OV9

Dropped the spare M3 wheels off today to get the Alpin's on them. Had forgotten about TPMS though so will just go with normal valves on them for the time being I think.

Of course, I had to use the Navara to do it as we've been in what the Daily Fail would call a snowpocalypse if it had happened ...

Black Bag is great, one of my favourite movies of the year.

I've seen a few reviews of Avatar 3 where they've said it's a cinematic spectacle, has to be seen on a massive screen, but that the actual story. plot characters etc are all utter bobbins. I still find it a bit strange that James Cameron ...

I've found Meross ones to be the most reliable for us.

Just in case anyone needs reminding how good the V8 that you’re about to pull apart looks. Particularly on these wheels (better than the Sport350 wheels for me).

I did think he might have gone for the DBX given the price of some of those now - much nicer from the outside but the interior also looks a bit bland.

I see a few Maseratis around me because there’s a dealer on the high street, but i can see why most are black, because when you can see the details (particularly the rear qtr) they are pretty ugly! The interior looks shit too.

The engine does seem to do the job though.


Oh, the rear and rear ...

I really like the look of it, was surprised by how much it cost (in a good way) although I guess the devil could be in the details - i.e. running costs.

The only thing that bothered me way too much is the model designation on the front wings which I think looks absolutely awful.

I did also wonder ...

Harry has splashed the cash following his auction sales to get away from crazy monthly payments.

The Hilux had to go in for a dreaded sensor replacement so I had to hire something to get me round Edinburgh for a few days. Enterprise gave me a Volvo XC40.

All black, obviously, including the alloys. Please, just stop with the all black, it's beyond tiring.

Fast enough, but they've done their ...

That is quite the performance

With a lot of these restomod cars, you'd have to really, really love the original to spend that sort of money on them given the spec and what else you could buy for the cash.

Cycling is so convenient in central, and the real massive win is when I need to visit multiple places in town, on a bike it's so quick to whizz between locations. When I was doing triathlon I also used to run too, it's about 8 miles from Soho to my place, so I'd get the train in which would take ...

Obviously I left the search for winter tyres for the M3 too late as usual so had trouble tracking down stuff in the stock sizes, but managed to get some Michelin Alpin 5's which should be here this week. Bargain at about £400-each each

Predator badlands even stupider and more sanitised than you might expect but, I still enjoyed it.

Really really REALLY turn off your brain and the fight sequences are decent and bits are very very funny.

Four high foots out of five.


I really enjoyed that. I thought the trailer looked ...

I see Shmeeeee has done a long piece on the market and how the bubble is bursting all over the place for every brand. Which I guess is just common sense, but does make you wonder about where this is going to end up for companies like Ferrari in particular.

He also makes the point that apparently ...

Depends on the car and the cost (what will it be used for... a main car, weekend one only etc) along with what options are standard, what are extras and what I think are must-haves. Not too bothered about options having an effect on resale value as I think that's perhaps something that's not really ...

I know we'd spoken about this before Jobbo , but I'm not sure, given the price of all cars these days, if paying RRP for a GT3 in your own spec is a "sensible" thing to do or not if its going to be your final, never to be sold car that you hold on to for life. So not something to try and flip, but ...

That's very sad to hear, 68 seems way too early, fuck cancer.

That Pump clip was also the first thing that came to my mind, nice to see it popping up again.

The side profile of an Esprit is still very much a beautiful thing.

100% coverage, with 100% butter and on hot toast so it goes nice and soft but doesn't become liquid.
