Trump IS the Elvis/alien...

Now I am all shook up!

My eldest is learning to drive, Im giver her extra lessons on top of the weekly 2 hours with an instructor. I had a chat with him this morning, as my advise conflicts with what she is learning from him. He said that the handbrake is called a parking brake for a reason, it should never be used unles...

How much of a pain is it to work on? I’ve had similar symptoms in the past with oil down the plug holes which only seems to cause an issue at hot idle. In the context of this fault, or generally? I mean, like the Elise access is always difficult because it's low, everything is hidden behind other t...

Top pensioners money saving trick, but I assume we all go for a big poo before trying to set personal best times? (Can save half a kilo sometimes).

I can live with your vehicle and driving style, but Crocs aren't negotiable.

Most 911/Boxster/Cayman drivers wave once they realise that the 928 is actually a Porsche. I've had 3 Boxsters and 4 Caymans and could recognise a porsche in the distance before your arse was as big as a shirt button! :lol: I also give a little half hearted wave if the other driver seems to have no...

Research has recently revealed that people who own Crocs will probably drive a diesel SUV. Slowly.

A ‘65 Mustang spotted in Waitrose carpark last weekend. A rare manual model too.

Although people probably look at me, then the watch and decide it’s probably a fake anyway

This is the theory that I always work on.

I wear mine 3-4 times a week, otherwise it would be worthless!

Would a VW Up fall into your price range? A wildcard would be an old (easy to maintain) classic. The insurance could be lower too. When I started my R-R apprenticeship in the early 1970s I had great fun in my Hillman Imp. it's over Paul - let it go. Easy for you to say, but an all alloy OHC rear en...

Are prices falling quickly? I've been joking about getting a rrp rolex for my 50th next year but they are so overpriced on the secondary market it's unlikely. Very slight drops in some used prices but new stuff still pretty much unobtainable. A friend tried Goldsmiths at Meadowhall and HL Brown las...

Oh yes you're right! There is a car behind those mirrors.

If you are still in the area this weekend (and interested) Rich, they are expecting up to 200 Porsches at Wollaton Hall in Nottingham from about 10 am on Sunday.

I think you may have overestimated my circumstances.

I've got 3 wrist watches, but I don't think of two being spares, more a small collection. We've also got three different Dyson vacuums.

Cheers, never thought of them! Will do some research.

My partner's Up GTI is coming up to its fourth birthday soon, and she mentioned changing it possibly. Apart from getting a new Up GTI (whilst they still make them) we need to move up to a Fiesta ST or Hyundai i20n and spend a good few grand more to purchase and run. When did all the fun to drive tid...

I wonder how much less greenhouse gas would be produced if we didn’t have to produce food for domestic pets? Sorry to mention the Labrador in the room…
