  1. Nope. RONG Pixies are ace. Proper quality leg ends. Some of the 'songs' on here may be big, but then so are 1D. In music, popularity is not a great definition of quality.
  2. And the biggest crime of all, holding the phone the wrong way up! Turn his TV on the side next time you're round his. It's the only way they'll learn.
  3. Sweet jesus they're awful Sorry dude, but they look the cheap and cheerful Halfords specials they are, especially on something tasty like an RRS. As long as you're happy is the main thing, but I really do think it looks ruined.
  4. In order of quality, from utter rubbish to acceptable to superb: Tape converter FM modulator Massive gap Bigger than that Even bigger still Bose hack New stereo No contest, really. I tried the tape thing first and discovered why people stopped listening to tapes as soon as they could (horrible magnetic twangy sound), then the FM thing and discovered that we have too many radio stations in this country for it to work properly and they're very underpowered, and then once I'd finished wasting my money I bought a new head unit and all was wonderful with the world. No longer did my iPod sound like it was stuck in a jar with the lid on, nor crackling every couple of mins: It sounded like it was bloody supposed to. Nice, twice.

    I'm like the three-legged mangy family dog that brings you your slippers. Mostly useless, but every now and then exactly what you need
  6. Direct from Hoonigan website. They're pretty reasonable, not been on there in a while so I wonder if they've any new ones...

    Check out the MPSCs then
  8. I have lots of Hoonigan shirts: MTHR, Tyre Slayer, yellow logo and the white with black logo

    As it's for track, save yourself the effort and go buy some cheap battered Rays for a few hundred quid, then shod them in standard size 888s. I wouldn't really bother considering any other setup for track, you'll end up costing yourself a small fortune for zero gain.

    Pilot Sport Cups? That's what the GT3s run, so definitely available in 19". Just don't ask the price...
  11. I think it's an age thing, but new music definitely appeals to me much less than it a few years back. Last decent song I heard on the radio was from Taylor Swift, and I don't mean the Ed Sheeran one.
  12. The best sports car of a generation, bar none. For it to beat a 12c on track, even with the McLaren on road tyres, is incredible. From what I can see from the vid, the GT3 has a much improved upshift on the PDK as well over the regular 991s, which I've always found ponderous on occasion. The worst part for me is that I'll probably never drive one, as no OPCs are getting a demo car and even my talents in the way of blag probably won't get me a drive in one at Silverstone PEC. Still, I'm just grateful that it exists. And dear god that noise over 7k rpm!
  13. Just don't look at the profile if you own the ragtop version and have the roof up... 'Challenging' is being kind 370Z got it so much better in that regard.
  14. F*ck me that's just noise. Sounds like a rip-off of that harlem shake nonsense that was popular for 5 mins a little while ago.
  15. There will always be a need for constant fettling when you convert a stock engine to FI, and some people aren't ready for that (I wasn't when I did my MR2), but others are happy to live with it and either sort it themselves, or chuck money at it. A lack of knowledge shouldn't necessarily be a reason to not go FI.
  16. I dread to think of the insurance, but otherwise they're good cars. Jo loves her MCS cab, and we did look at the Roadsters too but they were simply too expensive for what they were.
  17. I think it'll be superb, as both machines are nigh-on identical so should make programming for them equally a piece of cake. I can't see either console coming out as a 'winner', as MS don't care about Japan (mainly because no-one there cares about them!) and Sony always use the Japan figures to bump up their relatively poor showing in the US. It'll be neck and neck through the next five years, as people are now committed to either their GS or their Trophys, and that makes people stick with one brand more than any one exclusive.
  18. You won't make 5.9 in a standard Zed, unless you fancy destroying your drivetrain. Manufacturer figures rarely tell the truth on these. Non-premium brands over exaggerate, premium brands under estimate as a rule.
  19. Which makes a 3.9s in a Zed the more impressive, as you've got all that torque to deal with and stop the wheels spinning up. It's why the 600bhp GT2RS is slower to 60 than the 500bhp Turbo PDK.
  20. It would need sticky tyres, an incredible launch and very swift gearchanges, but it's doable. Put it this way, my 911 has been timed at 3.9secs with 385bhp, PDK, 1500kg AND launch control, so for a manual car to do that with a bit more power is seriously impressive. Or there's no clutch left
  21. Seems decent enough, what was the vandalism damage? Must've been a fair amount of vandalism to push it to Cat D.
