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 ...

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...

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.

David Cameron is available.

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.

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.

See: most people. Essentially nearly everyone is a fuckwit. 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...

I tried a Big Mac recently for that very reason. It was boring. You aren’t missing anything.

Is this car-related only?

Never owned a V12
Never owned a supercar

So many people DIW.

Did you get a receipt?

I haven’t even paid anything but it’s arriving the day I get back from honeymoon. The old one is going the same day. Perfect.

Have you seen this leak yet?

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?

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...

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. Even though I went there on rollerblades and was wearing knee pads I was the coolest person in the store. I learned quickly that they should be avoided. Dave! So you're not actually being sociable your...

Dave!

Do you go to clubs of like-minded people to play with Lego and trains?

Pulling the choke out and pushing it back at the right time, mixture adjustment levers: both skills to be gained and utterly irrelevant now.

Gears themselves are only a product of small operating bands of engines.

How does that help my bald spot?

Getting married (or at least, picking up cake, suits, dress etc).
