I'm 33 now and I feel old 😂

Mito must be youngest on here I would think?

Or Pete (had a CRZ?) if he is still around?
I'm still around! Like Mito I'm 28 and in my prime :D

Re: Bad name changes on Social Media

Well I thought Drive Nation was a crap name too but I just got used to it after a while. I expect I'll get used to The Intercooler after a while as well.

How frequently do you have to do it? I need to use a Dutch government SharePoint site regularly for work and it requires a password change every 30 days : :evil:

Re: Gordon Murray T50 Live Launch

Like the road version but for a track car the Aston Valkyrie seems a far more special way to spend £3m.

TG article says the engine is McLaren design.
Evo says it's still a Ricardo one.
I've noticed Evo quite often spell Ricardo with two Cs, as they have in this article.

Re: The phallic neck-tie is an outdated symbol of white male rule

I once did an internship in the fleet department of a construction company. Except for dress down Fridays, the dress code was business casual and almost everyone wore suit trousers and a shirt with no tie, except for one graduate who wore a tie Monday - Thursday. When I asked him why he wore a tie h...

Drive Nation were very complimentary on the Litchfield add-ons, and I think Harry was in his video as well. https://www.instagram.com/p/CKqeC-HlMTh ... qjdert2vqx

Seeing as he's had some high profile brand partnerships with Maserati (hosting the MC20 launch) and Aston Martin before he probably knows what he's doing when it comes to making deals like th...

Re: Supercar Market Update

A couple of years ago I said several times on here that the 4C was one of very few cars that I really lusted after. I still do, but I think the Alpine would probably win out for me now but I think I'd regret it for a while every time I saw a 4C.

Re: The Watches Thread

Yeah for sure it's rough around the edges but I prefer it to the cardboard / fake leather factory made straps at this price point. A proper high quality strap is much better of course, and I'm not necessarily against paying almost £100 for a strap (the grey one was about that) but don't want to do t...

Re: The Watches Thread

I also would have said before that hate straps that don't taper, but actually I think tapering would look odd on this one - the leather is very thick and tapering would exagerate that. It actually looks much better on the wrist than in that photo - if I could cut 1-2cm off the holes end then it woul...

Lovely, bargain hand-made leather straps here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/lawr389/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from= - I've got about a dozen now. The edges are unfinished so they're not 'formal' but they're made of really nice soft leather which looks great as it wears and are very com...

Re: Would you buy a car purely on EVO recommendation?

The problem is you can't really experience the driving dynamics of a car on a typical test drive anyway, so for the most part need to rely on what other people say and Evo is about the most credible.

Re: WhatsApp tinfoil hats

Based on this article it sounds like as I'm already part of the Facebook system it will make very little different to my data security (or to anyone else with a FB / IG account).
