I like the drive with the backrest quite a way back ( gangsta lean :lol: ) don't think I've ever had my heat touch a headrest unless I'm a passenger trying to have a snooze.

Re: The MotoGP Thread

I watch every race, or at least I try anyway. Just watching the lean angles they achieve and two-wheel drifting is worth it alone, never mind the close racing.

PS4 better road tyre especially in the wet. MPSS only has slight advantage on track in the dry. I've changed from MPSS to PS4 on the rears of the M140i and they have been so much better in the cold/damp/wet.
Good to know. I've always used MPSS and might try PS4 next time.

Fully round steering wheels look so much better, it's something that never needed fixing.

Re: Harry’s Garage

Indeed. I saw one in Oxford city centre a few weeks ago and it was CAF. Now I've seen the interior, I don't like it now. Too fussy, too much "design" if you know what I mean.

Re: Top Gear

Waste of an episode, it could have been much better. Interesting that both Top Gear and The Grand Tour reviewed the M5 in the same week. I really like the new M5 except for one thing: the lack of flared wheel arches :( . The M5 has never had noticeably flared wheelarches; the E60 and F10 had differ...

P1 on the M42. Don't like the colour scheme but the shape is absolutely stunning.

Emirates A380s are the best planes I've been on, that's why I always try and fly with them to HK. BA's A380s aren't as good.

Re: Teh Spotted Thread

Blue Alpine A110 in Bicester. Now I'm not sure on the looks. It didn't grab my attention as much as I thought. On the same day, a brand new AM Vantage in grey drove past me in Oxford city centre. It looked fucking awesome! 8-)

Re: 992

The only thing I don't like about the 992 is how the spoiler looks when it's up. I love the shape of the spoiler but it looks shit when it's up. It's like the flip up lid on some jazzy new type of Brabantia bin 🤣 I kinda agree. I wouldn't say it looks shit, just a but weird. Otherwise, it's a lovel...

Re: Your fleet running reports

The car is now fixed so I decided to get a dash cam and went for the Nextbase 412 after researching a bit on the interweb. Simple setup (basically plug-n-play), records in HD (1440p or 1080p at 60 fps), GPS, can switch the speed recording off ;) and less than 100 quid. Really happy with the quality...

Re: Your fleet running reports

If you remember, I got hit into last November on the M6 and had to settle for partial 50-50 blame even though middle-lane twat swerved into me. After constantly going back and forth arguing my case, with no witness or video evidence, I accepted the blame cos I didn't need the stress with other stuff...
