increase power. Some will charge you if you so much as change the gear knob. The only safe answer is to tell them about absolutely everything, and let them make the call.

Got them delivered today (great service by DT), so had them fitted this afternoon. Now, I know they're brand new. I know the release agent is still to come off. I know the roads are cold and slippery. BUT HOLY FREAKIN' CRAP I HAVE SO MUCH GRIP I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT ALL!!! :D I really, really love these tyres. R888s FTW FTW!* *For the winter for the win

What car are you using then?

I've got three Dreamcasts

I'm currently doing the PH challenge, so it's Alps Festival in class C for me with this: Ekona BRZ 2:02.725 Clean We can do a Spa one as well if you like, I don't have any A700 cars though I don't think.

Wot no original MS??!! Nice setup, I like that you have them on display. Mine are all shoved in boxes in the loft. How small does the SNES look against the others though?!

Yeah but primarily you bought it for yourself didn't you ??? So you're not doing it for a 'look at me' effect, you didn't do it to show off, it just so happens that that item is considered by some to be desirable. Probably a better way of phrasing it than I used, fair play. I think there's a distinction between showing off and bragging though. Showing off would be when someone gets a set of wheels they like and puts pics up of them on their car after a full day working on cleaning it; bragging would be spending a small fortune on blingy parts and putting them on just because you can, with no effort done yourself other than writing the cheques.

My e-peen is huge, Xbone and a 911! I can't speak for others, but I enjoyed showing off the fact I've got an Xbone. I work bloody hard for my money, and I like buying new shiny things, and I'll be buggered if I'm going to be ashamed of that. I won't flaunt it like a twit, but I won't hide the fact either.

Scary. I will say though that people shouldn't assume that dealers = bad and indies = good: You can get some great main dealers (I used to use Glyn Hopkin in Stortford and they were excellent) as well as some pretty poor 'specialists' (I had a very poor experience at Everything MX5 in Romford). As always, evaluate as best you can but don't keep your tin foil hat or your rose-tinted spectacles on permanently

He had no legal comeback other than what was offered. That sucks, and I feel for him, but that's why he went public and told everyone the truth. If (and I know it's an if) he's now getting better treatment from EH but only if he deletes what was said on the internet then that's cowardly and selfish, and blights the community. Hushing something up is disgraceful after the truth has already been released.

Both consoles were rushed to market sadly, but then neither company wanted to miss this holiday period. You're right, they were getting paid, but with the bulging market that is the trade-in market along with the huge increase in dev costs, they had to do something to maintain a profitable business.

Yes. They've been ace with me with the MX5 and MR2, very helpful and amazingly competitive.

If that's the reason it's been deleted, then the OP is a coward and I hope karma rapes his face off.

Webber didn't take too many points from Vettel that I can remember, and Ricciardo will have a point to prove. I can see why double points is getting peoples' backs up, but tbh I don't mind that much. Could well make Abu Dhabi an interesting race for a change!

It's not that, it's down to how the development of the game runs. Dan from Turn10 explained it that they spend months working on the actual game and nothing but the game, then when that main part is done you suddenly have a bunch of guys sat around doing nothing. Well, they then start working on other cars with the part of the team that only does cars, and those cars are finished after the cut-off date for the actual game. They cannot then go into the main one, but can be finished in time to be put on the store as DLC. Obviously those guys need to be paid for their time, so that's why you pay for DLC and it's not just free. I've no doubt that perhaps one or two cars could've been included in the game, but then people would complain that the DLC was too little and wouldn't have coughed up so it also makes financial sense to hold those two back. I have no issues with DLC or MTs or anything like that in games. Sometimes I'll pay for them regardless if I'm a huge fan (Forza, Mass Effect) and sometimes I won't bother at all despite really enjoying the game (Dishonored, Dead Space). Make it worth my while and I don't mind paying for it.

^^^ That is one of the best posts I've ever read on here. I know I say this often, but I absolutely could not agree with any of that any more. Great stuff matey

I actually really like the made up tracks now. In previous games they were crap and dull and I'd avoid them if poss, but the Alps ones are superb, as is Prague. Quality over quantity, fo sho. I have a confession: I don't miss the Ring at all

I'm never buying physical again. You can get the limited editions in digital now too, and I don't mind paying a fiver extra for the benefit of never having to swap discs.

Added Took me a while to get used to it too, but then that's 'cos I'm used to playing with a wheel. I think that you really need to get the hang of tuning the handling of the car now, my BRZ is much more drivable since I started fiddling with camber, castor and toe than just tyre pressures as you used to be able to get away with.

nope what?? Nope, there isn't a stupidly long wait time to get one. I've no doubt that there's a good few sold, but they're an incredibly rare sight on the roads: They make the 370 look popular. There hasn't been 350,000 GT86s produced worldwide, much less registered in the USA! Source, and it's the owner's club too There will be no new Supra. If there is, I'll take a bath in jelly. Green jelly, at that.

Nope.

Trouble is, when was the last time Toyota did that? Last gen Supra I think, 20 years ago? To compete it would realistically need 400bhp and be under £40K. Never in a billion years.
