Better tyres will transform it too. If you think it’s good now you’ll be blown away when you get those Toyo’s off. Yeah, I was a bit :? when I saw what was on there. Is there anything, in particular, you'd recommend? There are a million tyre threads but hard to know what's best especially with the ...

Out of interest (I am not a motorbiker) why have you lost interest on the motorbike side? Commuting was a big factor in riding motorbikes, and the last two years have seen me ride my bike once. And as my son has grown up my appetite for risk has gone way down, so I was starting to not enjoy blastin...

Have to say I'm really impressed with how good using motion control is! Not so impressed with the recent patches and how much harder grinding for cars has become.

Picked up the 111R today. Sadly it was a 4-hour drive back on the motorway, which wasn't very thrilling. Was surprisingly comfy and quiet, sitting at 70mph in 6th gear. Ankles were cramping halfway home! Took every opportunity at roundabouts to experience what it feels like to corner on rails. Feels...

Also - how feckin massive does the GT3 look beside an Elise?

'06 111R with a few mods. Lost my appetite for riding motorbikes so thought this was the next best thing.

Had a fun hour at Jon Seal Sportscars. Ended up putting a deposit down on the blue one. Also got to poke around the GT3RS, that is a car to die for.

Whether correct or not, enjoyed this journey through the history of Lotus.

Had a mobile tyre fitter come round to put some new boots on and I'm wondering how they can be making much, considering the price is not that much different to just buying the tyres from somewhere like BlackCircles.

Does anyone know what the profit margins are like on tyres?

Quite s collection on this listing:

Halford Advanced it is then.

Any tool chest recommendations? I keep looking at the Halfords Advanced ones when they come up on sale but have no idea if there is better for less. Their advanced range seem a lot better than the standard range, but I do keep seeing ads for chests that are sub £200.

Shame about the SD going but if you don’t get the opportunity to stretch its legs it does seem a bit pointless keeping it. Yeah. No doubt that the engine is incredible, but I ride it at a fraction of what it's capable of. The chance to really open it rarely happens, where as the 690 I can wring the...

Had an Aeron, a Steelcase Leap and now have a Humanscale. Can't go wrong with any of them IMO. My only complaint of the Aeron is that it takes up a lot of space.

Been a while, but small update from me. Sold the 1290 SDR and picked up another 690

is it for a special car that couldn’t be easily replaced with a like for like?
No just my 1 series.

TBH I'm not sure?

When shopping around for renewal quotes, what's the right answer for vehicle value? Is it what I paid for it, even if I bought it four years ago, or is it what I deem it to be valued at now?

Interesting read on a technique for stealing BMWs.
