Exactly, just when you think that Vauxhall couldn't get any worse...

Vauxhall have gone down, not up

Well when the bar is that low...

My current weapon of choice, affectionately known as “The Battle Bus” Marvel at the mighty 2003 Vauxhall Omega 2.2dti! Look at the non-functioning sunroof and the oxidisation surrounding it! Witness the power of the rust spots on the bonnet! Behold the scrape on the front corner where Battle Bus met huge lorry! Enjoy the stunning fix of duct tape holding the wing mirror on until the resin I’ve just put on sets! Lap up the external trim hanging off! And finally be proud of that sh*tty Vauxhall interior with a non-functioning stereo, along with a Magic Tree desperately trying to rid the car of the smell of rose wine where I broke a whole bottle in there the other week! (second Magic Tree ready to go) I know, you’re jealous. That’s ok. I understand. Battle Bus and her 145k miles approve of your lust.

Uk zeds, I mean.

S’okay, apparently all Zeds have HIDs after talking with @StevoD earlier, so I’m totally in the dark ( ) as to why all pre-facelift owners moan about their crappy lights now

And not for the first time.

Mind blowing. The punch from the corners is just insane! And this his is why Porsche are the best manufacturer in the world

Also worth pointing out now that only OEM HIDs will pass an MOT:All after market stuff is a fail. Is your car a Revup? Does it rev to 7000rpm and have the nicer interior, basically.

Common sense, you would hope. But then if you had that, you wouldn’t have been speeding there in the first place

Exactly the right way to do it!

You’re right, I’m getting it mixed up with the £40k extra payment. Just the first year, then.

Interior is sh*t (who signed off on those seats?!). Exterior a billion times better than the bland DB11. Gaping mouth will be fine once you get a plate on there. Bonnet nostrils are chav central, but then that's been the case with all modern AMs that seem to have those even though I've no doubt they're needed on this version. Also, please find a better website to crib from. The quality of journalism on Carbuzz makes PH look like Shakespeare.

After the first few years, anyway.

Brodit not do one?

It’s peanuts. You either want the car or you don’t, do it for you not the next owner.

Unless she’s paying, she doesn’t get a say

Weird, thought I’d replied to this! Go with what Shezza says, that’s exactly what I’d do. 4S are def better than the 4, although I’m on the 4 right now and they’re spectacular for a daily drive: I can only imagine how good the 4S are.

You just need better commuting roads I know what you mean though. I love fast road driving, but I still need a good track day blast every now and then to really let me open the car right up.

Definitely affordable, they're probably the cheapest way of entering motorsports in this country The trouble is, like with all motorsport, is that if you want to be competitive then you need to spend money and that's where the costs ramp up. Tbh a track day here or there will likely be cheaper, but obviously not the thrill of competing.

Autocross is far from drifting, it's more akin to hillclimbing here where the idea is to be neat and tidy rather than wild and slidey. And yes, we have plenty of hillclimbing events here, but if you want to do drifting then that's another thing. Look for the DWYB days at Rockingham, Santa Pod etc.

2nd looks better to me, and I reckon you’ll be fine with regards to touching the arches since that’s a very common rear width for Zeds, albeit usually on 19s.

Don’t put the same size tyres all round, it’ll become very oversteery. Carry on playing with the calculator, try and keep within 3% difference of stock settings with 20-40mm difference in width front to rear. I’ll have a go later when I’m near the pc for you.

^^^That's how I see it too.
