Re: Choose

Mik's rules actually influence this, alongside Catchpole's video. If I've got to drive it regularly, and it monetarily has no value to me (I don't have kids so I don't care about leaving it to someone) then the answer is T50 for the driving thrills, but with the F1's induction sound please. All that...

A thousand times this.

But then when you compare the Bathurst 12hr to other 12 or 24hr endurance races, it doesn't have the gravity (yet) so maybe a Bathurst race isn't worth considering?

Re: Seatbelts on planes

What I've always wondered is how do the captains know when to instruct you to put the seatbelt on? Can you see it approaching? Is it data driven, or do you get a heads up from Fred 100km in front of you that their crew just lost their lunch? In my head I like to imagine that you're reading it all ah...

Re: No F1 thread?

Lando's win must be just about the most universally loved and approved race win I can remember. Literally everyone thought it was awesome. Good on him for having both the talent and being a nice enough guy no one can really dislike him if they tried. 8-)

We use one of these. And then the older 2600ac and two MR2200ac units as the mesh system. Absolutely flawless.

Re: Why are road trips so alluring?

It's something I've started doing here more recently, I'd rather driver for 9-10hrs down the longer routes to get between Wellington and Auckland than fly and be door-to-door in 4. I'm especially enjoying it when I'm on my own too... Just the road and seeing things. Fucking great. Driving around the...

Re: Dangerous beers...

I like the idea of craft beer nerd thread... Except everything I can show you lot you won't be able to get (with perhaps the exception of Yeastie Boys) and most of the UK stuff we get here is fairly run of the mill. When I was back last Nov/Dec I have to say, I found it pretty difficult to get acces...

We have similar issues with rats being right by the water it's almost impossible to solve. Every house on the street has them running around somewhere.

I'd totally have that but the 21" faux Fuchs are gopping. Shitty design trying to be relevant when they never can be without being numerous inches smaller.

Re: Harry’s Garage

I can't help but think that the vast majority of Tuthill's cars, especially something like the K have got it spot on. Early Singers have it for me too, they nailed the design in the same way we praise Jony Ive for reinventing carboard boxes for phones as an experience. They've become cliche as the d...

Re: Harry’s Garage

I can’t help but feel that if you want a modern 911 with modern capabilities and pace - you can get one from your local Porsche dealership and save yourself rather a lot of £s. Leaving you plenty of cash to buy and renovate an original spec 964 for when you want that old-school feel/drive. Having d...

Just watched the Theon clip and love how Harry's gushing over it. And I prefer the way it sounds to the standard Singers too. But... There's a few things about the fit and finish and design touches which just aren't Singer are they? I can't help but think if you sat Rob Dickinson and Richard Tuthill...

Genuine Q - in normal driving do you find the wind over the top of the windscreen hits your eyes? I have that issue in Elises and MX5s and I don't think my head is sitting much higher than yours? How tall are you?
