Re: Your fleet running reports

The UP looks fantastic, I don’t normally like cars with such a small sidewalk but that looks really cool 8-) Dave! What about cars with no pavement at all? Since my phone updated about 6 months ago my predictive text is atrocious. Presume I just have a tumour on the brain and it makes sense though....

Re: Your fleet running reports

I’d be keen to hear if there’s a tangible difference between the M2 and M2C :) Yeah, let us know Roberto The Comp feels much punchier/torquey than my car which feels more normally aspirated with a zingy top end . It doesn't actually feel quicker though. The newer car is more composed over typical u...

Re: Your fleet running reports

The M2 has just had it's first proper service at 14k miles. Nothing to report other than a rear light cluster replaced under warranty. I haven't even put tyres on it yet. I like everything about it. It always feels like an event driving it as did my 996 but far more practical and therefore usable. ...

Re: Your fleet running reports

I’ve driven a few 135i coops recently and they’re very quick ( esp with 400bhp ), very solid .....but you can ‘feel’ the extra lard through a roundabout Definitely my biggest complaint about the 330ci - it's such a lardy fucking thing. Sure, at speed it hides it's weight, but if you're braking towa...

As Fatboy said, you’ve come a long way baby! https://i.imgur.com/nN3aCth.jpg Cheers Mike, I enjoyed the good old days. I think that is why I am now in an exige - lightness of touch and raw feel.

Hope it goes well for you Dave.

Seems you’re in good company with Jethro reading his 996 Running Report in EVO mag this month

Re: Clay pigeon shooting

Did it as a youngster along with other forms of shooting. Did ABT, Skeet, DTL and Sporting disciplines and got reasonably good - enough to get some Eley badges and win a couple of cups. Had a Winchester 101 Lightweight 12 gauge Liked Sporting the best but most places put on a DTL when I used to do i...

Re: New Car

I must correct my previous criticism on power figures WRT Autocar. They seem 100% bob on with their bhp v PS stats. 8-) They often make typos or don't proofread things like a lot of mags are guilty of. Generally though I've found they're pretty close on most of the info and they can usually smell a...
