6 is burnt. 5 is toasted. 4 is lightly toasted. 1-3 is bread
1 can be achieved by leaving a piece of bread in a warm room for a few hours, to let the bread go stale.

Anyway - I do like full digital dashes although the thought of replacement costs when they fail is a bit :shock: VW have gone full digital dash wth the Mk8 Golf....I thought it would be pretty cool if you could scroll through the GTi instrument clusters through the years and choose your favourite i...

Re: Suzuki Jimny

Because it’s 7 years old? Yeah, no replacement either. It was an attention grabbing halo car, it doesn't really need a replacement. It needs replacing with another attention grabbing halo car 😉 Saw this poster in my local BMW dealership, tres cool 😎 https://i.imgur.com/mfRfU3d.jpg

Re: Suzuki Jimny

Doesn't the Ignis have a part electric drive train? Was thinking they could possibly fit that same drivetrain in the Jimny, but perhaps not quite as straight forward as that, as it might not integrate with the 4WD system?

Re: Spain Epic Drives

Yeah, last September I drove down to Portsmouth, got the Ferry to Santander, then went to the Picos De Europa, into Portugal, then Spain. Back up through the Pyrenees, Andorra then up through France/Belgium/Holland. You thinking of taking the Boxster? Roughly the route I took: https://i.imgur.com/WE...

If I’d ordered a Porsche one, it would’ve been £55. Instead I’ve ordered a MkIV Golf one for £15. Identical part. God bless the MkIV Golf.

Re: Harry’s Garage

Think the pic of the tyre is marked as made in 2009, I don’t want to get Paul Walkerowned so I’m out. Think Harry said that one is on Supers Sports, and they weren't introduced to the market by Michelin until 2011. He’s talking about the one in Maurice’s ad. It looks like it’s still on it’s origina...

Was a HPC owners car, I was similarly fortunate to get a run round the Alpine course in it, with the owner. Car felt very planted and capable tbh.

Re: The Motorbikerist Thread

CBR600RR collected today, some media pics done at Demon Tweeks HQ with Michelin reps too. Promises of Michelin trackdays and possibly a spot on Ron Haslam day from DT too. I've booked Oulton March 13th (Fri) as a shakedown day, tagged Rev and a few others in to that, it could be a fun day all told....
