You've also got the Warhammer 40k show coming soon with Caville at the helm. He's a full, hardcore 40k nerd but not only is that show going to need a metric-shit-ton of money to do well, the 40k fanbase are rabid! They'll want him hung via a lamppost if he gets a single bit or lore spelt incorrectl...

Yeah, don’t send an SF team that are deployed for this sort of thing all the time and would probably not kill every man, woman and child on board.. just slice up an entire ship and then miraculously find the (undamaged) item in the 1000 tons of twisted, burning metal. Oh and then it’s unbreakable e...

Left the Tesla in the train station car park whilst we went to London for the day. Got back at about 6pm only for the Tesla to decide to do a software update. We were keen to just get going as all hungry and just want to go home. But apparently you can't cancel an update, so had to sit there for 25...

"Finished in exclusive kermit green"

Also, re the colour of the leather, I had an ivory interiored jag and never any issues. I actually much prefer a lighter interior as it gives the car a more airy feel. I like light colours on big luxury cars to increase the airiness, and black on small sports cars to reduce distractions. What about...

It's not full jobbo (never go full jobbo, at least not with your own money), but how do we feel about the reddish brown dash top & carpet ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/355690001258 (yes, I'm mildly obsessing atm, but any purchase will hinge on selling the Spur & the Cayenne, so it's not happ...

A tedious point but if you plan to have infirm elderly relatives live with you, you will really have to consider access to GP and other services and for me that makes living rurally a no-no. Mine are lucky to live in a big suburb with a decent GP, although Leeds General Infirmary could be better. A ...

As a non-Londoner, can you summarise for me why everyone seems to hate Khan? Apart from Ulez, obv. The Tories are really down to their Z list now as anyone with competence has moved on. I think the dislike of Khan displaced votes across various parties as the blue candidate was such a non-starter. A...

Front is ok, back is balls, wheels are borderline balls, name is total balls.

Overall - balls.

The only thing that may save me is that the interior is vaginal in colour.

I've never been terribly fussed about parts sharing in other cars, although I know it bugs some people.

I like his point about the instruments being like a watch face. It's spot on.

I just had a glass of red wine and I'm on autotrader again....

He's right.
Although he's a bit obsessed about interior parts sharing.

...while the handling is more sports car. That bit really caught my attention here, especially knowing you have Boxster experience, as I've always thought the Aston feels quite big & heavy compared to my 996. I'm far more confident throwing the Porsche around. Not knocking the Aston though. For...

I followed this guys thread on PH for a while. https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=47&t=2010189 The spacers and slightly lowered ride height make for subtle but really nice improvement to the overall look. Those seats as well 8-) Thanks for the link. The other interesting mo...

Mrs Newt: what’s the latest on the Ian situation?
Me: well they met and he said it didn’t go well.
Mrs: Did he give any more detail?
Me: Not sure, the thread has deteriorated into talking about lube.

From memory these are absolutely transformed with a lightweight flywheel. Still not be of the prettiest cars on the road. Dave! Yeah, it seems like a common upgrade is a dual plate clutch with the lightened flywheel… just £3000 for you sir. And I did not get tired of looking at it. It’s gorgeous fr...

I looked at them briefly...but suprise suprise, the bills can be outrageous. That guy who had a £15k bill on Pistonheads was enough for me. The 4.7 I believe is better if you can stretch. I'd be tempted to sacrifice everything I own for the V12, mind. The 4.7 gets a better write up as having solved...
