i have a big breaker bar and a torque wrench, it just gets annoying winding them on and off - particularly as i have very dished wheels so using a smaller ratchet handle doesn’t really work as it hits the outer wheel rim.

I don't own a jack, not even a spindley OEM type one... I haven't lifted a car or taken off a wheel in maybe 10 years?! How the other half live 😄 I bet you don’t have a dozen or more alloys stacked up in your garage either. i remember being a bit shocked that neither of our cars had a jack. I was a...

is it the same advertising agency? it looks equally shit.

Coincidentally close to the parade route for the various televised state visits…

i used to live 20 metres from that spot!

i would and have on most of my cars. There’s often a better/cheaper/available/etc size or spec of tyres that get recommended.

That treatment is shocking - imagine if it was your only car. Are they still trying to weasel out of responsibly?

The future in Deskjockeys world…. i just bought my Elise and i’m now waiting 6 weeks for my government employed Car Understanding National Trainer appointment so i can take it home. The day of the appointment happens and a 19 year old with 4 weeks training at the Stelantis Academy turns up and doesn...

yeah, chop saws aren’t too bad - i use mine a lot. it’s often quicker to get it out and set it up than cut a few bits by hand.

Blimey, you must understeer more than Nebpor in his M5! you’ve only had it about a month!

lol - yep - they were very upside down! who was the idiot?

Worth mentioning that it’s 40mm longer than a Stagea and a foot wider, so the little V6 isn’t really helping with packaging.

If they can’t just be left in the boot charged “forever” then they’re kind of pointless. If your car needs jump starting enough that you remember to keep the battery pack charged weekly/monthly, then you probably need to fix your car.
