Good point. I may have too hastily considered them greedy bastards in my head.

Bananavision

So in the past I have tried yellow-lensed “night driving glasses”. Yes we have discussed this before. Yes there was some sniggering at the back of the class. I never found them beneficial when it was fully dark - in that scenario I prefer my eyes to receive as much light as possible and I didn’t fin...

Re: Lotus Emira

Not being able to drive the Sport and Touring before having to order seems a real pain though. How far out from build date do you have to finalise your choice? Not sure tbh. And I have just realised that there is a way to compare the two back-to-back. 8-) So long as you are prepared to travel to He...

The new South Park lampoons Harry and Meghan and is absolutely top-level ridicule, they’ve summed it up perfectly as they embark on their ‘Worldwide privacy tour’ 😂 https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMYkKeWoo/ Although they push the boundaries somewhat - as is tradition - that is very funny.

They only used the Cup1 in model year 92/93 cars. Same as 964/968. 94 cars used the Cup2.

I assume it was a marketing thing rather than cost?

First-edition cars are loaded as is normal for first-edition cars, but yeah - can't imagine there ever being a stripped-of-all-options £60k i4 now.

94 is a good enough run - RIP.

Likely Half Man Half Biscuit will make some royalties as everyone goes back to take a listen.

Re: A celebration of well filled arches

OB 928s came on 15" teledials, S through to S4/GT came on 16" and the GTS came on 17"s. There are a few people who put 19" Panamera wheels on 928s but they a) look fucking ridiculous and b) utterly destroy the ride and handling. 19's sound awful. :( Much like the 944, 16's work ...

Re: Lotus Emira

Also - seeing some unrest on the forums - several people (or people they know) cancelling their Emira orders due to delays in build-date, difficulties getting a test-drive, and a recent £2k price increase. Dealers do have (as I understand it) one car each, and at the moment test drives are only bein...

Re: Official Countach disagreement poll. No it isn't. Yes it is.

Mik, none of us bothered to read any of that. I still have that copy of Fast Lane so read it in the 1980s. So for at least 35 years it's been better without the rear wing and that won't change. Does it mention anything about lift or stability? (I've probably got a copy...somewhere...). Yes. Martini...
