  1. Top choice fella Mate of mine has the same car (SMG convertible) in Estoril, great fun to drive.
  2. Possibly, or they may just be very busy. Not a great excuse, I know, but plausible. Ian's right though, start making notes of days and times of things, you may need them.
  3. That wasn't my question. What I'm trying to get at it is how quickly you went back to the garage, as that could help or hinder you should you need to take this further. Again, is this the first time you mentioned it to them? Bearing in mind it's still under warranty, why did you not go back to them sooner? You went to the effort of asking here and going to CS, so clearly it was bothering you.
  4. Yeah, it's definitely not if it doesn't have two intakes. You've been sold a duffer there matey, sorry. Pic of the engine bay?
  5. I'm not splitting hairs, I'm being correct. It's no different to saying "My car had alloys fitted to it", when you really mean that you had put some aftermarket wheels on. We shouldn't except people being wrong as the norm, especially with terminology.
  6. I'd say your pretty safe. Is this the first time you've brought the matter to their attention? If not, why did you not do so earlier? Not trying to be a pain, I'm just asking the same questions you'll be asked in court.
  7. But they're still coilovers, are they not? As in a coil over a damper?
  8. How long ago did you purchase it? What does CS think the problem is?
  9. I like Vettel, both as a person and as a driver. Whilst I think he makes some dubious choices behind the wheel at times, from what I've seen of him on the tellybocks he comes across really well, and as someone who takes life a little less seriously than most. His talent is almost peerless really, and for sure that could change a person, but he seems about as normal as anyone could be in his place. Irritatingly, Alcocko is also going up in my opinion lately as well. Now he seems to have some balls and criticise Ferrari openly as well as saying that he'd go back to McLaren now that Ron has gone, he's altogether much more likeable.
  10. Pretty sure that all S2000s are on coilovers, are they not? A lot of it is to do with the geo of the cars, as well as the suspension setup. The later cars also moved to decent rubber, as well as bigger and heavier wheels. They're not a particularly snappy or bad-handling car, but much like the CGT you have to know what you're doing with regards to setup to get the most out of them.
  11. I always thought owners of the older cars were swingers
  12. Ekona

    Alpha 4C

    I prefer the Alfa. Also, the lights are so hideous I would never ever contemplate owning one.
  13. Source? That's a spectacularly poor lap in the Exige S. No chance one of those is only a second slower round the Ring than a Zed!
  14. Kinda what I was thinking. Unless that wasn't what he meant, of course.
  15. Only 1.57M copies sold in the UK, though. Not really that far ahead of the previous best-selling game, BLOPS2 at 1.41M.
  16. And with the missus out of the room. She gets awfully narky if I crack one out in front of her.
  17. Yeah, it's a pretty tough call. I've always gone out on track like you, at my own risk (hence bringing the '5 to Anglesey!) and accepted the cosequences. Touch wood I've been lucky so far. I've yet to witness a car on car incident on track, plety of car to scenery ones though. I still reckon if he'd had a decent solicitor then he'd have been okay. Defending yourself is asking for trouble though, unless you're 100% convinced of your argument and can prove it beyond ANY doubt.
  18. Wait, what? Are you saying you have a 309bhp car, but that the engine only has one air filter? If so, then I don't think you have a 309bhp car...
  19. Lovely, ta. Nowt in there about Porsche though They'll use a version of their V8 that they ran in the RS Spyder and the 918 though, I suspect.
  20. N I doubt it. It's a hot race, sure, but any worse than the early flyaway races? Nope, there was a definite lack of charisma in there which seemed very odd to me. I love watching those bits and I wish they'd mike the room up a little better, it gives a real insight as to the drivers and their feelings without PR people standing around. Also, got a link to Porsche usig 4pots? If they do, I'll stand in the middle of the town centre with a sandwich board saying "I HEART MIXED TYRES".
  21. Women are pretty. Cars are pretty. Combine the two and you're onto a winner.
