They are a fantastic drive, very (cliché alert!) go-kart in their handling but also very benign if you get the geo sorted. They're quite compromised as a road car in terms of practically no storage space, although I used to be able to pack for camping weekends without too much strain, but as something cheap and fun there's very little that can get near them.

Sells clothes for dwarves.

When the 911 goes next year, I'm getting a Temper HR coupe. Already decided, nothing else comes close to tickling my fancy,

sewer unblocker then ? Come on Andy, get it right. It's Dan so it's......... Sh1t stirrer. GLOL

Only on the motorway. Also, carrying on driving in a motorway lane that has an X above it on the gantry carries the same penalty as jumping a red light. I didn't know that until the other day.

What, racing others or as it is right now where he's winning everything? Either way, I would guess the answer is no. Maybe you don't get that ultimate thrill in beating someone else (other than in qualy and off the start line), but there's still a thrill in racing regardless. Even if that thrill is coming from besting your own lap times or simply hitting every apex perfectly, it's still going to be fun. The trouble is that every single driver on the grid would rather have be in the lead by miles and not really racing anyone rather than be battling for 2/3/4th place and maybe a shot at the win if you're lucky. The Red Bull machine (and I don't mean the car) is just too good at F1 right now for entertainment purposes.

Even if it costs you a couple of hundred quid for another opinion, it could well be worth it long-term. What price your health?

It's a great track. The race last year was superb to watch. I'm just bored of watching drivers pootle round at 70%.

At idle? No. There is zero load on the engine, so it's the least-stressed time. Low RPM? Possibly. Cruising along at 70mph in 6th in something with a big V8 will give you an RPM of around 1500rp which most would consider low, but is by design. No issues there at all. However, if you're trying to pull hard from that kind of RPM in a high gear then yes, that's the worst possible thing to do as it'll be severely straining the drivetrain. It also sounds and feel horrible, which is why no-one really does it (think 30mph in 6th in the Zed: Doable, but if you try and accelerate the car hates it!). My 911 will be in 7th by 45mph, but if you try and accelerate to any degree in auto mode it'll drop a couple of gears to assist.

I would imagine selecting the connection then selecting 'forget this network' will do it,

You can have mine for £800, I won't take a single thing off it either. Just fancied a change really, I've had the '5 for two years now so time for something different.

I reckon Hugh gets closest with two MR guesses My fourth MR2. I've known this car since the first owner bought it, modified the hell out of it, then put it back to stock and sold it to another friend of ours. He then stripped it and converted it for track use, and I've now picked up a bargain as he needs the cash for a house move. Engine is standard, but it's got an Apexi intake and Cobra exhaust on either end of it. Suspension is uprated GT ARBs front and rear, fully adjustable suspension arms, and BC Racing BR:RH coilovers. Internally it's got a Sparco Sprint V seat and 3" 4pt harness on the driver side with a B&M short shifter too. Soft top has also been removed and the hardtop fitted instead, for weight savings. It's to replace the MX5 which will be departing shortly, and is completely ready to go on track from day one. Looking forward to giving her a bloody good clean and then a bloody good thrash!

It's pointless though. The 'continuous heavy snow' will be in the highlands where it always is, the north of England will see a fair bit with the odd occasional massive dumping, and the south will get the odd huge load for a couple of days a couple of times and the end of the world will be proclaimed by those living in London. It'll be cold, freezing, wet, dull and miserable. It always is, every year. They cannot predict with any certainty the weather next week, let alone in a few months, so this is just irritating headline making nonsense.

FFS stop posting this sh*t. It's winter, it gets cold, we get snow, so what?

I actually really like the standard Multipla No-one's got it yet, but it's an addition rather than a replacement. It does currently have mixed tyres on it though, which is somewhat interesting in these conditions!

I really, really must stop buying cars. Any ways, pics to come later when the sun actually rises, but take your guesses now folks. And anyone with insider knowledge is banned from playing!

No real man ever says that a telly cannot be bigger. EVER. Also, what's a Porcshe?

Only 46"? I assume that's for the bedroom? I love my Sammys too

I have no idea on the spinal fusion, sorry mate, but I remember reading loads of horror stories about my back surgery before I had it (including all the risks of it actually being worse after) and it terrified me. I still had it done and, touch wood, I'm now completely healed 18mths on. I know mine is different to yours, but I also know exactly how debilitating it can be living with that kind of pain and mobility issues every single day. I wouldn't think twice about having the surgery, and I'd rather have that than loads of painful injections that are only ever going to be a temporary fix. Get the surgery done and out of the way, then get on with your life. I was only 32 when I had mine done, should've had it done years ago. If you like, I can recommend my surgeon if you fancied a second opinion on things, both he and his team were superb.

Early days, never before have so many consoles been produced and with so many owners close to the internet to complaint if it's only 0.4%, then that's nothing. I'm sure it's frustrating if you're an owner, but it's not the end of the world. Looked like a solid launch for Sony, average review scores for the games aside.

I have a 120GB Intel SSD which contains the OS and common programs (Office, PS, FF, TB, etc) and then I have two standard SATA 2TB drives for data, one of which mirrors the other. Best thing I ever bought, an SSD. I've got a spare one sitting here so that I can use one for editing media rather than using one of the standard drives.

Man, I had no idea it was possible to make the GT-R uglier. Good find Hugh!

Didn't you know? Overtaking is illegal now in the UK. As is doing any more than 40mph on an NSL single carriageway and then less than 40mph in a 30mph zone. Don't worry though, people will be quick enough to let you know if you're breaking these new laws.
