Also know a chap who crashed his gf’s car, had undeclared driving convictions (think the policy had renewed and they’d forgotten to amend it) and the insurance company eventually agreed to a policy payout minus the difference in premiums she should have paid with his driving convictions… but it ...

Ian, an insurance policy is based on the info declared at the time it is taken out. Whatever Admiral might say, they can’t change anything or cancel cover for things that happen after that date. So I’ll not be informing them until renewal.

Did this come from the lawyer?


Yes, me. It's not ...

My friends ff is currently sat waiting to find out if they can rebuild his engine here or if it needs to go back to marinello, current estimates but the bill somewhere between 20-70k. They ain’t cheap to fix them things


Oof - what’s wrong with it?


Not entirely sure, but was making ...

Nice but wrong engine - that one’s got the turbot v8 in it rather than the v12

Still getting used to the Cayman. Low profile tyres and a stiff suspension has made me realise how appalling the potholes are in any town.


Unless you know the road, driving along it when it's wet, or dark is unfortunately a risky business these days, moreso with modern big wheels/small ...

I believe taxi drivers used to get past the no U turn thing by doing a 3 point turn but that's not allowed now.


There is one prohibition on the south circular near here that I circumvent if needed by driving into a church car park and then pulling back out again. No law against that so far as ...

Yes the CCTV footage did turn it into full big brother. I remember back around that time waiting on a double yellow outside a supermarket in Islington for sub-5 minutes whilst my wife, then girlfriend, ran in to grab something. Engine was running for the duration so I could drive off if a parking ...

F***. Why is it the only part of government that works efficiently is the traffic PCN system. Two in a week :evil:

One for a verboten U turn and another for missing my turning and accidentally taking the next exit down a one way street. I strongly think that Southwark have a camera installed above ...

It would feel a bit pointless to be manually changing gears knowing that really, you’re doing feck all and the car would do it better by itself.
What I find odd is it’s a limited edition and a £150,000 premium. I’m guessing Ferrari will have a very tight grip on spare parts for it because what’s ...

yes

It's good if you invested in Nvidia about four years ago.

I have friends that did. I think they're now sitting on shares worth a large six figure sum. Damn them

They supposedly have an in room response down to 32Hz


I've searched, and seen the same info (freq range 32Hz to 40kHz) - which was the claimed response from SF, but nowhere seems to know whether these quoted at the "standard" -3dB roll-off, or -6dB, or...... what?

I came across someone ...

Very nice speakers @GG. I'm a long time Sonus Faber fan albeit I'm at their entry level with my Toy Tower floorstanders. What's your amp for them, I've always assumed they really benefit from a LOT of power.


I use a Unison Research Unico Secondo. I had one a few years ago before the Devialet ...

The standard Porsche cruise is good though in that it will brake you down a hill so there isn't a risk of speeding up past a camera due to the effect of gravity (unlike the JLR version on the RR)

Sorry, the Range Rover cruise control doesn't use the brakes to stop you speeding on downhill ...

Those are nice speakers. Always loved the finish on Sonus Fabers.

I have no need for any new kit currently but by coincidence I did my usual eBay search for Meridian DSP5200s last night and found a pair for sale 10 miles from me. In silver metallic, almost like unlacquered car paint, so not the ...

I took delivery of some new loudspeakers yesterday. Effectively the big boy versions of the Sonus Fabers I already had, but the earlier non "M" version which are supposed to be smoother sounding than its successor


Ooh - very nice. What's the model no? My current speakers are my first 3-ways ...

"Good darts" is an encouraging phrase or slang compliment in darts used to praise a player after throwing a high score, a great checkout, or a solid turn at the board.

Definitely get Carplay upgraded, it’s so much better than a cradle.


I know - but I have rather blown the budget! Maybe a ...

Sounds like a fun opportunity to try new kit. If you're not going to enjoy that process then just a get a soundbar :lol:


Not quite as exciting as Newt's new Cayman (well actually these days, I get more regular enjoyment out of the hi-fi than cars...) but I took delivery of some new loudspeakers ...

Yes its something I'd really like to get done on mine but as its under warranty I can't. At least the head unit connects pretty seamlessly to bluetooth to stream but sadly not for maps.

I was watching with interest re the new PCCM upgrade but sadly it looks awful, doesn't integrate properly with ...
