It's b*llocks. Someone did the maths on it last time it came round and it worked out that you could save a whopping 33p a year, or something equally daft like that. Any nonsense about the vapours is peanuts compared to the weight saving from driving around with 1/4 of a tank rather than a full one.

I disagree with the feminine bit, but the other points there are pretty fair. Ironically none of them concern the drive though, which is by far and away the most thrilling part of the car/s.

Actually, thinking about this a bit more I think Apple are trying to do more here than just an incremental update to an existing product. I think they're actually trying to distance themselves from the tech race we've all grown accustomed to and are focusing more on the software side, which is clearly where the innovations are yet to be made. Faster CPU, faster GPU, more storage, this is all stuff that any company can put together. The real interest is in what the software can do, and after essentially binning my Galaxy Tab 10.1 in the last couple of weeks because the OS is so incredibly flaky, there's no way I'm ever swapping an iOS phone for an Android one.

I am disappoint. Siri looks very cool but I can't see myself using it that much, and I use my iPhone for simple games not huge epic things (Infinity Blade works very well on the iPad but not so good on the iPhone IMHO). A better camera is a nice touch but it's perfectly acceptable as it is and I have my D90 for proper photos. I don't need any more space at all either, so the 64GB is pointless for me. I so wanted this to be amazing, and it's really not. It's still better than any Android phone that I can see, but it's not enough to make me rush out and get it.

And this is why I'd never do a TF day there. Through no fault of your own, you can end up massively screwed.

I'd say it looks spectacularly good value rather than suspiciously cheap.

Overheard a couple of chaps at the PH SS meet yesterday when walking past a silver Zed... "So what you think of these then?" "Yeah they're alright, I still think of them as Datsuns though" "That's because they are Datsuns really!" I think they were being complimentary rather than snidey, made me chuckle though.

Should've stuck your head over for the PH SS at the Porsche Driving Centre, you might even have seen me there! Shame how few cars were left running by the time I got there at 9am though, and gutted for the 370Z lot.

Slave and/or master cylinder on the way out, guarantee it. Do yourself the favour and get both changed as it's the clutch bleeding that takes the cost, not the parts themselves.

100K sigs also doesn't guarantee a 'full Parliamentary debate', it only guarantees a few token backbenchers chat about it round a table

Blimey, good memory! I guess the lack of oil was a slightly more terminal problem in the end

Christ that's an ugly NSX, poor car didn't deserve that Why won't people just leave the bloody things alone and appreciate them for the stunningly beautiful car they are instead of bolting plastic tat to them! I think I'd be tempted to run a Caterham for a while, just to say you've done it. Buy now when the weather is (normally) crap, run it for a while and sell at the end of next summer, you may even turn a profit and almost certainly won't lose out. Benefit of running a shed is that you can get away with stuff like this. I think I'd almost certainly be looking at C6 'Vettes too and the odd decent Mustang as well if you like Yank V8 noises.

Call them, it will probably get sorted quicker on the phone. Don't forget to take the name of the person you're speaking to as well as the time of the call.

"iPhone 5, now retard proof!"

Indeed, I wouldn't be giving a VXT a second glance with that budget. It's well within 997 or Cayman S money, as well as a TTRS or 355 if you wanted.

Well what's the issue then? Call them up, read their t&c back at them and if they still don't budge then off to small claims court you go. When was the renewal date, when did they take payment, when did you first tell them and request your refund?

Have you got proof you told them of your address change? Email record, special delivery receipt etc?

All those cars on your list are completely different, so start at the very start: What must the car have/do? RWD/FWD/4WD? 2 or 4 seats? Hardtop or convertible? NA or FI? Does reliability matter? Toy or commuter? Answer those questions honestly and you'll narrow your list down a lot.

The iOS5 announcements were made ages ago this year, and given that we know the press conference called on the 4th is iPhone-specific, I struggle to think what else it would be apart from the arrival of the next Jesus Phone. Since Apple don't tend to leave the announcement of a new piece of hardware and the actual shipping dates too far apart, along with the fact they very much want to be seen to get the next release "right" after Job's has left, there's going to be a hell of an uproar if they don't announce the new phone.

Glad you're impressed with them Hoffs, they really are quite stunning in terms of feel aren't they?

Due to be announced on Tuesday, so expect a release a couple of weeks after that presumably.

Have you got the adjustment knob on the top of the lance set correctly? I find I have to have mine on near closed (so full foam) to have a decent effect, I put that down to the lance itself than the foam or concentration itself though.

That's just a concept made aaaaages ago by an external design studio touting for business. The real iPhone 4S/5 won't be anything like that.

Shame it's Fail Wheel Drive though

335i. Do it, don't ask, you'll love it.
