Re: Looking at buying a MX5
The Boxster doesn’t have an LSD either so it’s not fair to criticise the 330i for lacking that. I don’t have a lot of experience of the E90; I’ve driven a facelift 330d and an E92 335i but not particularly far or hard. I love the way the E46 drives, in any form (320td Compact courtesy car to Alpina ...

Re: Lego
I won’t be paying full price for the Chiron but I may be tempted at ~£200 or less. We’ll see if it ever gets that big a discount.
Now I’ve seen it in the flesh (at the Lego store in Honolulu) I think it looks pretty good.

Re: Changing Run Flats for Standard Tyres
Bollox to telling the insurers. You're fitting standard legal tyres. Asking the question is inviting stupidity on their part. Save yourself the hassle. If the car comes with RFTs then the insurer may see that as changing the original configuration of the car. Could be an easy get out for them in th...

Re: Looking at buying a MX5
Didn't Jobbo once have both (albeit a mk1 MX5) at the same time and ended up selling the Boxster because he found he always ended up taking the Mazda as it was more fun? Yep, something about the Boxster being too capable as an all-rounder and therefore not as well suited as a weekend/second car. I ...

Re: Gap insurance on personal lease
I’ve never argued that GAP insurance which covers the difference between the value and outstanding balance of finance/liability for lease payments is a bad thing. However, I have regularly said you may well be fully covered by your normal policy or the lease wording so it may be completely unnecessa...

Re: Brittany and Normandy trip
Excellent write up Chris
I always like to stay in Honfleur or Etretat before getting the ferry back from Le Havre; both worth a visit when you’re in the vicinity.

Re: Matt Le Blanc to leave TG.
Oh, and I’ll add Nick Grimshaw to the list of possible replacements because he’s finishing the R1 breakfast show. I doubt he even has a driving licence but that probably wouldn’t rule him out.

Re: Matt Le Blanc to leave TG.
It would be nice to see Harris become the anchor rather than the goon and butt of Joey’s jokes.
However, does this cement Rory’s place for a while? That’s an unfortunate corollary if so.

Re: What is wrong with me?

Proceed through life with this assumption and apply the necessary level of hand-holding of everyone until they prove they can do otherwise and the world provides less friction. And it really is everyone. I asked someone on here with a busi...

Re: Project Binky
I did wonder about Nick's hair in the first part. Glad it was an intentional set up.
The little hose connector which mounts on the bulkhead for the coolant pipes is a thing of beauty. I wonder if they make more from their videos than they do from their engineering business now, though?

Re: Adios manuel
most Ferraris are fitted with paddles in large part not because they are " built for pure speed" but because it makes them more docile pottering around town posing and/or more acceptable to the NCG middle aged men that make up a significant portion of their clientele. You're not wrong - t...

Re: Automotive Obscurities
Something I've always thought looked amazing, and still does now: the Bertone Ramarro. Based on a Corvette C4, I know there was at least one running car but I think it was just a concept and not released to the public. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/37/Bertone_Ramarro_%282495...

No, I once went to a Warhammer shop when I was young with some Space Crusader models I’d painted.
