Never personally, but it's not unheard of. Not impossible the vehicle got 'missed' on the day in the workshop, and that the folks on the counter just stamped it up and charged it anyway, but that's still no excuse. I'd be livid. I always check my oil after someone's serviced it, regardless of who they are. Just in case...

Okay, so what must it have/not have? More than 4 cyl? RWD? Front, mid or rear engine? MPG? Loud or subtle? Anything else that the car must or must not do, really. Bodystyle, size, cost to run etc

You'll do exceptionally well to get a 981 for £35K, only one showing at OPCs right now and that's £38K. 987 Boxster and Caymans are bargains right now though, loads of them in budget. If you don't mind FWD then the new ST is worth a punt, as is the Scirocco. That money puts you into a TTRS which would be a fabulous every day car with plenty of poke. Tbh, I wouldn't look further than the M135i right now. It's pretty much the complete package at that sort of money.

Do we have figures for this? Would be nice to have, certainly could do well to back up a claim.

Yeah, I guess you're right. Like I say, it's just a personal thing that I like, and my voting reflected that. Top work from DoogyRev for sorting all this out regardless though

Am I the only one who thinks it would've been nice if the photos were related to the month in some way? There are a few in there (snow in the winter, sun in the summer, buds in the spring and lost leaves in the autumn) but some don't seem to be related to the month at all. I know there was absolutely no brief that they had to be, it's just a personal thing that I like to see in my motoring calendars when I flick over as the months pass. Some very, very impressive shots in there though.

Exactly why I'm still waiting for a response from the FO.

Hats!

Netflix is ace. I would use Lovefilm too but you have to pay for anything approaching a recent film, so the wider selection of Netflix works for me.

Either way, with Grosjean alongside and Maldonado behind Alonso is going to want to get out of there pretty quickly!

That's not quite what he said. He basically didn't comment on it at all, which was a shame as I wanted to hear his opinion on it.

I can't see any other team doing it, regardless of position in the championship. Neither can I see any other driver agreeing to it.

I don't get why he's like that though, 4 years ago he was 1 corner from winning the championship himself. Granted, he's been crap since the spring whacked him in the bounce, but I'd rather drive for a fair team in the middle of the pack than be a complete bitch for another driver at a top team. Can you imagine Webber or Button doing the same for Lewis or Seb?!

I want to hear what Bernie, Martin and Christian say about it.

How can you have any respect for a team that would do this so openly? Makes a mockery of the sport, and they know it.

Ferrari cut the seal on Massa's gearbox to drop him 5 places and put Alcocko on the clean side of the track. Utter disgusting behaviour, and I'm not sure if I'm more fed up with Ferrari cheating like this, Alonso allowing it to happen or Massa for bending over and taking it like the bitch he is. I hope there's a massive crash at the start and both Ferraris retire, I really do.

452 front, 453 rear = understeer 453 front, 452 rear = oversteer I wouldn't, either way. They're massively different tyres.

Holy epic necroposting!

By the time the oil light comes on, you've already damaged your engine. Ridiculous idea, but most cars are the same for some reason.

I'm still waiting for a response from the FO.

On the whole Ferrari/Shell thing, it'll be down to how much money Shell were prepared to pay Ferrari to have their name associated. nothing more. Ferrari would've put the fuel in their cars, made sure they didn't blow up, and then sat back and watched the millions roll in. It's exactly the same as Porsche do with Mobil and their oil at the moment: As long as it's not going to do any harm, then for the amount of money involved they'll quite happily endorse it. Rich is absolutely spot-on here.

:lol:

Possibly the creepiest post I've ever read. On the Internet. Ever.

If other outlets weren't so extortionate I wouldn't! But if they annoy you so much, and never have the product you need, then surely shopping elsewhere would be the best choice? No? You've only had to drive somewhere else costing you more money in fuel, so you might as well drive there in the first place

Hand on heart, I've never visited NFL.com.
