Re: MX5 test drive

The handling is a bit roly poly as standard so I had the Mazda/Eibach 30mm lowering springs fitted to mine. Much less roll and of course an improvement in the looks too. Ive also lowered mine and added uprated anti roll bars, I think it does take away that extra movement that Dave refers to at high...

Re: MX5 test drive

Mate of mine here has the bright orange special edition one which I drove recently on some hill roads. I'm 6ft 4ins and the airflow over the top of the screen hits me straight in the eyes, which almost immediately means if I bought one I'd never be able to drive it with the roof down. Great little c...

Re: Anyone play drums in here?

Posting as I've seen a few of this guy's vids now - (usual caveat : to a non-drummer) he seems ridiculously skilled. However - if you were ever looking for a lesson in "less is more", then this clip could probably meet that need. ;) Dude is crazy talented and impressively, it's through pr...

Re: Rugby World Cup

Likewise the AB's. Even though their weekend comeback against Aussie was pretty special they're going into the WC with a manager who has already been told he's being replaced essentially after a vote of no confidence a good 12 months ago. There are a few big names who will retire straight after the ...

Re: Lego

What is this Brickset shizzle you speak of?

I saw a Concorde leak over the weekend and it looks so epic I'd change my office round to make it work.

Have just ordered the "Tranquil Garden' and 'Himeji Castle' today.

Re: 992 S/T

Those all sound like lovely stories, but did the old 1969 ST ever have the very odd forward slash in their name? That's the weird bit that stops it being an "ST" and makes it an "S or a T" depending on something else presumably? Nerd note. If you go to the Porsche Newsroom and d...

992 S/T

Predictably fucking awesome and I would probably sell my testicles to own one. And they're great testicles.

Also Tom Ford's faux childish impishness is a poor substitute for the Harris and Catchpole conversations with AP we all need.

Re: How many websites do you use?

I work as a product owner for two websites our company builds and maintains. Strictly speaking both have a public and admin side but when answering I counted each as a single thing. But in order to actually run those two sites, I must engage with 30+ sites a week just to do that, let alone here, YT,...

Re: FAO Business savvy people

In my experience looking at purchasing literally anything in Australia is that everything there costs a fortune apart from food, but no one really bats an eyelid about it because they earn serious wages across the board. It's like their earning vs costs for things are in line with most other countri...

Re: Glastonbury 2023

Teskey Brothers / Yusuf were perfect for a sunday afternoon - amazing musicianship and vocals I was quite a Teskey Brothers fan. Been to a number of their shows down here. But earlier in the year they unceremoniously dropped their drummer and bass player, the recording and arranging chops of the ba...

Re: Foo’s new drummer

He's a drummer's drummer - I don't know a single drummer anywhere who doesn't rate him very highly. Can play absolutely anything (he followed Vinnie Colaiuta with Sting for instance) and is one of the most recorded drummers alive right now. Hundreds and hundreds of different tracks and albums in pla...

Re: Tina Turner

She was an icon that woman, on many, many different levels. I remember when I started to learn to play music, early 90's as a kid it was already not cool to be listening to her stuff, but of course we did, because you have your parents influence in there as well. So as a kid I quietly liked a few of...
