OV9

I've got a variety of sites on this hosting, some which are no longer operational.

I've had an issue before due to vhosts and some of my....less legitimate configurations (some would call them bodges) so I'll have a look

If you're wondering why you're following a shitty channel on a Instagram called Bluesky Media - it's because it used to be Carfections channel. Not sure if hacked or sold...

That's a lovely house Garage looks a bit small though

So...when's the house warming party? Are we all invited?

Barely any for sale at all now. Used to be a decent selection....can't imagine they're perceived well enough to be in mothballed collections so I suspect many have been written off I *still* tell people how good my VXR8 was - still one of my top 3 most fun cars. Mad to think I paid under £11k for mi...

c£100k though? Seems a bit pricey to me for what you get...and I'm a big, big fan of the K-Series but I just think you could get a Dan-spec car as good for less than half that. (Although fair enough, he mentioned they stuck with the K to get into the US).

Just in case you weren't sure of the name

Do cars adjust their estimated range as they get older, or do they work like old mobile phones and laptops which report 8 hours use but only last 2?

Thanks @Jobbo - the voice of reason. And probably correct. Yep, lame flat seats... :lol: Well the Evora seats are worse! Objection m’lud. The Recaros (CS I believe?) in the S1 Evora are fabulous . Lots to like about the later cars, but I don’t think I’ve seen a single suggestion that the Sparco’s f...

Thanks Jobbo - the voice of reason. And probably correct. Yep, lame flat seats... :lol: Well the Evora seats are worse! Buy Evora 400, drive for a few years until bored and sell it. Replace with big Lexus which will have depreciated substantially like all big V8 GTs do and done the bulk of it's depr...

Why only cyclists? Are they frequently trying to jump over them, Evel Knievel style?

Blue still the best colour for them

What’s the deal with the plate?

The owner before me was called Matty and left it on.

I know it’s a stretch…

I'm also frequently called Mixty, so I get why. But only at weekends.

I’m sure you read the thread on PH by someone who bought one. It was going to be a keeper forever; but he sold it within a year. https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=47&t=1972677&i=40 Yeah saw that one, but only due to potential redundancy which did in the end happen (app...

If you can afford £12k over 2 years why put a max figure on it. Admittedly I'm 47 now and it's probably only the last 5 years I've not dwelled on the cost of things rather than live on the basis of can I afford to indulge in something I want regardless of cost and perceived value. Your only getting...

Someone who lives in my road has one if these in this exact colour, I can see it now from my office window. There are a lot of positives, both head (bullet proof with a long warranty) and heart (sound), the only real kicker for me is the “lack” of power compared to the 550. If it's a Sport+ (wheels...

So I've been shopping for an LC500 for a while now. Pretty much given up, limited budget, rare car and me wanting a specific spec... I assumed these were now reaching “feasible” for you? :( What are your spec-ific must-haves? I'm after a Sport+ (RWS, LSD, Carbon roof, and more) Financially yes - I ...

I probably shouldn’t ask, but do go on.

You should!

I really enjoyed sim racing, the setting up process (with VR - essential!) and a decent wheel was always too much of a pain and I don't have the room to keep it permanently in place. My shortlist includes an AMG GT, Panamera, Mulsanne or F-Type I've got another suggestion for this list, but I can't ...

Another ECPOTY, and it's only turned Feb.

I can see the engine appeal, and the waftyness, but I'm do like the Macan. When you move into that price bracket though, there are some big players...was there nothing else a consideration or are you now both beholden to the brand

Over £1000 for insurance still sounds mad to me. That was my mental limit back in my 20s when I wanted something fast; I think I paid about £900 per year for my Corrado VR6 insurance aged 25 with a London address. It's never been as much since. Not looking forward to the renewals this year if premi...
