Oddly I've been looking at Evoras a lot in the last week, as a possible next car. I don't know why, but they seem a bit prettier than I used to view them as. A good MY12 NA Evora in Red would be my pick

When a car is that ugly, a possible dodgy paint match would be the last thing on my mind! /unhelpful_post

Pfft, it just needs a little lube is all. A roof that's a rarely used is a roof that will have sticky mechanisms, so get in there and spray some WD40 or whatever on all the slidey bits. I used to drop mine in all sorts of temps, and it never ever gave me an issue. The more you use these things, the better.

Durametric won't give you overrevs, you need the PIWIS for that and buying that is a bit pricier I wouldn't trust PCGB as far as I can throw them with regards to backing someone on overrevs, so definitely get a readout before you take delivery of ANY manual car from any dealer, OPC or otherwise. I was only kidding about buying a demo, it wouldn't put me off at all. A press car may be a different matter, mind you...

Brave man buying a demo car, I know how the test drivers drive those things If it's a manual then make sure you get a rev range read out before buying. They'll tell you it's unnecessary, but it will massively protect you in case you have issues later down the line. No need for that if you go PDK though.

Changed or charged the battery?

Sadly no, only the CR. I'd like to have a go in one, but to get the most out of it you need to drive a version with no aircon, sat nav, leather etc else you're just putting weight back in and missing the point. For me, that's a Porsche I'd like to drive but not one I'd actually like to own. I like my toys in my Pork

I don't see why they should allow any grace at all, tbh. Why 5mins? Why not 10mins? Why not an hour? Why don't people buy a ticket that actually lasts the length of their intended stay in the first place? As with speed cameras, the simple truth is that if people didn't take the mick and try and flout the rules then no-one would ever have reason to complain.

I would expect the Motordyne to be fine, tbh, and you can bung it easily if needs be.

Yes. TLOU is good but I got frustrated at the poor save system and dodgy controls, GTAV feels very natural to me. Completed the main storyline at the weekend, loved it. First GTA game I've ever completed off my own back, too!

Ah, I see. If it were my money then I'd definitely consider a manual 2.7 with some toys over a poverty spec 3.4 PDK, especially if buying from new. Just don't expect to get away with minimal depreciation on these! If you're interested, I'd consider the following to be a must-have: PCM3 Sat nav Sports seats Plus Sport design steering wheel Sports exhaust Anything else would be down to taste (and any worry about resale value), but I wouldn't have a car without those.

Did you drive a manual then?

True, I've never heard a Crapspeed version. I wouldn't have thought there would be that much in it though, volume wise? I don't know though.

If they want to reduce premiums, then reduce IPT. Simple as, but they can't because they need the money.

It's an excellent piece of kit, it really is. Left in auto it'll get to 7th quick as, and return great MPG. Pop it into Sport auto (where I tend to leave it) and it's absolutely perfect, never caught out on gear and adapts all the time if you're pressing on or pootling. Sport Plus is just mental for the road and best left for the track, however Sport Plus and manual mode gives lightning-fast changes with the little thump in the back at WOT, and is how I drive the car when on a blat. It can be a bit clunky on the very first 1-2 shift on a cold morning, but then the oil is stone cold so to be expected. Other than that, it's flawless. It's even quicker on the 9x1 cars.

800x480 res is going to look a bit sh*t. You'll have to add VAT + import duty to the price as well, plus you'll have to return it to HK if anything goes wrong with it at your cost. Buy something decent instead.

Lolwtfbbq Someone can't read a press release' date=' can they? Why on earth would a manual car have a dual-clutch?! Much better link, from PH So yeah, it's a manual or a dual-clutcher. And for $250,000, you'd have to be bonkers.

Christ, I'm in the odd position of completely agreeing with everything Dblock just said. That's an odd feeling. But yeah, the Zed isn't for everyone, sell it and buy something you actually like.

Actually, what did you think of the drive? Be good to hear your opinion.

It's an OPC, what were you expecting? Discounts across the board?! They're worth every penny. IMHO, of course. You don't really need the S, the 2.7 has more than enough grunt and a lovely sweet engine. Hold off on the options unless you desperately want them and you won't find a better car for the money If a 981 is out of reach, see if you can find a 987 R as they're sublime.

I would give serious consideration to not driving the car until you at least have an idea of what the problem is. All three of those lights on after a hard brake would concern me somewhat. It may just be a sensor, but it may be something else a bit more serious, and until you know for sure that's a hell of a risk.

The biggest issue is when people start decatting, most other exhausts are fine up until that point. For example, I only saw 104dB with a K1 with the bungs out, although I always left them in for the actual track out of common sense. There's not a lot else out there that's going to be louder than a K1, however intake choice will make a difference here too.

I'd hang around for £5K. Hell, there's not much I won't do for £5K!

And where do you work again?

To be fair, it could be gross misconduct. Certainly as an employer I would take a very dim view of it. If you're off sick with stress, then I'd be tempted to stay stressed right up until the end of your notice period. if they only give basic references then I wouldn't worry too much. I know I'm coming across as a bit harsh here dude, but I really am trying to be constructive for your sake as much as anything, I hope you're taking my advice the right way as I know how crap all this can be.
