    Corvette GTR?

    That's the Hennessey 'Vette Stingray, doesn't look that much different from a standard C7CS really. And yes, they have pinched the ugly arse from the GTR, as well as the front from an FF.
  2. I don't like the extra welding on that exhaust at all. It looks a bit pony, never mind it's just another billion points for the exhaust to fail. There's no reason to do that over just bending the pipework, unless their goal was to make extra work for themselves and hike the price up because it looks a bit different.
  3. Thanks for clearing that up! I did wonder what they were. And not sure about Claying yet! Maybe when I get bored of waxing! Claying is the most satisfying bit of cleaning for me, when you lightly glide your fingers over the paint and feel the difference between clayed and non-clayed bits, it's a revelation the first time.
  4. The fastest car in the world is a hire car. Now proven.
  5. BaT use it for their Iberia trip, not a cheap circuit but far from members only. Whether the circuit themselves have a day available you could get onto is another story.
  6. Perhaps, but see this Sticky here for my opinions on the subject What I will say is that the only keeping you in contact with the road are four very small pieces of rubber. With that in mind, is that where you want to be saving money?
  7. You will, easily. The VUS aren't that tough really, which is why they provide outstanding feel. The MPSS give nigh-on equal feel, but last a shed load longer. Really, unless you are stone broke and cannot afford the extra £200 to even chuck on a credit card for a couple of months, there is no reason not to fit the MPSS these days. They are the best tyre available in all departments, full stop.
  8. Connect iPhone to computer, drag photos off, upload to the internet either via your own webspace or somewhere like Photobucket. Alternatively, download the Photobucket app and upload directly from there.
  9. Judgemental? Perhaps, but there's a clear cut case between right and wrong when it comes to jumping a red light. It boils down simply to not paying attention to the roads, and while I can understand people perhaps drifting in concentration doing 70mph along a 40 mile stretch of motorway, I don't believe there's any room for lack of concentration on urban roads where you have traffic lights. It boils down to good driving and bad driving, and by not paying attention to something as glaringly obvious as red lights, what else have you missed? I do make a solid call between missing a red light and jumping one on purpose: The first insinuates a lazy driver who is lacking awareness and possibly dangerous in some situations, and the latter is a complete ***** who is a definite danger. Seems fair enough to me.
  10. I'd rather have aids Good AIDS or Bad AIDS? And it's a 911 they should've bought
  11. Not the Toyos. I like the VUS, but have yet to try the 453. My hatred for the infernal bands of slop that were the 452 is legendary, however I've heard good things about the 453 from people that know their tyres so they could be worth a punt. VUS have incredible feedback though, and I mean from the tyres themselves when you're using them: They really communicate what the car is doing superbly. But yeah, the extra cost of the MPSS will give you a tyre that is not only the definitive performer right now, but long term you'll save a fortune as it will last much longer than any of the other three.
  12. Not enough random banning for daring to hae an opinion to be an OcUK forum

    God damn you're quick CS!

    Exhaust Help

    Very common, see one of the traders on here for a quality replacement solution. Don't forget to tell your insurer though if not fitting a standard exhaust
  15. Brake is the DM's favourite anti-speeding group. I don't speed any more, lesson learnt. I did it once that entire trip, never sped in the UK and never sped in Europe since. I agree, it's stupid and pointless and should be saved for the track, which is what I do. I didn't realise you don't speed either, well done on being one of the sensible few. Are you now saying you go through amber, and not red? 'Cos that's not what you were saying earlier, was it?
  16. Brake have a new member I see. You're not actually very good at this sarcasm thing, are you?
  17. I have no feelings either way. I'm sure you're actually a decent person in the flesh, and that it's just your posts on here that come across somewhat odd. Tbh I'm the same at times. Whilst me mocking your parking is one thing, and really is only meant in jest as you're not actually hurting anyone, jumpind red lights is about as dangerous as it gets.
  18. I did, what was your point again? Like I said, I did some stupid things when i was younger that I learnt my lessons from. Hopefully when you grow up a bit you'll realise that driving through red lights on purpose is somewhat retarded. Again, I've never jumped a red light, and there is simply no good reason or excuse for it. How many times/different ways do you want me to say it?
  19. I've got an older i7 running my NAS, now that's what you call a waste of power!
  20. I spent 10 mins trying to figure out how to say that without making it complicated, and gave up. Then along comes Alex and does it first time
  21. My PC has some kind of i7, as much RAM as I could fit into it and a couple of SSDs and a couple of normal hard drives. I've no idea what gfx card it has, nor sound card. Sadly, I stopped caring about PC tech a few years ago, and now I just use it for interwebbing and photo/video editing. My consoles are for my games, no need to faff around with silly settings chasing that extra 1fps and 1080p on a 55" telly is better than billionty res on a 27" monitor. I used to love all the tech and modding, I was heavily into that scene back in the day via PC Format and the forums there.
  22. I'll have a look for some of mine when I get home, good idea I'm just hoping you've banned GF Williams from this else there's no point in playing!
