And your Porsche with half an engine, too.

They really aren’t giving Rory a chance are they! “Chris, Matt, you have £300k supercars in Norway. Rory, you have this shitty Suzuki thing that no one gives a crap about up that hill over there.” 😂 Especially as if you’re going to do that in a Suzuki I’d rather see the new Jimney put through its p...

Shorter.

Mustang/Ford 4.6. Wasn't the reason it only gave 260 (when in standard Ford form it was 300) that the packaging was so tight it was struggling with cooling or gas flow? I seem to remember something like that. The 2 valve SOHC Ford V8 never made more than 260bhp in anything. The 3 valve SOHC made 30...

Everything Harry said. I considered one years ago too. It's like the MG ZT260 though, in that another 80bhp is needed. At least with the ZT, you can bang a supercharger on it at a realistic cost (because IIRC it's just a Ford lump at the end of the day). What can you do to a W8...? Other than under...

Aren’t these horrendously unreliable or have I imagined that?

We shouldn’t underestimate just how angry the Japanese Government is with the UK right now.

It's the EUs fault for signing an FTA with Japan and absolutely nothing to do with Brexit.

*sigh*

I've always had bad eyesight, I'm short-sighted and have an astigmatism in both eyes. My prescription is never particularly stable, but it's not getting massively worse as I get older. The biggest issue I have is speed of focus and it takes a few minutes for my focus to work properly in the morning.

Clarity will have to happen at some point regarding the direction Brexit takes. And it's the current lack of direction that's fuelling the party infighting. I'm not convinced that's true. I think the collapse of the centre in terms of representation is what's at the heart of the current issues. The...

Once we know what direction Brexit is heading in, I think the parties will start to heal and move on, and <wishful thinking> hopefully we'll find ourselves with a system that is workable. Blimey, you really are expecting the moon on a stick! Didn't you know? The EU is to blame for everything!

Yes, but that doesn’t stop the opposition becoming more extreme. In fact, you could probably argue, the more middle ground the Coalition is , the more extreme the opposition has to become. So next General Election, you either stick with current government or vote for the extremists. If the current ...

No because that means me doing something other than just whinging about it. I don't often get to be the dumb user so I'm taking advantage.

I just think 2 party systems don't work and we have a defacto 2 party system in which no real change can take place. I like this new group's assertion of data lead decisions rather than idealogical but I'll believe it when I see it.

The Pop and the Soarer are both lovely in very different ways.

I see your point, but isn’t that exactly what has happened to Labour after the last Coalition? Yes, but if the only way they can get power is to join with less extreme parties then it dilutes them. The LibDems definitely curbed some of the things the Tories wanted to do. If the coalition was more e...

This... I'm beginning to think that's no bad thing anymore, stops the extremists taking over . But we need a more mature electorate that understands that joining a coalition isn't selling out.

I tried to imagine how a fair three party system would work, but I think it’d be unlikely that any one party would get over 50% and so we’d end up with a Coalition government. This...

BTW, it's really annoying that this thread is in Cars and The Grand Tour thread is in General :lol: I am rather enjoying your wranglings with various aspects of the forum at the moment 8-) I've had a break from my meds for a few days due to doctors being shit and am back on them today so I'm notici...
