Re: Japanes/Asian/Eastern Omlette / Omurice

That's how I would cook my eggs but the rest of the family would expect them cooked through more.

Eggs seasoned with Aromat is a breakfast or brunch staple.

JIC

Large central rev counter containing a digital speedo and small 180' analogue speedo with 25mph increments.

Epic car, I'd be quite happy with a "normal" GT2 though given that's probably 3x the value!

Re: Your fleet running reports

My son has had a.Cupra Leon PHEV with 204bhp for 2 and half months and he'd blocked me in on the drive today. Beer run needed I took it for a spin, slightly damp conditions but really nippy and quite fun although it felt quite a handful with the TC frequently flashing.

Check tyres at home, bald ...

Re: Central driving position Elise

There must be 50+. They had a 1 make series for 3 years possibly more plus there were GT3/Endurance cars as well.

My mate won the class b group of the Lotus Championship in one beating Monkey in 2001 and also drove in Endurance races on the continent with an Italian chap after.

Body Colored Wheels

I get really excited about body coloured wheels.and don't get why we don't see more of it.

My interest was piqued in the late 80s as there were a few Alfa's locally with them, notably a Red 164 owned by my best mates Dad with Red centres and polished rims.

Went to Cardiff Uni in 95 and regularly ...

If that's the four pot turbo, with eight speed ZF, then that'll be getting well north of 40mpg on a run without trying, right?
</boring mode>
Yeah, although I don't think it has an easy life and averaged 31mpg which is about 10 more than she was getting in her GT86.

Re: Your fleet running reports

Had a great spin in my daughters Supra this afternoon. It feels brawnier than the 258bhp suggests, I certainly wouldn't feel short changed with one over a Cayman.

Yes. If it didn't you couldn't tax it but would be expected to tax it immediately post test.

Re: GVE London

That's only if you allow them to put the V5 into trade and even then they don't own the car.

I've sold SOR twice and kept a key and the V5. I'm sure there are horror stories if you have given everything in favour of the dealer but that's not my experience.

Can anyone brighter than me explain why you would file a NoI unless you you were going to the wall or trying to gain a significant reduction or write off from your creditors?

That's a pretty sleazy piece of spin in that video!
