Re: Best car you have ever driven?

Caterham Superlight SV around Elvington, never had more of a feeling of 'wearing' a car.

Bloody noisy things interrupting my sandwich eating.

Re: Bug guts

There are dedicated bug and tar removers, I've used a couple to good effect in the past, no idea what effect they would have on Rainx though.

Re: Stoopid BT62

Is saying 'track only' a cheaper way to bypass regulations though? There are P1 GTR's and Ferrari FXX's that have been made road legal.

I run a 4 Series one, we've had sensible questions and pictures of people cars so far.

What do you mean when you say tinker with? I can't imagine you could strip much weight out of either of them.

Re: F1 Thread

Yesterday they were projecting a virtual dashboard on the halo on the in car shots which looked pretty good and moved the clutter out of the way so you could see what the driver was doing. Not sure if it was a trial thing or only certain cars as they don't seem to be using it today. I saw that in p...

Re: What's wrong with yours?

If you think it's pad deposits, go and give it a couple of big hard stops (after warming up the brakes first, or course) and see if it improves. I had assumed when you said the garage had checked, we had already ruled out pads/discs/caliper mounts. And yes, ball joint-based vibration can come on qu...

Re: What's wrong with yours?

The BMW's auto headlights seem overly keen to switch on and stay on. Driving to work this morning, bright sunshine, the lights stayed on all the way. Yes, I could have turned them off, but I was curious to see if/when the car would figure it out. It didn't. Then it worked fine (i.e. they stayed off...

I dunno, the garage said the brakes were fine so I'm assuming not.

Re: What's wrong with yours?

Vibration under braking but brakes check out ok. Suggestions from garage are a tyre that is worn more than the opposite side but I can't see how that would only manifest under braking and not all the time. Ball joint Ah OK, is that something that would fail over time or could a pothole cause it? It...

Re: Cat D cars

What would it be worth if it wasn't a write off? A broken bumper and lights would be enough to write off a ten year old civic at insurers body shop rates so I wouldn't be too concerned about it being anything seriously structural. But, it may cost you more to insure, and it will be more hassle to g...

Hi Paul, I'm pretty sure everyone knew about your Cayman anyway (black innit?). Didn't you have some sort of Fiat as well? TBH I knew much better who you are than some of the noobs who decided to change their name when we changed forum. One can only presume they enjoy making life difficult. :evil: ...

Re: New shiny - Galaxy S8

Is it the normal one or the edge? I had the S7 edge up until last week before the slippery sod got smashed. I found the edge screen more of an irritation than a bonus.
