The 1 355 I’ve been in felt like a kit car compared to the 1 360 I’ve driven. Proof if needed that the 360’is a better bet if you want to drive it. Or if you are a man with taste and an ability to attract the finest of ladies, get a 512 TR in black with caramel interior. Dave! I don't doubt that, a...

It needs warming, lubricating and a sufficient amount of space for a run up.

Dave!

Don't you just spit?

Stop showing the rest of us up with your romantic ways!!

Dave!

I will inform my wife I have been accused of being romantic and she should feel lucky.

What's the best Ferrari forum to get a view for actual real world feedback and buying guides? @Sundayjumper @IanF #stealthpost Worst now I am not spunking all my money on building a house I can now afford a Ferrari post ever :lol: Of course it needs to be a 355 (Berlinetta or Spider doesn't matter)...

I've seen this where the spaces are up against a wall which could be stained by an exhaust if you were an idiot and sat there with your engine running, and I've also heard about malls insisting on this as it means their security have a few more seconds to nab you if you do a runner (as it's slower ...

Not really my genre, but I did catch him a few times at Dreamscapes in the early 90's with Bukem when they hit the main stage, far too young to go and he certainly didn't look ill in photos.

That's pretty self explanatory, look at the angle of the car parking spots, it's not easy to reverse in as the angle will be too sharp. Only if you are a bit special, I looked at it there at the time and thought I could do it in a oner even in my L200 (which I can get in a few surprising spots). Mi...

When in Florida last year I came across a carpark where reverse parking was banned and punishable by a fine. Oddly it's not the only place in the US where this is the case.

Picked up a set of rear disc's and pads for the TVR from GSF today. That and a couple of cans of brake cleaner was a whole £61, branded Delphi stuff too. Would have been about £180 from a TVR parts supplier, but as they are just xr4×4 stuff there's a lot to be saved. Now just need to shake this cold...

First one of those, the taxi is legally stopped but with reversing lights on, and then opens his door into the cyclist's path. So the cyclist has reason to feel aggrieved. But nobody hurt anyone and the 'Dutch reach' nonsense is fucking idiotic; cyclists are told to cycle further from stopped traff...

FInally got the last part of the ours completed last week, our ensuite. All looks nice and the wife is very happy with it all. I have a few jobs to do to tidy some loose ends up. Now onto the garden and the 15k quote to get the new patios, paths, fencing, gates and lawn that we need to fix everythin...

Magma or DCR? I can understand this, if you have something in the garage for weekend it's needs to feel special, involving and different. The Emira looks really good and reminds me of the 458, which of the modern Ferarris is my favourite. Not a massive 911 fan, I get they drive well but just not for...

As it typical of this government (or any government really) this is a ham fisted introduction to the policy change. However, in the background, I do think there are certain aspects of modern life which need to be "nipped in the bud" somewhat before Pandora's box is opened and can't be shu...

How does it compare insurance wise? The younger boy has his theory in about 3 weeks at that point I am on the hook for a car. I said not until you've passed theory as I don't want another car on the drive (we are already up to 4 and a dirty great caravan) and one that could sit around unused.

Yeah, I'm sure I can have a word with Mrs Mike to get her to up her game to reach that 100% mark. Data is anonymised which is good and from what I've read isn't sold or shared outwith BMW, but I'd be amazed if there's any way to opt out of this stuff these days given the software in cars and integr...

1 minor advisory, needs new rear disc's and pads as they are corroded. Now need to find out what they were upgraded to so I can source them. Cosworth parts so at least I can get them.

Not sure if it specifically helps with the TVR, but the place in Vulcan Way in Sandhurst gave my Smart a clean pass which was...... surprising. In a nice way. That place might prove useful, I've had good reports for it before too and the MOT centre in Yateley too. I still have 2 regular cars to MOT...

TVR MOT this evening. My usual guy has packed in automotive mechanics, sold his workshop and share in MOT centre to work on marine :o . Finding someone to MOT the TVR has been interesting, it should all be OK but I wanted someone who knew the foibles of a 90's handbuilt classic with mods (needing a ...
