  1. It’s not trolling, it’s called the obvious You don’t think that having something touching the paint directly and moving around isn’t going to affect the paint at all? If you have to clean the car every time before you put the cover on, then why bother with the cover? It’s a mass produced modern car, it’ll be fine exposed to a bit of sun and rain.
  2. Yup, take it back and buy something else instead.
  3. Get that bloody car moved before you start faffing around with concrete dust!
  4. Yup, exactly. Handmade tailored stuff.
  5. I’d love to be that guy who gets to wear decent suits all the time.
  6. 235/255 should be absolutely fine on the Rays, and as JP says you’d never be on track with TCS on anyway.
  7. It’s not important to look like others. It’s also not cool to stick out like a sore thumb. It is cool just to do whatever makes you happy, and to hell with the rest.
  8. Other way round for me. That M8GC end is waaaaay too fussy, but the AMG GT 4DC is significantly better than what we've seen of late on their 4-seat saloon/coupe models (C-Class, I'm looking right at you here). The AMG GT-R is a thing of muscular beauty. So once again, you're wrong.
  9. I'd want that in writing! Check the warranty terms, and especially that on the finance agreement. HNCD!
  10. Always go bigger than you think you need. My 75” looks lost now, should’ve gone 85” really but cost jumped like 10x at the time I bought it.
  11. More and more it’s the tyre screeching noise that carries, hence why a lot of TDOs don’t like you drifting. I just think it’s a shame that the days of the cheap airfield day are looking over. Had great fun on those when starting out.
  12. Nah, man-math either an extension, a separate build, or just a new house to accommodate the tellybox
  13. 1, and unreasonable. Literally that’s it. Doesnt mean theyll act, but it just takes one person to be annoyed and one other person higher up the food chain to agree with them.
  14. Not at all Stock Y-pipe has no cats either, so no fail there as you’ll have the OEM or Torqen HFCs in.
  15. Edit as PH link had expired and I hadn't noticed! Another price drop too

    Makes it sound more like a diesel repmobile. Fewer gear changes? Less throttle input? Oh yay. Also, Active Sound Control? Wait, so like pumping fake sound into the cabin? Brilliant, just what a sports car needs.
  17. Much better, cheers fella I absolutely agree with you, monitoring should be in place, but until we get laws as to what constitutes the exact level of reasonableness (which there will never be) then sadly we have to continue self-policing. My personal opinion is that if you live next to an MOD base then you can hardly expect silence and it's tough titties if they make noise, but at the same time you may not expect an MOD base to be running track days and continous car noise is very different to the odd jet fighter or helicopter taking off. Bizarrely the MP in question is in the safest of safe seats, so I've no idea why he's pandering to a minority. Especially since he's campaigned so strongly for the RAF base in question to be maintained rather than closed! I suspect there's rather more to it than is being reported, probably because it's negative to both the even organisers and the RAF itself. I'm thinking a very lax attitude to silencers on exhausts (which the RAF turned a blind eye to) and significant hooning when arriving/leaving. Also, the Change page says that there has "been a complete lack of tests during these events to test if there is an official noise nuisance". Well sorry guys, but if you're not providing noise meters to prove your clients are being too loud then you can hardly complain when someone else decides to kick up a stink. Honestly, sometimes the industry really doesn't help itself.
  18. And people wonder why I bang on about making your car as quiet as possible for track use. In my own experience track days are significantly louder than karting is, so not surprising they're happy to keep one and not the other.
  19. There is no such thing as a TV too big for the room. Ever.
  20. And now it’s burritoed in the snow, that’s nacho best way to start ownership I’ll get my coat.
